Material school culture in the fields and gardens1 of the history of education: a look at academic production in Brazil (2000-2020)

The purpose of this article is to systematize and examine data that allow visualizing the construction of material school culture as an analytical perspective within the field of history of Brazilian education. Methodologically, the paper is organized to present information that reflects studies published in journals (especially those dedicated to promoting work in this field) as well as books, theses and dissertations, the presence of this theme in events in the field and in the configuration of research lines (in educational history or related fields) in graduate studies programs in Brazil. Within this production, more than identifying authors and formats, we intend to reveal the themes and perspectives through which the material school culture is associated to and established in the history of Brazilian education. The time period chosen, from 2000 to 2020, in addition to aligning with the proposal of the dossier to which the work is affiliated, is also a recognition of the strength of this approach in Brazilian academic works dedicated to educational history.
Key words: material school culture, history of education, historiography of education, graduate studies in education, Brazil.
