Fotografia e histórias do Instituto Educação Presidente Kennedy (1971-1996)

Abstract

This study aims to compose and narrate the history of the Presidente Kennedy Education Institute between the years 19971-1996, through photographs, presenting this source as a document full of information and loaded with historical, social and cultural meanings. The analysis of the images seeks to present how the institution has consolidated itself over the years, reflecting on its identity through reflections on its transformations and permanence. To theoretically support the study of photography, the works of Kossoy, Dubois, Ciavatta and Mauad were used. As for the History of School Institutions, the works of Gatti and Magalhães offer support for the work. The documentary corpus is made up of photographs found in the Collection at the Presidente Kennedy Institute of Higher Education, as well as Legislation (Laws and Decrees), Newspapers and school documents that helped to contextualize the time. Finally, this study seeks to highlight photography as a historical source, enabling composition and historical narrative, in addition to encouraging its use in areas of the history of school institutions.
