    Das imagéticas nacional-brasileiras e suas versões: identidades e diferenciações nas representações de normalistas em formação superior
    (2007) MARANHÃO, Helena Ponce
    Images of Brazil and Brazilians related to its history, society, culture, nature etc. were the main focus of the investigation summarised in this paper, identifying which value systems and / or meanings are of greater or less significance through an analysis of the representations of faculty and / or students. It thus examines the nature of these categorisations (meaning the discursive records) related to the conformations of Brazilian identities and their specific characteristics within the contemporary context, as well as relationships with socio-cultural differentiations. These neatly-aligned interpretative processes which are engendered and composed in the complexity of the range of historical, cultural, ideological and educational dynamics that shape the contexts of broad-ranging societies ? their group face-offs and their identity policies have been clustered together, mainly from the standpoint of assimilation by the agents being researched. The group under analysis consists of 85 male and female university students enrolled in teacher training courses. It thus consists of male / female primary school teachers ? also graduands in Education courses ? and graduands and / or teachers enrolled in Teacher Training courses. Their conceptualisations were collected through focus groups and individual compositions stimulated by the question: If Brazil were a person, how would you describe it? The analytical approach presented in this paper addresses mainly the modes of social representation or signification of teachers with medium-level training, working with basic education and enrolled in the fifth semester of the Teacher Training course offered by a specialised teacher training university college during the first six months of 2001. The analysis thus focuses on this sub-group, consisting of eighteen graduands and /or students in teacher training courses
