“Reportagem perfil de Leovigildo Duarte Junior”

Abstract

This experimental project was carried out with the aim of producing and providing memory about Professor Leovigildo Duarte Junior (1941-2009). This character was of paramount importance for the cultural, educational and political history of the cities of Sumaré and Hortolândia, in the interior of São Paulo. The work in question - a special report, in profile style - reconstructs the main facts related to Leovigildo's journey - which began in Araras, in the state of São Paulo, his hometown, passing through Sumaré, where he worked in education and politics, and arriving in Hortolândia, for whose emancipation he had significant participation. To this target, it relied on the testimony of friends, colleagues and relatives and on documents from the time, aiming to know his history and understand his motivations. In the format of a special notebook diagrammed, in PDF - in order to facilitate the sharing of the content by social networks - it is concluded that the character was a relevant social actor who sought to propel, in the aforementioned places, education, culture and memory production, from a trajectory designed based on his formation and family and educational coexistence, in his obstinate search to learn and teach, and in an idealism built with the support of the subjects who integrated his life journey. The production was guided by the reporting technique, with a focus on constructing a journalistic profile, also resorting to the technique of Oral History to obtain testimonies. In this sense, the contributions of authors such as Maia (2020), Rouchou (2003), Sodré (1986), B. Meihy and Holanda (2011), and Bosi (1994) were fundamental.
