ABECEDARIOS OUTSTANDING: BETWEEN DICTIONARY, PRINTED AND EDUCATIONAL BOOKLETS

Abstract

Abecedarios are cultural artifacts, usually associated with the history of the school. They're secular inventions in history of the writing culture. We can't circumscribe them to school or to the history of literacy. They circulated in different socio-cultural and geographical contexts. They were present in a number of written dissemination practices of artistic production, genealogies record, teaching reading and writing, among others. In the context of cultural history and the history of the writing culture, abecedarios had an importance that is yet to understand. We follow here moments of the historicity of this artifact and as part of a documentary inventory, we observed the presence/absence of abecedarios in different booklets that comprise the Memória da Cartilha of Ufrgs.
