Resumo

In this paper, the Brazilian colonial education from Vila do Príncipe in the second half of the eighteenth century is investigated, especially the local dynamics in relation to the enlightened despotism exerted by the Marquis of Pombal. It is proposed a comparison between the advances of citizenship in Europe and its unfolding in mining lands, having as a marker the Conjuração Mineira of 1789. Education is analyzed in the context of a formal and daily submission of Vila do Príncipe to the Portuguese modernization project. It presents the baroque way of being serrano (a person from the city of Serro, Minas Gerais) as pre-political, still submitted to the metropolis. From the microanalytical history and the political concepts of disciplinary power and biopower of Michel Foucault, a scenario of the education dynamics in colonial Brazil, based on spontaneous teaching and coexistence with the patron system, is outlined. The methodological procedure used was the bibliographic research in specialized books and public archives. Keywords: Brazilian colonial education. Political philosophy of education. Enlightenment.
