Concerned with the themes of Childhood, Violence and Education, I seek in this Master's Dissertation to investigate violence against children, through the discourses present in the Folha do Norte newspaper at the beginning of the 20th century in Belém do Pará. as a guiding question of the study: "What discourses / practices of violence against children are presented in the Folha do Norte newspaper in the early 20th century in Belém do Pará?" In order to promote the debate on a subject so relevant to the understanding of construction of the child subject and his childhood in Bethlehem we brought as general objective: To analyze the situations of violence against children in Belém do Pará at the beginning of the 20th century and its relation with the social, educational and cultural context of the period investigated. As for the specific objectives we have: (1) To identify the typology of violence against the child that was registered more frequently in the News of the Journal; (2) To reveal the discourses that are related to violence and to the education of the infancy in the investigated sources; (3) Elucidate how the culture of violence perpetrated against the child affected age, gender, and socioeconomic status; (4) Understand that discourses on violence against children and early childhood education related to the social, political, economic, cultural and educational context of the time. This documentary research has the corpus constituted by specific subjects of the phenomenon of violence against the child, in the Folha do Norte Journal, in the first decade of the twentieth century. The theoretical reference used as input for the analysis of the collected data is based on the theorems of Mikhail Bakhtin on discourse. From this work, we realized that the newspapers of the time built a discourse about the child and / or about violence and its relationship with the child. And that these senses are representative of the nationalist, hygienist and progress ideal that defended themselves at the time.
