The School of Agriculture and
Veterinary Science (ESAV) was inaugurated
in 1926 and, in 1969, federalized as Federal
University of Viçosa (UFV). Between 1920
and 1940, the institution became a
hegemonically male study site, nurtured in
an institutional ethos of discipline,
responsibility, and scientific rationality,
termed the "Esavian spirit." This "spirit"
aimed at a responsible and capable student
body in the agrarian sciences. One of the
vehicles to spread the spirit was the student
newspaper "O Bonde", which in 1945 and
1963 gave voice to the students of that
student campus. In order to analyze the
articles published in those journals, we
observed that "O Bonde" functioned as a
policing device for attitudes that deviated
from those espoused by the "Esavian spirit".
And by denouncing strange movements
among students, "O Bonde" became a
frontier field of different regimes of
subjectivation, especially with regard to the
production of masculinities among the
students
