RESUMO

This thesis examines the actions of the French-Dominican Louis-Joseph Lebret and the institution he founded in Brazil, the Sociedade para a Análise Gráfica e Mecanográfica Aplicada aos Complexos Sociais (SAGMACS), a Development research bureau that worked in urban planning in Brazil from 1947 until the 1960s. The thrust of this research is the Lebret\ s idea on the training of cadres for development (développeurs), which became the main theme of his engagement. For our analysis we identify some of the matrices of Lebret\ s thought, which were linked to sociological and religious dimensions that influenced his work in the country. We note the inclusion of Lebret in the French context before his arrival in Brazil and the reasons that led him to seek a new field of professional activity. During the period he worked in Brazil, Lebret published research manuals, taught courses, lectures and guided the work of SAGMACS imbued with the idea that developing countries needed a militant trained staff to act in favour of Development. Many Brazilian professionals formed by this idea attended the courses and were involved in the work of SAGMACS, a portion of them receiving specific training in Development at the Institut de Recherche et de Formation en vue du Développement Harmonisé (IRFED), created in 1958 by Lebret. Later, many of these professionals would work reflecting those ideas and the training received, whether in other groups of technical assistance, either in the state apparatus, in political office, or in Universities. We show that the experiences of Lebret in Brazil contributed to his performance in other Latin American countries, in other continents, and his legitimacy as a researcher in France. These experiences and exchanges with Brazilian professionals have contributed to the improvement of his concept of Development and maturation of his idea of creating a training institute for professional Development, IRFED.
