RESUMO

In the transition of slave labor to free work in Brazil, people from Triângulo Mineiro and Alto Paranaíba region, situated in the western Minas Gerais state, experimented in a peculiar way the changes which were propelled by Modernization Projects and Social Reform. Both characterized the Brazilian Society in the end of 19th century and the beginning of 20th century. In this direction, we tried to document through the history to start from these regions, the processes of establishment of social imaginary about work, focalizing particularly the representations and practices which led, in that moment, the invention of National Worker. In fact through the undertaken research we questioned the multiple speeches - journalistic, medical, religious, historical representation, and memories, among others, the investment done in the construction and projection of positive directions to the images of the work and of the worker. We realized, in this discursive project one of the essential condition for the institution of an orderly, progressive and civilized society. In this way, the forms of non work idleness, vagrancy were condemned because of being considered practices which allow men and women to deviate themselves from their traced mission like primordial: to work. The whole of society will be forced, not without resistance, on act material and symbolically for conformation of civilized society
