RESUMO

Against the background of the period of the late nineteenth century until the first two decades of the twentieth century and thematic construction of Brazilian national identity, this study aimed at examining how the popular culture collected in the form of songs, stories , proverbs and child´s play was treated by folk and professor of mineira Alexina Magalhães Pinto (1870-1921), considered a pioneer in the application of oral literature and other forms of popular culture on teaching. The intention to study the folklore and the works Alexina left in the field of folklore was seen, how the folk posed herself as intermediary in relation to popular practice, and from this point analyze the speech that she builds about these practices and these experiences. In examining how the folk Alexina handled popular culture, "correcting" the speech of the people, or the metric of the songs, highlighting the moral aspects of proverbs, creating and recreating popular stories, sweetened its end, so making use of this material to educate physically, morally and intellectually children, we can notice how these "practices" used by her were according to a civilizing mission that the literate elite of the time attributed to themselves.Thus, production of folk literature and history about her, helps to reveal and / or (re) build the conflicts, tensions and projects that historical juncture marked by concern with the construction of a Brazilian national identity.
