nÃo hà === Pesquisa sobre a constituiÃÃo do campo de saber em alimentaÃÃo e nutriÃÃo, com enfoque no espaÃo formativo e nas prÃticas curriculares intervencionistas das Visitadoras de AlimentaÃÃo no cenÃrio polÃtico e institucional do SAPSâCE no perÃodo de 1944 a 1966. Para anÃlise da formaÃÃo dessas profissionais, tomouâse a experiÃncia da Escola de Visitadoras de AlimentaÃÃo Agnes June Leith â EVA, que funcionou no estado do Cearà neste perÃodo, com foco nas vivÃncias cotidianas e prÃticas curriculares do curso, centrando a investigaÃÃo nas aÃÃes de educaÃÃo alimentar junto à classe trabalhadora, escolares e populaÃÃo em geral. O estudo teve por objetivo principal reconstruir e investigar o espaÃo formativo e as prÃticas curriculares intervencionistas das Visitadoras de AlimentaÃÃo no cenÃrio polÃtico e institucional do SAPSâCE, no perÃodo de 1944 a 1966. A abordagem metodolÃgica foi baseada na Teoria da aÃÃo social, de Pierre Bourdieu, com destaque para as noÃÃes de campo e habitus, nos fundamentos da HistÃria Oral e da Teoria crÃtica de currÃculo, referencial que se completou com os conceitos de alimento, comida e prÃticas alimentares provenientes da Antropologia. As fontes utilizadas foram: relatos orais obtidos por meio de entrevistas com pessoas que fizeram parte da referida escola, como diretoras, professoras, alunas e funcionÃrias, e funcionÃrios do SAPS, instituiÃÃo à qual a EVA pertencia; jornais de grande circulaÃÃo da Ãpoca, cadernos de aula do curso de VisitaÃÃo Alimentar, anais do Congresso de Visitadoras de AlimentaÃÃo, livros, revistas, documentos oficiais e fotografias. Concluiâse que a Escola exerceu uma aÃÃo polÃticoâcultural no campo do saber em AlimentaÃÃo e NutriÃÃo no Cearà e no Brasil, contribuindo para a formaÃÃo de recursos humanos engajados na luta contra a fome, a desnutriÃÃo e a pobreza, e que as Visitadoras de AlimentaÃÃo executaram a funÃÃo de educadoras em alimentaÃÃo e difusoras dos princÃpios da alimentaÃÃo racional, contribuindo no processo de busca de representaÃÃo social desse saber. === A research on the constituent elements of food and nutrition expertise with its focus on both the formative space and the intervening curricular practices of the âVisitadoras de AlimentaÃÃoâ (Dietary Education Visitors) in the political and institutional scenario of âSAPSâ (Social Security Food Service) which operated in the State of Cearà from 1944 to 1966. For the analysis of the training of those professionals. âAgnes June Leithâ Dietary Education Visitors School â soâcalled âEVAâ â was selected; it operated in the State of Cearà from 1944 to 1966 focusing on daily experiences and curricular practices of the course, concentrating its investigation on the actions of dietary education amongst workingâclass members, students and the population as a whole. The study was aimed at rebuilding the educational space and investigate the curriculum practices of interventional feeding visits in the political and institutional SAPSâEC in this period. The methodological approach adopted was based on Pierre BourdieuÂs Social Action Theory with its emphasis both on the notions of field and habitus, as well as on the bases of Oral History and the Theory of Curricular Criticism, a landmark which was completed by the concepts of food, meal and eating practices originated from Anthropology. The sources used were the following oral reports obtained by way of interviews with people who had been part of the referred to school, such as principals, teachers, students and employees as well as âSAPSâ employees â the institution to which âEVAâ BELONGED; most popular newspapers at that time, exercise books of the course on Dietary Education Visitors, annals of Conferences on Dietary Education, books, magazines, officials documents and photographs. One can arrive at the conclusion that that School played a politicalâcultural role in the field of Food and Nutrition Education in the State of Cearà and in Brazil, contributing to the enhancement of human resources engaged in the struggle against hunger, malnutrition and poverty, and that the Dietary Education Visitors played a part as food educators and messengers of the principles of rational eating habits, contributing to the searching process for the social representation of such expertise.
