Abstract

In Brazil the creation of Colleges of Philosophy during the first half of the 20th century marked a new moment in the institutional action of the discipline of geography, one that involved the universities and secondary schools. The promotion of science and the training of teachers does not exempt these activities from disinterested knowledge, but rather connects them to the construction of national ideology. That characteristic was observed in the analysis of documents related to the discipline of Geography of Brazil at the College of Philosophy of Minas Gerais. Its structure and content select elements of the national territory to construct a discourse forced on the modernization of the Brazilian state. Consequently, they are connected to ideology.
