Abstract

This work analyses the concepts of authority and authoritarianism through autobiographical narratives made by teachers from basic education schools in Santa Maria – RS and, through social repre - sentations. This is a bibliographical research. We made use of theSocial Representations and also the Oral History. This article is di - vided into five sections. The first one approaches the Oral History as a possibility to tell the history of the contemporary world. The second one is a discussion on the Social Representations Theory as a decryption of everyday life. Maffesoli (1998) on the third section questions what would be better to represent or to present in theconstruction of reality. The fourth section is a reflection on the te - achers’ speeches and the studied bibliography. Finally, the last sec - tion brings up teachers speeches about the concepts of educators’ authority and authoritarianism.
