| Abstract (English): | The founding of the University of São Paulo in 1934 was due to a convergence of political and educational projects in a particularly complex context in the history of Brazil. On the one hand, there were several intellectuals who had proposed the reformulation of education in the country for the preceding decade; on the other hand, a political rupture in the Brazilian Republic caused the reorganization of power. The motto Scientia vinces—Through science you will win—synthesizes, at the same time, an aspiration for knowledge as an instrument of personal and social growth, as well as the desire to enable the triumph of political groups who had been militarily defeated. As a backdrop to this political scene, one can identify aspects of modernity that reached the country in the first decades of the twentieth century: mechanization of productive activities, industrial production, urbanization, and cultural manifestations.

| Abstract (Spanish): | La fundación de la Universidad de São Paulo, en 1934, fue resultado de la convergencia de proyectos políticos y educativos de diversos orígenes en un contexto particularmente complejo de la Historia de Brasil. Por un lado, hubo un acervo crítico de intelectuales que, desde la década anterior, proponían la reformulación de la educación en el país; por el otro, una ruptura política en la República brasileña provocó la reorganización del poder. El lema Scientia Vinces—A través de la ciencia vencerás— sintetiza, al mismo tiempo, una aspiración al conocimiento como instrumento de crecimiento personal y social y el deseo de hacer triunfar, a través de ese mismo conocimiento, a los grupos políticos recientemente derrotados militarmente. Como telón de fondo de este escenario político se pueden identificar aspectos de la modernidad que llegaron al país en las primeras décadas del siglo veinte: mecanización de las actividades productivas, producción industrial, urbanización, manifestaciones culturales.

| Abstract (French): | Les perspectives critiques sont récurrentes dans l’histoire de la recherche en éducation depuis les années 1960. Dans cet article, nous examinons ce que peuvent être les histoires critiques de l’éducation au XXIe siècle, alors que le scepticisme à l’égard des vérités acceptées est répandu et que l’analyse critique est devenue essentielle aux pratiques d’évaluation néolibérales. Cet article identifie quatre éléments clés d’une telle recherche – la critique, la vérité, la méthode et le public visé – et soutient que les histoires critiques actuelles doivent s’intéresser à ces éléments. En utilisant les perspectives des études autochtones, il propose des réflexions sur la manière dont de telles histoires pourraient être construites. Bien qu’il ne fournisse pas de réponses définitives, il souligne des considérations importantes pour la conception d’une recherche critique, notamment le type de récits produits, la position du chercheur, l’inconfort généré et la manière dont les publics potentiels sont impliqués. En conséquence, cet article pose la question de savoir si une recherche peut être véritablement critique si elle ne provoque pas d’inconfort chez le chercheur, ou ne provoque pas d’actions réparatrices ou transformatrices.
