The many Evas of a story: the production of a place from the publication of autobiographies in the Protestant religious field

Journal Title: Práxis Educativa - Year 2019, Vol 14, Issue 3

Abstract

This paper is an analysis of the autobiographical project of Eva Yarwood Mills (1903-1987) from the gender relations present in the works of this author. It searches to question which representations Eva Mills constructed of herself through the representations of other women and of the roles negotiated by the author-narrator-character in the protestant religious context. This research cutoff dialogues and contributes, starting from the Cultural History, with the fields of (Auto)biographical studies, History of Women, History of Religions and History of Education (Protestant education). This analysis worked with concepts such as representation, memory and identity, cultural translation and the civilizing process. It was found a process of identity construction of a teacher in close relation and negotiation with the demands of her group of belonging, both in the time of the memorized facts and in the time of the memorialistic writing.
