Resumo(s)
O presente trabalho apresenta um olhar à acção de um professor primário,
que exerceu funções numa zona rural do interior durante a primeira metade do
século XX, obtido essencialmente a partir da análise e interpretação dos seus
escritos. Trata-se de um actor social que alargou o âmbito da sua acção a toda a
comunidade em que se inseriu e que foi, na maior parte do tempo,
simultaneamente, a sua terra natal. Além de professor, foi autor de várias obras
que perpetuaram a sua actividade profissional e de vários artigos publicados na
imprensa, nos quais se revelou um acérrimo defensor do progresso cultural e
económico das zonas do interior. Mas, este trabalho biográfico procura dar a
conhecer, ainda, a forma como uma personalidade específica, a de João Baptista
Vilares - professor e escritor - , se foi desdobrando em várias outras - de carácter
ficcional e que se foram estruturando nos seus trabalhos de índole literária - , as
quais tiveram papel preponderante no diagnóstico, questionamento e resolução de
aspectos da vida sócio-cultural do meio rural português das primeiras cinco
décadas de Novecentos.
A estrutura deste trabalho foi elaborada de modo a abordar as diversas
facetas da actividade desenvolvida pelo biografado e a entrelaçar o texto, a obra e
a vida desta figura inserida na ruralidade portuguesa e que atravessou a I
República e o Estado Novo. Assim, os capítulos estão organizados de forma a
apresentar uma reflexão à volta das principais posições defendidas por Baptista
Vilares. Os principais traços biográficos do professor constituem o capítulo inicial.
Aqui, para além de um quadro cronológico, é apresentada, também, uma pequena
incursão, organizada por grandes áreas, à vida e obra deste
professor/publicista/autarca/escritor. Os restantes capítulos contêm elementos
caracterizadores do pensamento pedagógico, político, económico e social do
biografado. Nestes, merece realce a preocupação com a regeneração social da
população do meio rural, o combate ao analfabetismo, a promoção da mudança de
hábitos de trabalho nas práticas agrícolas da região e uma análise à evolução do
seu pensamento político.
