No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em História, Florianópolis, 2011A trajetória intelectual da funcionária pública e escritora Leonor Castellano (1899-1969) é o fio condutor deste trabalho, que procura investigar os espaços de atuação das intelectuais do sexo feminino em Curitiba (Paraná) entre as décadas de 20 e 60 do século XX. Os debates sobre os temas das identidades "brasileira" e "paranaense" são fios condutores deste trabalho e aparecem fortemente na atuação de Castellano como intelectual entre 1924 (ano em que publica seu primeiro artigo conhecido) e 1969 (ano em que encerra sua atuação). A atuação de Castellano nos círculos intelectuais curitibanos (como o Centro de Letras do Paraná e o Centro Paranaense Feminino de Cultura) é estudada de perto, bem como sua colaboração com publicações. Temas como o "feminismo", a puericultura, a ideia de identidade (nacional e estadual) e os papéis designados às mulheres são discutidos através dos textos de Castellano, sobretudo as homenagens publicadas por ela. Outras fontes utilizadas na dissertação são os relatórios e revistas publicadas pelos centros literários, além de livros de atas, de contabilidade e outros, os quais nos permitem compreender as diversas áreas de atuação de Castellano. Através da trajetória desta intelectual e de seu papel de liderança nos Centros literários de Curitiba, este trabalho procurou explorar também os espaços de atuação pública das mulheres letradas e de elite no Paraná no período estudado.The intellectual trajectory of public employee and writer Leonor Castellano (1899-1969) is the thread of this work, which aims to investigate the spaces of actuation of female intellectuals in Curitiba (Paraná) between the decades of 20 and 60 of the 20th Century. The discussions about the topics of "brazilian" and "paranaense" identities are threads of this work and appear strongly by the actions of Castellano as intellectual between 1924 (the year in which she published her first known article) and 1969 (the year she finishes her activities). The Castellano#s performance in intellectual curitibanos circles (such as the Center of Letters of Paraná and the Paranaense Female Culture Center) is studied closely, as well as its collaboration with publications. Themes such as "feminism", the child care, the idea of identity (national and state) and the roles assigned to women are discussed through the texts of Castellano, especially the tributes published by her. Other sources used in dissertation are the reports and journals published by literary centers, in addition to books of minutes, accounting and others, which allow us to understand the different areas of expertise in Castellano. Through the trajectory of this intellectual and of her leadership role in literary Centers of Curitiba, this study sought to explore also the spaces of public activity of literate and elite women in Paraná during the studied period
