Abstract: There is a signifi cant number of female teachers compared to the number of male teachersin elementary schools in Paraná. It is also observed a predominance of feminine representation of the
profession in the covers of Nova Escola Magazine. This paper discusses the numerous discourses related
to the representation of the teaching profession. The corpus analyzed includes magazine covers that
show images and illustrations demonstrating that the teaching profession is predominantly feminine.
The article also presents discourses and representations of the feminine imaginary that corroborate the
production and reproduction of feminine stereotypes. The article intends to describe which forms of
femininity are reinforced, problematized and imagined in the cultural construction. The representations
that reinforce and contribute to the maintenance of a feminine identity in teaching, especially in the
early years of schooling, are analyzed. The article also tries to attribute new forms of understanding
the imagines present in the written media.
Keywords: Discourse. Media. Feminine and representation.
