Debates sobre o ensino nas academias militares e sua articulação no campo científico brasileiro

Focusing on our object of study, which is the officers’ training at the Brazilian Air Force (FAB), we have initially resorted to several sources of data to gather researches addressing military education in Brazil. In this process, the small number of productions found in the educational field has motivated the researcher to an exercise of reflecting on the perceived gap in the literature and its articulation with the considerations of Pierre Bourdieu’s theory on the scientific field. Thus, the purpose of this study is, in summary, to present the way in which military affairs are being established in the field of research on education, elucidating historical aspects of this movement. To reach the objective proposed, in the methodology adopted, bibliographical and Internet researches were used, specifically in books, articles, dissertations and theses by authors who approach the process of social practice development in the military field in Brazil, which allowed us to describe, analyze and discuss how the research in the military field has been carried out in our country. The obtained result has shown that the experience of dictatorship and the absence of external threats in our territory have left the topic out of discussions for a long period. However, in circumstances of current challenges in the 21st century and the end of the dictatorship, military studies in Brazil have been gradually resumed
