This work presents an understanding of reading and writing practices developed by Beatriz Góis Dantas, evidencing their insertion in different areas of performance, taking as a time frame the period between 1941 and 2013. The initial frame corresponds to her year of birth, in due to the importance of a contextualization that delimits the contours of the family origin in the search for traces of reading and writing. The final milestone was defined as Beatriz's insertion in the Lagartense Academy of Letters (ALL), considering that her written production was, to a certain extent, although not exclusively, driving the indication to be part of that sodalice. This is a historical research that uses the methodological procedures of documentary research and Oral History, especially life history and thematic history, using semi-structured interviews as instruments. The theoretical contribution that provides subsidies to this study is based mainly on the intellectual tripod of the historian Roger Chartier (1990, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2011, 2014) practices, appropriation and representations, dialoguing with the conceptions of Maurice Halbwachs (1990) about memory and Jean-François Sirinelli (2010) about intellectuals. In addition to the narratives collected through interviews with the intellectual, as well as with people around her or, to some extent, related to research, documentary sources were used, such as minutes of meetings, institutional dossiers, class diaries, publications in newspapers and magazines, photographs, prints produced by the intellectual, photographs, located in the archives of the Historical and Geographic Institute of Sergipe; in the Central and Sectorial Archives of the Federal University of Sergipe; in the collections of the Central Library and the Library of the Laranjeiras Campus of the Federal University of Sergipe, in the Epifânio Dória Library, in addition to the collection of the private library of the studied intellectual. Beatriz Góis Dantas lived, since childhood, in an environment favorable to the development of reading and learning. The reading habits demonstrated by its parent, providing a circulation of printed material, string books and almanacs, favored the discovery of reading as a pleasant and useful practice. The attachment to books and the taste for reading led to the constitution of a library that was being assembled with books and printed matter in general, obtained by shopping in bookstores, in local bookstores and booksellers and other regions of the country, through friends, through catalogs, showing different ways of acquiring books in Brazil. Felte Bezerra and Josefina Leite were the names that most stood out as having an important contribution to Beatriz's intellectual training. Despite the absence of a teacher / student relationship, Felte Bezerra left an erudite legacy that was marked, above all, by the relationship with Anthropology and written work. Josefina Leite is remembered as responsible for entering the research, for the example of respect for differences and openness to dialogue. Beatriz Góis Dantas' academic production is composed of books written in partnership and individually, book chapters, articles published in newspapers and magazines, within an interdisciplinary thematic repertoire, having as her field of study, her homeland, Sergipe. The book Nago grandma and white papa: uses and abuses of Africa in Brazil, published in 1988, as a result of her master's dissertation, was responsible for the most accentuated critical fortune among the titles of the anthropologist's work. In addition to this thematic diversity, the memorialist potential of the intellectual was evidenced in the production of ordinary writings, without pretending to be scientific, fixing the family memory, characterizing an autobiographical writing.
