As ideias nativistas da ação integralista brasileira em Manaus (1932-1937)

Abstract

The present research proposes to analyze the authoritarian thinking that is a registered trademark in the inter-war period, which extends from the end of the first world war until the beginning of the second world war, a period that in all of Europe there is a radicalization, both from the right and on the left, fascism on the one hand and communism on the other, all putting the crisis experienced by liberal democracy as an option. Our goal is to follow the integralist thinking that was involved in the manauara press, the strategies used by the green shirts to propagate their doctrine and try to understand how the local society absorbed the ideology of Sigma, in addition to understanding how this production of the integralist ideology occurred. The investigation still runs through the logic of understanding integralist symbols as well as the insertion of these elements and their instruments in the networks of cultural, social and political relations of Amazonian society in the time frame of 1932-1937. Such monitoring is done with the support of the New Political History, passing in the field of History seen from below and in Regional History, both fields are beginning to be discussed by the School of the Annales, adding strength to the area of Political Science, Sociology and Geopolitics. It is important to highlight that the present research goes through other methodological procedures, such as readings on the historiography about the Brazilian Integralist Action, the primary sources analyzed in public files in person and online, as well as the bibliographic analyzes. In Brazil, this authoritarian thinking proliferated between the 30s and 40s, and since the Revolution of 1930 it gained more strength, this thought, having its roots in Italian fascism and German National Socialism. Moment when political-ideological confrontations started to happen almost exclusively through mass propaganda devices and street conflicts. As the first mass movement structured nationally in the country to have great social expression, Brazilian Integralist Action (BIA) used a network of newspapers and magazines in order to expand its political ideology, attract new followers and indoctrinate militants.
