A “roda de Maceió” e o projeto regionalista: uma perspectiva etnográfica das disputas ocorridas no mundo do livro dos anos 1930

Abstract

This article examines disputes in the world of books in the thirties, from the “Maceió Group” perspective. The choice of this period is justified by the fact that it is the period of confrontation between the ideas launched by the so-called modernist movement and the regionalist project foreseen by Gilberto Freyre, both of them with a vision of a strictly nationalist aesthetic of thought and language. The effort of trying to understand the discussion from the point of view of “Maceió Group” occurs because their regionalist project imprints a narrative contrary to that of the Sao Paulo Group. The goal, then, is to analyze the process of building the grand regional narrative through the events and facts upon in which the “Maceió Group” were protagonists.
