CULTURAL REPRESENTATIONS IN THE WORK CAATINGAS E CHAPADÕES, BY FRANCISCO DE ASSIS IGLÉSIAS (1912-1919)

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Every discourse is a manifestation of power, no discourse is neutral and no author is a blank page, representing the world according to his social place. It is in this scenario of representations and writings about oneself and the other that the present research aims to work with the work Caatingas and Chapadões written by Francisco de Assis Iglésias, with the spatial and temporal cut of the present article set in the early years of the twentieth century.  while the South of the country, favored by development and economic conditions, began to look at this region with the aim of mapping it and integrating it into the national identity.
