História do Amazonas: o significado, as filiações intelectuais e o impacto do mundo intelectual dos anos de 1930 na obra inaugural do historiador Arthur Cézar Ferreira Reis

Abstract

With the turn of the 19th century to the 20th century, a lot changed, especially in historiography. With the intention of establishing a national identity, the state invested heavily in influencing the intellectual production of that century. In the Amazonian context, the crisis of the Amazonian oligarchies due to the collapse of the gum economy led to the need to also establish a regional identity, especially with the influence of the intellectuals of the period. With an emphasis on Ferreira Reis, the article in question proposes to identify some discursive pillars and matrices that may have influenced the initial ideas of the Amazonian intellectual in the writing of his first book, History of Amazonas (1931).
