Antônio Conselheiro e a imprensa carioca: uma análise das representações do fundador de Canudos nos jornais Gazeta de Notícias e O Apóstolo (1890-1899)

Abstract

In this dissertation, we analyze the representations of the religious Antônio Conselheiro and of Arraial de Canudos present in the pages of the Rio de Janeiro newspapers Gazeta de Notícias and O Apóstolo. First, we seek to think about the historical context of the last decade of the 19th century in Brazil, the period of transition from the monarchical regime to the republican regime, when the Canudos War took place. Secondly, we approach the newspaper Gazeta de Notícias and how the newspaper built a representation around Conselheiro and Canudos. Finally, we carried out the same operation with the newspaper O Apostolo, a religious publication.
