A negação do outro: o antissemitismo nas publicações da ação integralista brasileira (1932-1937)

Abstract

The present research it consists in the analysis of antisemitism produced by Integralist Action speeches, during the period of the Era Vargas in connection with its representations of brazilianness. In this sense, the investigation privileges declarations and speeches issued by the aforementioned political movement within the scope of the press, main vehicle for disseminating integralist doctrine. For this purpose, the qualitative methodology is used in the analysis of both documentary sources and historiographical references. The interpretation of interviewed intentionality in integralist leaders' speeches, especially those of Gustavo Barroso, that is, to identify the Jewish people as an enemy of the brazilian nationality through an ideology of hate, leads to the conclusion that antisemitism propagated by Ação Integralista acted as a control device for the desired constitution of national culture.
