A paulista feeling review: a few reflections over a policital discours

Abstract

A critical re-examination of the 1932 armed insurrection against Getulio Vargas Provisory Government poses some challenging questions to researchers. Maybe the most critical one is the perception of the motives and forces which move people to act politically in opposition or defense of changes of present relations. To ellaborate them, one starts with the reconstruction of the political message of the paulista parties, at a time when social communication was done basically through progessional associations and the press. This article attempts to stablish, as preliminary step to identify some characteristics of the "ser  paulista", the condensation of the state symbolic identity and the core of the 1932 message as presented in the works of its most importan ideologists.
