Cultura Política – um discurso de Getúlio Vargas (1940-1942)

Abstract

This study aims to understand the discursive construction ofGetúlio Vargas (1882-1954), who governed Brazil in two different periods (1930-45; 1951-54). We will specifically analyze the period1940-42, which included the then president’s speech regarding the Second World War (1939-45) and its possible resonances in Brazil, given to the Brazilian military, and its publication in the journal Cultura Política (1941-1945). This, in turn, was a magazine linked to the Departamento de Imprensa e Propaganda (DIP), created in 1939 with the objective of advertising the government and its leader, as well as controlling the contents that would be broadcast in different media.
