A Revolução Constitucionalista em São José do Rio Preto através dos jornais

Abstract

The present work is about a research done through the written press regarding the Constitutionalist Revolution in the region of São José do Rio Preto, taking as source the main periodic from the newspaper “A Notícia”. Inspired by the historiographical methodologies, derived from the Annales school, a pre-survey of the national historical context was done regarding the necessary conflicts for the start of the movement that would later become the Constitutionalist Revolution, as well as a survey of the regional context that allowed us to understand specific local matters. Posteriorly, through the analysis of the sources it was possible to accomplish a more thorough investigation regarding local matters and the changes influenced by the large-scale civil war. Lastly, the data about the local matters brought us to the conclusion regarding the degree of influence that certain regional institutions had in this historical moment, which was responsible for the changes in the brazilian public policies.
