Revolução e realidade social na imprensa trotskista brasileira dos anos 1930

Abstract

The historiography of Communist dissidents of the Communist Party of Brazil is linked mostly to making studies on the trajectory of their political organizations aligned to the International Left Opposition, the Internationalist Communist League (odd period in the Communist International) and the Fourth International (period which assumes decisively the party way). To a lesser extent, it focused on specific moments of life and political criticism of those aligned to Leon Trotsky (the "1930 Revolution", the antifascist struggle and uprisings of 1935). The initiative to minimally modify "the current state of things" led to questioning of his political press and particularly its itinerary in the 1930s. In a way, the viewing of little aspects present in the current historiography enabled recounting a live track (despite the time limit on the amount of available sources and information) from two issues we define as "revolution and social reality". The breadth and general condition of these two axes allowed making contact with the Trotskyist newspapers and newsletters (available digitally by the Documentation Centre of the Movement Worker Mario Pedrosa belonging to the Documentation Centre and Memory from Universidade Estadual Paulista) and specifying them. Belonging to the line of research entitled "Migration and Labour , this dissertation defined the focus of two consecutive movements for the established axis. While the former sought to identify the key themes of the international Trotskyist revolution passed by the Brazilian Trotskyist press (the Soviet Union , the Communist International , War and Fascism) and highlight the theoretical and political content raised by these from the movement flow of ideas from other "stops" while the second sought to reflect on the world of work linked to social reality, particularly on capitalist development in Brazil, the trade union and labor laws erected and political dynamics of the working class in the 1930s . In short, I hope that this work will contribute to enrich the theme of Brazilian Trotskyists in the 1930s from redirecting the form of a dialogue of the historian with its object and source of research.
