Abstract

This dissertation closes the activities performed in the History Post Graduation Program at the Federal University of Santa Maria, with the assistance of the scholarship CAPES / DS. The subject of research related class cultures between anarchists and socialists in the city of Porto Alegre in the early twentieth century. This research was centered in the "History, Power and Culture", thus the work addressed the existing power relations in the labor movement with society and culture. The line of research "Culture, Migration and Work" contributed to the discussion on the transformation of an associative culture caused by anarchists and socialists in an environment of continuous migrations. The main objective was to understand the class cultures as a field of discussion which articulated the actions of those activists in the political and cultural fields for the construction of a social revolution. For this research, the main sources used were the papers Struggle, anarchist nature and Democracy, the socialist trend. These documents were found in the Research Center for History at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (NPH - UFRGS), microfilmed and in great condition. The analysis of the sources indicated the ways, strategies and actions that these groups kept in Porto Alegre workers' societies. They helped to identify the intellectual and literary productions that diffused ideology, complaints and worker-reader distraction. Besides working with sources, a thorough investigation was carried out in the bibliography of studies on the labor movement in the First Republic of Brazil. These discussions led to the understanding about the association and cultural manifestations of the class, the spatial area and limited time. The objectives were to verify the events, publications in the newspapers and the effect of these phenomena among those workers. The rationale for this research took place from the need for discussion about the organizations and manifestations of class at a time that is speculated invalidity of these tools.
