ABSTRACT

This work aims to investigate aspects of the memory of the abolition of slavery as it was

treated by the press of Santa Catarina, the Historical and Geographical Institute of Santa

Catarina (IHGSC) and the Historical and Geographical Institute of Brazil (IHGB) on the

occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of that date, celebrated in 1938. Taking into account the

profound influence of the slave past in developing the economy and society of Brazil, the

importance that discussions about race and nationality had played in the intellectual

environment of Brazil along the República Velha and the intense upheavals that altered the

landscape of Brazilian politics in the 1930s, the date of the fiftieth anniversary proved to be a

particularly auspicious occasion for reflection on memory and the national past. By reading

reviews and news stories published by newspapers of Santa Catarina, as well as speeches at

formal sittings in the Institutes, it will be attempted to follow the lines of thought that guided

the interpretations and representations made in that year of 1938 regarding the slavery in

Brazil and the emancipationist process during the second half of the nineteenth century,

culminating with the signing of the law of May 13

, 1888. By crossing these sources with

studies focused on analyzing the features of the Brazilian abolitionism and its development

during the early years of the republic, the objective is to examine how the memory of a

troubled period in which legal slavery in Brazil was extinguished, had been evolving and

being re-signified throughout the republican period, until the years of Vargas and the Estado

Novo in 1938.
