Abstract

This research has as goal analysing the reconfiguration of the national identities in Brazil and in Paraguay mobilized by two important newspapers O Estado de São Paulo (Brazil) and La Tribuna (Paraguay), between 1963 and 1966. In this period, in an unilateral form by Brazil, a project of building a hydroelectric plant in the border between the two countries was launched later, Itaipu. Controversies about a frontier litigation in the region of the Sete Quedas Fall/Guairá Falls were recovered and rearticulated to the national projects of both countries. The newspapers were taken as source and object, from the accompaniment to the covering of the strife. It was seeked, therefore, to comprehend in what manner the periodic newspapers mobilized and reinforced identities, recovered images from Brazil and Paraguay and thus defended their own political projects.
