| Abstract | |
José Veríssimo was a key figure in the Paraense and Brazilian intellectual field, highlighting himself as a social thinker of history, culture, anthropology, literature and education. The objective is to investigate the intellectual becoming of José Veríssimo through literary, political and educational experiences, networks of sociability and circulation in international events, which enabled the recognition and authorization of his social and educational thinking about society and Amazonian culture; that is to say, to consider these dimensions of becoming a place of production that constituted the Amazonian intellectual. The research selects in the vast production of the intellectual paraense, the works and the action in periodicals (newspapers and magazines); participation in international academic events; as professor and director of the American College (1884-1890); and in the Board of Public Instruction (18891890), during the period in which he lived in Pará (1877-1891). This clipping is justified by the bibliographic silence surrounding the historical, ethnographic and educational works of José Veríssimo produced in Pará, which established the distinction between the provincial phase (works produced in Pará) and national phase (works produced in Rio de Janeiro). For the works written in Rio de Janeiro was recognized as a \"mature\" intellectual, as a critic and historian of literature, obscuring ethnographer, anthropologist and educator of the Amazonian reality. The process of modernization of the Amazon in the nineteenth century occurred through national integration and an international insertion. The opening of the Amazon River to the navigation was one of the measures of integration of the Extreme North of the Empire to the whole of the nation, aiming at the guarantee of its territorial and fluvial integrity. It is in this context that José Veríssimo produced his historical-ethnographic and educational studies based on the postulates of scientific politics and the proposition of a laic and federative civilization according to the contestatory and reformist canons of the Generation 1870. The periodic experience in the Amazon Magazine constituted a network of sociability with Franklin Távora, in the Revista Brazileira, and Vicente and Ernesto Quesada, in the New Magazine of Buenos Aires, and the sharing of an editorial project that aimed at the cultural integration and professionalization of the Latin American writer. Participation in the International Literary Congress (1881), in Lisbon, acted the literary knowledge of José Veríssimo in defense of Brazilian writers against the charge of literary piracy (non-payment of copyright). At the Congress of Anthropology and Prehistoric Archeology (1889) in Paris, Verissimo presented a work on the existence of an ancient indigenous civilization in the Amazon, socializing his research on archeology and Amazonian anthropology. The educational experience occurred in two movements. From the diffusion / propaganda of modern education in the Society of Paraense Promoting Instruction (1883-1884) to educational practice in the American College (1884-1890). From theorizing about the educational practice in National Education (1890) to his transformation into public policy in the management as director of Public Instruction in the Republican Provisional Government (1889-1890). These were the places of becoming the Amazonian intellectual of José Veríssimo in Pará. (AU) | |
