Abstract

In this project, I propose an analysis of the historical process of elaborating the legislation for the countryside in Brazil between 1946 and 1961, having in the Câmara dos Deputados annals the privileged documentation for research. During this period, different proposals on the topic were presented to Parliament, and law project 1.837, from 1960, became the law No. 4.214, of March 1963, which created the Estatuto do Trabalhador Rural. I intend to investigate how these proposals took place, which federal deputies participated, which parties were they from and with whom they dialogued outside the Parliament. To intensify my knowledge about the political experience of these parliamentarians, I will research a historical-biographical dictionary, memory books and interviews. I conceive the Parliament as a place that reverberate society's demands and expectations and, in this sense, I believe that rural workers, farmers and the press were important social agents that impacted this debate. Thus, magazines from national farmers' representative bodies and newspapers of various political shades will also be used as sources. The objective is to propose a social history of legislation in which the law-making process is understood as a space for negotiations and conflicts between deputies that carried not only the political interests of their parties, but also, not without tension, the interests of social agents who were outside the Parliament (AU)
