El centenario de la Carta General de 1922: disputas cartográficas en la república brasileña

disputas limítrofes entre Minas Gerais y Goiás en la revista A Informação Goyana (1922-1924)

Abstract

Produced to be exhibited on the Centenary of Independence, the National Map of Brazil to the Millionth was an instrument for the dissemination and propaganda of an idea of a nation, its riches, potentialities and the republican success in making it cohesive and integrated. In historiography, the study of interstate boundaries is still scarce. Therefore, our effort is to analyze this issue as one of the aspects of the publication of the National Map and to enrich the perception of its circulation. From the discussion raised by the magazine A Informação Goyana related to the limits between Goiás and Minas Gerais present in the Charter, we seek to present greater density in the understanding of the federalism instituted by the Brazilian Republic and the constant tensions between local and central powers, obstacles to the pretensions of harmony and strengthening of federal power intended in the cartographic project.
