A Revista de História Regional define-se como espaço de divulgação de trabalhos que tenham enquadramento teórico e metodológico dentro do campo de pesquisa em História e Região. Articulada ao debate epistemológico na história e nas ciências sociais, a revista tem por objetivo discutir a historicidade das práticas sociais e culturais, das construções discursivas e da produção de sentidos que, no tempo e no espaço, resultam em distintos processos de regionalizações. Diferentemente de uma abordagem tradicional, que a caracterizava como uma porção da superfície terrestre possuidora de determinadas características homogêneas e limites geográficos e/ou políticos rígidos, a noção de “região” é, atualmente, concebida como um artefato sociocultural mutante, uma produção de diferentes grupos, classes e culturas que a constroem mediante determinadas vivências e representações. Neste sentido, uma região é tanto um espaço físico, ambiental e material quanto um espaço imaginário, simbólico e ideológico. E uma dimensão é inseparável da outra. Considerando tal multiplicidade, definir a região implica estabelecer delimitações espaço-temporais para uma pesquisa. Ao adotar uma perspectiva de escala, implícita ou explicitamente, define-se o que é significativo no fenômeno, ocultando ou dando visibilidade a determinados aspectos da realidade. No jogo de escalas de observação, mudam as variáveis de análise e a irredutível complexidade do fenômeno histórico se impõe, o que exige dos pesquisadores não apenas a formulação de novas construções teóricas, metodológicas e historiográficas como também novas sensibilidades para a compreensão daquilo que chamamos de história regional.

Oligarquia, disputas internas e eleições municipais: a competição entre situacionistas em Paranaguá (Paraná, 1908-1928)
Neste artigo é desenvolvido um estudo sobre os resultados de seis eleições para os cargos de vereador e juiz distrital do município paranaense de Paranaguá, entre os anos de 1908 e 1928. A finalidade deste trabalho consiste em avançar no entendimento das formas de competição eleitoral nas cidades brasileiras no contexto da Primeira República. Nesse âmbito, a presente análise sustenta três argumentos. Primeiro, demonstra-se que, nas décadas de 1900 e 1910, os partidos de oposição não disputaram cargos na administração municipal de Paranaguá. Contudo, havia competição eleitoral, a qual era travada entre candidatos pertencentes ao grupo governista. Segundo, cabe evidenciar que a dinâmica política dessa cidade possuía um aspecto rotineiro, visto que era muito estável o predomínio dos postulantes que pertenciam às chapas oficiais da agremiação situacionista. Em terceiro lugar, destaca-se que, no início dos anos 1920, a participação de um partido oposicionista nas eleições municipais não reduziu a força política dos situacionistas. Essa participação não estimulou a consolidação de um grupo permanentemente organizado para combater os governistas naquela cidade.

Empresarios españoles en el desarrollo minero del Oriente de Cuba (1880-1933)
The economic integration of Spanish immigrants into the Oriente province represents a phenomenon of notable complexity, particularly visible in the mining sector. Far from being limited to a marginal role, these actors, during the period from 1880 to 1933, developed business strategies that enabled them not only to integrate into but also to lead the exploitation of the region's mineral resources. This paper aims to identify the tactics employed by Hispanic immigrants to penetrate the economic framework of the regional mining industry. The analysis of available records from mining claims, notarial protocols, and mercantile society registries from the Historical Archive of Santiago de Cuba and the Historical Archive of Holguín reveals three main, intertwined mechanisms that explain their success: productive diversification, the formation of strategic alliances, and the intensive use of legal instruments such as power of attorney. The development of these sophisticated strategies was a response to a high-risk environment that rewarded prudence, diversification, and partnership. The article argues that these practices were not merely methods for maximizing profits, but essential safeguarding mechanisms that allowed a segment of the Spanish community to prosper and transform mineral wealth into a fundamental pillar for regional economic development during this period.

A Sociedade Paraense de Defesa dos Direitos Humanos e o Serviço Nacional de Informações: vigilância e a construção do inimigo interno durante a Ditadura Militar brasileira
Abstract: The article analyzes the systematic surveillance imposed on the Sociedade Paraense de Defesa dos Direitos Humanos (SDDH) by the Serviço Nacional de Informações (SNI) during the Military Dictatorship (1964–1985). Founded in Belém, Pará, in August 1977, the SDDH was motivated by the defense of squatters involved in the Fazenda Capaz conflict. The entity used its mouthpiece, the newspaper Resistência, to denounce state violence and the capitalist and authoritarian logic governing the occupation of the Amazon. Its “Carta de Princípios” (Charter of Principles) listed core objectives such as the struggle for housing, land access, and democratic guarantees. The SNI documentation, consulted after the archives were released, shows that the SDDH was quickly framed within the logic of the “internal enemy”. State agents associated the fight for rights with “subversion,” “disorder,” and an “anti-revolutionary spirit”, labeling the entity’s actions, such as raising social justice issues, as “ferment for the class struggle”. The monitoring was sophisticated, with the first systematic SNI record dating to September 1977, just weeks after the SDDH’s founding. Detailed reports described meetings, action plans, and member profiles, such as President Paulo Fonteles. Fonteles' case illustrates the clash of narratives: while official documents branded him as an "element with subversive background", Resistência published his testimony of torture and systematic violence, emphasizing that repression persisted in the Amazon even during the regime’s announced “opening”.

The intrinsic relationship between the countryside and the city is redefined by territorial transformations occurring globally, especially since the late 20th century. The boundaries between these components have become blurred, resulting in spaces that do not belong to either category. In this context, history plays a key role in understanding the current challenges between urban and rural areas, particularly in geographic areas that are strongly influenced by processes belonging to both realities. This article takes the Metropolitan Region of Rosario in Argentina as a case study. This region has been a significant global agro-exporting hub since its origins and continues to play this role today, while also being subject to various urbanization processes. Through a multi-scalar approach, the article presents a descriptive-exploratory historical account of the region's transformation, aiming to interpret the relationship between the countryside and the city from the origins of the formation of the diverse localities that comprise the region. These localities are mainly linked to agricultural, and livestock uses, articulated with the railway infrastructure process, around which the first urban fabrics of each town developed. The article reflects on the changes over time, culminating in an analysis of contemporary conflicts between these two modes of territorial appropriation.

“Toda a terra treme nas vozes deste povo”: as lutas dos trabalhadores rurais e agricultores no Norte de Portugal (1974-1982)
Over the past decades, academic and public discourse on the Carnation Revolution and the democratic transition has tended to limit rural social movements to southern Portugal. However, historical evidence reveals a significant number of actions and struggles led by farmers and agricultural producers in the municipalities of Braga, Bragança, Porto, Viana do Castelo, and Vila Real. This article offers an approach focused on analysing these movements in northern Portugal, contributing to a broader understanding of rural mobilisation after April 25th, 1974. It argues that, within a rural society undergoing political transition, these movements embodied early forms of participatory society, spaces of political learning, and mechanisms for claiming social and economic rights. By foregrounding the territorial diversity of rural activism, this study thus highlights and critically reassesses prevailing geographies of mobilisation and repositions northern rural classes as key agents in Portugal’s democratisation.

A diversidade das migrações contemporâneas no Brasil através das memórias de migrantes (Sapiranga, Rio Grande do Sul)
O artigo analisa as migrações contemporâneas no Brasil, com foco no município de Sapiranga (RS), destacando a diversidade de trajetórias e a importância da memória dos migrantes como fonte de pesquisa. O estudo aborda o fenômeno migratório no contexto da globalização, caracterizado por fluxos internacionais motivados por fatores econômicos, políticos, sociais e ambientais. A metodologia empregada é a história oral, que permite registrar narrativas individuais e coletivas, valorizando experiências de grupos historicamente invisibilizados, como afrodescendentes, haitianos, venezuelanos, senegaleses e outros. O trabalho inclui entrevistas realizadas no Museu Municipal Adolfo Evaldo Lindenmeyer em 2023, que revelam aspectos do cotidiano, da inserção econômica, das práticas culturais e religiosas dos migrantes, bem como desafios enfrentados, como precarização do trabalho, burocracia documental e xenofobia. Os resultados evidenciam que os migrantes contribuem para a diversidade cultural e para o desenvolvimento socioeconômico local, ainda que enfrentem obstáculos de integração e reconhecimento. Conclui-se que a valorização das memórias migrantes é fundamental para uma história mais plural, democrática e inclusiva, reafirmando Sapiranga como um espaço de acolhida e de múltiplas identidades.

Mundo rural, vidas diversas: experiências, trabalho e cultura
Throughout this presentation, we briefly discuss the studies that comprise the dossier "Rural World, Diverse Lives: Experiences, Work, and Culture." This dossier brings together studies that address the Brazilian rural world from multiple dimensions: historical, social, political, and cultural. The articles presented here are situated between the colonial period and the 21st century and analyze themes such as land conflicts, migration, labor, political repression, monocultures, territorialities, and cosmologies. From a historical perspective, in dialogue with sociology, anthropology, and geography, the texts highlight the complexity of rural experiences and the protagonism of subjects often rendered invisible by traditional historiography. The articles in the dossier draw on diverse sources such as official documents, interviews, oral histories, ethnographic accounts, and others, proposing new ways of interpreting the rural world not only as a productive space, but also as a territory of disputes, resistance, knowledge, and meaning.

Os viajantes e a escrita da economia animal no Brasil (Século XIX)
The article analyzes the importance of the so-called “four-legged economy” in the territorial integration and material life of Brazil from the colonial period to the Empire, highlighting the centrality of pack animals—mules, oxen, and horses—in the circulation of people, goods, and wealth. Based on the accounts of foreign travelers such as Langsdorff, Luccock, Saint-Hilaire, Spix and Martius, Henderson, Isabelle, and Dreys, it examines the conditions of muleteer routes, the dynamics of the Sorocaba fairs, the landholding and livestock structures of Rio Grande de São Pedro, as well as the supply of the mining regions and the Court in Rio de Janeiro. The study demonstrates how muleteering structured trade networks, consolidated routes, and fostered the emergence of towns and cities, functioning as a link between different regional economies. At the same time, it highlights the persistence of animal dependence, revealing the long duration of this system. The travelers’ diaries, though permeated by Eurocentric perspectives, constitute essential primary sources for understanding the internal circulation of animals, their economic and social implications, and the process of integrating the pastoral South into the rest of the Brazilian territory.

O Kerbfest como patrimônio teuto-brasileiro: Estudo de caso do município de Seara/SC (1993-2005)
This article analyses Kerbfest, a celebration that takes place in the municipality of Seara in the western region of Santa Catarina, Brazil. This party started in Seara in 1993 and continues to the present. It is organised by the German-Brazilian group together with the Evangelical Church of the Lutheran Confession in Brazil. The time frame analysed was 1993 to 2005 and the sources observed were meeting minutes, audiovisual recordings, photographs, newspapers, and interviews. Analysing the sources allowed us to see that Kerbfest is a festivity built in Brazil and not a Germanic heritage brought by immigrants. The festival has representations of a collectivity, portraying not just the municipality of Seara, but various localities that went through the processes of German immigration that wanted to build bonds of belonging and identity.

A Companhia Ferro Carril de Cachamby: redes de sociabilidades locais e seus múltiplos interesses no desenvolvimento da freguesia do Engenho Novo (1878-1890)
Recortado entre os anos de 1878 e 1890, o nosso artigo discute os processos de concepção, montagem e liquidação da Companhia Ferro Carril de Cachamby. A existência do empreendimento dialoga com o surgimento e o desenvolvimento da freguesia urbana do Engenho Novo, localizada na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. No período em quadro, a capital do país conheceu expressivo crescimento demográfico e consequente pressão por moradia, trabalho e serviços. Entre estes últimos, transportes. Para realizar a pesquisa, compulsamos fontes relativas ao imposto predial, ao registro de firmas na Junta Comercial e à fiscalização dos bondes, mais jornais, legislação e periódicos diversos. Por meio delas, demonstramos que moradores, proprietários e negociantes do Engenho Novo foram protagonistas no corpo societário daquela empresa. Muitos deles eram homens letrados, capitalizados e ativos nos espaços de sociabilidades da referida freguesia. Eles apostaram no desenvolvimento da região por meio dos trilhos de ferro.

Cem Anos de Caruaru: Música, Memória e Representações Culturais
Este artigo explora a celebração do centenário de Caruaru, ocorrido em 1957, e o impacto dessa comemoração na construção da identidade cultural da cidade. Ao longo do texto, discutimos o papel das instituições locais, da imprensa e de intelectuais nacionais, como Jorge Amado, nas festividades. Também abordamos a importância das músicas produzidas em homenagem à cidade, com destaque para as composições de Luiz Gonzaga e Onildo Almeida, que consolidaram a imagem de Caruaru como um centro cultural do Nordeste. As representações culturais e a integração entre o evento e a Feira de Caruaru reforçam o papel da música e da cultura popular na criação de uma memória coletiva da cidade. A metodologia baseou-se em uma pesquisa documental e teve como pressupostos teóricos autores da História Cultural. Esperamos contribuir com os debates sobre a história regional, particularmente da cidade de Caruaru, em meados do século XX.

O papel das escolas do campo brasileiras na superação da colonialidade do conhecimento
The article addresses the role played by rural schools and Brazilian peasant social movements in confronting the coloniality of knowledge. The importance of this discussion lies in the global environmental, social, and food crisis and how coloniality contributes to the worsening of this situation. The research question is: How do rural schools in Brazil contribute to resisting the coloniality of knowledge and valuing local knowledge, especially in the food and educational practices of rural communities? The central objective of the study is to discuss the role of rural schools in resisting the coloniality of knowledge in the Global South. To this end, we propose an exploratory methodology using bibliographic resources. It was concluded that Brazilian rural schools can contribute to resisting the coloniality of knowledge and valuing local knowledge in the face of contemporary reality through a liberating and decolonial education that breaks with hegemonic forms of land exploitation and promotes a healthier and more environmentally viable relationship in food production and consumption.

Panorama do trabalho rural na cafeicultura de montanha
The article configures rural work in the panorama of coffee agribusiness in the south of Minas Gerais. Mountain coffee farming accounts for more than 32% of national Arabica coffee production and presents a production dynamic strongly linked to the interests of the international market. Considering the topographic obstacles to mechanization, the high density of work stands out, especially in the harvesting operation, with regimentation, in large-scale and employer-based coffee farming, with a large contingent of temporary workers, the pickers. In the field of labor relations, informality, precariousness, itinerancy, intermittency and vulnerability predominate, with repeated accusations and evidence of work relations analogous to slavery. Based on specific and regional bibliography, the text presents three sections, in addition to the introduction and conclusion: firstly, it presents explanatory information on the spatialization of coffee production and the characterization of the productive zone in the South of Minas Gerais; Next, it focuses on the configuration of rural work in local coffee farming and; subsequently, it pays attention to the occurrence of work similar to slavery and recurrence to migrant workers.

The daily lives of rural workers after wage labor in oil palm cultivation
The objective of this article is to analyze the trajectory of rural workers throughout their daily lives after wage labor in oil palm farming. To this end, we focused on their interactions within their families and communities. The research was conducted through a case study in the rural village of Belenzinho in the municipality of Acará, in northeastern Pará, between 2021 and 2023. We focused on direct observation, recording informal conversations, and interviews using semi-structured questionnaires with 18 workers who were experiencing their post-work as wage laborers in oil palm farming. We based our research on the concepts of daily life and rural work. The main conclusions show that the moments lived in the community and family are intensified after they have worked as wage laborers in oil palm farming. The workers assume and resume their work as family farmers and combine the knowledge acquired in oil palm farming as a way to remain in their place of origin and earn potential financial returns.

Um estudo sobre o desenvolvimento territorial de Umuarama/PR e as transformações dos espaços públicos
Public spaces have been consolidated as essential elements for urban development and for the promotion of collective well-being in contemporary cities. Their relevance goes beyond the recreational function, as they reflect historical, social and cultural aspects that shape the identity of territories. In view of this, the present study aimed to understand the general aspects of the municipality of Umuarama - Paraná, with emphasis on its territorial expansion and the evolution of public spaces aimed at leisure. The methodology used was qualitative in nature, with an exploratory and descriptive approach. Bibliographic and documentary surveys were carried out in academic and institutional sources, in addition to technical visits and photographic records of the main public spaces in the city. Historical, geographic, social and economic data were also analyzed to contextualize the urban development of Umuarama since its founding in 1955. The results revealed that the various public spaces in Umuarama were gradually incorporated into the urban landscape in response to population growth and socioeconomic transformations in the municipality. These spaces assume symbolic, cultural and functional roles, becoming important centers for coexistence, leisure and promotion of quality of life. The research demonstrated that these environments reflect both urban evolution and the city's identity values, while also highlighting the need for constant maintenance and appreciation by the government. It is concluded that the public spaces of Umuarama are representative of its history and expansion, serving as instruments of social integration and sustainable urban development.

O trabalhador introduzido pela Companhia de Agricultura, Imigração e Colonização ao longo dos anos de 1928-1940 no estado de São Paulo
With the end of slavery, labor became increasingly necessary for coffee plantations. To meet this demand, various types of jobs were created to introduce immigrant workers. It is also worth noting that there was also the presence of nationals, however, they were seen as a second option for large landowners. In the early years of the 20th century, we observed the work of several companies or private enterprises whose objective was to recruit workers for the state of São Paulo. Among these, the Agriculture, Immigration and Colonization Company (CAIC) stood out, introducing both immigrants and nationals to the state of São Paulo. The objective of this article is to analyze and understand the work of the Agriculture, Immigration and Colonization Company in the introduction of immigrant and national workers between 1928 and 1940, highlighting aspects of the company, as well as the origin of the immigrants and contracts established between the CAIC and the Agriculture Department of the state of São Paulo.

“Os alemães ultramarinos também estão ajudando”: o trabalho do Comitê Alemão de Socorro às Vítimas de Guerra de Porto Alegre (1940-1943)
This study is guided by the humanitarian aid provided by organizations based in Brazil to German civilians and prisoners of war during World War II. As a case study, it analyzes the work of the German Committee for War Victims Relief, headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, through its German Subcommittee, based in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, between 1940 and 1943, both operating under the Brazilian Red Cross. A microhistorical analysis allows for the examination of these organizations’ networked operations, their credibility based on the volume of donations collected, and the role of beneficence as a social status within both the national society and ethnic communities. Therefore, this study highlights the role played by these humanitarian organizations—both local and international—in the broader context of humanitarian aid during World War II. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the connections between humanitarian organizations operating in Brazil and the global dynamics of the 1940s.

Asociación Colonia Española de Nuevitas.
The study of the rural world is essential to enrich local, regional and national historiographies. Rural areas are characterized by the predominance of agricultural activities, typical of these areas, such as small and artisanal industries, as well as some aspects of daily life that impacted social activities. The study of Hispanic immigrants settled in the Nuevitas region, as well as the sociability they developed during the first years of the 20th century in Cuba. These are aspects to be unraveled in order to achieve a better understanding of rural areas; a space that during these years will witness a slow transition where rural, port and industrial environments will coexist until the second decade of the 20th century. This research is carried out to study the sociability of Hispanic immigrants settled in the Nuevitas region in the early years of the 20th century. Given the scientific problem of how the Colonia Española de Nuevitas association emerged in 1903, assuming the Colonia Española de Nuevitas association as the object of study. With the aim of determining the founding process of the Colonia Española de Nuevitas association in 1903. The association was created in response to the need of Spanish immigrants settled in the territory to feel publicly represented as an entity with a collective expression of their idiosyncrasy in the face of the nascent Republic of Cuba. Some founders, merchants and owners, are the fundamental drivers of the association and its optimal performance in services.

Workers adrift and under pesticide drift: discourses regarding the death of an indigenous worker
This article aims to analyze the discourses regarding the causes of death of an indigenous worker who worked in thinning activities in an apple orchard in southern Brazil in the late 1990s. Through a police investigation that looked into the working conditions to which indigenous workers were subjected, especially in apple and garlic farming in rural areas, it was possible to analyze the discourses of multiple subjects who narrated the events surrounding the worker's death. Understanding the story of Fág Mág's death reveals to us how the State, by way of Health and Justice institutions, allows the death of indigenous people through work.

Subalternidade e reparação – ações emancipatórias/autonomistas das elites políticas da vila/cidade de Campos dos Goytacazes (1820-1855)
Since it was a political-administrative and territorial rearrangement with national repercussions, the creation of a new province required complex political negotiations in the Brazilian parliament. During the 19th century, only two experiences were successful in this regard: Paraná and Amazonas. On that same occasion, the “good men” of the Municipal Council of Campos dos Goytacazes, in the province of Rio de Janeiro, maintained the desire that their city could become the capital of a new province. This article analyzes the political trajectory of this proposal to create the province of Goytacazes, which did not achieve the expected success. Finally, it considers how this ambition, which was the result of the local elite’s perception of the discrepancy between the importance of their municipality and the treatment received by the provincial authorities (Assembly and Government), came up against a context in which the liberal constitutional political culture required new support networks and new interpretations of political action.

EXPANSION AND MODERNIZATION OF POSTAL SERVICES IN SANTA CATARINA (1930–1945)
We can observe that in Brazil, and by extension in Santa Catarina, during the years 1930 to 1945, there was a restrictive expansion and localized modernization of postal services. It was restrictive because there was growth in postal activity, combining periods of contraction and expansion, and localized because we observe advancements in certain services (airmail and the construction of new headquarters). Both restrictive expansion and localized modernization are associated with economic performance and state modernization. In this article, we will analyze these two movements in postal services in Santa Catarina, which are combined to enable the expansion and modernization of the postal system.

This paper deals in a historical way, the murder – in a rural context – of the young Mapuche Alex Lemün, struck by police bullets in November 2022 in the province of Malleco, in the Araucanía region. His death is a reflection of sustained and systematic racist and violent state behavior against the Mapuche people and their historical demands. Theoretically, this work is articulated from the debates around racialized violence and racial hate speech, as a colonial trend not overcome by the Chilean state. Methodologically, this work is based on criticism and diversity of sources and their analysis.

This article aims to rethink the presence of slaves in Petrópolis in the 19th century from a perspective that analyzes the city in symbiosis with the capital Rio de Janeiro. In contrast to most studies about the city in the 19th century and the accounts of travelers of the time, the analysis of the press allows us to identify a city that reproduced within its interior some of the main characteristics of Brazilian urban slavery.

This case study examines the creation of the Serra do Conduru State Park (PESC) from the perspective of Environmental History, aiming to understand how various actors sought to overcome the conflicts, contradictions, and controversies surrounding the Park, from its decree to its implementation. It also seeks to explore the changes and continuities brought about by this conservation unit in the territory between 1993 and 2006. The park was part of a broader context of territorial management projects in southern Bahia, based on notions of sustainable development and tourism promotion through the creation of Environmental Protection Areas (APAs). As related projects, the Park and the APA Costa de Itacaré - Serra Grande fostered interactions between humans and non-humans, altering conservation dynamics and associated lives. For this study, sources included APA newspapers published between 1999 and 2004, minutes from the Management Council meetings of the APA and PESC between 1999 and 2006, the PESC Creation and APA Implementation Project, as well as interviews with residents, environmentalists, and managers of both conservation units. Amid conflicts, negotiations, and alliances, the Park reorganized human communities in the territory and their relationships with other forms of life, promoted the maintenance and regeneration of key forest remnants, and contributed to the conservation of Atlantic Forest biodiversity. This article is the result of research conducted with funding from CAPES.

O Interiorano “Subversivo”: Política e jornalismo no Pontal do Triângulo Mineiro (1951-1964)
The Folha de Ituiutaba newspaper, characterized as a press from the interior, was a periodical produced between 1942 and 1964 that circulated in the Pontal do Triângulo Mineiro. Focused on reporting on the region where it was produced, due to its political stances, the newspaper was constantly monitored by the political police during the 1950s and part of the 1960s. Eventually, with the civil-military coup of 1964, under the accusation of being a "subversive" and "communist" publication, the newspaper was closed, and its responsible individuals were sent to DOPS in Belo Horizonte. This article aims to reflect on the political role of the newspaper, seeking to understand its political actions and the reasons why it was constantly monitored and, ultimately, closed.

Do rural ao urbano no Sertão Carioca: a transição de Campo Grande e suas adjacências no pós Segunda Guerra
The Sertão Carioca, in Rio de Janeiro, was a vast area marked by various dynamics of social, political, and economic interaction between rural and urban spaces. Urban growth became more evident following the orange crisis, which affected plantations and led to the subdivision of lands (proletarian subdivisions) for the creation of neighborhoods, deeply changing the region’s social and economic dynamics. The increased value of land, real estate speculation, and the growing organization of the market under capitalism influenced how the space was used. This article aims to demonstrate how economic practices transformed the region, leading to the land subdivision for housing construction.

La construcción discursiva del anti-aprismo en la prensa regional peruana: El Caplina de Tacna (1934-1935)
This article analyzes the construction of anti-APRA discourse in the newspaper El Caplina of Tacna during 1934-1935, a period characterized by the intensification of political persecution against APRA. Through Critical Discourse Analysis and hegemony theory, it examines how the newspaper developed sophisticated discursive strategies that combined political criminalization, moral delegitimization, and ridicule of the adversary. The research reveals an evolution from the initial characterization of APRA as an incoherent political force to its presentation as a threat to social order, demonstrating how the regional press adapted and re-elaborated national political discourses. The study shows that El Caplina articulated a discourse that transcended mere party opposition to construct an image of Aprismo as a fundamental obstacle to national and regional development.
