This research work aims to analyze the four editions of Revista Floreal, a periodical
directed by Lima Barreto (1881 - 1922). The proposal is to investigate Floreal's editions
as an object of study, highlighting its characteristics, among which the strong opposition
to the hegemonic character prevailing in the media of the time. The press in force during
the First Brazilian Republic, the way of doing journalism went through several
transformations, among which the principle of production aimed at meeting the
demands of a growing market. We seek to understand the relationship between the
press, journalism and literature from the trajectory of the writer Afonso Henriques de
Lima Barreto and the way in which he traced his career as a journalist and writer, from a
group of collaborators involved in the foundation and editions of the magazine. We
analyzed the influences present in the creation of the journal. The objective of the
research is to expose the role of the press and the changes it underwent in the first
decades of the republic, in addition to the oppositional role played by Revista Floreal in
that context. The project is structured in an interdisciplinary relationship between
History, Journalism and Literary Studies, especially from the critics: SEVCENKO,
Nicolau (History); LUSTOSA, Isabel. (Journalism); CANDIDO, Antônio (Literary
Studies).
