A NARRATIVA JORNALÍSTICA DE JOÃO PARSONDAS DE CARVALHO

MEMÓRIA DA VIOLÊNCIA NA REGIÃO DOS VALES DOS RIOS ARAGUAIA E TOCANTINS

Abstract

This article discusses the narrative about crimes committed by agents of the State, the military career of the state of Maranhão that, under the mantle of the order, practiced, or allowed to practice crimes with refinements of cruelty at the turn of the nineteenth century to the twentieth. To submit and problematize these crimes we assume that the political and military in these states at the turn of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the XX presupposed specific forms of violence which, ultimately, they formed a culture of violence in this period. The analysis was taken through the interpretation of narrative journalism of the journalist John Parsondas Oak about such crimes taking as conductor of analysis the relationship between history and memory. The crimes dealt here occurred in the region of the valleys of the rivers and Araguaia Tocantins.
