Resumen:
The present work has as its theme the production of gender codes in Seridó Potiguar during the late nineteenth century, more specifically between the years 1880 and 1900, taking as main reference the newspaper “O Povo”, which circulated throughout the region between the years of 1889 and 1892. The objective of this text is to investigate how the transition from the monarchical period to the republican, and especially the germination of a bourgeois society in Seridó, implemented in the region a discursive production aimed at the manufacture/formation of models of man and woman aiming at the development of a “modern” Seridó society. During the preparation of the research, in addition to newspaper editions, Seridó's criminal proceedings and police inquiries of the 1880s and 1890s were also analyzed. Through a discursive analysis of these sources and using theoretical frameworks of Cultural History, he sought In this study, we perceive subjects as changeable and plural individuals, fruits of a process articulated by power relations. From this perspective the conception of gender was worked from a relational point of view, attempting to understand that both femininities and masculinities are social, cultural and, above all, historical constructs.
