Na história nem heróis nem vilões: analisando uma escrita maniqueísta na historiografia paraibana sobre João Pessoa e José Pereira.

Abstract

This research is an analysis about the group of historical publications that relate the political events occurred in the end of the period of the Colonels’ Republic in Paraíba during the João Pessoa’ Government (1928-1930). i. e., the intra-oligarchic that culminated in a armed conflict between the police forces from the Paraíba state commanded by João Pessoa and the seditious defenders of from Princesa, city in the same state, and they had as leader the colonel José Pereira, a state representative. The focus is to expose the production of writing by the parties as we observe through the construction of distinct representations for the involved characters this fact. The study was developed with a historiographical aspect searching the most proven readings in the bibliography about the theme, besides to discover on them the productions of pictures about João Pessoa and José Pereira in discourses that shape a manacheistic and dubious writing about the characters, alternating between the notes that implement a representation of the good or the harm for each one. Then, the study centers in the research in relation to as largely the existing historiography about the theme is concise in that field, which put on the political conducts and actions from those who initially were allied and party of “epitacista” oligarchy in different places and so from the same power structure, referencing to the fact that the each writer implements for himself distinct perspectives about the same event with the aim to prosecute the figures which desire to develop for each one those who obtain the main function about the facts in theirs narratives.
