A idade da revolução: Astrojildo Pereira e José Carlos Mariátegui na construção do marxismo latino-americano

Abstract

The present thesis has as main interest the comparative study between Astrojildo Pereira and José Carlos Mariátegui political ideas in the construction of Marxism. We site our analysis from an interpretative focus which approaches the political culture developed by both Latin American Marxists and the role performed by revolutionary intellectuals. Saying that, to analyze the public manifestations from those intellectuals and their respective realities, we were compelled to investigate the relations they had with the classical Marxian ideas. This way, we chose the themes revolutionary journalism, the countrymen class and revolution which collated our propositions to that Marxian tradition. We aim to comprehend the way the characters political ideas were organized and, from the public exposition of those ideas, comprehend how their actions were in their social contexts. We highlight that the comprehension of the political actuation from both actors is extremely important for the consolidation of the proletarians in Latin American political scenario.
