Resumo

The written works referred to as ‘History of Goiás’, developed by local authors during the first half of the twentieth century, were produced in an effort to represent the history of the region, striving to preserve and document the past of the people of Goiás. These works emphasize the formation of a sense of identity, running through a constant negotiation between memory and history. These authors have become references in the study of the regional history and the collection of their works has seeded the political and cultural representations of Goiás society. Based on these considerations, the focus of this dissertation took special interest in the written history of one of the participants of this generation of Goiás intellectuals, Zoroaster Artiaga, mainly his articles published in the newspaper “Folha de Goiaz”, covering a period between 1967 and 1968. The overall goal here was to understand how the narratives about the past of Goiás, written by intellectuals of the first half of the twentieth century, have become ‘History of Goiás’. Permeating questions about the meaning of the said author’s role in the representation of the region’s history and the interests involved in the publication of a daily column about the history of Goiás, the study seek to characterize the trajectory of Zoroaster Artiaga, trying to understand how the author projects himself as a Goiás intellectual, and then as a historian. This process is explored by an exercise of imagining what made possible and understandable Zoroaster Artiaga’s trajectory in a given context, examining and undertaking the review of his internal logic in discourse / document, as compared it with the discourses of other actors who have written about this same historical agent. By focusing on the context of linking Artiaga Zoroaster’s personality with a generation of intellectuals who demarcated their public action through the press, the present investigation covers the setting of the daily column “History of Goiás”, published in newspaper “Folha de Goyaz”. Thus, the axis of the reflection here tries to locate an internal logic in the mode of production of these writings and a way of thinking about history. Furthermore, it discusses how the representation of Goiás history built by Zoroaster Artiaga selected a set of themes, related in order to think about the history of the region, emphasized by political and cultural values, and mediated by looking at the past with a view on the present.
