DAMASCENO, Alberto  and  VIEIRA, Carlos Eduardo. Republican speech and the debate on the formation of the Brazilian people in the trajectory of Virgilio Cardoso de Oliveira. Cad. Hist. Educ.

This article aims at discussing the trajectory of Virgilio Cardoso de Oliveira (1868-1935), focusing on the relation between the republican discourse and the debates on the formation of the Brazilian people in the context of the First Republic, especially in the period between centuries, in the Amazon region. In theoretical terms, we will explore the concept of intellectual, the notions of space of experience and horizons of expectations, as well as the concepts of language games and normative concepts. Among the sources used for the analysis, we highlight: newspapers, state documents, books, and images. We conclude by stating that Virgilio Cardoso represented an important position within republican discourse and practice, even though his power to transform the country's educational reality has been limited, by explicit and implicit resistance, to make the Republic a democratic project and capable of promoting political inclusion, and social justice.

Keywords : Virgilio Cardoso de Oliveira; Intellectuals; Formation of the people.
