Abstract
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, a series of cultural initiatives attempted to fabricate a movement in Pernambuco that sought to approach the so-called tropicalism, in the wake of what was happening in other parts of the country, through various actions, by the musical debates. In this sense, this article intends to analyze the effort of a posteriori manufacture of a said Pernambucália, designation that such initiative has won in Pernambuco around 1973, as well as the cultural manifestos and the previous controversies that occupied the pages of the Recife’s newspapers Diário de Pernambuco and Jornal do Commercio between the years 1967 and 1968, involving figures such as Ariano Suassuna, Celso Marconi and Jomard Muniz de Britto. The sources used are news papers and literary, and its methodology is based, mainly, in the analysis of speeches. His final objective is to understand to what extent this discursive fabrication promoted a remodeling of the telos built around the Northeastern and Brazilian culture that was now dominant in the city of Recife, as well as in what form that sought to associate itself with a discussion that went beyond other regions of Brazil.
