The present study aims to analyze the role of intellectuals regarded as cultural mediators, ie, those that aim to disseminate historical knowledge to the general public. To do this we chose as the object of study the intellectual Viriato Corrêa (1884-1967), which we believe is exemplary in this kind of intellectual activity. More specifically, we try to stick to their plays, written between the 1910s and 1940s, which, like the rest of his work, are marked by an intense appreciation of the national discourse. We must remember that the period in question is strategic in relation to the construction of a Republican national identity. Thus, we will seek to demonstrate how the writer has contributed and been engaged in the project of constructing a national history and memory through its theatrical productions, using them as vectors for spreading a cultural history of civic-patriotic slant.
