This doctoral research seeks to analyze how Gustavo Barroso discursively fabricated the idea of (undesirable) times, spaces and identities in the period 1912-1920. We aim to scrutinize how the Barrosian discourse expressed through his books, stories, chronicles, aphorisms, interviews, essays and his performance as federal deputy for Ceará in the caption of the Conservative Republican Party (1915-1918), sought to describe, interpret and ordering the historical changes experienced in the period proposed for analysis. These are texts and speeches that dialogue with other discourses of their time and with discourses that precede them, which are inserted in a field of consensus, conflicts and tensions, in the dynamics of social life, which erupts from given relations of power and knowledge, being product and producing source of certain realities by seeking to pass on ideas and worldviews, registering in a peculiar way the change that came with modernity and the establishment of the Republic. Discourses that speak of the transition from an old rural society based on personality, paternalism and inviolability to an urban society, crossed by the discourse of progress and the anonymity of capital, by the invasion of State agents and by the bankruptcy and/or reorganization of social hierarchies. A world that for him was out of order and that he was willing to order. In this way, we believe that historicizing the (un)desirables of Gustavo Barroso, from a vision that intertwines history, politics and literature in his discourse, showing the mechanisms that compose it and that make it work, is to be concerned with the formulation of a thought that is heir to other discourses, as well as a constantly reformulated heritage, gaining new guises, for other political practices that make up (undesirable) times, spaces and identities.
