The purpose of this thesis is to study the newspaper A Razão, a journal created in Estância, Sergipe, by physician João Vieira Leite and his brother-in-law, the merchant Augusto Ramos Gomes. The temporal cut begins in 1898, year of foundation of the periodical, and 1923, year that corresponds to the death of Augusto Gomes. Aligned with the ideology of civilization, progress and modernity that prevailed during the Old Republic, the press played a prominent role in promoting ideas, formation of ideas and propagating knowledge. In this sense, the general objective of this doctoral research is to analyze the structure of the newspaper, its explicit purposes and, mainly, the relations established by and from it in various areas such as: philanthropy, education, arts, religion, politics and commerce. The extensive participation of the Jornal in the Estância’s society evidenced the use of different strategies in the dispute for the accumulation of more social capital and distinction. For the production of this work linked to Cultural History, I opted for the use of the following concepts: field, capital, habitus and representation, as well as establishing a dialogue with the newspaper A Razão was at the same time an object and source. From the analysis of his writings other sources became necessary as: book of minutes, memories, photographs and reports. The research was carried out in the archive of the Epiphânio Dórea Public Library, in the Historical and Geographic Institute of Sergipe, in the Central Library of the Federal University of Sergipe and in the Journal Library of the National Library. Through the analysis of the structure of the newspaper, different themes will be analyzed, such as: a brief history about the press in Sergipe, the civilizatory mission attributed to the press in the republican period, the relationship between the press and literature, a brief profile of the city of Estância, the evidence of books circulating in the city of Estancia at the time through advertisements in the newspaper, education through the pages of the periodical, encouragement to the arts, notably music, cinema and theater, the feminine condition of writings published and the work of doctors Jessé Fontes and Josafá Brandão in the cultural and educational fields with the press as a vehicle. Thus, considering the data collected in the research, I defend the thesis that, as part of a civilizing and progressive mission, the newspaper A Razão acted as a disseminating vehicle for reading and instruction in the city of Estância, in Sergipe, in the 1898 to 1923.
