O Brasil na Grande Guerra: contornos de uma política nacional de censura (1917-1918)

Abstract

This article analyses the diversified censorship system established in Brazil during the First World War, which was vital to the circulation of war propaganda, mainly from 1917. Between 1914-1918, Brazil was somehow mobilized, like other countries from the “peripheric” world, although its participation at the front was not expressive. Based on a transnational approach, we seek to reflect upon aspects of the conflict that, so far, have been neglected by the historiography of the Great War, namely the cultural and political impact of censorship in the country.
