Abstract
O artigo aborda as autoimagens urbanas construídas pela pequena intelectualidade sertaneja na Bahia do início do século XX. Por intermédio de textos de memorialistas e da imprensa de suas cidades, bem como do uso que fizeram da fotografia, investigo algumas dessas autoimagens do sertão como contraponto àquelas cristalizadas no imaginário nacional, principalmente após a repercussão de Os sertões, de Euclides da Cunha. O objetivo é identificar como as cidades aparecem nessas imagens e de que forma elas contribuíram para a construção de um espaço público urbano no sertão baiano identificado com a civilização, ideia a meu ver distante daquelas construídas pelos olhares externos.
Highlights
The article looks at the urban self-images constructed by the petty sertaneja intelligentsia in the early twentieth century in Bahia
It was with this work that a petty sertão intelligentsia in Bahia established a constant dialogue over the following decades, when the self-images of its towns were developed at the beginning of the twentieth century
In this article I propose an approach to the constructions of these self-images of the petty intelligentsia, both through memorialist texts and the local press, highlighting the use they made of photography
Summary
I believe that the diffusion and reception of the first photographic images which participated in the construction of an urbane and civilized look in the sertão occurred at the beginning of the twentieth century in newspapers from small towns and texts published in the annals of the V National Congress of Geography in 1916.
