The proposal of this article is to study the literary and journalistic contribution of a group of Manauara intellectuals during the years of national construction in the Provisional Government and in the Constitutional Government of Getúlio Vargas (1930-1937). Six names that participated more actively in the Amazon public sphere were chosen: Aurélio Pinheiro, Anísio Jobim, Araújo Lima, Carlos Mesquita, Ramayana Chevalier and Arhur Reis, all of them press men with active traffic in the newspapers. From the point of view of the textual analysis, we intend to understand how these authors pondered the regional identity and negotiated the affiliation of the region in the national project, treating the Amazon as a relevant term from the social and political point of view, oriented to the present and with planning component.
