SUMMARY:

The present thesis aims to debate the projects regarding the change of the Brazilian federal capital’s location during the first half of the 20th century, analyzing each project from the perspective of correlation between different ideas about the possibilities and meanings of Brazilian economic development and, subsequetently, its economic and demographic outspreads across the country’s different regions. More precisely, this work treats the debates about the incorporation of Brazil’s central-western states to the economic frontier conceived by two groups: the Brazilian federal commissions in charge of the studies concerning the viability of moving the capital city from Rio de Janeiro - the Comissão de Estudos para Localização da Nova Capital do Brasil and the Comissão de Localização da Nova Capital Federal (CELNCB and CLNCF in Portuguese, respectively) - and the political and intelectual elite of the state of Goiás, which expressed its views through the press - such as the A Informação Goyana magazine, published between 1917 and 1935 - in addition of discourses and political statements from that period. We observed that the linkage between the defense of the transfer of the capital and ideias of “national integration” - that is, the conceived ways of development for different parts of the national territory -, designated as desenvolvimentismo (or “developmentalism”), was more complex than it is normally conceived. Therefore, our goal is to contribute to a better understanding of the socioeconomic changes at the time under study in light of the tensions between different conceptions of development at issue.
