SUMMARY:

 

This study aimed primarily to analyze the biographical writings of Alfredo Ellis Jr. (1896-1974), drawing upon two main sources: "Um parlamentar paulista da República: subsídios para a história da República em S. Paulo e subsídios para a história econômica de São Paulo" (1949) and "Tenente-Coronel Francisco da Cunha Bueno: pioneiro da cafeicultura no Oeste Paulista" (1960). The objective was to comprehend how the author's familial memory, as depicted in the paternal and grandfatherly biographies, is structured and engages in a construction of historical meaning grounded in "scientific" assumptions such as "racialism," geographical "determinism," and economic "determinism.". Furthermore, the biographical writings of the São Paulo historian in the years between 1950-1960 emerge as a fertile source for delineating continuities and reinterpretations developed by the author himself in comparison with his more studied productions as a historian between 1920-1930. Lastly, we can understand the reactualization of the defense of São Paulo regionalism following the "Era Vargas," particularly as the decentralizing regionalist project facilitated by the Partido Republicano Paulista unfolds during the First Republic. This is notably observed through Alfredo Ellis Jr.'s use of a resentful language in the paternal biographies as a means of compensating for dissatisfaction and losses from the author's perspective, concerning the beleaguered economic elite of São Paulo and the centralizing policies throughout the past and present of the nation.Parte superior do formulário
