SUMMARY:
This work presents discussions about the displacement of cangaceiros on the borders of Ceará
and the discursive construction of fear elaborated by the local press and neighboring states
between the years 1912 and 1928. When studying the discourses about these subjects, we
come across descriptions that highlight their audacity, violence and cruelty of their actions. In
many works, they dedicate themselves to commenting on the actions, but the space where
they take place does not receive due attention and, in some cases, they are naturalized and
apprehended as something given. Our proposal is to denaturalize these spaces, seeing them as
places of power, as constructors of discourses and identities. Thus, this work seeks to
understand the discourses of fear disseminated by the press and discuss how fear is mobilized
to meet interests and uses of space, discursively (re)constructing practices and subjects. For
this research, we selected newspapers from Ceará and neighboring states, as well as messages
from State Presidents to the Assembly. This allowed us to map the urgency that the theme
gained in the 1920s and analyze the various discourses that pointed to a threat of invasion and
destruction in cities, thus thinking about a spatialization of fear based on the movement of
cangaceiros across borders and the multiple possibilities they offered.
