The Revista Brazileira (1895-1899) and the finissecular literate universe: experience of the time and the challenges of evolutionary science in Brazil

Abstract

In this text we will look the various facets that the journal Revista Brazileira (1895-1899) appeared through the pen of its writers: the reconfiguration of the literate universe in the face of new republican political context, through the writers’s concern with the emergence of the "social question" and arriving evolutionist science as a challenge of the time for Brazil. This still has two main objectives: to present to the public this still little studied journal among historians and to follow those intellectual trajectories, rethinking the phenomenon of the experience of the time in that end of century as a phenomenon fundamentally plural and little or nothing unison.
