Uses of Books and Other Printings: Communist Cultural Building in the 1920’

Abstract

As pointed out by Roger Chartier, it is vital that historians pay attention to the “conditions and processes that very concretely carry the operations of sense building”. So that this paper aims to study the Communist education and its Cultural practices through the analisis of publishing and the building up of the sense of reading in the Communist landscape. The period approached is the first decade of Brazilian Communist Party existence. The study of Communist publishing and its Reading practices conducts to the comprehension of marxism reception by Astrojildo Pereira, Octávio Brandão and his comrades of the PCB during de 1920’.
