Relações socioculturais e comerciais num contexto transfronteiriço: a Fazenda Britânia (1880-1940)

Abstract

The receive research aims to demonstrate how applied cultural, social and economic articulations between Western Paraná and, consequently, with the Fazenda Britânia in front of its border with Paraguay and with Argentina influences the characteristics of its demographic, social and economic formation between 1880 and 1940. This selection allows us to identify that these social dynamics led the Fazenda Britânia to develop a side opposite to its policy of political polarization, a capital of Paraná - Curitiba. For this purpose, we used reports of excursion trips that, for reasons that include services provided by the government or the simple adventure headquarters, engaged in entering the most extreme hinterlands of Paraná. These excursionists were divided into two groups: those who traveled through the dense Paraná State towards the Rio Paraná, and those who bypassed these adversities by navigating or accessing other states and countries until reaching the Rio Paraná, and then, or Westrn Paraná. From the reports of these Brazilians, it was possible to delineate conditions in which the principles were presented between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In this context, it was found that the Fazenda Britânia, at least until a decade of 1940, established a relationship of interdependence with the Platinum market, or that it carried out a much more emphatic approach between the Fazenda Britânia- Paraguay-Argentina, and the Fazenda Britânia - Paraná-Curitiba.
