- Abstract
The objective of this paper is to analyze representations about the productions of neo-Gothic architecture in Recife in the 1910s and 1920s. Texts produced by intellectuals at a time when the city was undergoing transformations in its appearance and sociability. As a methodology, we sought to analyze articles present in newspapers of the time, using interpretations from the perspective of Cultural History of Representations, in order to perceive in these writings the meanings of civilization, tradition and modernity in dispute, the practices that unfolded from these meanings and where was the neo-gothic in the urban projects of brazilian capitals during the First Republic. As a result of these analyses, two groups of conflicting intellectuals were identified: the cosmopolitans, defenders of the ideals of civilization and sympathetic to European-influenced architecture, such as the neo-Gothic; and the regionalists, defenders of Brazilian architecture and the preservation of colonial buildings, therefore contrary to neo-Gothic.
