Filho constituiu um discurso de defensor dos trabalhadores e do movimento oper?rio. Pretende-se compreender, por um lado, como foram estabelecidas rela??es pol?ticas entre diferentes categorias de trabalhadores e as ?classes m?dias? e, por outro, como foram institu?dos espa?os para abrigar o encontro dessas rela??es. Almeja-se compreender a inser??o de Caf? Filho nas atividades sindicais no mundo urbano. Demonstra-se especificidades da cultura pol?tica em Natal, enfatizando-se a disputa entre uma cidade regida politicamente por mentalidade rural paternalista ainda reinante e o surgimento de uma nova forma de vivenciar os conflitos urbanos que se apresentavam. Temporalmente o trabalho est? delimitado entre 1921 (ano proclamado pelo pr?prio Caf? Filho como o per?odo inicial da sua a??o pol?tica) a 1937 (ano em que Caf? Filho rompeu com Vargas e exilou-se na Argentina). Tr?s tipos documentais se constitu?ram como fontes principais para a investiga??o: v?rios jornais publicados, entre as d?cadas de 1920 e 1930, nas cidades de Natal, Recife, S?o Paulo, Porto Alegre e Rio de Janeiro; as mem?rias autobiogr?ficas escritas pelo pr?prio Caf? Filho e mem?rias de outras pessoas que viveram no tempo dele. Os principais esteios que deram sustenta??o ao trabalho foram: os conceitos de sociedade e indiv?duos (Norbert Elias), de culturas pol?ticas (Serge Berstein) e de teatro da mem?ria (Angela de Castro Gomes); a categoria espa?os de sociabilidade (Michel Certeau, Maria Teresa Malatian e Jean Pierre Riox); a no??o de biografia (Fran?ois Dosse e Sabina Loriga). / The purpose of this thesis is to analyze how Jo?o Caf? Filho constituted a discourse of advocate of the labor movement and workers in different sociability spaces. It is intended to understand, on one hand, how political relations were established between different categories of workers and the ?middle classes? and, on the other hand, how places were instituted to house the meeting of these relations. It a ims to understand the insertion of Caf? Filho in union activities in the urban world. It demonstrates specificities of the political culture in Natal emphasizing the dispute between a city politically ruled by a still reigning rural paternalistic mentality and the rise of a new way to experience the urban conflicts which appeared. Temporally, the work is delimited between 1922 (proclaimed by Caf? Filho himself as the initial period of his political action) and 1937 (when he broke up with Vargas and went into exile in Argentina). The research was constituted by three main document types: several published newspapers between the decades of 1920 and 1930 in the cities of Natal, Recife, S?o Paulo, Porto Alegre and Rio de Janeiro; the autobiographical memoirs written by Caf? Filho himself and memoirs of other people who lived in his time. The main pillars that have supported the work were: the concepts of society and individuals (ELIAS, 1994; 1995), political cultures (BERSTEIN, 1998) and theater of the memory (GOMES, 2004); the sociability spaces category (CERTEAU, 1994; MALATIAN, 2001; RIOX, 1996); the biography notion (DOSSE, 2009; LORIGA, 2011). We demonstrated that Caf? Filho acted in some sociability spaces as: the Jornal do Norte, the Federa??o Regional do Trabalho and the Partido Democr?tico Nacional. In such spaces, Caf? Filho, gradually, become an important leader of workers and, at the same time, linked to national entities led to the opposition that fight against the power established in the Brazilian First Republic. In Caf? Filho?s interpretation, workers were individuals who needed to fight against the political structures prevailing at that time because the poor living conditions and the low representativeness of this group were caused by the way the political system in the First Republic was structured. After the 1930 Movement, the 3 de Outubro Club, the Jornal and the Labor Federation of Natal were constituted in spaces where the cafeista critical discourse about the government was changed: workers should follow the official syndicalism and defend the 1930 Movement which put Vargas in the presidency of the Republic.
