Thus, a consistet number of sources: RN and CE old newspapers, as well as a rep?blica from Natal and Fortaleza and o mossoroense ; historical drafts from the historical and geographical institute associated and historical, gographical and anthropological institute of Cear?; the A??o C?vel Origin?ria de n? 6 from the supreme federal tribunal and many other cartographies. The documents haven t been hierarchized, neither accepted as proof effects, but understood as the base matter for this text composition by the deconstruction of the analyzed discusses. In order to do that the abla??o or bricolagem method, without quotations marks or long quotations themselves, has been used. Along the three analyzed charpters: the two phases the litigious was found, since its beginning yet in the XVIII century until 1888 and its return within the republic proclamation, in the 1920 resolution; the development of the documental, historical and identity dispute between IHGA-CE and IHG-RN; and, at last, the political game existing between the Albuquerque Maranh?o oligarchy , Manuel Pereira Reis and Rui Barbosa, explaining the intentions, silent and miths built along the time by these intellectual participations / O objetivo deste trabalho ? analisar de que maneira a quest?o de limites entre o Cear? e o Rio Grande do Norte, a chamada de Quest?o de Grossos, esteve associada na forma??o espacial e identit?ria norte-rio-grandense na Primeira Rep?blica. Para tanto, utilizamos um elevado n?mero de fontes: jornais norte-rio-grandenses e cearenses da ?poca, como A Rep?blica de Natal e Fortaleza e O Mossoroense; escritos historiogr?ficos dos s?cios do Instituto Hist?rico e Geogr?fico do Rio Grande do Norte (IHG-RN) e do Instituto Hist?rico, Geogr?fico e Antropol?gico do Cear? (IHGA-CE) presentes em suas revistas; a A??o C?vel Origin?ria de n? 6 do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) e diversas cartografias. N?o hierarquizamos os documentos analisados, nem tampouco os compreendemos como efeitos de provas, mas como material de trabalho que constr?i o texto a partir da desconstru??o dos discursos analisados. Para tanto, fazemos uso do m?todo abla??o ou bricolagem, n?o utilizando aspas, nem tampouco cita??es longas. Ao longo dos tr?s cap?tulos analisamos: as duas fases que o lit?gio se encontrou, desde o seu come?o ainda no s?culo XVIII at? 1888 e sua retomada com a Proclama??o da Rep?blica, com sua resolu??o em 1920; o desenrolar da disputa no plano documental, historiogr?fico e identit?rio entre o IHGA-CE e o IHG-RN; e, por fim, o jogo pol?tico existente entre a oligarquia Albuquerque Maranh?o, Manuel Pereira Reis e Rui Barbosa, explicitando ainda as inten??es, sil?ncios e mitos constru?dos ao longo do tempo nas participa??es desses intelectuais
