Abstract

This article discusses the intense struggles over family laws and policies in the early-twentieth century, culminating with the establishment of the Estado Novo dictatorship of 1937–1945. It then analyses letters from ordinary citizens who ask President Getúlio for help in the aftermath of separation from a spouse or consensual partner. These stories are framed by the ‘emotional regime’ and family values that were propagated by the state. Yet the letters also reveal how political tensions and oppositional positions influence their emotional responses and intimate lives.

在巴尔加斯时代的情感体制中导航：女权主义斗争、天主教的反应和给总统的信中关系破裂的故事Getúlio巴尔加斯（1930-1945）

本文讨论了二十世纪早期围绕家庭法律和政策的激烈斗争，最终以1937-1945年新国家独裁政权的建立而告终。然后，它分析了普通公民在与配偶或双方同意的伴侣分居后向总统Getúlio寻求帮助的信件。这些故事被国家宣传的“情感政权”和家庭价值观所框定。然而，这些信件也揭示了政治紧张和对立立场是如何影响他们的情绪反应和亲密生活的。

期刊介绍： Gender & History is now established as the major international journal for research and writing on the history of femininity and masculinity and of gender relations. Spanning epochs and continents, Gender & History examines changing conceptions of gender, and maps the dialogue between femininities, masculinities and their historical contexts. The journal publishes rigorous and readable articles both on particular episodes in gender history and on broader methodological questions which have ramifications for the discipline as a whole.
