João Cândido and the revolt of the lash: disputes and memories

Authors

  • Claudio Barbosa de Sousa

Abstract

The Revolt of the Lash broke out in Rio de Janeiro in 1910 in the ranks of the Brazilian navy. Its goals included the end of corporal punishment inflicted on sailors and better pay. This remarkable episode of the First Republic became, in many ways, a stage where several memories are in dispute, if not entirely conflicting. This article seeks to build a bridge between the Revolt of the Lash and its echoes through the cultural area. Choosing among different possible options, we first approach its sounds in popular music. Then we reframe this topic from the angle of the relationship between the leader of the sailors, João Cândido, and statuary. Finally, the issue is reconsidered in the framework of plots for recreating a novel.

Keywords: Revolt of the Lash; João Cândido; memory disputes.
