The first twenty years of the 20th century were of great transformation to the city of Floriano, considered, at the time, one of the active hubs of the import-export trade in the state of Piauí, in the hinterland of Brazil. In this historical context, journalistic and literary journalism emerged and witnessed the changes in habits of its society, which was witnessing the arrival of modern airs. Favorable to this transformation, the commercial and political conjunctures operated by the Republican Party, especially between the years 1916 and 1924, were responsible for forming in town one of the significant literary circuits of the state and, consequently, as if it had been experienced in newsrooms of newspapers and literary associations, cultural environment such as theater, cinema and clubs – evidence of a relatively active literary life. This article analyzes these changes and their resistance, starting in 1902, when the first periodical was founded in the city, in 1921, the end of the first phase of the most important newspaper of the period, O Popular.
