| Sumario: | The present paper argues that the intellectual and cultural production focused on Brazilian hinterlands and central region, initially produced in the late XIX century and especially the first half of XX century, was the propeller to the so-called West Brazilian March and, more specifically, the focus of this article, The Roncador-Xingu Expedition (1943-1948). Literary and Historiography production – developed as an investment around the story and memory of the Bandeirantes, in São Paulo State – featured as the main role in the construction of a political agenda required due to the urgency to explore remote areas of Brazilian territory. As a result of that, The Roncador-Xingu Expedition was able to rely on financial and political support, as well as considerable visibility. |
