Abstract

Based on Jornal de Alagoas – 1980 to 1993; Tribuna de Alagoas – 1986 to 1994; Gazeta newspaper – 1980 to 1990; Jornal de Hoje – 1980 to 1990; diary of Alagoas – 1980 to 1990 the study sought to collect information regarding the modernization of the sugar and alcohol sector in Alagoas in newspapers from the 1980s found in the newspaper library of the Graciliano Ramos state public library in the center of Maceió. For analysis of the speeches contained therein based on bibliographical reading parallel to the theme. Starting from Ricardo Antunes’ reflections, it is noted that “we are challenged to understand the new morphology of work, whose most visible element is its multifaceted design, the result of the strong mutations that have shaken the world of capital in recent decades”. Therefore, in view of the questions raised so far, we also propose to map and analyze the speeches produced by the Alagoas press in order to highlight the role it had/has in the construction of an idea of progress, development and modernization in the sugar and alcohol sector in this state.
