Abstract

This paper is entitled “The railroad as a way of national integration: a discourse on territorial unity” has as main aim the analysis of the geographic materiality projected from the discourses of military geopolitics, in this case, the Brazilian historian and geopolitical Nelson Werneck Sodré in line with the speech of Mario Travassos. A recurrent geopolitical perspective was addressed in the works and discourses promulgated by the military, namely: national integration and the formation of the internal market; the railways and territorial integration. The analysis is around of the perspective of formation of the Brazilian territory, constituting one of the theoretical-methodological perspectives of the geographic thought: the geographic discourse as a form of projection of the territorial materiality of a State.

Keywords: Geographic Thinking; Brazilian Territorial Unit; Brazilian geopolitics; Nelson Werneck Sodré.
