My research analysed forms of sociability in the Brazilian anarchist movement during the first three decades of the 20th Century, with a specific attention to cultural transfers and transnational circulation. Starting from the analysis of sources (plays, iconography, epistolary, autobiographies, novels, policy documents, theoretical texts, pamphlets and
photographic collections), my work concerns the social scene and the symbolic space around the theatre in urban areas, and pay particular attention to the ritual, symbolic and social aspects connected with social events and theatre performances.
