Abstract
In the present article, I examine Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis’s five chronicles, published between 1894-1897 in the Rio de Janeiro newspaper A Gazeta de Notícias, on the Brazilian Republic’s assault against the Canudos community in Northeasten Brazil. Focusing on Machado’s critique of the role of communication technologies, and particularly print news, in fin de siècle Brazil, I argue that he makes use of the transformation of the messianic community into a national mediatic event to thematize the birth of a consumer society, the violent expansion of global capitalist networks and state power, authoritarianism, and the contradictory values of what he refers to as "bourgeois industrial society."
在本文中，我将检视Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis在1894-1897年间发表于巴西里约热内卢报纸A Gazeta de Notícias的五部编年史，内容涉及巴西共和国对巴西东北部Canudos社区的攻击。关注马查多在《巴西末日》中对通讯技术，尤其是印刷新闻角色的批判，我认为他利用弥赛亚社区向国家媒介事件的转变，将消费社会的诞生、全球资本主义网络和国家权力的暴力扩张、威权主义以及他所称的“资产阶级工业社会”的矛盾价值观作为主题。
