Abstract

In January 1917 the Federal Capital's major newspapers reported that the workers of the factory Carioca, located in the neighborhood of Gávea, decided to strike. Apparently, it was just another manifestation of workers who, under the guidance anarchist, would have caused the eruption of several strikes in the city. The specific motivations of the manifestation indicated the needs to understand the specific logic of mobilization of the movement. Considering previous forms of organization formed by groups of workers associated with dance clubs in the neighborhood, we can seek a path of the investigation. Through the demand of the license and notices published by the press about these clubs, it is possible to investigate a meaning assigned by them to such an organization
