Abstract

The thesis addresses the theoretical elements that exist in Integralism Plinio Salgado. Attempt to observe the uniqueness of the thought of Plinio Salgado and appropriations made by other authors and theoretical approaches. In parallel, there is the examination of aspects of the fascist regimes of Italy and Germany, such as authoritarian dictatorships of Portugal and Spain, observing the similarities and differences with the Plinio Salgado's integralism. This task is performed in order to realize the appropriations made by the integralism leadership in order to make cohesive and legitimized its doctrinal framework. With this assumption, Salgado draws upon foreign models (fascism and salzarismo for example), such as national authors (Farias Brito, Alberto Torres and Oliveira Vianna), permeated by foreign intellectuals, with purpose of preparing its draft Estado Integral, within the principles of "Deus, Pátria e Família", tripod of integralism.
