Abstract

In the first decades of the Republic School of Engineering of Porto Alegre was an important center for the production and dissemination of science in southern Brazil. From 1914, this institution has been publishing the magazine EGATEA disclosing different types of research and recording on their pages elements of scientific discourse of his time. The main purpose of this article is to explore the potential of EGATEA Magazine as documentary source for the study of environmental history, articulating the binomial Science/Nature. The first part of the article deals with the relationship between the School of Engineering of Porto Alegre and the government of Rio-grandense Republican Party and offers subsidies for understanding the publishing profile EGATEA; the second highlights issues related to the use of science to nature exploration; and the third part includes issues about the process of modernization of agricultural activities in Rio Grande do Sul the First Republic.
