Linguagens da Identidade e da Diferença no Mundo Ibero-americano (1750-1890)
Tal como se refere num dos capítulos deste livro, a razão de ser da história conceptual foi a de ajudar os historiadores a distinguir com maior clareza a sua linguagem analítica daquela utilizada nas fontes que estudam. O projecto sobre Linguagens da identidade e da diferença: classes, corporações, castas e raças, 1750-1870, reporta-se a um tempo de mudança política e cultural no qual se pretenderam questionar classificações sociais inscritas na ordem jurídica e identidades territoriais que se reputavam particularistas, em nome da consagração dos novos significados que se imputavam aos conceitos de cidadania e de nação. A delimitação de novos fundamentos da ordem política nos espaços ibero-americanos passou, no entanto, pela utilização de categorias de identificação social e territorial, cruzadas com a imperiosa necessidade de definir quem fazia e quem não fazia parte da cada nação e quem eram os seus cidadãos. Das formas concretas como nesses processos se perpetuaram, renovaram e inventaram categorias identitárias nos dão conta os ensaios aqui reunidos.

Repensando o Brasil do Oitocentos
Neste livro, José Murilo de Carvalho reúne o resultado de dois seminários que organizou dentro do projeto 'Nação e cidadania no Império - novos horizontes'. A fim de ultrapassar as análises já existentes, estabeleceu como parâmetros de análise a necessidade de se esquadrinhar novas formas de lutas pela cidadania.
Press, Power, and Culture in Imperial Brazil
Press, Power, and Culture in Imperial Brazil introduces recent Brazilian scholarship to English-language readers, providing fresh perspectives on newspaper and periodical culture in the Brazilian empire from 1822 to 1889. Through a multifaceted exploration of the periodical press, contributors to this volume offer new insights into the workings of Brazilian power, culture, and public life. Collectively arguing that newspapers are contested projects rather than stable recordings of daily life, individual chapters demonstrate how the periodical press played a prominent role in creating and contesting hierarchies of race, gender, class, and culture. Contributors challenge traditional views of newspapers and magazines as mechanisms of state- and nation-building. Rather, the scholars in this volume view them as integral to current debates over the nature of Brazil. Including perspectives from Brazil's leading scholars of the periodical press, this volume will be the starting point for future scholarship on print culture for years to come.
Days of National Festivity in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1823–1889
Official and popular celebrations marked the Brazilian empire's days of national festivity, and these civic rituals were the occasion for often intense debate about the imperial regime. Hendrik Kraay explores the patterns of commemoration in the capital of Rio de Janeiro, the meanings of the principal institutions of the constitutional monarchy established in 1822–24 (which were celebrated on days of national festivity), and the challenges to the imperial regime that took place during the festivities. While officialdom and the narrow elite sought to control civic rituals, the urban lower classes took an active part in them, although their popular festivities were not always welcomed by the elite. Days of National Festivity is the first book to provide a systematic analysis of civic ritual in a Latin American country over a long period of time—and in doing so, it offers new perspectives on the Brazilian empire, elite and popular politics, and urban culture.
The Enlightenment in Iberia and Ibero-America
This book discusses responses to the challenges faced by two different Iberian imperial systems in their struggle to sustain territorial integrity and economic interests in the face of international competition. During a so-called period of ‘Enlightened Despotism’, absolutist governments in Spain and Portugal sought to harness Enlightenment ideas to their policies of reform. The Iberian Enlightenment, however, did not rely exclusively on government sponsorship – it had existing foundations in sixteenth-century Spanish humanism and subsequent attempts at reform, and educated individuals in major cities frequently operated independently of government. The Enlightenment contributed greatly to the availability of potential political solutions to the urgent matter of political status, in the attempt to transform absolutist governments into constitutional systems and drawing in the process on the structures of medieval foundations, contemporary revolutions or less radical constitutional monarchies, or a combination of sources more closely aligned with Ibero-American realities.
State and Nation Making in Latin America and Spain: Volume 1
The growth of institutional capacity in the developing world has become a central theme in twenty-first-century social science. Many studies have shown that public institutions are an important determinant of long-run rates of economic growth. This book argues that to understand the difficulties and pitfalls of state building in the contemporary world, it is necessary to analyze previous efforts to create institutional capacity in conflictive contexts. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the process of state and nation building in Latin America and Spain from independence to the 1930s. The book examines how Latin American countries and Spain tried to build modern and efficient state institutions for more than a century - without much success. The Spanish and Latin American experience of the nineteenth century was arguably the first regional stage on which the organizational and political dilemmas that still haunt states were faced. This book provides an unprecedented perspective on the development and contemporary outcome of those state and nation-building projects.
Guerra literária
This series features a selected collection of pamphlets written at the time of the Independence of Brazil (1820-1823) that have survived and are available in major libraries, collections and archives of Portugal, Brazil and Uruguay. What these pamphlets reveal is a little-known side of Independence, which at the time was called the literary war, a war waged from the liberal revolution of Porto in 1820 until complete independence of Brazil, effective in 1823, with the release of Bahia. Though bloodless, this literary war is an indispensable source for understanding the great debates that marked the renewal of a nation and the birth of another.
