O processo de emancipação brasileira na imprensa : Correio Braziliense e Gazeta do Rio de Janeiro - 1808 a 1822.

Abstract

This research analyzes the process of emancipation of Portuguese America in order to develop an investigation into the ways in which the press reflected and influenced the political situation of the time. The purpose of this research is to understand how it articulated the emancipation process in the current journal at the time, particularly the Correio Braziliense and the Gazeta do Rio de Janeiro, examining how both addressed the ongoing events and the impact they had in that context, since Portuguese America was a vastly heterogeneous and fragmented territory. Thus, we seek to understand how the discourses conveyed to these periodic built the idea of unity, of belonging and sense of nationhood.
