Abstract This research focuses on the study of what has been named, for methodological reasons, as the geopolitics of the Luso-American press. Before anything else, it aims at shedding light on the points of contact between politics and geography in the crucial moments of transition from the colonial condition to the national one. By mapping the references to the manifold spaces of politics - hamlets, cities, provinces, countries, continents, hemispheres, as well as toponyms such as rivers, seas, oceans, and islands - written in the newspapers published in Portuguese America during 1808 and 1822, it aims at identifying the possible outlines of the referential political universe that newspapers would enable its readers to imagine, and the place that the references to Brazil would have in it. | |
