Abstract

The purpose of this BEPE application is to develop the research project entitled "The Vasconcelos brothers, the miguelista counter-revolution and the relations between Brazil and Portugal (1826-1834)". Linked to the University of Lisbon, this proposal will have the supervision of Professor Nuno Gonçalo Monteiro, one of the greatest Portuguese specialists on the theme of the miguelista counter-revolution. In addition to the dialogue between researchers, the internship will allow us to access important documentation about the Vasconcelos family that is deposited in archives and libraries in Portugal. The verticalization of the study about the miguelista counter-revolution, especially on the image of the army officer Jerônimo Pereira de Vasconcelos, will contribute to the deepening of one of the main objectives established in the project under development in Brazil (2020/04701-7), namely: the distinction between European counter-revolutionary regimes, particularly in Portugal, and the conservative return in Brazil. Different liberalisms marked the lives of the Vasconcelos brothers: Jerônimo Pereira became a nobleman in a society with traces of the Old Regime; Bernardo Pereira and Francisco Diogo, acting as an oligarchy, defended slavery and the enslaved trade. Finally, the exchange will allow us to insert the research in a fertile research field whose historians, such as Andréa Lisly Gonçalves (2012), have been reinforcing the need to reflect on the process of Independence/independences of Brazil from an extended chronological scope, also considering the bonds that united Brazil and Portugal after the political rupture.
