Abstract

The nineteenth century witnessed a great development in the production of periodical press. Given the centrality and importance of press in this century, those research aims to analyze the magazine “A Illustração Luso-brazileira”, taking it here as a research object and source to think the Portuguese nationalism. From this proposal we intend to understand the performance of this publication as historical protagonist and diffusing of a nationalist discourse in early juncture of regeneration in Portugal (1851). We reflect further on the possible purpose behind the Luso-Brazilian publications, given the fact that, despite the suggestive title, they speak little of the Brazilian nation. Another issue addressed referred to the review of contributions to the debate on the Iberian issue, a controversial issue and gained momentum in the discussions between the intellectuals of the period. Likewise, we deal with the weekly contribution in spreading a thought seeking the formation of the national Portuguese identity in reaction to the Iberian nationalism, heralded by some writers. It is a privileged moment to think about these issues, since the publication has, as a backdrop, the romantic context and quarrel about unity, or not, of Portugal with Spain. (AU)
