| Summary: |
This article analyses the discourse of the Gazeta Nacional newspaper circulated in the city
of Rio de Janeiro in the period prior to the signing of the Lei Áurea [�Golden Law�]
abolishing slavery in Brazil. It considers how the publication presented the criteria for
citizenship and also investigates the importance it attributed to liberalism. The newspaper
was subtitled Órgão Republicano [�Republican Organ�] and relied on participation from
leaders of the movement in the Court. Debates were published on different proposals for
the procedure for abolishing slavery with monarchists and those defending the republic
itself. Texts published in the Gazeta Nacional therefore reveal possible strategies for
releasing slaves and organising the post-abolition society conceived by members of the
1870 generation. Considering newspapers� contribution to the formation of the memory of an event through serving as a space for the exercise of power, this study focuses on an
object and a distinct source for an analysis of the end of the nineteenth century. |
