Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In the 1820s, Emperor Pedro I’s so-called Grito do Ipiranga (7 September 1822) was constructed as the proclamation of Brazilian independence, and thus the country celebrated its bicentennial in 2022. While some historians have sought the origins of Brazilian nationhood and independence in the late colonial period, scholars now emphasize that the transfer of the Portuguese monarchy from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro in 1807–1808, in flight from the French invaders, set off the processes that led to independence. Prince-Regent João (João VI after 1816) opened Brazilian ports to trade with friendly nations, thereby effectively ending colonial economic relations. He established institutions of governance for the Portuguese empire in Rio de Janeiro, created the Kingdom of Brazil in 1815, and cultivated close ties with the elite of merchants, planters, and slave traders in the new capital’s immediate hinterland. In 1817, the monarchy repressed a liberal conspiracy in Portugal and a liberal-republican rebellion in Pernambuco, but victorious Portuguese liberals established a constitutional regime in 1820 and recalled João VI. As provincial elites declared their loyalty to the new regime, João VI accepted the constitution and departed for Lisbon, leaving his eldest son, Pedro, as regent in Rio de Janeiro. While the Portuguese Cortes (parliament) sought to establish a unitary government for the Portuguese empire, those who had benefited from the institutions of governance created in Rio de Janeiro threw their support behind Pedro, who consolidated his power over the course of 1821–1822 and increasingly defied Lisbon. He gradually drew support from more distant provinces and formally broke with Lisbon in the second half of 1822 (he was acclaimed Emperor Pedro I on 12 October). Fighting between supporters of Lisbon and Pedro’s allies continued in many of the northern provinces, especially Bahia, until well into 1823, and elites in Pernambuco resisted the new regime until 1824. Pedro convened, then closed, a constituent assembly in 1823 but subsequently granted a constitution for the new empire. Significant popular mobilizations and important changes in political culture characterized these years. Since the 1820s, the history of Brazilian independence has been written largely by Brazilians, with very few contributions by foreign historians, an indication of the Brazilian academe’s autonomy and vibrancy. The new political history of this period, dominant since the turn of the millennium, moves away from the Marxist structuralist approaches that characterized Brazilian scholarship in the second half of the twentieth century.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
