The work also aims to fill a gap in the historiography, in which Cunha Barbosa image is linked mainly to political activity at the period of Independence of Brazil. The focus of research is on biographical writings of Cunha Barbosa as an important part not only of their individual literate production but also the historiographical project of IHGB to which this production has remained linked. I propose also aims to identify the categories of great man, genius and historical providentialism that are embedded in these biographical accounts, besides highlighting the pedagogical and moralizing function of these biographies, whose writing is in tune with the exemplary conception of history as well as the concern of its author to do this writing mode of a privileged form of access to the past of the nation. / Esta disserta??o tem como objetivo analisar as biografias elaboradas por Janu?rio da Cunha Barbosa, dentro do Instituto Hist?rico e Geogr?fico Brasileiro (IHGB), no per?odo de 1839 a 1846, momento em que desempenhou o cargo de primeiro secret?rio perp?tuo. O trabalho tamb?m pretende preencher uma lacuna dentro da historiografia, na qual a imagem de Cunha Barbosa est? atrelada principalmente ? atua??o pol?tica no momento de Independ?ncia do Brasil. O foco da investiga??o est? nos escritos biogr?ficos de autoria de Cunha Barbosa, como parte relevante n?o somente da sua produ??o letrada individual, mas tamb?m do projeto historiogr?fico do IHGB, ao qual essa produ??o manteve-se vinculada. Tamb?m proponho como objetivos identificar as categorias de grande homem, g?nio e de providencialismo hist?rico que est?o imbricadas nesses relatos biogr?ficos, al?m de evidenciar o car?ter pedag?gico e a fun??o moralizante dessas biografias, cuja escrita est? afinada com a concep??o exemplar de hist?ria, bem como a preocupa??o de seu autor em fazer desta modalidade de escrita uma forma privilegiada de acesso ao passado da na??o.
