Nos doze anos de sua permanência (1809-1821), teve importante atuação política e deixou escrita uma história instigante, ao empenhar-se em obter soluções para salvaguardar a soberania do trono e a integridade do Império, dessa forma, participando dos episódios mais importantes da época. No Brasil, atravessou por momentos de extrema dificuldade, entretanto, conquistou o respeito devido aos seus esforços e chegou ao ponto mais alto da sua carreira política, fazendo parte do ministério de D. João VI, em 1821. / This thesis has the objective to understand the Brazilian trajectory of the Portuguese Silvestre Pinheiro Ferreira as statesman and man of letters of the 19th century, but not just focusing on the philosopher and politician who obtained the recognition of history, also its other facets, i.e., Professor, writer, the connoisseur of "useful arts", the diplomat etc. in their difficult and unusual crossing by Court of Rio de Janeiro.

Este estudo discute as transformações verificadas nas relações mercantis e sociais paulistas após a chegada da Corte portuguesa ao Rio de Janeiro. Assim, analisa o lugar ocupado por São Paulo e pelos grupos políticos paulistas no âmbito dos domínios portugueses, bem como identifica os nexos articuladores entre São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro, entre os anos de 1808 e 1822, questão central para a compreensão das bases sociais de sustentação do governo joanino e, posteriormente, do governo de D. Pedro. Partindo do caso paulista, busca problematizar as repercussões da abertura dos portos, assim como os modos como ela foi apreendida, evidenciando em que medida teria essa decisão efetivamente constituído um marco, do ponto de vista socioeconômico no Centro-Sul da colônia, seja em termos das relações entre os portugueses do Brasil e de Portugal, seja das vinculações com interesses britânicos. / This study analyzes the transformations in social and mercantile relations in Sao Paulo that followed the arrival of the Portuguese Court in Rio de Janeiro. Therefore, we sought to analyze the position occupied by Sao Paulo and its political groups in the Portuguese domains as well as to identify the contextual relation between Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro from 1808 to 1822, key to understanding the social bases that sustained D. Joaos government and the subsequent D. Pedros government. Considering the case of Sao Paulo, we discussed the consequences of the opening of the ports and how this process was understood, highlighting to which extent that decision was effectively a milestone from a socioeconomic perspective for the central-southern colony, whether in terms of the relations between the Portuguese from Brazil and Portugal or in terms of the connections with British interests.

This dissertation investigates the diverse ways in which the Portuguese language expanded in Brazil, despite the multilingual landscape that predominated prior to and after the arrival of the Europeans and the African diaspora. It challenges the assumption that the predominance of Portuguese was a natural consequence and foregone conclusion of colonisation. This work argues that the expansion of Portuguese was a tumultuous process that mirrored the power relations and conflicts between Amerindian, European, African, and mestizo actors who shaped, standardised, and promoted the Portuguese language within and beyond state institutions. The expansion of Portuguese was as much a result of state intervention as it was of individual agency. Language was a mechanism of power that opened possibilities in a society where ethnic, religious, and economic criteria usually marginalised the vast majority of the population from the colonial system. Basic literacy skills allowed access to certain occupations in administration, trading, teaching, and priesthood that elevated people’s social standing. These possibilities created, in most social groups, the desire to emulate the elites and to appropriate the Portuguese language as part of their identity. This research situates the question of language, identity, and power within the theoretical framework of Atlantic history between 1695 and 1822. Atlantic history contributes to our understanding of the ways in which peoples, materials, institutions and ideas moved across Iberia, Africa and the Americas without overlooking the new contours that these elements assumed in the colony, as they moved in tandem, but also contested each other. Focusing on the mining district of Minas Gerais for its economic and social importance, this dissertation draws on multiple ecclesiastical and administrative sources to assess how ordinary people and authoritative figures daily interacted with one another to shape the Portuguese language.
