| Summary: |
The article analyses political movements in the Maranhão captaincy - which became a
province in October 1821 based on the expectations generated by the Oporto Revolution,
victorious in August 1820. The Maranhão aligned itself to the revolution in April 1821 in a
movement captained by the governor himself, Bernardo da Silveira Pinto da Fonseca, who
was linked to the �ages of Absolutism�. Political disputes were henceforth catalysed by the
new constitutional stirrings, breathed in the squares and materialized in the press. Distinct
demands were dressed up as a polysemic constitutionalism, heterogeneous both in its
motives and practices. Such motives are explored with an emphasis on the reasons
behind the dissent expressed at the ballot boxes and in petitions, flyers and newspapers. |
