RESUMO

This essay studies the social path of the journalist José Carlos do Patrocínio (1853- 1905). Recognized as one of the epitomes of the abolítionist campaign in the imperial court, Patrocínio had an intense and complicated lífe within the press world in the end of the 19th centur.y. Besides being a journalist, a political critic, and writing feuilletons, he was also the owner and editor of two newspapers between the 1880 s and 1890 s. Profoundly involved both in the polítical and social questions of his time and in some polemical issues, Patrocínio is a key to access, I and comprehend some historical circumstances of that period. This analysis focuses not only on the debate on the abolition and campaign for the republic, but also - and main1y - on the personal experience of Patrocínio. Therefore, one of the core issues of the research is to recover and try to understand the paths that were effectively traced afid the possible ones to be followed by a poor, young, black son of a vicar and one of his slaves in a world marked by compulsory work. Gn the other hand, this thesis also aims at analysing a myriad of crystallized images about Patrocínioduring a process of contests and accommodations of memory. Gn this mater, a special attention was dedicated to the main bibliographic works and memories about him in a way to understand the mechanisms by which his "abolitionist" legend was eternalized on such works - being recovered also in the historiography
