RESUMO

This dissertation aims to analyze the productions by Carlos, possibly Carlos José do Rosário (1824-1855), and by O Velho, pseudonym of Joaquim Manuel de Macedo (1820-1882), published under the section ?Crônica da Quinzena? of Revista Popular (1859-1862), which has been the precursor to Jornal das Famílias (1863-1878). Both periodicals belonged to the French impresario Baptiste Louis Garnier (1823-1844). Due to the multiplicity of subjects noticed during the reading and the summarization of the ninety-three chronicles of the series which constitutes the theme of the present study, for analytical purposes, two main themes have been selected. The choice of these was grounded in the fact that both of them engender critical commentaries on the urge for affirmation of the nationalism in artistic and social manifestations from mid-nineteenth century Rio de Janeiro. Thus, the discussions presented about the corpus are confined to the first contributor?s rhetoric concerning the foreign fashion in Brazil and the second columnist?s discourse on the development of the national dramatic art in the 1800s. Such themes appear to be pertinent enough to support the hypothesis that nationalistic ideas are likely to have emanated from these writers, sometimes veiled by the ironical exaltation of the French fashion, sometimes manifested through the defense of the texts and participants in Brazilian literary life. The summaries of the retrieved material and the graphic depictions microfilmed during the research have been attached to this Dissertation as, besides having aided to delimit the analyses which were carried out, they can also be made available for other researchers as the systematization of a source of paramount importance to the study of the cultural aspects of Brazil when under monarchical rule. Moreover, they contribute to the investigation on the consolidation in Brazilian writing context of the genre to which all the collected texts belong ? the Chronicles
