Resumo: | In 1870, at age 11, Antônio Gonçalves de Carvalho left Portugal to follow his father to Brazil. The back and forth crossing of the Atlantic would become as central for Antônio’s life as it had been for his father and would continue to be for his son. The close reading of unexplored primary sources reveals how Portuguese and Brazilian nations merge into a syncretic identityexpressed in Antônio’s words: “I came to life in my parents’ idolized land, and I wish to leave life in my children’s adored land”. What can serve as a basis for national identities? The Carvalho family’s documents offer the possibility of a new perspective on a question that historiography has conventionally approached via race, ethnicity and religion. By decentering the usual categories and considering emotions instead, this work suggests that feelings of belonging may be a matter of practice rather than destiny. |

A travessia do Atlântico se tornaria tão central para Antônio quanto fora para seu pai e continuaria sendo para seu filho. A leitura atenta de fontes primárias inexploradas revela como as nações portuguesa e brasileira se fundem numa identidade sincrética expressa nas palavras de Antônio: “Vim para a vida na idolatrada terra de meus pais, e desejo deixar a vida na adorada terra de meus filhos”. O que pode servir de base para as identidades nacionais? Os documentos da família Carvalho oferecem a possibilidade de um novo olhar sobre uma questão que a historiografia tem abordado convencionalmente por meio de raça, etnia e religião. Ao descentralizar as categorias usuais e considerar as emoções, este trabalho sugere que os sentimentos de pertencimento podem ser uma questão de prática e não de destino.Câmara Municipal de Lisboa2023-03-15info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.48751/CAM-2023-19224https://doi.org/10.48751/CAM-2023-19224Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal; No. 19 (2023): Brazil: 200 years of Independence (1822-2022); 1-14Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal; Núm. 19 (2023): Brasil: 200 años de Independencia (1822-2022); 1-14Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal; No 19 (2023): Brésil : 200 ans d’indépendance (1822-2022); 1-14Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal; N.º 19 (2023): Brasil: 200 anos de independência (1822-2022); 1-142183-3176reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://cadernosarquivo.cm-lisboa.pt/index.php/am/article/view/224https://cadernosarquivo.cm-lisboa.pt/index.php/am/article/view/224/185Copyright (c) 2023 Marcia Esteves Agostinhoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAgostinho, Marcia Esteves2023-06-17T08:30:14Zoai:ojscadernosarquivo.cm-lisboa.pt:article/224Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:49:27.799979Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
