NEVES, Lucia Maria Bastos Pereira das. Educating is Civilizing: the Pedagogy of Periodicals and Political Pamphlets of the Brazilian Independence Period (1821-1824). Hist. Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.25, e106175.  Epub Sep 30, 2021. ISSN 2236-3459.  https://doi.org/10.1590/2236-3459/106175.

Large amounts of circumstantial printed material flooded the city of Rio de Janeiro between 1821 and 1824. Its intent was to inform the population on what the new terms associated with current ideas meant. They became instruments of intervention in what their authors perceived as a public space. This paper aims at identifying what their messages meant, clarifying their rhetorical arguments and also pointing out the factors that limited or prevented them from achieving their goals.

Keywords : Civic Pedagogy; Education and Independence; Civilization; Political Pamphlets; Periodicals.
