Resumen
The subject of this article is the appropriations
of the history made by those who were against
the Pernambuco Revolution of 1817, at that
time called “counterrevolutionaries” or “royalists”. Firstly, It examines the different notions
of history and the historical experiences types
used in Brazil and Portugal around 1817. In a
second part, it analyzes the characters, facts,
periods, etc. of the profane and sacred history
appropriated by the counterrevolutionaries or
realists in their reports about the Revolution of
1817. It identifies a language (concepts, analytical procedures and even principles) clearly
inspired by the Enlightenment and, also, based
on the defense of the Royal Bragança dinasty,
using the ideas of fidelity to royalty and the vassal’s honor.
