The literature on Brazilian politics makes broad and frequent use of the concepts of mandonismo, coronelismo, clientelismo, patrimonialism, and feudalism. However, the explanatory power of these concepts has been jeopardized by the imprecise (and at times contradictory) way in which they are often employed. The article points out how these terms are misused and suggests definitions that distinguish one concept clearly from another while accounting of their interrelationships. Each term is also linked to a specific historical moment.

O ARTIGO SUGERE o uso de conceitos e praticas relacionados a retorica como instrumento de analise para pensar a historia intelectual do Brasil. Historia intelectual e tomada em sentido estrito, isto e, como a historia de formas discursivas de pensamento, deixando de lado tanto a critica literaria como o que se tem convencionado chamar de nova historia cultural. Sera feita, de inicio, breve descricao do estado da historia intelectual no pais. A seguir sera discutida a tradicao retorica herdada de Portugal. Ao final, serao sugeridas maneiras de usar esta tradicao como chave de leitura para trabalhar textos brasileiros, sobretudo do seculo XIX.

At the time of its independence from Portugal in 1822 Brazil had a population of between 4 and 5 million (if the Brazilian Indians numbering perhaps as many as 800,000 are included). This relatively small population was scattered over a vast territory of over 3 million square miles, but remained heavily concentrated in an area within 200 miles of the Atlantic coast from the provinces of the north-east (with 40–45 per cent of the total population) to Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and the south. The only inland province with a significant population was Minas Gerais which had been the focus of the gold rush in the first half of the eighteenth century and which still accounted for 20 per cent of Brazils population, though most of it was located in the south of the province adjoining Rio. Some provinces of the interior like Mato Grosso had populations of less than 40,000. It was an overwhelmingly rural population. The largest city was the capital, Rio de Janeiro, with around 100,000 inhabitants, while the second largest city, Salvador (Bahia), the former capital, had 60,000, and half of the provincial capitals no more than 10,000 each. Conditions of health were very poor and average life expectancy low. The general level of education was also low. Education had never been a priority of Portuguese colonial policy. As late as 1872, when the first official figures became available, only a fifth of the free population was even literate.

Aspecto pouco estudado da luta contra a escravidao no Brasil e a relacao estabelecida entre Joaquim Nabuco e a Sociedade Britânica e Estrangeira Antiescravidao, sediada em Londres. A correspondencia entre Nabuco e Charles Harris Allen, secretario da Sociedade, e outros abolicionistas britânicos, ao longo da decada de 1880 e posteriormente, revela uma parceria conscientemente buscada por Nabuco para levar a luta ao plano internacional. As cartas fornecem uma nitida visao das dificuldades encontradas por Nabuco no Brasil e da poderosa ajuda que encontrou em Londres. Uma de suas principais dificuldades foi a acusacao a ele feita de falta de patriotismo a que ele respondeu afirmando a estreita relacao que via entre patria e civilizacao.

In July 2012, in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Graduate Program in Social History of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Topois Editorial Committee asked Francisco Falcon to write a short narrative about the origins and development of the program. This text was then sent to Jose Murilo de Carvalho and Marieta de Moraes Ferreira, who wrote their own reflexive memories drawing from the themes proposed by Francisco Falcon. We publish here this conversation among three scholars who not only took part in the building of PPGHIS, but who also helped to develop History graduate studies throughout Brazil.

A transformacao dos radicais liberais em republicanos, ocorrida a partir do Manifesto Republicano de 1870, provocou um retrocesso conservador e suspendeu o programa de reformas sociais e politicas, proposto pelos radicais durante a decada de 1860. Esse artigo tenta explicar essa mudanca examinando a formacao do campo conceitual republicano entre 1870 e a promulgacao da Constituicao de 1891.
