ResumoThis text presents propositions and ramifications of an investigation on the historical understandings of the Portuguese colonization of America during the independence of Brazil; the research focuses on the analysis of the periodic press published in Brazil between 1821 and 1822. I intend to identify how references to a diversified past were unified by expressions such as "colonial" or other similar words. I aim to demonstrate that the history of the Portuguese colonization of America - understood as an special and specific trajectory regarding the history of Portugal - is forged and used as a political instrument in order to support projects of future that made possible the Brazilian independence.
