Abstract

This paper deals with the process of building the national identity of Brazil during the period that followed the Proclamation of Independence. Thus, it focuses special attention on the social, cultural and political phenomena that occurred during the context of the First and Second Reigns in Brazil, a historical period commonly known as Brazil Empire, and which were essential to the elaboration of the idea of Brazil. Therefore, it consists of the study of works and academic papers related to the theme and reflections on the subject. Therefore, the research has a bibliographical, historical and documental nature, under a substantially qualitative methodological approach. It is from the aforementioned context that the analysis of the emergence of the notion of brasility in this period is carried out.
