SUMMARY:

This thesis aims to understand languages within their social and political context in the
19th century, especially in Pernambuco. It also analyzes the networks, power relations,
political discourse and intellectual production of these bachelors. For this investigation,
we sought to analyze the work of two legal and political actors who were very prominent
in Pernambuco's public arena during the Regency Period and the Second Reign: Jerônimo
Villela de Castro Tavares (1815-1869) and Joaquim Villela Tavares (1816-1858).
Graduates of the first classes of the Olinda Legal Course, they were involved in the events
of the province and also in the political discussions in the General Assembly and were
also professors at the aforementioned educational institution. Based on these characters,
we will relate the Brazilian norms of the 19th century and their tension with the
monarchical system, such as the weakening of absolutism and the transformations of
liberalism; Analyze the legal culture of the 19th century, correlating it with the speeches
of the bachelors and their behavior towards other social groups; Investigate the role of the
Vilella Tavares brothers in the Praieira Insurrection and their positions within the
conservative and liberal parties; and analyze the intellectual production of the Vilella
Tavares through their works, writings and as professors at the Olinda Law School. The
thesis begins with the Pernambuco Revolution of 1817 and ends with the death of
Jerônimo Villela de Castro Tavares in 1869. The theoretical inspiration for the work lies
in the reflections developed by John Pocock on the examination of political texts
produced in other eras. To reach our conclusions, we used documents from the Recife
Law School Archive, the Recife Public Archive, the archives found on the websites of
the Chamber of Deputies and the Brazilian Federal Senate, where the Annals of the
Brazilian Parliament were analyzed, the Digital Library of the National Library, and its
various periodicals and documents from the 19th century.
