Sumario: This article discusses the political and identity mobilization of history in the proccess of independence of Brazil, considering that the formation of the State and the emergence of the nation in the Brazil are two dimensions articulated in the context of crisis and overcome the Ancient Regime Portuguese in America. More specifically, we intend to discuss the discursive mobilization of the recent historical experience in the periodic press published in Brazil between 1821 and 1822. The text is guided by the hypothesis, inspired by the theoretical assertions of R. Koselleck, that as a project of independence is crystallized, the “colonial past” tended to lose its regulatory powers to the present, at the same time that there was an intense appreciation of the “recent past”. Seeks to demonstrate how this element, among other factors, legitimized and guided, in terms of discourse and identity, the process of independence of Brazil.
