Abstract

The political dimension of the public manifestations that happened in the streets of Rio de Janeiro between 1820 and 1840, at the same time considered as city and Court, points out to changes that were occurring in the public spaces during the transition from absolutism to political modernity. The different occupations of the commerce quarters. squares and public places expressed a "dispute" for the prominence of the pólis — political interferences that were delimited by the urban scene predominantly traditional and at the same time tried to interfere and transform it.
