reflexões sobre sua formação a partir das Independências na América

Abstract

The article aims to raise some questions about how to think the history of
the State from the propositions presented by Juan Ruiz Pro in Almanack

of a State culture; secondly, considering the problem of the control of their
meanings while analytical category and in a cultural dimension. It takes as
privileged moment for discussion the Independence Era in America, and the
Brazil example of some analytics proposals.
