No contexto brasileiro oitocentista, ainda bastante configurado a partir da lógica do direito comum, a praxe judicial, em seu diálogo com os textos chamados "doutrinários" e "pragmáticos" 13 , foi central na criação, interpretação e consolidação de normas a respeito das relações entre pessoas e coisas. Como mencionei, a arquitetura normativa do direito comum estava baseada, sobretudo, em textos jurídicos que apresentavam soluções para problemas concretos.…”

This article analyzes how the legal category of possession acquired specific meanings in nineteenth-century Brazil. I analyze 27 lawsuits that were filled before the Court of Appeals of Rio de Janeiro, between 1835 and 1889. In the first section, I present the case of "Fazenda Patrimônio", which narratively conducts the article. Then, I analyze the circulation of normativities in the Lusophone Atlantic and I show how ownership was the central legal category in land conflicts that reached the courts of the Brazilian Empire. Finally, I describe the legal category "agregados" and discuss how interpretations given to this institute by Brazilian jurists excluded the possibility that certain social groups had their rights over a piece of land recognized and protected.

The Atlantic's Dangerous UndercurrentsThis chapter explores the emergence and application of the theory that the revolutionary ideals of autonomy, liberty, and freedom that animated the age of revolution were not only a point of celebration for patriots and liberals across the Atlantic world, but also a cause for apprehension and vigilance. The powerful currents of radical individualism and personal autonomy that circulated during the fi nal quarter of the eighteenth century did not decelerate after the inauguration of republics in 1776 or 1789. They continued, and once the racial limits to the supposedly universal discourses of freedom and liberty became increasingly central to the practical implementation of new political arrangements in the North Atlantic -and superbly confi rmed by the nonrecognition of Haiti (politically and intellectually) -these currents, when appropriated by those increasingly outside history, became dangerous undercurrents. However, the circulation of these ideas, or rather the circulation of the notion that these ideas were truly universal, was not necessarily understood or conceptualized as occurring. The dangerous undercurrents of the revolutionary (black) Atlantic only became visible, only became defi nable and preventable, as the racial limits of autonomy and political modernity became inscribed in American political, social, and legal life. In other words, identifying the dangerous undercurrents of Atlantic history was a process, pieced together as various places wrestled with the highly variable application of the age of revolution's central tenets to nonwhite peoples.These processes were spatialized. Many nineteenth-century white Americans interpreted the push for liberty by American revolutionaries as an internal, naturally evolving process running along a general pathway towards, depending on the person, the Constitution, the millennium, or Jacksonian Democracy. But this process of internalization of revolutionary "success" on the American scene occurred with a simultaneous externalization of black revolutionary ideologies. For many white Americans, black revolutionaries came from terms of use, available at https://www.cambridge.org/core/terms.
