Eles est??o prontos a contribuir: guardas nacionais, hierarquias sociais e cidadania: Prov??ncia do Rio Grande do Sul ??? segunda metade do s??culo XIX

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a Guarda Nacional do Imp??rio do Brasil. Dando lugar especialmente aos homens que dela participavam, oficiais e soldados rasos, no interst??cio entre 1850 ? ano da lei que reformou a mil??cia ? e 1873 ? quando houve nova reformula????o normativa ?, intenta compreender fatores relativos ??s pr??ticas sociais e interfaces comportamentais de variados sujeitos em um contexto delimitado, cujo cen??rio ?? a antiga Col??nia Alem?? de S??o Leopoldo. Viv??ncias, comportamentos e estrat??gias di??rias s??o revelados, buscando, assim, margens e frestas de sistemas de controle da sociabilidade. Percorrendo fios e rastros das redes pol??ticas configuradas em uma ??rea de coloniza????o/imigra????o alem?? no Rio Grande de S??o Pedro oitocentista, volta-se, especialmente, a t??citos acordos entre autoridades locais, abordando a sociedade imperial em um corte vertical. O cotidiano dos cidad??os em armas ?? objeto-chave, especialmente quest??es de conflictividad, que revelam a militariza????o que moldou as malhas e teias que compunham aquela sociedade. Em suma, busca por regras nem sempre escritas que explicitam o modus operandi da mil??cia em complexas manobras de revela????o e obscurecimento normativo. Imigrantes naturalizados e descendentes de pioneiros, como sujeitos hist??ricos, tornam-se, portanto, homo politicus. Preocupa-se, finalmente, em desvelar jogos de coopera????es e conflitos, cuja an??lise debru??a-se sobre o oficialato miliciano.The purpose of this study is to analyze the National Guard during the Brazilian Empire. Considering mainly the men who participated in it, both officers and privates, during the period between 1850 ??? the year when the law to reform the militia was enacted ??? and 1873 ??? when the rules were again reformulated ??? it seeks to understand factors involving social practices and behavioral interfaces of various subjects in a delimited context whose scenario is the former German Settlement [???Col??nia Alem?????] of S??o Leopoldo. Experiences, behaviors and daily strategies are revealed, thus seeking edges and cracks in the systems that controlled sociability. Going along the ???threads??? and ???tracks??? of the political networks configured in an area of German settlement/immigration in the province of Rio Grande de S??o Pedro, during the 1800s, it looks especially at tacit agreements among the local authorities, approaching Imperial society through a vertical section. The daily life of the citizens-at-arms is a key object, especially issues of conflictiveness, which reveal the militarization that molded the meshes and webs that composed that society. In brief, it looks for not always written rules that spell out the modus operandi of the militia in complex maneuvers of normative revelation and concealment. Immigrants who became Brazilian citizens and descendents of pioneers, as historical subjects, thus become homo politicus. Lastly, it concerns itself with unveiling games of cooperation and conflict, whose analysis focuses on the militia officer??? corps
