Abstract

This paper presents some research results of the dissertation named A face of Jano: the navigation of the Amazon river and the brazilian State formation, presented in 2008. It analyzes, more specifically, the efforts made by the provincial government of Grão-Pará to enable the steam navigation of amazonian rivers located in its territory, in addition to discussing the measures taken by the central sphere of power. By doing so, it intends to indicate that the provincial governments had a relative autonomy in its relations with the central power, at least regarding to its ability to address the demands they considered fundamental to the development of the region under its jurisdiction.
