SUMMARY:

Officially established under imperial protection in 1825, the Sociedade Auxiliadora da Industria Nacional, although influenced by heterogeneous political, economic, and scientific projects, played a relevant role in the articulation between palace elites and urban middle sectors in the formation of national industries throughout the 19th century. In this context, this work investigates the impact of universal expositions on the production and circulation of technical-scientific knowledge and on the development of technologies in 19th-century Brazil, based on the analysis of the periodical O Auxiliador da Indústria Nacional, the institution's official publication. Based on documentation produced by members of the institution, the strategies mobilized to foster productive modernization are examined, with special attention to the popularization of technical-scientific knowledge and the evaluations arising from the participation of Brazilian representatives in international expositions held between 1862 and 1869. Finally, it seeks to understand how such events operated as spaces for comparison, legitimization of technical-scientific knowledge, influencing development projects and redefining parameters of progress, science, and agriculture in the Empire.
