O ouro branco abre caminho: o algodão e a modernização do espaço urbano da Cidade da Parahyba (1850-1924)

The present research deals with the modernization process of the Cidade da Parahyba2, between 1850 and 1924, and its relation with the cotton economy, which represented the main source of wealth accumulation for both the private and the public sectors throughout the First Republic. This study on urban history was developed by focusing on the understanding of the city s spatial formation, and despite its emphasis on the economic aspects involved, other factors that also contribute to the development of the social life were not put aside. The modernization process of the Cidade da Parahyba was also analyzed during the period established for the study according to a chronological and thematic approach that established comparisons with the financial situation of the State, whenever this was necessary, with special attention to the contribution of the cotton economy to the State´s revenues. It was possible to detect a lack of financial help and loans from the federal and municipal administrations for finishing several public works already underway in the capital, since the federal funds allocated to the State of Parahyba do Norte were rather employed in emergency works against droughts and in agricultural development. One can then conclude that the financial resources required for the urban interventions were withdrawn from the State s treasury itself, resources that were collected mainly from activities such as cotton exportation and cotton trading. Another factor shows the interdependence between the urban remodeling and the cotton economy: during the years marked by great droughts or by hard plagues on the cotton plantations, cotton production decreased, as well as the State s finances. The first measures taken by the State s administrators were to halt all projects of urban remodeling in progress in the Cidade da Parahyba, which was, clearly, the most privileged city by the State s presidents during the period analyzed. 2 The city of João Pessoa was named Cidade da Parahyba, a designation that remained until September 1930, when it received its present-day name in order to pay homage to the president of the State, João Pessoa Cavalcanti de Albuquerque, murdered in the city of Recife in August of that same year. At that time, the State of Paraíba was known as Parahyba do Norte. Since this work is limited to a period of time comprised within the First Republic, the names employed respect the terms used in those days

Habitação e modernização: Cidade Nova e maneiras de viver em Natal no início do século XX

Analyses the presence of new standards of habitation detected in the construction of the region called Cidade Nova, in the first s years of the XX century. Associates the presence of these new patterns with the historical moment lived by the capital, marked by the urban modernization and by the changes of local life. Map voices that, introduced by the republican groups since 1889, pronounced the overcome of the old city of the XIX century asseverated a new model of town.

Recognizes, from many ways, many discourses, manners of living that was legitimized by the changing of the XIX to the XX century and has his highest point in the 1920´s. And it was representative of the strong attachment about the habits of refinery and order in the essence of the private life of the local urban elites

Sobre pedras, entre rios: modernização do espaço urbano de Caicó/RN (1950/1960)

thèse de maîtrise, qui a été idealizée et exécutée à partir de la réunion et les relations dialogiques établies entre la géographie et l'histoire, et l'espace et le temps, a considéré l'environnement urbain comme le thème général et, comme la référence empirique, l'espace urbain de Caicó, incrusté dans les terres semi-arides du Sertão do Seridó Potiguar, plus précisément à la mi-sud de l'État du Rio Grande do Norte. Dans cet espace, à travers de recherche des fragments de mémoires acquis de diverses sources historiques, on a tenté de faire des investigations sur les transformations urbaines qui ont eu lieu dans la ville au cours des années 50 et 60 du XXe siècle. Ces transformations, dans l espace urbain de Caicó à un moment du pic de l'activité de développement de coton, reflétaient et conditionnaient les propres projets de modernization urbaine qui représentants des élites locales eurent conçu avec l'objectif de la construction d une ville idéal dans les regions isolées du Seridó: moderne, civilisé, progressive et capitale régionale du Seridó. Pour cette construction, les nouveaux équipements et services urbains ont passé du plan imaginaire à l espace réel, installés dans plusieurs quartiers de la ville en transformant le paysage urbain. Face à cette situation, cinémas, magasins, station de radio, énergie électrique, institutions de l'éducation, téléphonie, maison de soins infirmiers, usine de bénéficiement de coton, banques, politiques urbaines, hygiéniques et sanitaires, modes de comportement, sociabilités urbaines distincttes, parmi d'autres éléments géographiques se sont institués à travers la réalisation de certains idéaux de progrès social et dans un esprit de modernité urbaine, dans de nouveaux espaces et pratiques inventés, tramés et éprouvés sur les rochers et entre le cours d eau au milieu d'un quotidien urbain marqué par ruptures et permanence de certaines coutumes et habitudes antiques et de certains paysages et environnement ridé

"A Utopia do conhecimento químico e da engenharia urbana para a solução dos problemas das cidades do século XIX: o caso de Lisboa"

A modernização urbana do que se verificou nas principais cidades urbanas no século XIX foi marcada por dois fenómenos importantes. Por um lado pela criação de novas estruturas urbanas, e, por outro pelo desenvolvimento industrial. A concentração fabril contribuiu para o aumento da poluição do ar e criou problemas ambientais numa altura em que a higiene e salubridade dos espaços urbanos assumiam maior importância. Para tentar a poluição fabril ao longo do século XIX foi publicada uma serie de legislação. Por outro lado, os médicos, os químicos e os engenheiros tentaram propor soluções que diminuíssem a poluição provocada pelas fábricas ao mesmo tempo que procuraram implementar na cidade as modernas infraestruturas urbanas. O seu conhecimento do progresso da tecnologia permitiu-lhes compreender melhor a poluição produzida pela máquina a vapor ou por alguns processos industriais e propor soluções O objetivo desta comunicação é, tendo Lisboa como espaço de análise, abordar: os problemas ambientais provocados pelo desenvolvimento industrial; a forma como a legislação, engenheiros e cientistas tentaram controlar e contribuir para a resolução dos problemas ambientais.

O lazer em Volta Redonda-RJ: dos clubes sociorrecreativos vinculados a Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CSN) aos novos investimentos esportivos da prefeitura

A presente pesquisa busca compreender as transformações do lazer em Volta Redonda-RJ estabelecendo uma análise entre o lazer praticado e vivenciado na cidade com a CSN enquanto estatal e o atual momento de lazer no município que se dá através de ações empreendidas pelo poder público municipal. O lazer oferecido e fomentado pela CSN tinha como característica atender, preservar, recuperar e aumentar a capacidade de produzir do trabalhador apresentando características do momento industrial-fordista no Brasil com destaque para as atividades socioculturais e esportivos que acontecia principalmente nos clubes sociorrecreativos vinculados a empresa. Após a privatização da empresa, houve mudanças nas opções e formas de lazer do município em função da diminuição da presença da empresa na vida cultural da cidade e aumento da participação do setor público municipal no oferecimento das atividades de lazer para a população com características pós-industriais. Essas atividades estão em consonância com a modernização urbana empreendida pela prefeitura que busca deslocar a imagem da cidade vinculada a CSN ("cidade do aço") para uma cidade com boa qualidade de vida, com cidadania. Para isso, a prefeitura projeta uma cidade espetáculo através de projetos/programas e dos grandes eventos, principalmente os esportivos. Assim, as mudanças nos clubes sociorrecreativos ligados a CSN e o aumento dos investimentos da prefeitura em novos equipamentos de lazer, principalmente os esportivos, se relacionam com o tecido urbano do município sendo os dois principais aspectos das alterações de lazer na cidade. Entretanto, essas transformações não resultou em alterações na vivência do lazer para a população.

Guilhermino Cesar e Sistema do Imperfeito & outros poemas : sujeito e linguagem poética em tempos de caos e massificação

Leitura de Sistema do Imperfeito & Outros Poemas, livro de Guilhermino Cesar publicado em 1977. O perfil múltiplo do autor – professor, tradutor, historiador, jornalista, economista, escritor e pesquisador em diversas áreas do conhecimento – resulta numa poesia plurirrefencial, tocada por temas de sua época. Constatamos em Sistema do Imperfeito & Outros Poemas o privilégio de determinadas temáticas relacionadas com a tecnologia, a velocidade, a fragmentação, a sociedade massificada, o impacto (especialmente no que diz respeito ao Brasil) do caos urbano. Essa problemática fica mais evidente a partir da segunda metade do século XX: no Brasil, por um processo de intensa modernização urbana; em âmbito mundial, por uma espantosa difusão da influência dos meios de comunicação de massa. Esta leitura, articulada a partir de autores que pensaram as transformações sociais e culturais do século XX, volta-se para o Sistema do Imperfeito & Outros Poemas examinando a estrutura do livro e o conjunto de referências culturais e históricas mobilizadas pelo autor, pondo em relevo os recursos formais e a linguagem construída por Guilhermino Cesar.

As formas de morar na Belém da Belle-époque (1870-1910)

Em meados do século XIX, a capital do Pará começava a sentir as primeiras transformações urbanas decorrentes da riqueza da borracha. A partir do período de expansão da economia gomífera em 1870, esta conjuntura permitiu as intervenções e melhorias seguidas pelos ideais de modernidade, progresso e civilização, introduzidos pelo Poder Público na construção de uma Belém moderna, período que se estende até o final do ciclo, aproximadamente em 1910. Ao evocar-se a arquitetura do período a ser trabalhado, no senso comum, trata-se de se evidenciar o grande legado do ciclo da borracha, espelhada num processo ambientado em riquezas e oportunidades em que as casas passaram a ser construídas com uma arquitetura importada européia, tornando-se o próprio símbolo dessa modernidade. Mas, também, foram construídas casas que ameaçavam o projeto de modernização urbana criada para a nova Belém, e, por isso, tornou-se necessário a criação de algumas regras e medidas que impedissem ou retirassem as casas não-condizentes do núcleo central, forçando esses moradores a construir em áreas mais periféricas de Belém. Assim, podemos perceber que esta nova conjuntura permitiu a construção de novas e diferentes formas de morar, onde os recursos do morador seriam mais evidentes no partido arquitetônico de suas casas - das casas burguesas a populares. E entre esses dois extremos, encontravam-se as diversas formas de morar na Belém da belle-époque. Por este motivo, a casa torna-se um documento importante pelo qual poderemos compreender a influência de todos os fatores externos (econômicos, sociais, técnicos, culturais, políticas públicas, artísticos, espaciais, entre outros) em sua construção. O grande desafio, portanto, desta dissertação, é revelar a diversidade habitacional construída nas diferentes formas de morar durante o período em questão.

A organização da educação no território federal do Amapá: do "ideal" ao real, do liberal ao conservador (1943-1958)

The present study on “organization education on Amapá’s Federal Territory (1943-1958)”, looked forward to answering the following questions: Was there an educational policy, in a systemic way, on the former Amapá’s federal territory? On the other hand, what were the main initiatives of the first intervenors for the education dissemination? After facing these questions, we established, as hypothesis, that the developed actions in the education’s scope on that territory back in the 40’s and 50’s were not able to implant an educational project in Amapá, since there was no preoccupation to understanding the sociocultural reality of Amapá’s population. Given this hypothesis, we analyzed the relation between the political practices developed by the first intervenor on the territory and the brazilian political scenario, from the legal-administrative nature of the federal entities and political conjuncture of the “New State” (1937-1945). To achieve that, we sought some similarities between Janary Gentil Nunes’s ways of governing and Getúlio Vargas’s political actions. To make this happen, it was necessary to check official documents out, as well as unofficial ones, especially the old articles published by “Amapá”, the local newspaper, official press tool back then, which disseminated the beliefs and values of the constituted authorities, with the purpose of “strengthen” the “modernization” ideal on the people. Such practice was based on the attempt of breaking off sociocultural economic backwardness of the territory, hiding out the reality of the Amapá’s population, marked by poverty, a high illiteracy rate and the typical tropical diseases from Amazon (Malaria). During the rupture’s process between the old and the modern, the education takes on a major role in the official speech, being used as political advertisement and as essential element to the modernization and to the development of a “new man”: now “civilized”. However, the investigation on the expansion of the elementary education in Amapá, showed us the presence of a significant number of rural schools, in contradiction to the disseminated urban modernization promise around there. In this sense, we can affirm that educational policy on Amapá’s territory failed by reasons of being based on the “transplantation” of the Federal District’s educational project, and it is important to recall that, back then, the brazilian Federal District was Rio de Janeiro. Despite the public agents had established uncountable schools on rural areas, these were not carried out from a more systemic process, this is, considering the reality of the Amazon’s "cabloco". So, we observed the existence of the separation between the modern speech and the maintenance of old oligarchic practices by that time.
