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.

Da Mereba-ayba à Varíola: isolamento, vacina e intolerância popular em Belém do Pará, 1884 -1904

Esta dissertação procura desvendar como o crescimento da cidade de Belém, ao longo do século XIX, provocou ou ampliou problemas já existentes, entre os quais o da saúde pública, destacando-se o desencadeamento de frequentes epidemias de varíola. Em termos de temporalidade o destaque foi dado à segunda metade do século XIX, quando foi intenso o debate acerca da necessidade de modernizar a cidade, sendo que o projeto modernizador em questão foi fortemente marcado pelos preceitos excludentes da Ciência da Higiene. Assim, o foco da pesquisa foi o período entre 1884 e 1904, marcado pela eclosão de três epidemias de varíola, em Belém. O objetivo principal do trabalho foi demonstrar as razões da intolerância popular às profilaxias e práticas terapêuticas encaminhadas pelo poder público, principalmente a política de isolamento baseada no discurso higienista e, também, a vacina. A experiência desenvolvida pela população de Belém com essas profilaxias oficias, ao longo do século XIX, foi bastante negativa, propiciando a conduta aversiva desta.

Cheret X Lautrec: tradição e modernidade na arte do cartaz.

Through the comparison between the work circus advertisements of Jules Cheret and Toulouse Lautrec, is it possible to trace a suggestive panorama of the clash that gave at the end of the 19TH century. 19TH CENTURY between the academic tradition and the innovations of modern art. Results from a combination of elements very characteristic, such as the brevity of the design associated with the use of flat areas of contrasting colors and words in italic in different types, the poster will be the most effective and popular means iconic-graph in this period, taking to assault the streets of major cities.

A magia desencantada: Henry James e o caso de "Os amigos dos amigos"

Por meio do exame do conto "Os amigos dos amigos" ("The friends of the friends"), de Henry James, bem como de seu processo de criação, este trabalho investiga a categoria do duplo confrontando as suas fontes primitivas com sua adoção na narrativa moderna - um confronto que nos permite sugerir uma chave de interpretação para a ficção jamesiana, e ainda discutir a presença do sobrenatural numa sociedade que privilegia o espetáculo, a publicidade, a novidade, o consumo e o progresso.

Traces de terre, traces d'encre... La rappresentazione dello spazio nella letteratura caraibica. (Francofona e Anglofona)

This study concerns the representation of space in Caribbean literature, both francophone and Anglophone and, in particular, but not only, in the martinican literature, in the works of the authors born in the island. The analysis focus on the second half of the last century, a period in which the martinican production of novels and romances increased considerably, and where the representation and the rule of space had a relevant place. So, the thesis explores the literary modalities of this representation. The work is constituted of 5 chapters and the critical and methodological approaches are both of an analytical and comparative type. The first chapter “The caribbean space: geography, history and society” presents the geographic context, through an analysis of the historical and political major events occurred in the Caribbean archipelago, in particular of the French Antilles, from the first colonization until the départementalisation. The first paragraph “The colonized space: historical-political excursus” the explores the history of the European colonization that marked forever the theatre of the relationship between Europe, Africa and the New World. This social situation take a long and complex process of “Re-appropriation and renegotiation of the space”, (second paragraph) always the space of the Other, that interest both the Antillean society and the writers’ universe. So, a series of questions take place in the third paragraph “Landscape and identity”: what is the function of space in the process of identity construction? What are the literary forms and representations of space in the Caribbean context? Could the writing be a tool of cultural identity definition, both individual and collective? The second chapter “The literary representation of the Antillean space” is a methodological analysis of the notions of literary space and descriptive gender. The first paragraph “The literary space of and in the novel” is an excursus of the theory of such critics like Blanchot, Bachelard, Genette and Greimas, and in particular the recent innovation of the 20th century; the second one “Space of the Antilles, space of the writing” is an attempt to apply this theory to the Antillean literary space. Finally the last paragraph “Signs on the page: the symbolic places of the antillean novel landscape” presents an inventory of the most recurrent antillean places (mornes, ravines, traces, cachots, En-ville,…), symbols of the history and the past, described in literary works, but according to new modalities of representation. The third chapter, the core of the thesis, “Re-drawing the map of the French Antilles” focused the study of space representation on francophone literature, in particular on a selected works of four martinican writers, like Roland Brival, Édouard Glissant, Patrick Chamoiseau and Raphaël Confiant. Through this section, a spatial evolution comes out step by step, from the first to the second paragraph, whose titles are linked together “The novel space evolution: from the forest of the morne… to the jungle of the ville”. The virgin and uncontaminated space of the Antilles, prior to the colonisation, where the Indios lived in harmony with the nature, find a representation in both works of Brival (Le sang du roucou, Le dernier des Aloukous) and of Glissant (Le Quatrième siècle, Ormerod). The arrival of the European colonizer brings a violent and sudden metamorphosis of the originary space and landscape, together with the traditions and culture of the Caraïbes population. These radical changes are visible in the works of Chamoiseau (Chronique des sept misères, Texaco, L’esclave vieil homme et le molosse, Livret des villes du deuxième monde, Un dimanche au cachot) and Confiant (Le Nègre et l’Amiral, Eau de Café, Ravines du devant-jour, Nègre marron) that explore the urban space of the creole En-ville. The fourth chapter represents the “2nd step: the Anglophone novel space” in the exploration of literary representation of space, through an analytical study of the works of three Anglophone writers, the 19th century Lafcadio Hearn (A Midsummer Trip To the West Indies, Two Years in the French West Indies, Youma) and the contemporary authors Derek Walcott (Omeros, Map of the New World, What the Twilight says) and Edward Kamau Brathwaite (The Arrivants: A New World Trilogy). The Anglophone voice of the Caribbean archipelago brings a very interesting contribution to the critical idea of a spatial evolution in the literary representation of space, started with francophone production: “The spatial evolution goes on: from the Martiniques Sketches of Hearn… to the modern bards of Caribbean archipelago” is the new linked title of the two paragraphs. The fifth chapter “Extended look, space shared: the Caribbean archipelago” is a comparative analysis of the results achieved in the prior sections, through a dialogue between all the texts in the first paragraph “Francophone and Anglophone representation of space compared: differences and analogies”. The last paragraph instead is an attempt of re-negotiate the conventional notions of space and place, from a geographical and physical meaning, to the new concept of “commonplace”, not synonym of prejudice, but “common place” of sharing and dialogue. The question sets in the last paragraph “The “commonplaces” of the physical and mental map of the Caribbean archipelago: toward a non-place?” contains the critical idea of the entire thesis.

Evolutionary tendencies in flowers of Marantaceae with special reference to the style movement mechanism

One of the quickest plant movements ever known is made by the ´explosive´ style in Marantaceae in the service of secondary pollen presentation – herewith showing a striking apomorphy to the sister Cannaceae that might be of high evolutionary consequence. Though known already since the beginning of the 19th century the underlying mechanism of the movement has hitherto not been clarified. The present study reports about the biomechanics of the style-staminode complex and the hydraulic principles of the movement. For the first time it is shown by experiment that in Maranta noctiflora through longitudinal growth of the maturing style in the ´straitjacket´ of the hooded staminode both the hold of the style prior to its release and its tensioning for the movement are brought about. The longer the style grows in relation to the enclosing hooded staminode the more does its capacity for curling up for pollen transfer increase. Hereby I distinguish between the ´basic tension´ that a growing style builds up anyway, even when the hooded staminode is removed beforehand, and the ´induced tension´ which comes about only under the pressure of a ´too short´ hooded staminode and which enables the movement. The results of these investigations are discussed in view of previous interpretations ranging from possible biomechanical to electrophysiological mechanisms. To understand furthermore by which means the style gives way to the strong bending movement without suffering outwardly visible damage I examined its anatomical structure in several genera for its mechanical and hydraulic properties and for the determination of the entire curvature after release. The actual bending part contains tubulate cells whose walls are extraordinarily porous and large longitudinal intercellular spaces. SEM indicates the starting points of cell-wall loosening in primary walls and lysis of middle lamellae - probably through an intense pectinase activity in the maturing style. Fluorescence pictures of macerated and living style-tissue confirm cell-wall perforations that do apparently connect neighbouring cells, which leads to an extremely permeable parenchyma. The ´water-body´ can be shifted from central to dorsal cell layers to support the bending. The geometrical form of the curvature is determined by the vascular bundles. I conclude that the style in Marantaceae contains no ´antagonistic´ motile tissues as in Mimosa or Dionaea. Instead, through self-maceration it develops to a ´hydraulic tissue´ which carries out an irreversible movement through a sudden reshaping. To ascertain the evolutionary consequence of this apomorphic pollination mechanism the diversity and systematic value of hooded staminodes are examined. For this hooded staminodes of 24 genera are sorted according to a minimalistic selection of shape characters and eight morphological types are abstracted from the resulting groups. These types are mapped onto an already available maximally parsimonious tree comprising five major clades. An amazing correspondence is found between the morphological types and the clades; several sister-relationships are confirmed and in cases of uncertain position possible evolutionary pathways, such as convergence, dispersal or re-migration, are discussed, as well as the great evolutionary tendencies for the entire family in which – at least as regards the shape of hooded staminodes – there is obviously a tendency from complicated to strongly simplified forms. It suggests itself that such simplifying derivations may very likely have taken place as adaptations to pollinating animals about which at present too little is known. The value of morphological characters in relation to modern phylogenetic analysis is discussed and conditions for the selection of morphological characters valuable for a systematic grouping are proposed. Altogether, in view of the evolutionary success of Marantaceae compared with Cannaceae the movement mechanism of the style-staminode complex can safely be considered a key innovation within the order Zingiberales.
