Esculápios tropicais: a institucionalização da medicina no Pará, 1889-1919

Esta dissertação insere-se dentro de uma proposta que pretende recompor a história social da medicina no Pará sob uma nova perspectiva. Analisar a construção do poder e prestígio da medicina científica e dos médicos na sociedade paraense da virada do século XIX para o século XX é o principal objetivo deste trabalho. A intenção é mostrar que, longe de gozar de uma hegemonia no universo da cura e dispor de um poder imanente capaz de modelar a sociedade da época, os médicos ainda enfrentavam enormes dificuldade para legitimar sua ciência entre as mais diversas categorias sociais. Enquanto as autoridades republicanas, em nome da “Civilização” nos trópicos, seguiam com sua política de higienização do espaço urbano e combate às epidemias, a população paraense persistia na busca de alívio de suas mazelas nas tradicionais artes de curar. No entanto, se a medicina popular constitui-se em um dos maiores empecilhos para a afirmação dos médicos acadêmicos como senhores da cura, a desunião, a falta de ética e consenso no interior da classe médica não deixaram de ser alguns dos fatores marcantes do descrédito que pairava sobre a figura dos representantes da medicina oficial em plena República brasileira. Para enfrentar tantos problemas, os médicos, pouco a pouco, procuram superar suas diferenças e criaram regras e laços de solidariedade capazes de uni-los em torno de objetivos em comum, consolidando uma identidade de grupo que fortaleceu sua corporação e lutou pelo prestígio e poder que eles tanto almejavam.

Encampment time : an anthropological analysis of the land occupations in Brazil

In this article the social trajectory of a land occupation participant, an encamped woman (Edesmaria) who is a member of an extended landless family, is closely examined in order to demonstrate the inner workings of what is called 'the world of land occupations' in Brazil. Through a native expression (encampment time), it is demonstrated that nowadays, for some individuals, involvement in land occupations and landless workers' movements represents not just an opportunity to claim a parcel of land, but, even more importantly, a chance for social mobility and recognition. In this sense, encampment time is a social code and, as such, it not only quantifies the amount of time spent in a given encampment, but it is also a marker of prestige and status as well as a principle that organises and orders social relations in the land occupation world.

Usos não-padrão das estratégias de relativização no português brasileiro: hipercorreção e estilo

This study focuses on the current use of the relative pronoun qual and variants or alternatives (o/os/a/as/ qual/quais, preceded or not by prepositions) in Brazilian Portuguese concerning mainly on the phenomenon of hypercorrection. As a theoretical basis, it was used the study of William Labov about the phenomenon and also the rules of use of this pronoun present in both traditional grammars and linguistic studies. It was performed a qualitative analysis of a corpus of written language with the intention of describing the different uses of the pronoun, and looking for their possible motivations. There were also found different types of occurrences of hypercorrection, which has led to propose a scale of uses of this relative pronoun, which reveals an increasing loss of its functions towards an use as an index of prestige. It discusses also the stylistic factor as a potential motivator of this phenomenon

O léxico e a moda: anglicismos nas manifestações linguísticas do blog The Blonde Salad

Within the discussion of fashionblogs and their contributions to scientific studies, we start from the speech of Barthes (2006) about the relevance of the lexicon in the construction of Fashion and we met the theorists of Lexicology / Lexicography to define Anglicism (BIDERMAN, 2001), and the observation of its prestige in the Italian Language (ROGATO, 2008; BISETTO, 2003) and in the blog The Blonde Salad. Confronting this theoretical framework, we conducted a brief analysis of the anglicisms collected from posts of the first year of existence of such fashionblog, as a result of this work.

Escolarização de elites na perspectiva das famílias

We investigated strategies for children education of academic elites. Our study had as basis researches done in Brazil about the scholarization of elites’ groups during the last two decades. The theorical referential for the definition and the problematization of our object of study was based on Almeida and Nogueira’s works (2002), Bourdieu and Passeron (1975), Brandão and Lellis (2003), Busetto (2006), Lacerda and Carvalho (2007) and Nogueira (1998; 2002; 2005). We developed desk research on the pedagogical proposals of a high school in São Paulo state, its image among the society analyzed through advertising material and the application of semi-structured interviews with six families. The results shows that not only the educational but also the families goals in maintaining privileged positions in terms of children’s admission to universities and courses of high prestige, and the perpetuation of the condition in belonging to an elite group.

Entre bois e cabras: uma visão histórica sobre mentalidades e valores nos sertões

A culture of resistance in the semi-arid, expressed by mentalities and values, goes against the economic potential of sheep and goat raising, considered as an inferior activity when compared to the cattle raising, historically linked to social status and prestige. This paper attempts to shed light on aspects that make possible to clarify the roots of the cognitive apparatus that supports this view, resorting to it to the production of relevant authors dealing with the issue of displacement of colonizer and livestock in the hinterlands. Ultimately, it seeks evidence of the influence of the historical process of economic and social organization of space on the present.

O único luxo de um santo laico: fotografias em biografias de Clóvis Beviláqua

The jurist Clovis Bevilaqua (1859-1944) was a privileged member of a political and intellectual elite in the context of the transition from the nineteenth to the early decades of the twentieth century in this country, having been a professor at the Faculdade de Direito de Recife, author of the Civil Code of 1917, consultant for the Ministério das Relações Exteriores and jurist of international prestige, and literary critic and author of law, philosophy and history.Their biographies emphasize the breadth of his legal knowledge, the merits of civil codification which was author and lifestyle humble and generous earning him the nickname "secular saint". However, the lawyer had the habit of collecting photos of himself and of his family and this behavior is characterized as a single vanity for his biographers. From four biographies of Clovis Bevilaqua, written by Lauro Romero (1956), Raimundo de Menezes and Ubaldino de Azevedo (1959), Noemia Paes Barreto Brandão (1989) and Silvio Meira (1990), we intend to discuss how these images are used to illustrate the trajectory of the jurist and corroborate the distinct narratives models.
