Lugares e pessoas do cinema na Madeira: apontamento para a história do cinema na Madeira de 1897 a 1930

O trabalho que se apresenta surge no âmbito do Mestrado em “Arte e Património, no Contemporâneo e Actual”. O assunto tratado é a história do cinema na Madeira, desde o seu aparecimento até ao final da década de vinte do século XX. A principal fonte usada foi a imprensa regional, uma vez que existem poucos estudos sobre o tema. Esta foi estudada entre Março de 1895 e Dezembro de 1930. Dada a extensão temporal estudada e alguns problemas técnicos (envio para microfilmagem, de algumas publicações, em Lisboa), a análise não foi tão exaustiva quanto o pretendido. Os jornais foram seleccionados de forma aleatória e de acordo com a sua disponibilidade no Arquivo Regional da Madeira. No primeiro capítulo faz-se um enquadramento histórico do assunto a estudar, onde se caracteriza a época e se analisa os primórdios do cinema de forma geral na Europa e em Portugal e, de modo mais específico, na Madeira. O segundo capítulo é relativo à exibição de filmes na Ilha, sendo esta análise efectuada para as décadas em estudo. O terceiro capítulo trata a produção cinematográfica na Madeira, onde são referidos os principais nomes de realizadores e/ou produtores locais e se apresenta uma listagem de filmes realizados e/ou produzidos por madeirenses ou filmados na Região.

António Nobre e o simbolismo em Portugal

Nesta dissertação são analisados alguns poemas de Só com o intuito de tentar compreender e verificar eventuais contributos de António Nobre para o Simbolismo em Portugal. Ao longo da nossa investigação, daremos uma particular atenção a alguns dos temas mais recorrentes na obra de António Nobre: a Solidão, a Angústia e a Morte. Sabemos que existem outras temáticas sobre as quais faremos uma breve referência; contudo, por se tratar de um vasto campo de possibilidades, limitámos o número de temas a desenvolver no presente trabalho. Veremos de que modo a última década do século XIX foi marcada, no continente Europeu, por um movimento de reação ao cientismo e ao naturalismo, bem como ao ambiente espiritual surgido em Portugal pelas mãos dos «Vencidos da Vida», cujo especial relevo terá sido atribuído a António Nobre. Verificaremos de que modo Só poderá emergir como uma obra de cariz confessional tendo tido na época o objetivo de abalar os cânones tradicionais em vigor. Só apresenta-se, entre outras possibilidades, como a expressão da história de fracassos e de fadigas do povo lusitano que cultiva o sentimento amargo da saudade, uma obra que dá a ver o retrato de Portugal do século XIX e, assim, a identidade do povo que vê Portugal decair.

A mediação entre o público e o museu através das ferramentas informáticas de utilizadores: o caso do Museu de História Natural do Funchal

Este projeto estuda as possibilidades de utilização das tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) e desenvolve uma proposta de divulgação virtual do Museu de História Natural do Funchal [MHN-Funchal], a partir da criação de artefactos digitais. De emprego comum por parte de técnicos de museus, as ferramentas informáticas poderão ser criadas sem recurso a especialistas na matéria, o que se afigura, desde logo uma mais-valia. Para responder às perguntas - como e porquê usar ferramentas informáticas de utilizadores, na organização de visitas guiadas num museu? - Estudámos o que pensam os peritos sobre este assunto. Completamos essa investigação com um inquérito aos visitantes. Comparamos o Museu Virtual e o Museu físico argumentando com as vantagens da utilização destes dois conceitos complementares. No final implementaremos um protótipo como prova das nossas conclusões.

Universidade inclusiva e o aluno com necessidades especiais: a investigação realizada em Portugal

A presente investigação tem como objetivo principal contribuir para a reflexão e sensibilização das NEE no Ensino Superior, através da sistematização da investigação científica realizada em Portugal, nos últimos anos. Pretende-se, assim, contribuir para um maior conhecimento desta realidade no nosso país. Para o efeito, procedeu-se a um levantamento bibliográfico dos documentos disponíveis na área das NEE no ES em três bases de dados: RCAAP (Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto em Portugal); B-On (Biblioteca de Conhecimento Online) e o motor de busca Google. Após a consulta das bases de dados, foram encontrados trinta e cinco documentos, distribuídos em oito Teses (seis Teses de Mestrado e duas Teses de Doutoramento), onze artigos em Revista (dez artigos em Revista Nacional e um artigo em Revista Internacional), quinze Documentos em Conferência e um Capítulo de Livro. Os dados recolhidos permitem perceber que, paulatinamente, a questão das NEE no Ensino Superior tem despertado o interesse dos investigadores, sendo uma área onde a possibilidade e necessidade de mais estudos é uma realidade.

A educação destina a algumas crianças no Piauí (1730 1859)

L'histoire culturelle de l'éducation de l'enfant dans le Piauí, de l'année de 1730 à l'année de 1859, je mange écriture dans ce travail de thèse, est motivé dans l'analyse sócio-histórica de la forme scolaire à la lumière des théorisations des historiens Gui Vincent, Bernard Lahire et Daniel Thin, avec l'objectif de refléter concernant le passage d'instauration de la socialisation des enfants dans les écoles publiques, religieuses, particulières et domestiques. La recherche concernente à la thématique éducation de l'enfant dans leurs conceptions politiques et culturelles levou-em à définir, je mange objet d'étude, les manières d'instruire les enfants dans l'(s) école (s) et dans la (s) famille (s). La thèse du travail ici défendu est de que l'éducation destinée aux enfants dans le Piauí, dans la période de 1730 à 1859, était soumise aux acquisitions des habilités de lecture et d'écriture, principalement, analogue à leurs conceptions politiques et culturelles. La judicieuse recherche de corpus documentaire (licences, avertissements, troupeaux, lettres, correspondances, consultations, métiers, règlements, régiments, rapports, lois, dispositions, cartes scolaires, cartes d'inscriptions) pour l'écriture de la thèse il se procède nous quantités formulaires et digitales du Portugal, Brésil, Pará, Maranhão et Piauí. L'analyse de l'ensemble des sources nous a permis de comprendre que la socialisation scolaire de l'enfant dans le Piauí n'a pas maintenu le mêmes façons pendant cette longue période qui a été de 129 ans, malgré des récurrences, celui-là a acquis des formes et des sens divers qui variaient comme les circonstances politiques et culturelles, les exigences du commerce, les espaces et les sujets qui l'ont vécue intensément

Guiando almas femininas: a educação protestante da mulher em impressos confessionais no Brasil e em Portugal (1890-1930)

This paper treats confessional printings as a non formal space for the female education. It reflects on the importance of the woman s role to the diffusion of Protestantism in general, and its Presbyterian trend in particular, besides commenting on the proliferation of printings at the First Republic and its relation with education. In this study, Brazilian Northeastern is seen as a relevant space to the diffusion of Protestantism in Brazil; especially on what concerns the relations between Rio Grande do Norte and Pernambuco. Thereby some fountains were fundamental, as the confessional printings, that is, newspapers, magazines, prospects and other materials recollected in archives located in Natal/RN and Recife/PE, and São Paulo. It was also provided a brief incursion on Portuguese confessional printings kept in Oporto, PT. New Cultural History was chosen as theoretic-methodological guide, franchising ways inside the history of book and reading with the help of concepts like Interdependence, Social Configuration (ELIAS, 1993, 1994) and Representation (CHARTIER, 1990), considering that the survey worked out culture-manufactured products that is, intentional materials. It is well known that publishing, or better, the dissemination of printed material used to be associated to Protestants missionary practices since Reform began and, as what concerns the investigated period, in Portuguese and Brazilian lands indistinctly. Printing material in general books, booklets, fragments, as well as the press itself played a central role in divulging reformed ideas, their social options and the means of being and intervening in the world. In this regard, the confessional printings established themselves as an educative, although non schooled, informal space, but, all considered, relevant, seen that they dialogue with another important demand of that social group: formal, literate education. Because it dealt with the diffusion of a printed culture supported by the written word, it required of that group a different modus operandi: formal education. The first letters schools at first, then the high schools later represented spaces established for the circulation of printing material in order that they should be read, divulged and comprehended. This survey intends at last to take a look at Protestantism which, in this context of self-affirmation, reserved a specific place to woman by working out a non formal educational proposal disseminated by printing material. Three models were highlighted in the reformed proposal: Christian education in itself, household education, whose references of motherhood and care towards the neighbor were present and, at last, education to the public space, with emphasis on the practice of teaching. This study also offers a brief dialogue between Brazil and Portugal because, when some periodic printing, book or something like that got to be published in one margin of the Atlantic Ocean, the other margin surely was affected by that feat, received it, divulged it, corroborating the argument in support of the circulation of these printings. It was not only the same language that survived in both maritime coasts; some protestant specificities also crossed out along that sea

Cartas oficiais norte-riograndenses dos séculos XVIII, XIX e XX : constituição e caracterização de um corpus diacrônico

The diachronic studies marked the first decades of the 20th century in Brazilian linguistics, passing by an ostracism period after the 50s. Mainly from the 90s especially with the project, created in 1997, Para a história do português brasileiro (PHPB), which has systemized, in national ambit, the programme related to the area of diachrony the historical studies retake forces and have gradually increased since then. Our work is set in the new scene of Brazilian historical linguistics and it is associated to two research programmes: i) the constitution of a diachronic corpus; ii) the diachrony of text and discourse. As regards the first programme, we made effort to constitute a diachronic corpus of official letters about Rio Grande do Norte, we called cartas oficiais norte-rio-grandenses, written in 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. The chosen for bureaucrat letters occurred for they represent a textual category very productive in historical contexts, mostly 18th and 19th centuries, in which the command of writing was the least and also because they bring, almost always explicitly, the information of where, when, for whom and from whom, as remembers Fonseca (2003). The rules for constituting the corpus were based, although not strictly, on the orientation from PHPB. In respect to the second programme, we set up on the ideas of coserian base came from the studies on discourse traditions (TD) (Koch, 1997; Kabatek, 2006) amongst which that the texts are shaped so as to follow their own tradition (Coseriu, 2007), and we turned to Diplomatics (Belloto, 2002) in order to do the characterization of this corpus by the application of concepts from Diplomatics and TD as well as by the presentation of the structures that form those official letters: their textual genres, a kind of TD, with their macrostructures; and some of their formulaic expressions (microstructures), another sort of TD. This stage of characterizing will pay attention, as far as possible, to the dynamic between tradition and innovation that happen in the actualization of those textual structures along the centuries. This work intends to contribute with the researches connected to Historical Linguistics in Rio Grande do Norte, more specifically the ones related to the constitution of diachronic corpora and to TD; and with the study of official documents, textual category about which there are almost no studies (cf. Silveira, 2007)

Construções com tópico marcado em cartas pessoais brasileiras dos séculos XVIII, XIX E XX

This dissertation is a research on the marked topic construction (CT) in Brazilian personal letters from eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The goal of our research is to verify if CT are present in the writing of Brazilians born in the centuries in question. Our research focus is based on the assumptions of generative theory (CHOMSKY 1981; 1986), which states that grammar is internalized in the mind / brain of the writers, with the emphasis on studies of grammatical change, as pointed texts by Paixão de Sousa (2004), Carneiro (2005); Galves, Namiuti and Paixão de Sousa (2006) and Martins (2009). Our corpus was extracted from Projeto Para a História do Português Brasileiro (PHPB) and Cartas Brasileiras coletânea de fontes para o estudo do português. We selected forty-six correspondents who should be inserted into the two criteria set out in this research: to be Brazilian and be born in the centuries mentioned above, so that we could find legitimate topic constructions of PB. This work is based on researches by Pontes (1987), Mateus et al. (2003), Araujo (2006, 2009), Berlinck, Duarte and Oliveira (2009), which actively support us in the study of this linguistic phenomenon in Portuguese. The results show that the marked topic construction in our corpus appear on the writing of Brazilians since the second half of the eighteenth century, while the typical constructions in Brazilian Portuguese locative topic, subject topic and copy topic - are already reflected in the I-language of the writers born in the second half of the nineteenth century and the first of the twentieth century

O sertão vai para o Além-Mar : a relação centro e periferia e as fábricas de couro em Pernambuco nos setecentos

This thesis focuses on the economic relations in the interior of the Portuguese America, more specifically in Pernambuco Captancy in the 17th Century, concerning the discussion about center-periphery relationship and also the context of Brazilian colonial history. In addition, it portrays the exportations of leather to Portugal, their consequences in the Captaincy of Pernambuco and the businessmen involved in the trade and manufacturing of that product. In order to accomplish this work, manuscripts of Arquivo Histórico Ultramarino (Ultramarine Historical Archives), colonial narratives and maps of the mercantile loads have been used so that one can visualize that the manufacturing of leather and other products have provided a social and economical connection among Pernambuco, Recife as trade center, Olinda as administrative municipality and Portugal

Teias de caridade e o lugar social dos expostos da Freguesia de Nª Srª da Apresentação: capitania do Rio Grande do Norte, século XVIII

The abandonment of newborn children is a reality nowadays. This reality enables us to discuss this issue in other temporalities, in all kinds of societies. Thus, this work aims to demonstrate how the population that lived at Freguesia de Nossa Senhora da Apresentação, a civil parish at a Rio Grande do Norte captaincy, socially placed the abandoned newborn during in the eighteenth century. These newborn were called exposed ones at the time and were inserted in a regional Exposed Circle. The research also discussed how the local Council assembly sheltered these newborn. For research development the following manuscript documents were used: baptism, wedding and demise documents at Freguesia de Nossa Senhora da Apresentação as well as the first Book of Records if the matrix church at this civil parish. The research also considered the terms of the Council assembly. Some printed documents were used such as Philippine Ordainments, the First Constitutions of the Archbishop in 1707 including the Lunario contents as well as texts from André João Antonil and Henry Koster. In the analysis reference work related to Social History was used. Thus, it is possible confirm that there was construction of socially accepted places for these exposed on behalf of the colonist at the region

Liberdades possíveis em espaços periféricos: escravidão e alforria no termo da vila de Arez (séculos xviii e xix)

This paper discusses aspects of the slavery and emancipations in the village of Arez between the last quarter of the eighteenth century and the first decades of the nineteenth century. It seeks to identify the profile of the slaves and the emancipation possibilities in a peripheral region with few commercial activities, given that the most of the approaches about manumission consider towns and cities where the economic dynamics ware more pronounced, as places of higher possibilities of slaves working in diverse activities that allowed them to accumulate a reserve fund and thus buy their freedom. Therefore it was necessary to raise evidences of slavery in the case study, which was based on surveys of the eighteenth century, and the first decades of the nineteenth century and some population maps and civil records related to the early nineteenth century. The information about the manumission acts were analyzed based on writs of freedom registered in the village of Arez between 1774 and 1827 due to the absence of other documents about it. The registry books include all the documents of the Arez community; so, it was possible to observe what happened in rural localities, in the town, in the headquarters of the district and in the village of Goianinha. Based on information from the documents, it was possible to address some aspects of slavery like the predominant types of groups, the possible activities in which slaves were inserted and the profile of the freed slaves, the emancipation modes and, therefore, discuss the possible relations ship between the colonial space and manumissions and between masters and slaves

As chaves para o mundo do quinto império: as imagens de mundo na história do futuro do padre Antonio Vieira

Iconic historical figure, Antônio Vieira (1608-1697) is regarded as an essential character to the Luso-Brazilian history. Between 1646 and 1667, the priest began writing the History of the Future, the first volume of the celebrated "Clavis Prophetarum , political and theological unity that would leverage the process of spread of Christianity across the globe, recognizing Portugal as forefront and center of all millenarian movement. Them, Jesuit represented the "World" in two metaphors: "theater" and "body" responsible for viewing spaces of abstract Christian truth. Starting from the hermeneutical assumptions of analysis, we investigated the historical relations present in the construction of such representations, by which establish the dialogue between politics, theology and seventeenth-century rhetoric. Therefore, the following study supports the hypothesis that beyond a mere stylistic expressions, spatial metaphors of "World" were formulated by Antonio Vieira as a resource that could sharpen the minds of his readers, engaging words into action, become alive and effective use of rhetoric
