Nas correntezas e contra-correntezas do rio Caraparu: memória e história em comunidades tradicionais na Amazônia oriental (1912-1950)

Este trabalho trata da dinâmica do processo de formação e desenvolvimento de povoados ao longo do curso do rio Caraparu no contexto da primeira metade do século XX, mais precisamente no período de 1912 a 1950, localizados ao sul do atual Município de Santa Izabel do Pará. O objetivo é relacionar a produção agro-extrativa e o comércio de batelões, com a utilização do rio Caraparu, enquanto estrada fluvial. Até 1950 essas populações viviam às margens do referido, e por isso construíram um imaginário de crenças em seres do fundo e do âmago da mata, o que associa com as práticas da pajelança cabocla, ao mesmo tempo em que praticavam o catolicismo de devoção aos santos. Para alcançar o objetivo, optamos em utilizar as técnicas e os procedimentos da história oral, trabalhando na coleta de narrativas nas comunidades de Boa Vista do Itá e vila de Caraparu, ao mesmo tempo em que procedemos à garimpagem de documentos escritos. A proposta é trabalhar as narrativas vindas da oralidade, com fonte indiciária, ou seja, fornecendo as evidências dos fatos, para então fazermos a coleta das outras formas de fontes. A partir do entrecruzamento das fontes, busca-se compreender as complexas relações que tais populações construíram como a relação entre a economia de pequena escala e uma religião popular, típica de áreas rurais, compostas por populações ditas tradicionais.

A colonização de corpos, corações e mentes: educação e higienismo em escritos de periódicos pedagógicos no Pará (1891-1912)

O estudo aborda o tema Educação e Higienismo. O objetivo é analisar a relação entre educação e higienismo e sua materialização nos discursos de homens de ciência, veiculados em periódicos pedagógicos produzidos no Estado do Pará, Brasil, publicados entre os anos 1891- 1912, para entender o sentido epistêmico que assumiram no contexto da colonialidade latino-americana. Neste sentido, esta tese partiu da seguinte questão: no contexto da colonialidade latino-americana, que sentidos assumiram os discursos que relacionam educação e higienismo, produzidos por homens de ciência do Pará, entre os anos 1891-1912, materializados em periódicos educacionais? Para tanto, adotou-se a pesquisa documental e bibliográfica. Epistemologicamente, nos pautamos na Nova História Cultural e na Teoria Decolonial. As fontes exploradas são artigos sobre educação e higienismo publicados nos periódicos: “Revista Educação e Ensino”, “A Escola”, “Revista do Ensino”. Para sua análise foram articuladas ao corpus das fontes documentos oficias como: Legislação educacional (regimentos escolares, decretos e pareceres); Relatórios de órgãos governamentais responsáveis pela instrução e pela saúde no Brasil, particularmente no Pará. Os resultados revelam que ao tratar de educação em associação com o ideário médico-higienista, as publicações constantes nos periódicos produziram representações que negavam os saberes das populações originárias do continente e de outras consideradas inferiores, como negros e brancos empobrecidos. Nestas produções os alunos dessas populações são comparados à cera e às plantas por serem frágeis e influenciáveis pela ação de adultos considerados incivilizados. Desta forma, os discursos em defesa da higienização do espaço, do tempo e das atividades escolares indicados nos periódicos acabaram por tentar moldar corpos, corações e mentes de crianças e adolescentes num processo onde a colonialidade do poder se manifesta em seus âmbitos epistemológico (colonialidade do saber) e ontológico (colonialidade do ser). Portanto, a tese defendida neste estudo é que a racionalidade médico-higiênica materializada nos discursos de homens de ciência presentes nos periódicos pedagógicos produzidos no Estado do Pará, Brasil, publicados entre os anos 1891-1912 corroborou a Colonialidade que se instaurou na América Latina.

Da Linguagem verbal à sincrética: o romance O passado, de Alan Pauls, e sua transcrição para o cinema por Héctor Babenco

The goal of this paper is to reflect on the process of adaptation from literature to cinema in order to understand how are made the choices in this kind of transposition. For that, we will analyze the case of the novel The Past (2003), by Alan Pauls, and its translation into the film language (2007) by Héctor Babenco, using reflections from semiotic studies of literature and cinema

O jogo de intermediações enunciativas no romance de Alan Pauls

The novel O passado (2003) by Alan Pauls presents many isotopies which would deserve to be investigated: there is a varied construction of loving relationships among the characters, who reveal different feelings, that would allow a mapping of passions to be studied; there is an activity of translation (role performed by Rimini and Carmen) that engenders a very rich reflection on the literary activity which is taking place. There is also the presence of a visual artist, Jeremy Riltse, revealing a poetic work which was created by this discourse. Due to the dimension that a research of this kind would require, it is not possible to deal with all the isotopies. Thus, the last one was chosen to be investigated, that is, to verify how the fictional visual artist and his singular work operate in the novel.

Formação e educação popular no campo entre a Igreja Católica e o Estado (1954-1964)

In Brazil, the Catholic Church has an important role in the construction of citizenship, education and training the rural lower classes of the population. Studied in this article, this participation and contribution in the 60s, by highlighting the strong weighting would take the issue of land reform. The Catholic Church was a major player in unionization campaigns and basic education and suffered great tensions and internal conflicts that divide between those who sought the "liberation of the oppressed" and those who fought for reforms without changing the "social order". This paper recovers the trajectory of implementation of various programs of Catholic union formation and foundation of unions. We use historical methodology and retrieve the voice of the authors through interviews with trade unionists, lawyers, church authorities and militants popular.

O centenário da ferrovia brasileira (1954): ensaio sobre a elabo-ração da memória ferroviária no Brasil

In 1954, it was celebrated the centenary of railways in Brazil. The date refers to the first section of 14.5 km of railway in Brazil (30/04/1854), in Rio de Janeiro, between Mauá and Fragoso, of the Petropolis Railway Company (Estrada de Ferro Petrópolis). Some of the texts and commemorative events indicated the symbolic values that the railroad took in the Brazilian history. Firstly, on 30.04.1954, the railway section Mauá-Fragoso and steam locomotive “Baroness” (the first used on the track) were declared national monuments(Decree No. 35,447-A, April 30, 1954). Secondly, some entities (Clube de Engenharia, Conselho Nacional de Geografia, Ministério da Viação e Obras Públicas) highlighted the importance of celebrating the Brazilian railway history and its historical significance, economic and geographical. For this, some events was occurred (the commemoration of one hundred years in Rio de Janeiro and Recife on 30.04.1954). Among the texts wrought produced, we highlight the text I Centenary of Brazilian Railroad (1954), released by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística), and the National Council of Geography (Conselho Nacional de Geografia). The emphasis given to the railway refersto the geographical perspective (territorial expansion), but also makes mention of the Barãode Mauá, the founder of Petropolis Railway Company. We aim to understand the celebration from evocations about the Brazilian railroad history and some ideas that is assigned to the railway (and the Barãode Mauá), and railway heritage (the track and the locomotive “Baroneza”). On basis of this review will seek to understand how it was reconceived the railroad memory in view of these values and material elements.

Studies on the Helminth Fauna of Alaska. XXV. The Ecology and Public Health Significance of Echinococcus sibiricensis Rausch & Schiller, 1954, on St. Lawrence Island

The occurrence of a species of Echinococcus (Rudolphi, 1801) on St Lawrence Island was noted by the writers in early 1950. Recognition of its unusual host relationships led to an investigation of the ecology of this cestode, E. sibiricensis Rausch & Schiller, 1954. It is the purpose of this paper to report the results of this work, with emphasis on alveolar hydatid disease in man, of which this cestode is the etiologic agent.

Revisionary studies on the enigmatic neotropical ant genus Stegomyrmex Emery, 1912 (Hymenoptera : Formicidae : Myrmicinae), with the description of two new species

The recent increase in leaf litter ants sampling effort in Neotropical wet forests has revealed new and interesting records of the highly specialized myrmicine ant genus Stegomyrmex Emery, previously considered as extremely rare. We present a modified diagnosis for the genus and describe Stegomyrmex bensoni n. sp. and S. olindae n. sp., based on, respectively, workers, males, and gyne (central-north Brazil) and on a single worker (northern Brazil). Stegomyrmex vizottoi Diniz (southeastern Brazil) is redescribed and compared with S. olindae n. sp.; these species present significant differences in size, sculpturation, and sting apparatus morphology. The males of S. vizottoi are described for the first time. A key for workers and queens and a distribution map for the five know Stegomyrmex species are provided.

Turing patterns in the chlorine dioxide-iodine-malonic acid reaction with square spatial periodic forcing

We use the photosensitive chlorine dioxide-iodine-malonic acid reaction-diffusion system to study wavenumber locking of Turing patterns to two-dimensional "square" spatial forcing, implemented as orthogonal sets of bright bands projected onto the reaction medium. Various resonant structures emerge in a broad range of forcing wavelengths and amplitudes, including square lattices and superlattices, one-dimensional stripe patterns and oblique rectangular patterns. Numerical simulations using a model that incorporates additive two-dimensional spatially periodic forcing reproduce well the experimental observations.

Variability of rainfall and temperature (1912-2008) parameters measured from Santa Maria (29 degrees 41 ' S, 53 degrees 48 ' W) and their connections with ENSO and solar activity

In this work, we analyze the long term variability of rainfall and temperature (1912-2008) of Santa Maria (29 degrees S, 53 degrees W) and its possible connection with natural influences such as solar activity and ENSO. Temperature and rainfall present similar frequencies as revealed by spectral analyses. This analysis shows a large number of short periods between 2-8 years and periods of 11.8-12.3, 19.1-21.0, and 64.3-82.5 years. The cross correlation for rainfall and temperature versus Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) have higher cross-power around 2-8 yr. Rainfall and temperature versus sunspot number (Rz) showed higher cross-power around the 11-yr solar cycle period. A high and continuous cross correlation was observed for Rz-22 yr versus rainfall and temperature. Furthermore, the power between 22-yr solar cycle and meteorological parameters was higher than that obtained with the 11-yr solar cycle, suggesting that the effect of Hale cycle on climate may be stronger than the Schwabe cycle effect. These results indicate that the variability of rainfall and temperature is closely related to the variation of the Southern Oscillation Index and solar activity, and that the El Nino Southern Oscillation and solar activity probably play an important role in the climate system over Southern Brazil.

Ontogenetic and evolutionary change of external morphology of the neotropical shrimp potimirim (Holthuis, 1954) explained by a molecular phylogeny of the genus

A phylogenetic analysis of a fragment of the mitochondrial gene 16S was used to test the monophyletic status of Potimirim. Existing doubts on the taxonomic status of brasiliana (once P glabra) and P potimirim (once P mexicana) were clarified. Potimirim mexicana and P potimirim are distinct species according to molecular data and appendix masculina morphology. A new species (Potimirim sp. 1) from Puerto Rico was revealed with molecular data, and it is evolutionarily related to P potimirim and P mexicana according to our analysis. We found out three distinct species under the name P glabra. Then, we recommend the application of the name P glabra for the populations of the Pacific slope of Central America and revalidation of P brasiliana for the Brazilian ones. The need for a new name to those "P glabra" of the Caribbean is highlighted, and it was provisionally referred as Potimirim sp. 2. The ontogenetic (juveniles to adults) development of the appendix masculina of P brasiliana was observed and compared to the other species of Potimirim (adults). In the light of our phylogenetic hypothesis, we postulate a pattern of character addition for the evolution of the appendix masculina of Potimirim. This hypothesis is plausible for two key reasons. First. Potimirim is a monophyletic group according to our hypothesis. Second, the shape of appendix masculina found in adults of P. americana is similar and comparable to those found in the earliest juvenile stages of P brasiliana, a derived species according to our phylogeny (P americana, ((P mexicana, Potimirim sp. 1. P potimirim), (P glabra, (brasiliana, Potimirim sp. 2)))). As so, the basal P americana retain the ancestral morphological state of the appendix masculina when compared to the other species of Potimirim. In our interpretation the ontogeny of the appendix masculina recapitulated the proposed phylogeny, giving further support to it.
