DINÂMICAS MERCANTIS COLONIAIS : Capitania do Rio Grande do Norte (1760-1821)

The size and dynamics of the market producer, consumer and exporter of the Captaincy of Rio Grande do Norte, in the period between 1760 and 1821 is the primary goal of this dissertation. In order to establish relations between the founding of new towns built from 1750 and its incorporation into the water supply and domestic market, showing more specifically the colonial economic relations established between the coast and the hinterland of the Province. Based on references by authors such as Edward Shils and Immanuel Wallerstein have investigated topics such as formation of colonial space, deployment-action of colonial institutions regarding business practices, and the dynamic market of the Province of Rio Grande do Norte.

Visões do Império : a 1ª EXposição Colonial de 1934 e alguns dos seus álbuns

A Primeira Exposição Colonial Portuguesa realizada no Porto em 1934 foi a consequência visível do impulso que Salazar quis dar à «política colonial» portuguesa e a uma orientação imperial em que colonizar e civilizar as populações indígenas eram as palavras de ordem. Como corolário da exposição foram produzidos, entre outros, dois importantes álbuns, hoje documentos de inegável interesse histórico, não só enquanto discurso de propaganda do regime do Estado Novo, mas também enquanto narrativas visuais ou “visões do Império”. São eles, o Álbum Fotográfico da autoria do fotógrafo Domingos Alvão e o Álbum Comemorativo, com reproduções de pinturas e desenhos do pintor Eduardo Malta. Neste trabalho pretendemos reflectir sobre essas “visões do Império”, pois elas expressam uma visualidade e um imaginário que se traduz em práticas sociais, em valores e em relações de dominação que definem uma política do olhar, onde o corpo se torna um espaço de inscrição, bem como de categorização racial e cultural. Em suma, é através dessas imagens que vemos as relações de poder e as formas de dominação sobre o outro, que impregnaram a exposição.

Povoações, freguesias e vilas na Paraíba Colonial: Pombal e Sousa, 1697-1800

The towns presently named Pombal and Sousa, located in the hinterland of the State of Paraíba, Brazil, still keep vestiges of the colonization process they went through along the 18th and 19th centuries, when they both emerged as settlement nuclei in the extreme West of the then captaincy of Paraíba and attained the status of freguesia and vila in a later period. This research aims to comprehend the process of urban formation and development of the colonial urban nuclei of Pombal and Sousa as they became povoados (hamlets), freguesias (parishes) and vilas (small urban communities with a local government), according to territorial expansion policies implemented by the Portuguese government from 1697 to 1800. The choice of the two urban settlements for this survey lies in the fact that they were part of the great conquest and colonization program undertaken by the Portuguese Crown. Another aspect that was considered was the fact that those towns are the oldest urban nuclei of Paraíba s hinterland. They came into being as early as in the times of the colony, thus producing a favorable environment to the study of the changes that occurred in the captaincy s hinterland scenery resulting from the process of formation and development of the colonial urban space. Three fundamental categories of analysis were defined since they have a direct bearing upon the urban configuration of the two colonization nuclei: povoado, freguesia and vila. The three of them are related to civil and ecclesiastic jurisdictions. Field, documentation and bibliography surveys were undertaken in order to develop the study. They allowed for the finding of vestiges of the old, colonial urban structures and for the development of theoretical analysis based on present-day studies of issues relating to the colonial urban history. The study purposes were, therefore, to try to understand how the old urban nuclei of Pombal and Sousa fit in the territorial expansion policies undertaken by the Portuguese government; to relate the process of urban formation and development of such nuclei with the categories of analysis povoação-freguesia-vila by discussing the relations and influences they exert over one another and their territory, as well as to unveil, as much as possible, the configuration the urban spaces that were shaped along the 18th century

Aparências da forma e forma do espaço: análise da configuração espacial de residências unifamiliares dos anos 1970 em João Pessoa PB

Assuming that the form of a building shell and its content the spatial form are distinct dimensions of architecture - however indivisible and interdependent -, this study focus, in the light of the Social Logic of Space (HILLIER; HANSON, 1984), on the intrinsic properties through which domestic space was structured in a sample of single-family dwellings built in João Pessoa (PB) during the 1970s - when the vocabulary of modern architecture still prevailed in Brazil though sharing the urban scene with other architectural trends -, in order to investigate regularities or divergences underlying their conception. These dwellings were originally classified (ARAÚJO, 2010a) in five categories defined according to the form of their building shells and to their prevailing construction techniques: (1) Brazilian modern legacy (considered as truly Brazilian modern style); (2) Paulista architecture (that refers to the modern production of São Paulo, Brazil, from the 1950s through the 1970s); (3) experiences of rationalization and prefabrication ; (4) experiences of adaptation to the climate (referring to a design strongly influenced by the hot and humid climate of North-eastern Brazil); and (5) hybrid (to account for a kind of stylistic hybridism that includes formal attributes, which evoke our colonial past). This study aims to determine, through the analyses of nineteen cases that represent each category, whether this taxonomy corresponds to distinct modes of spatial configuration. This research therefore proposes an approach to the classification of domestic architecture based on topological properties. The dwellings spatial organization was represented, quantified and analyzed, their spatial properties explored in consonance with one another and with the literature. Results pointed out that there is no evidence of a reciprocal relationship between the formal look of the built shells and their respective spatial structures

Marajó: espaço, sujeito e escrita

Este trabalho pensa o romance Marajó de Dalcídio Jurandir como um bem de cultura numa perspectiva pós-colonial, na qual se questiona e se rearticula os discursos hegemônicos e homogeneizadores da modernidade. Proponho, desse modo, defender a idéia de que, à semelhança do arquipélago do Marajó, o romance homônimo de Dalcídio Jurandir pode nos dizer que sob a aparente homogeneidade da região está o ambivalente e o heterogêneo, e que essa narrativa redefine, portanto, o processo simbólico e o imaginário social sobre a Amazônia que, tradicionalmente, têm constituído a imagem dessa região.Para tanto, demonstro como se forja um novo signo cultural a partir da representação de um espaço que oscila entre o documento e ficção, bem como da representação de um sujeito em condição fronteiriça e ambivalente e de uma escrita que se faz dupla e fragmentária. A fundamentação teórica desse estudo consiste, sobretudo, nos pressupostos a respeito da construção de narrativas que representam uma nação e criam uma identidade cultural estabelecidas, principalmente, por Timothi Brennan, Homi Bhabha e Stuart Hall, bem como, na idéia de dissimulação e suplemento depreendidas dos estudos de Barthes e Jacques Derrida; nas contribuições de Deleuze e Guatarri, Donaldo Schuller, Finazzi-Agro,Garcia Canclini, Costa Lima, Angel Rama, dentre outros, para se pensar a condição do sujeito e a construção do espaço na narrativa dalcidiana, e, ainda, nas contribuições analíticas de pesquisadores da obra dalcidiana como Assmar, Vicente Salles, Marli Tereza Furtado, Castilo,dentre muitos outros.

Os “verdadeiros conservadores” do Estado do Maranhão: poder local, redes de clientela e cultura política na Amazônia colonial (primeira metade do século XVIII)

Na primeira metade do século XVIII, duas revoltas sacudiram as capitanias do Pará e do Maranhão. A primeira delas teve como protagonista o procurador das câmaras de São Luís e Belém, Paulo da Silva Nunes que, no espaço de quinze anos, “acumulando documentos e renovando queixas” apresentou um dos mais contundentes esboços de acusações contra os jesuítas, documento esse mais tarde utilizado por Pombal em sua campanha contra os regulares da Companhia. Nessa revolta, discutia-se a legalidade das formas de cativeiros dos índios e o poder temporal dos aldeamentos indígenas por parte dos padres da Companhia, o que dificultava o acesso dos moradores à mão-de-obra escrava. A segunda revolta teve como principal arquiteto um morador da cidade de São Luís chamado Gregório de Andrade da Fonseca, que se rebelou contra alguns representantes da administração local, especialmente os da Ouvidoria, que se opuseram aos privilégios que ele havia obtido graças às redes de clientela constituídas na região. Essas revoltas possuem importância capital por apresentar uma série de elementos da cultura política que caracterizava as relações entre os habitantes do Estado do Maranhão com os segmentos estabelecidos na Corte.

Mato Grosso do Sul e Campo Grande: articulações espaço-temporais

The framework of this study was to comprehend the specific conditions surrounding the incorporation and political-economical consolidation of the state of Mato Grosso Sul to the national scenario, during the cyclic evolution of the capitalistic system as well as the role of Campo Grande in this process. The origin and evolution of Campo Grande were analyzed in the context of possible relations between urbanization, regional development and the integration of the state in the national scope. In this approach, several theoretical compatible formulations were considered as to systemic view of reality, from the complex and dynamic point of view. This implies a multi scale reasoning, associating spatial dimension to the historical one, in a theoretical- methodological effort of comprehend the logic between the general and the specific. It was possible to verity peculiarities attributed to Mato Grosso do Sul in the general laws of the capitalistic system, and instances capable of explaning the local effects of the intervention of industrial economy in the dynamic of the process analysed since colonial times, as well as the role of Campo Grande in this process, especially in relation to the economical integration of the state territory to the rest of the nation.

A DIVERSIDADE RELIGIOSA NO ESPAÇO ESCOLAR ADVENTISTA DO ABCD PAULISTA

Tendo como pano de fundo a confessionalidade da rede adventista de educação presente de maneira marcante no espaço escolar e a intensa diversidade religiosa discente, esta pesquisa analisa a relação de possíveis tensões entre a confessionalidade escolar e a diversidade religiosa presente neste espaço. Leva em consideração o processo de modernidade causadora de importantes transformações na educação, na religião e na forma dos dois institutos se relacionarem. Levou-se em consideração o perfil socioeconômico e religioso dos alunos e possíveis tensões na recepção do religioso no espaço escolar adventista por parte dos discentes, inclusive por aqueles que se declaram adventistas. O espaço escolhido para esta pesquisa foi o de colégios adventistas localizadas no contexto do ABCD Paulista, que ofertam o Ensino Médio. Estas unidades escolares estão situadas nas cidades de Diadema, Santo André e São Caetano do Sul, cidades localizadas na mesma microrregião, mas com distintas realidades socioeconômicas

Arquitetura, cidade e território no Brasil colonial: a contribuição dos carmelitas calçados da Bahia e Pernambuco (1580-1800)

This study investigates the religious group named 'shoe wearing carmelites' (or Calced Carmelites) from Brazil´s Order of Carmo, from 1580 until 1800, in the Capitaincy of Bahia de Todos os Santos (Recôncavo, city of Salvador and Sergipe) and in the Capitaincy of Pernambuco (Alagoas, Pernambuco and Itamaracá). The study does not include the religious group known as the 'Reformed' Carmelites from Goiana, Recife and Paraíba convents. The Order of Carmo is a religious order from the Roman Catholic Church, founded in the 12th century. By the 16th century they were split into 'Calced' and 'Discalced'. In 1580 the Calced ones came from Portugal to Brazil, built convents in urban areas and were able to acquire slaves, farms and other assets. As any other religious order, the Carmelites had their modus operandi. This work emphasizes the way they operated or acted in the city, either individually or in association with other Carmelite religious foundations elsewhere (networking). Their action affected, although indirectly, the building of some specific aspects of the architecture, the city and the territory in colonial Brazil. The main objective of this study is to demonstrate the impact of the Calced Carmelites from Bahia and Pernambuco upon the territory of colonial Brazil, which is analyzed according to three scales: 1) the region or interurban; 2) the city or intraurban; 3) the building or the architecture. The research employs the comparative method of analysis, especially for the architectural scale. The work demonstrates that although not acting as architects or urbanists, the Carmelites contributed to the formation of the colonial territory of Brazil, behaving as a well-articulated and hierarchized religious network, from an economic and social perspective. Moreover, they influenced the emergence and growth of several colonial urban nuclei, from Bahia to Pernambuco, mainly in the surroundings of their religious buildings. Finally, it is very clear this religious order’s contribution to colonial architecture, as it can be seen by the architectural characteristics of the convents and churches which have been analyzed, many of which still stand in a good state of conservation nowadays.

A ribeira da discórdia: terras, homens e relações de poder na territorialização do Assu colonial (1680-1720)

The internalization process of the Portuguese possession in Northern Captaincies - after the Dutch eviction and the development of activities related to livestock in the backlands (Sertão) – expanded the Portuguese territory in America. This process resulted in the advancement of Portuguese conquest over the region and conflicts involving agents of colonization and indigenous groups who inhabited that space, as well as conflicts of interest of captaincy’s major social groups and the defense policies of the Portuguese territory possession. Among the rivers which run through Rio Grande captaincy’s territory, the Açu was the one that aroused conquerors and colonizers of the back lands interest, making that spatiality an area where interest and power exercises converged and generated discord. This research aims to analyze the territorial process of Assu backlands, from the pioneers, conquerors and colonizers action over the space studied, during the event known as the War of the Barbarians in Assu, conflict that ensured the integration of the area the territory and the wishes of the Portuguese crown. Thus, it will be taken as objects of study social phenomena that characterized Assu’s riverside - at the turn of the 17th to the 18th century, in a cutout that extends from 1680 to 1720 - as an area of conflicts of interest, noticeable for analysis from period documents such as records of land grants concessions, correspondence between colonial and kingdom authorities, documents from the exercise of administration of Portuguese America and legislation.
