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.

Uso do território, experiências inovadoras e sustentabilidade: um estudo em unidades de produção familiares de agricultores/as na área de abrangência do Programa PROAMBIENTE, Nordeste Paraense

Este estudo avaliou a sustentabilidade das experiências inovadoras baseadas em indicadores e critérios fundamentados em teorias científicas pela percepção de agricultores/as dos municípios de Irituia, São Domingos do Capim, Concórdia do Pará e Mãe do Rio na área de abrangência do Pólo Rio Capim do programa PROAMBIENTE. Objetivou-se compreender o cotidiano desses atores sociais no uso do território por meio de práticas de mínimo impacto ambiental e os motivos que os levaram a estender os tradicionais sitos ou quintais para outras parcelas das Unidades de Produção Familiares (UPFs), transformando-as em Sistemas Agroflorestais (SAFs). A metodologia adotada compreendeu na construção de um formulário, a coleta de dados empíricos e convívio direto em 78 UPFs o que permitiu a identificação de constructo de variabilidade pela Análise Fatorial, estabelecendo quatro fatores: produção e comercialização; prática de produção; intervenção e questão de gênero. O primeiro fator foi utilizado como critério para a seleção e retorno em 18 UPFs definidas para aplicar o questionário e o formulário de notas avaliativas referentes aos indicadores econômicos, social, cultural e ecológico-ambiental. A avaliação da sustentabilidade foi feita por meio da consolidação destes indicadores utilizando o método agroecológico da “Ameba” e o mapeamento da mesma pelo método de interpolação do “vizinho mais próximo” na área de estudo. Como resultados aos indicadores cultural e ecológico/ambiental, apresentaram-se em melhores condições em termos de sustentabilidade com a conceituação de bom para excelente, enquanto que Inversamente foi a situação demonstrada pelos indicadores social e econômico, dos quais os resultados avaliados estão no limiar do que se pode deduzir como sustentável com desempenho de fraco para suficiente.

Imigração espanhola na Amazônia: as colônias agrícolas e o desenvolvimento socioeconômico do Nordeste paraense (1890-1920)

O período compreendido entre os anos de 1890 e 1920 marcou a história das migrações internacionais no estado do Pará. Em função de uma forte propaganda migratória na Europa, o Estado paraense foi palco de entrada para muitos imigrantes europeus, entre eles os espanhóis. Atraídos pela agricultura no estado, devido à criação dos núcleos coloniais, muitas famílias de espanhóis, saídos, muitas vezes, de uma situação de pobreza, atravessaram o Atlântico e reconstruíram suas vidas em vários núcleos coloniais do estado do Pará. Sendo assim, a pesquisa propõe investigar quais as contribuições socioeconômicas dos imigrantes espanhóis para o desenvolvimento do Nordeste paraense, e procura entender o processo de introdução desses colonos em território paraense e o seu cotidiano nas colônias, a partir de documentos e entrevistas para demonstrar essa vivência de espanhóis no estado do Pará. Com isso, pretende-se com esta pesquisa dar sua parcela de contribuição para o campo historiográfico dentro dos estudos sobre migração internacional na Amazônia, visto que, existe certa escassez de trabalhos em estudos migratórios na região, salvo alguns trabalhos reconhecidos de pesquisadores que se dedicam ao tema da migração no território paraense.

A gestão do desenvolvimento local no Brasil: (des)articulação de atores, instrumentos e território

As ideias de desenvolvimento local são controversas, pouco consensuadas e, às vezes, até antagônicas entre si, tanto no Brasil quanto no debate internacional. Diante dessa polêmica, este artigo discute a gestão do desenvolvimento local a partir de instrumentos selecionados por meio de uma análise exploratória não apenas conceitual e teórica, mas sobretudo prática. Do ponto de vista metodológico, foi realizada uma análise comparada de experiências regionalmente distribuídas, levando-se em conta suas inserções em redes sociais e seus resultados econômicos na região em que está inserida (Sul, Sudeste e Nordeste). Percebe-se que refletir sobre o desenvolvimento local desdobra-se em duas frentes: uma de reprodução da lógica capitalista em escala localizada (tradicional) e outra de tentativas contra-hegemônicas (solidária). Assim, algumas questões centrais foram identificadas para orientar uma reflexão sobre a intervenção dos atores da sociedade civil e dos governos na formulação de propostas e iniciativas de desenvolvimento econômico local.

O enredo prisional em Angola: soberanias duais na disciplina do corpo colonial

A análise das estruturas de aprisionamento necessita de atender ao quadro institucional no qual se encontra enquadrado. A compreensão das finalidades às quais reporta apenas pode ser captada na alusão a um quadro teórico e conceptual que não se cinja à apreensão restrita das suas mais evidentes manifestações. O enredo da Angola colonial, no qual nos focamos, imprime a necessidade de nos afastarmos dos recorrentes estudos que tendem a evidenciar a brutalidade da prática repressiva no interior das prisões, menosprezando, por iminência, uma análise que capte as características longitudinais que ditam as estruturas administrativas das suas bases materiais. Assente na defesa de um alargamento conceptual das práticas de confinamento, pretende esta investigação contribuir para os estudos que atendem à necessidade destes estabelecimentos serem analisados à luz de outras instâncias, nomeadamente o trabalho forçado e o incipiente poder infraestrutural do estado colonial. De forma a alcançar tal propósito esta dissertação concebe uma análise que contrapõe às finalidades impressas nos códigos legais dos estatutos criminais coloniais os relatórios arquivísticos. Estes dão conta da prática que regia o modus operandi destes estabelecimentos e atestam a debilidade morfológica do poder estatal colonial. É face a tal que se apresenta, numa última análise, as instâncias que nos permitem pensar o enredo edificado pelas empresas concessionárias no território colonial numa relação de analogia com a prisão colonial. Tal comparação é aqui edificada pelo recurso ao estudo de caso da Companhia de Diamantes de Angola, problematizando-se o modo como esta empresa substituía o poder do estado colonial ao implementar políticas públicas de gestão e controlo das massas trabalhadoras que se encontravam sob a sua alçada.

Monarcas, ministros e cientistas. Mecanismos de poder, governação e informação no Brasil Colonial

Este livro reúne 15 artigos escritos em tempos diferentes, agora reunidos num único volume publicado sob os auspícios do Centro de História de Além-Mar. Econtram-se, contudo, unidos por um denominador comum, o Brasil colonial, e por uma época predominante, o século XVIII. Partindo da noção de que o conhecimento é uma forma de poder, a autora pretende entender como a utilização do saber produzido ao longo de setecentos foi particularmente útil na governação da América Portuguesa, utilizado por governantes como meio de controlo do espaço, da natureza e da humanidade. Este conhecimento permitiu também o descobrimento da colónia brasileira pelos europeus de setecentos, com repercussões evidentes na formação de uma consciência europeia e na formulação de imagens sobre o Império Português e os portugueses, que acentuaram as diferenças culturais, políticas, económicas e científicas existentes, pondo em causa uma visão uniforme da Europa das Luzes.

Mansonella ozzardi no Território Federal de Roraima, Brasil: distribuição e achado de um novo vetor na área do rio Surumu

Um inquérito hemoscópico, conduzido entre indígenas Makuxi, pertencentes a 15 localidades da região nordeste do Território Federal de Roraima, revelou a presença de microfilárias de Mansonella ozzardi em 3,2% das 652 pessoas examinadas. O número de microfilárias nos positivos era pequeno, não ultrapassando a 18 nas amostras de sangue(20mm3) colhidas. A baixa densidade na microfilaremia e a inexistência da infecção em menores de 15 anos sugerem que a filariose está sendo adquirida pelos indígenas fora de suas aldeias, provavelmente nos garimpos de ouro situados na parte alta do rio Maú. Simulium oyapockense s.l. ou Simulium roraimense - espécie muito espalhada no norte do Território - foi reconhecido como vetor de M. ozzardi na área do rio Surumu. As fêmeas desse simulídeo, embora capazes de suportar o desenvolvimento da filária até L3, não se infectam com facilidade. Assim, numa tentativa de infecção experimental, apenas 20,6% das fêmeas alimentadas sobre um voluntário (com 12mf/20mm3 de sangue colhido da polpa digital) exibiram estádios larvares de M. ozzardi (1-2 larvas somente por exemplar infectado). A alta prevalência em índios Sanumá e Mayongong, que vivem no lado oposto do Território, aponta para a existência, na área do rio Auaris, onde se localizam esses indígenas, de um outro vetor, muito mais eficiente do que S. oyapockense s.l.

O primeiro centro urbano colonial nos trópicos: Ribeira Grande (Cabo Verde), séculos XV-XVII.

A cidade da Ribeira Grande não resulta de uma selecção natural das populações ao longo dos tempos, atraídas por um local que apresente as várias condições favoráveis à evolução da vida comunitária. Ela é fundada por decisão administrativa num vazio populacional, de clima adverso, por razões exógenas ao território. Quando esses condicionalismos externos se alteram e a retaguarda se povoa, a cidade decai e a população ruraliza-se. A ilha de Santiago e designadamente o porto da Ribeira Grande tornaram-se, no 3º quartel do séc. XV, objecto de atenções por parte da política ultramarina da Coroa portuguesa devido à sua possível função de “fortaleza feitoria insular” da Costa da Guiné.1 Efectivamente, por razões estratégicas os portugueses inventaram um pólo de atracção tão intenso, quanto nele confluíam todas as linhas que estabeleciam a ligação entre a ilha e o extenso litoral fronteiro. O porto insular foi um litoral fabricado, para ocupação sem resistências, dispondo de uma retaguarda passiva, utilizável a qualquer momento.2

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

Contra as Secas: a engenharia e as origens de um planejamento regional no nordeste brasileiro

Droughts surfaced in 1877 as a crucial problem for the birthing Brazilian nation. Engineers, who formed the country's technical and scientific elite, took it upon themselves to study, understand and fight the problem through planned actions of intervention on space. This work, based on proposals and discussions contained in engineering magazines and reports, aims to provide elements for the comprehension of how these systematized actions against droughts, in the Iate nineteenth and early twentieth century, contributed to spatial analysis and the formation of a (then-inexistent) regional and territorial planning discipline in Brazi!. Engineers, by taking up the position of masterminds in the country's modernization, guaranteed for themselves personal economic stability, social prestige and political power. By understanding nature, either as a resource to be exploited or an adversary to national progress, they contributed to the delimitation of the region now known as the Northeast. By seeking to understand the drought phenomenon, they created knowledge about the space they sought to intervene on; by constructing their projects amid political and economical difficulty, they changed the organizational structures of cities and country in the northeast. The proposals for açudes (Iarge water reservoirs) allowed the fixation of population and the resistance against droughts; the roads - railroads and automotive roadways - connected the sertão to the capitais and the coast, speeding up help to the affected populations during droughts and allowing the circulation of goods so as to strengthen the local economies in normal rimes. The adopted practices and techniques, adapted from foreign experience and developed through trial and improvement, were consolidated as an eminently spatial intervention course, even if a theoretical body of regional or territorial planning wasn't formed in Brazil. Regional Planning proper was first applied in the country in the Northeast itself, in the 1950s, based off an economical view of reality in order to achieve development. The engineer's work prior tothat date, however, cannot be dlsconsldered. It was proved that, despite facing financial and political hurdles, engineers had a profound commitment to the problem and intended to act systematically to transform the economical and social relations in the region, in order to be victorious in their struggle against droughts

Henrique Novaes: técnica, território e cidade em uma trajetória profissional: Brasil, primeira metade do século XX

The career of civil engineer Henrique de Novaes, a remarkable figure in the academic, technical and political fields, demonstrates its extensive and relevant work across Brazil in the first half of the twentieth century. It covered from the design of water supply and sewage works, road and rail transport networks, works against drought in the Northeast, hydroelectric and harbor facilities to the urbanization planning and architectural projects, which displays a systematic and multiple production. City and territory conformed to his fields of verification, practical and above all, transformation. The search for understanding of the inclusion of a social actor in this process thus contributes to the specific analysis of the doings of Henrique de Novaes, who graduated at Polytechnic School of Rio de Janeiro in 1906. From a polymorphic activity in different scales, one tries to figure how, through academic education or professional practice, urban history in Brazil can be told or built. The introduction of technological innovations matched the purposes of planning and urban sprawl, as well as met the specifications of regulation and institutionalization of public infrastructure services at the time. The overall plans proposed by the engineer thought of the city as a whole, interconnected to the structural networks. At the same time, the knowledge of a larger physical scale the territory bounces back in the urban in a relationship of reciprocity and completeness. The objective research, therefore, tries to understand the roles played by Henrique de Novaes s works and academic education in the accomplishment of systematic modernization of Brazilian urban space and territory, recovering a little known historical figure by current historiography. It is proposed, as methodological axis, that the study of this professional career configures itself as an essential element for understanding the idea of progress embodied in the technical studies and proposals for improvements and sanitation nationwide in the first half of the twentieth century . The primary sources for the construction of this analysis were technical articles in journals of the period ( Clube de Engenharia , Viação e Revista Brasileira de Engenharia ), and technical reports, government messages, newspaper articles published at the time, autobiographical reports and the engineer s verbal communications with relatives. The work is structured in three chapters: "Biographical traces, academic education and 'technical and political' activities" illustrates the initiation into the technical, public and political environment; Chapter 2, "Technique and territory" outlines his network understanding through sanitation and transport services; Chapter 3 "Technique and City" describes the influence of polytechnics knowledge on the propositions of modernization of cities; Finally, "Final Thoughts: An Evaluation," presents an overview of the affiliations and practice of an engineer in the different scales, and its contribution to the modernization of Brazilian urban and territorial space

Reconfigurações industriais das regiões metropolitanas do Nordeste: uma análise a partir do emprego formal

Industrial development experienced by Brazil from the 1950s, changed the concentration of population in the country. The process of development of domestic industry, concentrated in urban areas, crowded growing portion of the population.The Southeast region during the first stage of industrialization driven by the state, with the implementation of Plan goals, captained the major industrial projects implemented in the period and became the main industrial center of the country.In the decade from 1960 to 1980 the state action was marked by numerous regional development projects, softening the industrial concentration and Brazilian investment redirected to the Northeast.The second National Development Plan implemented in the 1970s led to major investments Northeast.This period marked the widespread urban growth and institutionalization of the first metropolitan areas in Brazil.The change of this developmental process is altered with the fiscal and financial crisis of the state in the 1980s and 1990s and spending cuts aimed at national development, reorienting the economy to liberal policies of economic liberalization and reduction of activity in the economy.Industrial policy was relegated to local development plans from the 1990s to the federating units fitting the wide use of tax incentives, the "war tax" to the continued industrialization process.In this context of the national economy work seeks to analyze the industrial setting in the metropolitan areas of Fortaleza, Recife and Salvador between 1995 and 2010.Although the metropolitan areas of Fortaleza, Recife and Salvador are the main urban centers of the Northeast, responsible for the advancement of industrial development, reconfigurations occurred between 1995 and 2010 by changing the level of industrial specialization built by regional division of labor in these regions.The work will be carried out by the method of descriptive analysis of the literature review on regional and urban development.Constitute quantitative method as the secondary data analysis of formal employment from the Annual Social Information (RAIS) Ministry of Labour and Employment (MTE).Using data RAIS / MTE analyzes the industrial specialization index using the Locational Quotient (LQ).Thus, it is assumed as a parameter analysis QL> 1, when the region has become specialized in a particular sector or QL <1, when the region does not have expertise in industrial sector analyzed.The conclusion of study indicates that there was in these metropolitan areas maintained the same bias hub.Fiscal policies, the states, was not successful in diversifying the productive structure and the Northeast region itself.This result is demonstrated by the need and dependence on state investments in the region to promote development.Industrial policies of recent years have been positive to meet the objectives of employment generation, but there must be specific policies for better diversification of production, in addition to integrating the economy of the Northeast sector and regionally

A Formação de Padres no Nordeste do Brasil (1894-1933)

The Nossa Senhora da Conceição Seminary, installed in 1894, by Dom Adauto Aurélio de Miranda Henriques, first Paraíba Bishop, and the Episcopal Seminary of the Sagrado Coração de Jesus, implanted in 1913, by Dom José Thomas Gomes da Silva, first Aracaju s Bishop diocese, were created as a result of lack of an official religious process proposed by the Brazilian Republic Proclamation, in 1889. With the appoint to enlarge the number of priests and change the image of the priest married and unrolled who used to identify the Catholic Church in the colonial and imperial Brazil. Such bishops developed into intellectuals in the government, dioceses and formation priest houses. I take as a study object, for this doctorate paper, the academic formation and priesthood developed in theses seminaries, from 1894 to 1933, once 1894 the year of João Pessoa Creation Seminar that was implied the Minor Course (preparation) and the Major one (built by Philosophy and God related studies) and the research limit year of 1933, is concerned about the Major Sergipe Seminary ending, which was created and has worked offering the Minor and Major courses, from 1913 to 1933. Showing the teaching models that guided and leaded the priest formation, referred as Seminaries, and the application result is the objective of this investigation. To comprehend the teaching models seminaries studied, my research line is the Catholic Church theme and priest formation in Brazil. In front of the object and the objective desired, I chose the historical comparative method and the scholars modals notions of Araujo de Barros (2004) and the Sirinelli intellectuals (1996). Such references allowed me to analyze the formation given in the seminary and seminarian participation and actions, included the sequence after the scholars formation. The thesis defended is that the teaching model developed in the Brazilian Seminaries, created after a non official religious process in the Brazilian government, deal with a model of one unique center (Seminary formation and aim pre arranged by Santa Sé), although adapted, presuming the local reality and formation structure (privileged not only spiritual and moral speaking, but intellectual also), was it responsible for intellectuals generations (teachers priests, educationalist priest, journalists priests and so on) that boost the education in Brazil. During the Republic first three decades, when, in thesis, the Government was becoming free religion, i.e., the government did not subsidize the Church anymore, and the Government, among others aspects, did not received any Church care to help the public teaching in the country. The investigation reveled accede, by bishops and their followers, such as by the Concílio de Trento pre concept, or by the others ideas, leading by the priests formation in Seminaries. By creating and stalling diocese Seminary, Bishop Dom Adauto and Dom José went further their functions, by the time they built inside themselves a teaching model thought from the main pedagogic logic, based on several religious exercises, moral and ethic, considered by themselves several knowledge connected to humanity, philosophy and God related studies). Following clearly rationalism principle (the way of teaching, which each subject has its own teacher and this class get together students with the same knowledge, regardless of age) and efficiency (trying to teach the whole content in each class), the Seminaries researched developed a whole education, allowed the structure of a spiritual education, moral and intellectual, for a quality developed by priests, including different levels that they used to performance. Their bottom line, actions and priest matter achievement allowed their broad fulfillment, in the way that priests matter were associated with cultural, educational, welfare assistance, at last, intellectuals

Música dos espaços: paisagem sonora do Nordeste no movimento armorial

This work exams the presence of music in the imaginary constitution of spaces, taking as study s object part of the musical production of the Armorial Movement, officially casted in 1970 in the city of Recife, Pernambuco. From that so called, by the Armorial s discourse, the essence of the brazilian northeastern popular art , the armorialists has intended to make an art that express an idea of northeasternity and brazility . Tries to demonstrate how the music has exerted a basic function of condensation and spreading of the armorial aesthetics, auditorily delimiting the territory of Brazilian Northeastern and, at the same time, trying to impose a sonority to it. This work still analyses the elaboration of what would be a proper soundscape of the Northeastern and how this elaboration passes trough the desire of crystallization of an idealized space, perpetual, escape line of the characteristic modernizing and postmodernizing experience of the twentieth century, product, in turn, of the anxiety of conservation of the Northeastern as a shelter to the traditions that has been evidenced by the construction of an visibility and, also, an audibility to the so called northeastern universe. It analyses, too, the way as works the confrontation between the idea of a so called northeastern soundscape - sonorous events set taken as typical from the rural space - and a sonorous archives series produced since 1920 with the regionalist discourse, showing how was elaborated an armorial music that has intended to represent the brazilian Northeastern. It evidences how, to the elaboration of armorial music, it was managed elements from the European musical culture so called scholar. It argues that the utilization of, to the manufacture of the armorial thinking and aesthetics, of a European mimical capital, so called that way by Stephen Greenblat, was consequence of the intellectual leadership of the Movement, centered in the writer Ariano Suassuna. It argues that Suassuna, followed by the musicians and the artists of the Movement, has searched to evidence a genetic linking between what he has considered the Brazilian true popular art and the medieval Iberian culture. For in such a way, the music was taken as a formation element of the social imaginary and directed to verify a relationship between the Northeastern idealized by the Armorial and the music produced by the Movement. This work has searched, therefore, through the analysis of the armorial music, to study the possible confluences between music and the space that has produced it to, by this analysis, to think the complicity between music and history
