Research on the political treatment of the Diretas Já campaign in the mainstream press at the time.

We intend, through this research, to study the representation of the Russian colonization of Siberia, made by the Englishman William Coxe. The author was an important member of English high society at the end of the 18th century. He wrote and published the book “Account of the Russian Discoveries Between Asia and America”, in the late 1780s. In this work are found several trends of the Scottish Enlightenment, an intellectual and literary movement of the time. This movement perpetuated various economic and cultural notions that epistemologically justified European colonialism and imperialism. It is, in short, a study through the work “Report of the Russian Discoveries Between Asia and America” of how the Enlightenment approached and justified the territorial expansion of European countries, mainly the British Empire, during the 18th century.

This research aims to verify the cases of violence against women, in the procedural collection of the LABDOC, in the Comarca de Oliveira, Minas Gerais, in the period between 1830 and 1850. From our investigation, we were able to verify how the cases occurred of violence against women, how the disputes were registered in the criminal procedural documents and how was the posture of the Judiciary, recently implanted in the nineteenth century society. Throughout our research, we could see how much male violence interfered in social and power relations between people, also highlighting how the female figure was neglected by society and historiography.

This work aims to analyze the sociopolitical and cultural content explored by the chronicles of Fred Melo Paiva, for the column “Da Arquibancada'' in the newspaper Estado de Minas, between the years 2011 and 2019. Analysis of the 350 chronicles published over that period. Subsequently, we cataloged the chronicles through the categorization of their themes. By addressing in his chronicles the themes that relate the universe of football to politics, the chronicler in question outlines criticisms of the current political moment, mainly governments and conservative morals, in order to mark his progressive position. The narratives mobilize descriptions of events related to the soccer metier, relating them to political agendas and social issues that permeate Brazilian daily life. We present this study in two chapters: it addresses “athleticism” or the identity of Clube Atlético Mineiro supporters, through the use of various figures of speech that make up Fred Melo Paiva's rhetoric. In the second chapter, we analyze themes related to institutional politics that set the tone of football chronicles. Through the analysis of the chronicles, we realized to what extent the identity profile of the chronicler – athletic and progressive – leaves marks on his textual production and instigates the debate of social and political themes.

The present work proposes to approach the reaction of the Catholic clergy to the advance of Pentecostalism in the city of Campanha - MG in the 1950s, through the newspaper Voz Diocesana, official information vehicle of the diocese created in the city in 1907. The periodical that, as in his words initials, “the aim was to establish bonds of union between the episcopal city and the parishes, between the diocesan assistant and the parish organizations, communicating news about the progress of their activities”; was used as an instrument to combat the newly arrived Protestantism in the city, when the Assembly of God was created in 1954. The association held by the Catholic Church takes advantage of the political condition of the United States and Latin American countries in the context of the Cold War – who fight communism - and compares the American missionaries to the red bloc, as a way of containing the denomination's advance. For this investigation, a qualitative analysis was carried out from printed sources of the periodical, allowing to perceive signs of religious intolerance.

This study investigates the influence of Central African cosmovisions on the formation process of the Ketu Nago candomblé in the Southeast of Brazil, from its foundation in the twentieth century to its transformations in the dynamics between tradition and modernity in the twenty-first century. Here we intend to historically recover the social and academic-theoretical factors that led to the prestige and visibility of religious manifestations of Sudanese origin, that is, Nago, to the detriment and invisibilization of practices originating from the Bantu, or Central African, ethnolinguistic complex. Contrary to what has been established as praxis in the analysis of such manifestations, this research is based on the inversion of the concept of Nagoization of candomblé angola, rethinking the liturgical bases that founded and institutionalized the Nago religion, and shedding light to the process here called Bantuization of religious practices coming from West Africa. The research analyzes other related aspects, such as the concept of syncretism, recent historical perspectives on black popular Catholicism in Brazil, and the various processes of reafricanization of terreiros, debates that are inseparable from the investigation proposed here. To this end, this study was based on observation through monitoring public and private ceremonies of candomblé terreiros, as well as Oral History interviews with leaders of four houses, one in each state of the Southeast.

The main objective of this dissertation was to analyze the narrative of the superseries “Os dias Eram assim”, a production of TV Globo network from 2017. Set in the city of Rio de Janeiro between 1970 and 1985, the plot explores the context of the Brazilian dictatorial regime, in particular the "years of lead" and the subsequent process of political opening. The narrative focuses on the love story between Alice Sampaio (Sophie Charlotte) and Renato Reis (Renato Góes), whose romance is hampered by the political events of that period of history. The research was conducted based on the methodological approach proposed by Jérôme Bourdon. In the analysis, three prominent elements were identified: (i) the extensive inclusion of image files of the broadcaster's television journalism gives the work elements that promote authenticity, the documentary character and, mainly, a sense of witness to the events of the period; (ii) the character Natália Andrade (Mariana Lima), a History teacher, was used in the narrative as a symbol of resistance, being tortured and elected deputy at the end of the plot. Thus, the teacher's life was influenced by the political events of that context, raising reflections on the contemporary nature of the work, with emphasis on the “National Truth Commission” and the issue of the “School Movement Without Party”. In this sense, a connection was identified between the representation of the dictatorial past and the context of the superseries' exhibition; (iii) the narrative emphasizes the involvement of civil society in the repressive apparatus and its financing during the military dictatorship, with emphasis on the role of the construction industry and the use of the term "civil-military dictatorship". Finally, in contextual terms, the analysis focused on the reception of a "Bolsonarista" inclination on Twitter, driven by Eduardo Bolsonaro's call for his followers to create counter-narratives in response to the plot using the hashtag "#osdiasnaoeramassim," promoting what Napolitano (2021) called “ideological revisionism”. Furthermore, these reactions align with the vision of Stuart Hall, who conceives of culture as a field of symbolic struggle, where different groups compete for the definition of cultural meanings and representations. In this context, a space of memory disputes is evident, in which both TV Globo Network and the "bolsonaristas" resort to the dictatorial past, using it to promote their agendas in the contemporary times in which the plot was displayed.

The present work has as its main object of study the academic contributions of the professor and sociologist Jessé Souza, as well as his critical theory produced in order to demystify the dominant ideas of Brazilian social thinking, especially those produced in the 1930s by Gilberto Freyre and Sérgio Buarque de Holanda, and later continued and expanded to intellectuals such as Raymundo Faoro, Roberto DaMatta, among others. The objective is to analyze how Souza identifies the existence of a conservative science and a historiographical tradition in the Brazilian intellectuality, both responsible for building a national identity supported by culturalism and patrimonialism, being that way at the service of a small financial elite. According to Souza, these totalizing ideas end up naturalizing inequalities and making the production and reproduction of a rabble of invisible sub-citizens, thus legitimizing a culture of coups d'état sponsored by the elites and the middle classes against radically transformative, inclusive and reformists political projects. Our intention is to examine the possible theoretical and/or methodological limits present in his analyses, which, according to the author, aim to build a new totalizing narrative about Brazilian society. Finally, we will investigate the causes and reasons raised by the sociologist that explain the recent rise of the extreme right wing in Brazil, as well as his theoretical contributions to building a new ideological architecture for the left wing in Brazil.

This study aimed primarily to analyze the biographical writings of Alfredo Ellis Jr. (1896-1974), drawing upon two main sources: "Um parlamentar paulista da República: subsídios para a história da República em S. Paulo e subsídios para a história econômica de São Paulo" (1949) and "Tenente-Coronel Francisco da Cunha Bueno: pioneiro da cafeicultura no Oeste Paulista" (1960). The objective was to comprehend how the author's familial memory, as depicted in the paternal and grandfatherly biographies, is structured and engages in a construction of historical meaning grounded in "scientific" assumptions such as "racialism," geographical "determinism," and economic "determinism.". Furthermore, the biographical writings of the São Paulo historian in the years between 1950-1960 emerge as a fertile source for delineating continuities and reinterpretations developed by the author himself in comparison with his more studied productions as a historian between 1920-1930. Lastly, we can understand the reactualization of the defense of São Paulo regionalism following the "Era Vargas," particularly as the decentralizing regionalist project facilitated by the Partido Republicano Paulista unfolds during the First Republic. This is notably observed through Alfredo Ellis Jr.'s use of a resentful language in the paternal biographies as a means of compensating for dissatisfaction and losses from the author's perspective, concerning the beleaguered economic elite of São Paulo and the centralizing policies throughout the past and present of the nation.Parte superior do formulário

This research has as main objective to analyze the city of Divinópolis during the civil-military dictatorship. In this dissertation we aimed to highlight the resistance actions and repression episodes that took place in the city, which is located in the Midwest of Minas Gerais. The study used oral history as methodological perspective, being primordial the concepts of memory and resistance. The documental corpus of the research is composed of interviews with local residents that had some sort of involvement with the resistance movements. Still, as complementary sources, we searched newspapers editions that were around in Divinópolis between the years of 1964 and 1985 and we focused the analysis on the newspapers A Semana” and “Diário do Oeste”. Besides these, we made a brief survey in newspapers of other locations, like “Folha de São Paulo” and “Correio da Manhã”, in which we found information about events that occurred in Divinópolis. We analyzed documents from the Social and Political Order Department (DOPS) and from the National Service of Information (SNI) and finally, we also utilized photographs from the time. The study of the sources allowed us to observe that, although located in the inland, divinopolitan society was not oblivious to what happened in the national political context. Amid the support that the coup gathered in the city, also emerged various actions that can be framed in the resistance scope, as we will present during the text. Amid the support the coupe achieved in the town, there emerged many actions that fit as resistance acts, as the teachers' strikes, the discussions arranged by the Divinópolis' Women Union, the critical approach of the classes taught by Franciscans in the universities and in their sermon during the masses, the realization of the art week, the participation of divinopolitans in resistance groups, among others protests.

This research presents the theoretical and practical analyses elaborated by the World March of Women in dialogue with the Sempreviva Feminist Organization, focusing on the production carried out during the covid-19 pandemic, between 2020 and 2021. There were presented reflections on the theory of reproduction, a picture of the reality of female employment in Brazil, as well as the historical trajectory of the World March of Women, explaining the reasons why this social movement defines itself as an anti-systemic feminist movement. Feminist economics is presented as the main theoretical tool used by the movement to address criticism of capitalism and propose alternatives in the face of what is called capital-life conflict, suggesting proposals based on the sustainability of life. This research was carried out from bibliographic sources produced by the movement, with the aim of understanding how militant practice and theoretical formulations were developed during the health crisis caused by the covid-19 pandemic.

Due to the SARS-COV-2 pandemic, one of the most devastating in the history of mankind, 2020 became one of the most emblematic years in the last centuries. Radical changes in lifestyle and social interactions have substantially reshaped human relations in its various dimensions. In the matter of education, distance learning was the expedient used all over the world to allow children, adolescents and adults to carry on with their studies. Public schools in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais have launched a distant learning program called Programa de Estudos Tutorados (PET) so that students could go on with their school activities. In the city of São Paulo, public schools have responded to the pandemic with the program Programa Trilhas de Aprendizagem, a series of teaching materials the students have used for distance learning. This thesis analyses the production contexts of both teaching materials, taking into account the pandemic-imposed social distancing and its consequences, the visual aids used in the materials, and the simplified treatment given to study topics, which points to a deterioration of pedagogical institutions and processes. The study uses as measurement criteria the visual communication and the degree of simplification imposed on study topics, and compares the analysis results of both programs. Results have shown the respective accomplishments, difficulties and fragilities of these two teaching materials. The prevalence of simplified approaches to study topics, the low capacity of visual communication, and the insistence on repetition and memorization appear frequently in the analysis results and provide insights into the pedagogical work during the pandemic.

This research has like main objective analyze the escape of slaves and their different motivations, strategies and possibilities as an integrant part of the daily life of the city of Rio de Janeiro in the first half of the 19 century. Through the analysis of seven thousand advertisement of runaway slaves published in the periodical “Diário do Rio de Janeiro”, we look to know the profile of the runaway slaves who lived in the city. The time span rangers from 1831, the year of the enactment of the Law of November 1831 which aimed to stop the importation of Africans into Brazil, until 1850, when the law was replaced by the law Eusebio de Queiroz, in which the slave trade was effectively extinguished. We direct our study to understand the behavior of the runaway slaves and the various insertion tactics used bay these historical actors at a crucial moment and theirs lives, the one that, at limit, would allow them to break or negotiate the condition of slaved. Beyond to using the advertisements written by slaves masters, we also made use of the Ministerial Justice Reports and the advertisement by the Rio de Janeiro police that involved escaped captives, reveling the various and complex strategies of slaves to resist. Therefore, this research seeks to discuss the analytical possibilities — for the universe of slavery in Brazil — that approaches the slavery, the press and the slave escapes.

The study of football and literature is already common in research in the field of Social Sciences, and it is no different in History. Thus, through sports chronicles written by Roberto Drummond, during the 1978 and 1982 World Cups in Jornal Estado de Minas, we seek to relate these fields of study, understanding the conics produced by the author as part of a democratic political culture within the scope of national sports chronicle. We use the approach of the New Political History, in which the "politician" extrapolates the field of institutional power, also encompassing a series of practices and social representations, as is the case of football spectacle. In the first chapter, the chronicles were analyzed as sources of historical research, and the contextualization of Drummond’s intellectual biography was made. The second chapter is dedicated to the context of the Argentine dictatorship, host of the 1978 World Cup, and to Drummond's chronicles about the tournament. Finally, the third chapter presents the analysis of the chronicles of the 1982 World Cup. The comparison of sources shows that the author gives continuity to some recurring themes addressed by him in the previous World Cup. In summary, the set of analyzes suggests that the chronicles produced by Drummond reveal his popular style, full of colloquialities, with the idea that the Brazilian football team would represent the entire Brazilian people, through talent, creativity and genius that, in to a certain extent, it feeds the tradition left by chroniclers such as Mário Filho and Nelson Rodrigues.

The presente work aims to explain a process of distinction between the philosopjical and theological domains through the discussion of the problem of the eternity of the world in Boethius of Dacia. Master of Arts at the University of Paris during the 13th century, Boethius was a readr of Aristotle and was commenting on a problem arising from Natural Philosophy, whose corpus arrived in Latin Christian Europe between the 12th and 13th centuries. Therefore it was necessary to understand the historicity of this philosophical discussion, foing through the concepts traditionally based on Christian Wisdom until the development of Aristotelism and the specialization of knowledge, analyzing how diferente philosophical concepts were received and reconfigured within the Christian culture, bringing together elements developed philosophically that formed a new intelectual understanding. Thus, the identity of “philosopher” was philosophically discussed by Boethius of Dacia, in order to legitimize his position within a predominantly creationist and theological culture.

This dissertation aimed to observe the presence of members of the clergy as participants in the imperial political dynamic, taking as a starting point the province of Minas Gerais between 1833 and 1837. The political priests of Minas were selected from their presence in the Provincial Assembly. Minas Gerais, but its presence was already well known even before the opening of the assembly. We seek to find their socioeconomic origins, their actions and their political tendencies. We have not forgotten their religious careers, which were naturally associated with the political career, and vice versa. The forms of action and insertion was one of the highlights, since for us the priests had a privileged space for political action within the society of that period, not only for their functions as a member of the electoral tables, but also as an important reference to the people who still listened to the priest's sayings. After being elected, we sought to observe their performance as representatives and tried to present their political tendencies, which at that time were beginning to assert themselves more clearly, taking into account issues that addressed priests and institutions between power struggles.

This paper aims to analyze aspects related to the collective memory of slavery, the implication of official certifications on the formation of quilombola identity and the importance of land as a symbolic space for the communities of remaining quilombolas in Jaguara and Palmital, belonging to the municipality of Nazareno, Minas Gerais. Based on the crossing of information from various sources - note books, word lists, post-mortem inventories, wills and interviews - the investigation entered the period of the 19th century, examining the formation, development, as well as the process of recognition as remaining quilombola communities and implications for recognition of property and land use within legal parameters in the 21st century. Thus, the research aims to contribute to the historical reconstitution of land occupation and maintenance by black communities that fight for their identity.

This master’s dissertation is resulted to our investigation about the senses of honour shared between the habitants, mainly the women, from nineteenth century of Minas Gerais West. Through the criminal sues from historical Archive of Formiga’s Forum and other historical sources we check the mobilization of important virtues to personal reputation that conferred the honourability status. Arguments involving concept of honour could be used by who appealed the justice to repair a slander done to them name. Also by someone, involved in some crime, who wished to show honourability in front of the justice’s authorities. The demonstration of honour on the justice places was defence’s important part. Because, could to imply in the authorities’ decisions about the criminal sue. On the other hand, accuse the opponent’s infamy, or opponent’s shame, was a way to show superiority of values. Our approaches had focus in the region of Formiga, in the West of the province of Minas Gerais, between 1820s at 1870s, and our aim have been discovering the virtues that shaped the honour of the women from popular social strata.

Our dissertation came from a wooden oratory exhibited at the Museum of Sacred Art of São João del-rei (MAS-SJDR). In this oratory we can see a panoramic painting of the landscape of Vila de São João del-rei in the 19th century and two sculptural groups. In the first set we can see Escape to Egypt and in the second one a couple with a piper and a girl who seemd to be hearing him. The aim of this research was to promote an iconographic study of the piece of art analyzing the painting and sculptures in the mentioned object. For that, we divided our work into four chapters, the first on the analysis of the function of four object, the second on the analysis of the iconography of Escape to Egypt in the history of Art, the third on the paintings of landscapes in the world and in Brazil and finally, the fourth chapter on the life and works by Venânnio José do Espírito Santo.

This dissertation has as its object of study the land and slave markets in Distrito da Lage, in the second half of the 19th century. Based on social, political and economic articulations used by the main farmers in the region who maintained the best land holdings and the largest slavery.

The objective of this work is to analyze criminal cases involving ex-female slaves, in Oliveira, Minas Gerais, from 1890 to 1905. Based on the information contained in the proceedings and a specific bibliography, it is intended to understand who these women were and how their cases were challenged by Justice. In addition, the question of socio-racial appointments will be analyzed, and how they worked immediately after the abolition in the municipality and in the social breasts of these women. Through printed sources, the discourses on the post-emancipation turnaround in Oliveira will still be investigated, in order to understand how this context was configured in the region. The research focuses mainly on the trajectories undertaken by ex-captives in post-abolition, trying to collaborate, even minimally, on current debates on history, racialization, gender and human rights. This work aims to follow the paths of the current Brazilian historiography, fitting in the most recent studies on the post-abolition.

This thesis analyzes the circus appearances made in the city of Oliveira, Minas Gerais, between 1888 and 1920. More specifically, we studied some of the effects of the installation of the Estrada de Ferro Oeste de Minas in Oliveira in the late 19th century, for the transportation of circuses and the expansion of its offer of presentations. In such circumstances, we identified artistic companies that visited the city, the contribution of the railroad in its routes and repertoire of attractions. A set of newspapers that circulated in Oliveira at the end of the 19th century and the first two decades of the 20th century were used as the main research source. Documents produced by public agencies and works by memorialists were used as well. n this way, the work contributes to the deepening of the analysis about the circus, placing it as an important phenomenon for understanding the social life of Minas Gerais until the beginning of the 20th century.

To achieve this goal, the story of this print was first constructed and related to its publication to other similar initiatives also developed during the second half of the nineteenth century. Subsequently, the present study analyzed the relations between the linked images in the work cited above and a conscious attempt to create a certain narrative memory of the construction of the new capital of the state of Minas Gerais. Finally, this research still tries to identify the representations of modernity and civilizational progress contained in the photographs of the numerous architectonic and urbanistic projects created to compose the first planned city of the history of Brazil.

ABSTRACT
This essay deals about of intrinsic aspects to philosophical genesis and intellectual of the
Medieval Latin-speaking Europe on the context of the University in the 13thcentury. To
concretize this analyze we use the concept of “single individual” (individuum singularis)
expressed by Franciscan friar JohnDuns Scotus (c.1266-1308). The significant changes in the
Medieval education field and, therefore, in the philosophy, means transformations about
philosophical realization on what the individual is in its uniqueness. Such transformations are
given by new text reception of the Hellenic philosophy, specially, Aristotle and muslin
falsafa. Therefore, between the Universities of Paris and Oxford, Duns Scotus used of the
available texts to form the concept of individualby its uniqueness and developed a different
way compared to his antecessors. Basically, in the Aristotelian philosophy, the individuals are
formed when they come down from categories (genus, species and individual). Thus, the last
individuals were considered like an effect of species division. In other hand, John Duns
Scotus sees that exist something beyond of the specifics relationships to form the “single
individual” (or individual in its uniqueness). To develop this way, Scotus used three axes: a)
the essence would not be shared, so it is itself; b) the formation of the intellectual
intelligibility (specie intelligibile) is in a duality universal and singular, and c) on the
positivation principle is restrained in the individuation of the beings. From these three ways,
the Doctor Subtilisdevelopedthe perspective of the “singleindividual” or “individual in its uniqueness” for itself, the last, beyond of the species (ultra speciem);positive (against the platonic way) and nothing else can be said beyond its own singularity which is restrained in the individual.

A MERCÊS CRIOULA - ESTUDO ICONOLÓGICO DA PINTURA DE FORRO DA IGREJA DA IRMANDADE DE NOSSA SENHORA

The creation of the position justice of the peace, Law: 15 th October, 1827 (the position has foressen in the 1824 Constitution) was the nodal point of the reform of the judiciary structure undertaken by liberal people between the end of the First Empire and Regency. And then, the judiciary reform was the nodal point of new State construction. This dissertation is a study of the work from this public agent in the sociability in moderate liberalism, in São João del-Rei terms, judicial district of Rio das Mortes, from 1827 to 1834. Then, this concepts are used to search a dialectic relation between Society and State, therefore, they defend that the Brazilian State and Society construction, in the first half in XIX century, had been resulted of concomitant processes and of a variety of projects. So, concepts of influential people, hegemony and moral direction are of basic importance to understand the justice of the peace function from this period. The temporal clipping is from 1827, year of the approval of the Law that created the position justice of the peace, to 1842 and it encloses a period marked by the liberal reforms and the Regress. It is also a period of enlargement of the public spaces, particularly of the periodic ones, where the confrontations of the projects were incited. The wellspring of information used are “Astro de Minas” of and “O Universal” and the documents from Tow Hall in São João del-Rei. From this material searched we cam understand the function of the justice of the peace as important part in the moderate liberal project. The inventories and the nominative lists had also been basic the social economic profile construction of the elected justice of the peace.

This essay is about how the music was an activity that made possible the cognizance and/or social ascension to many mulattos and the Black in São João del-Rei in the 19th century. The music would be one of the ways to allow a good social insertion to the Black and the mulattos in that proslavery society and it would be part of a conscious strategy accepted for these individuals and some families with the objective of introducing in the good society. We use as a wellspring of information the periodicals, the ecclesiastics piles and of the laic fraternities, search in register office and the writer of memoirs attend to the identification of the composers and components of the “Lyra Sanjoanense” and “Ribeiro Bastos” Orchestras, and the constituition of their sociabilities in the 19th century São João del-Rei.

“Clube da Esquina” was a group of artists, mostly from Minas Gerais, formed by Milton Nascimento, Wagner Tiso, the brothers Márcio and Lô Borges, Beto Guedes, Fernando Brant, Ronaldo Bastos, Toninho Horta etc. In the 1970s, “Clube da Esquina” has won national and international recognition for bring to the general public aesthetic and ideological contents, which used to combine foreign music with Brazilian music through new processes of hybridization. Heirs of revolutionary romanticism of the '60s and its movement of "going to the people", Milton and “Clube da Esquina” made the “mineiridade” (regional identity of Minas Gerais) an embodiment of romanticism. However, while questioning the capitalist modernity, they have not left to talk to some of its elements, proposing a new articulation between the local and the global, what would allow them to say: "I am from the world, I'm Minas Gerais".
