CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / A presente pesquisa tem a finalidade de investigar as relaÃÃes temporais que envolveram a BotÃnica, em seus diferentes nÃveis de atuaÃÃo, a partir das Ãltimas dÃcadas do sÃculo XVIII e ao longo do XIX. Nesse Ãnterim, Portugal modificou suas bases educacionais priorizando a HistÃria Natural, enfatizando os estudos dos vegetais e visando uma modernizaÃÃo agrÃcola. O Brasil pÃs-1822, à sua maneira, tratou de dar continuidade a tais medidas. Posto desta forma, a anÃlise deu-se de forma comparada, abordando polÃticas e aÃÃes implementadas entre os governos durante os regimes colonial e imperial. Metodologicamente partiu-se da capitania do CearÃ, contextualizando-a com outras espacialidades e focando em trÃs Ãreas de concentraÃÃo que estavam diretamente relacionadas à BotÃnica no perÃodo em questÃo: madeiras de lei, agricultura e plantas medicinais. A partir desses trÃs eixos, as discussÃes foram concentradas em conceitos elaborados por autores como Reinhart Koselleck e Bruno Latour, tais como: estratos do tempo, espaÃo de experiÃncia e horizonte de expectativa, aceleraÃÃo e progresso, prognÃsticos, ciÃncia em aÃÃo, centro e periferia, centrais de cÃlculos. As fontes perscrutadas, de modo geral, sÃo os Documentos Avulsos da Capitania do Cearà pertencentes ao Arquivo HistÃrico Ultramarino; publicaÃÃes cientÃficas; memÃrias; legislaÃÃes; relatÃrios de presidentes de provÃncias e ministeriais, revistas, jornais e obras literÃrias. / The aim of this work has been to investigate the time relations that have been involved Botanic in its different level of actuation, from last decades of the eighteenth century and throughout nineteenth century. During this time, Portugal changed its educational base throught of prioritization of Natural History, enphasizing vegetable studies with the aim of agricultural modernization. The post-1822 Brazil, in its own way, implemented the same actions. In this way, a comparative analysis was performed, addressing the politics and actions implemented among both governments during the colonial and the imperial regimes. The initial point of the study was the captaincy of CearÃ, contextualizing other specialties and focusing on three areas of concentration that were directly connected to Botanic in the studied period: hardwoods, agriculture and medicinal plants. In general, the following sources were consulted: single documents of the captaincy of Cearà belonging to Arquivo HistÃrico Ultramarino, scientific papers, memories, legislations, reports of presidents of provinces and ministries, magazines, newspapers, and literary works.

FundaÃÃo de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Cearà / O AÃude OrÃs à o ponto central dessa reflexÃo sobre o Rio Jaguaribe, buscando entender como o mesmo à visto, lido e escrito, contado e experimentado antes e depois dessa intervenÃÃo tÃcnica, feita no inÃcio da dÃcada de 1960. O trabalho pretende lidar com esta principal questÃo: como serà possÃvel perceber o Rio Jaguaribe, apÃs a construÃÃo do OrÃs? Que mudanÃas e permanÃncias poderÃo ser encontradas nesta trajetÃria? Os desdobramentos e questÃes a serem problematizadas a partir desta proposta partem das viagens concretas e simbÃlicas jà feitas por mim e outrem nas Ãguas do Jaguaribe. Tomando como referencia desse texto um elemento natural a princÃpio â o rio, busco me aproximar de WORSTER (1991, p. 199) quando diz que ―a histÃria ambiental trata do papel e do lugar da natureza na vida humana‖, para entender o porquà desta pesquisa. No texto, a construÃÃo do aÃude OrÃs, sua histÃria e trajetÃria, serÃo compreendidas a partir de uma experiÃncia de sentimentos, tais como a ausÃncia, a esperanÃa, o medo e a decepÃÃo, vistos como componentes de um microcosmo que refletia uma estrutura maior que à Ãpoca se constituÃa no paÃs e no mundo. Por fim, ao se aproximar da matÃria-prima da disciplina histÃrica, essa pesquisa tem uma indagaÃÃo derradeira: a partir da construÃÃo do aÃude OrÃs, que temporalidades o Jaguaribe inaugura para os sujeitos envolvidos nessa trama? Ocorre que, no contexto geogrÃfico e espacial desse estudo veremos que com o tempo, o Jaguaribe transmutou-se a partir das intervenÃÃes que sofreu. Sejam estas os aÃudes construÃdos ao longo de seu leito, as cercas que o isolou de suas populaÃÃes, os perÃmetros irrigados que dele se serviram, ao que parece, verificaremos que outro rio surgiu: um com nascente e foz no futuro, esperanÃa concreta de um devir, cujo perfil a ser alcanÃado à o de contribuir para que a regiÃo se torne aquilo que nunca foi. A partir dessas temÃticas, buscaremos entender o Jaguaribe imbricado à construÃÃo do AÃude OrÃs, pensando a histÃria da seca e da Ãgua no CearÃ, à luz de reflexÃes sobre a teoria dos estudos de histÃria ambiental, natureza e cultura e tambÃm contribuir com os estudos da histÃria social da ciÃncia e da tÃcnica, ao investigar tal relaÃÃo (rio-aÃude) nas dobras do tempo. / The OrÃs Dam is the central point of this study about Jaguaribe River, trying to understand how it is seen, read and written, counted and experienced before and after this technical intervention made in the early 1960s. This paper aims to deal with this main issue: how will it be possible to perceive the Jaguaribe River after the construction of the OrÃs Dam? What changes and permanencies can be found in this trajectory? The developments and issues to be problematized from this proposal depart from the concrete and symbolic journeys already made by myself and others in the waters of the Jaguaribe River. Taking, at first, as reference of this text a natural element - the river, I seek to approach WORSTER (1991, p. 199) when he says that "environmental history deals with the role and place of nature in human life"1, to understand the reason for this research. In this text, the construction of the OrÃs dam, its history and trajectory, will be understood from an experience of feelings, such as absence, hope, fear and deception, seen as components of a microcosm reflecting a larger structure than at that time it was the country and the world. Finally, as it approaches the raw material of the historical discipline, this research has a final inquiry: from the construction of the OrÃs dam, what temporalities does the Jaguaribe inaugurate for the subjects involved in this plot? It occurs that, in the geographical and spatial context of this study we will see that with time, the Jaguaribe has been transmuted from the interventions that it underwent. These interventions may be the dams built along its bed, the fences that isolated it from its populations, the irrigated perimeters served by it, it seems, we will verify that another river emerged: one with a source and a mouth in the future, a concrete hope for a future, whose profile to be achieved is to contribute to the region becoming what it never was. Based on these themes, we will try to understand the Jaguaribe River connected to the construction of the OrÃs Dam, thinking about the history of drought and water in CearÃ, in the light of reflections on the theory of environmental history, nature and culture studies and also contribute to the studies of social history of science and technique, while investigating such a relationship (river-weir) in the folds of time.

This study aims to insert the history of Aracaju city into an environmental history, whose questions reside to find the moments in which some premises and practices bad reintegrated were reforced in their foundation process, they have been remaining in the contemporary practices about their urban environment. Such worries at the present time join themselves, into the worries during the environmental crisis contemporary and the cities participation in this context. Like this, this work intends to contribute to the nature understanding of the relation man environment in their mechanisms of practices and appropriations into an environmental perspective, our objective is to describe and to analyze how evolved the urban legislation of Aracaju city in its environment perspective, among the decades from 1855 to 1920. In the same way, to understand how processed the management of Aracaju city in its initial years in the articulation of urban question with its development. Thereby, we search to understand several appropriations realized by competent discourse produced by intellectuals who themselves dedicated to the city and we crossed it into the legislation made to normalization and regulation of the urban legislation concurred to permanencies in the integration of urban question with its development. In this case, we understood that state actions were straight connected with the executing and elaborating of legal particularities that has permitted since the city origin, the rising of a tradition that has been prolonging itself in its history: The tradition of put land and destroy dunes to the promotion, struturaction and direct and indirect valorization of some specific areas of the city and the formation of an unstructured periphery with high occupation density. For better research operacionalization we applied to the urban legislation aracajuana the technique of the content analyze the urban Aracaju legislation and the usage concept definite by Michel de Certeau (1994) and applied to the city s users. / Esse estudo pretende inserir a história da cidade de Aracaju no âmbito de uma história ambiental, na qual as inquietudes residam em encontrar os momentos em que algumas premissas e práticas mal reinteiradas do seu processo de fundação foram reforçadas permanecendo nas práticas contemporâneas sobre seu ambiente urbano. Tais preocupações se enquadram, na atualidade, dentro das preocupações decorrentes da crise ambiental contemporânea e da participação das cidades nesse contexto. Desse modo, este trabalho pretende contribuir para o entendimento da natureza da relação homem-meio ambiente em seus mecanismos de práticas e apropriações. Dentro de uma perspectiva ambiental, nosso objetivo é descrever e analisar como evoluiu a legislação urbana de Aracaju na perspectiva do seu meio ambiente, entre as décadas de 1855 e 1920. Da mesma maneira, entender como se processou o gerenciamento da cidade de Aracaju em seus anos iniciais na articulação da questão urbana com o seu desenvolvimento. Nesse sentido, buscamos compreender as diversas apropriações realizadas pelo discurso competente produzido pelos intelectuais que se dedicaram à cidade e o cruzamos com a legislação traçada para normatização e regulamentação do uso do espaço aracajuano em seus anos iniciais. Ao final, identificamos que as práticas esboçadas sobre a cidade que se afirmaram na evolução de sua legislação urbana concorreram para as permanências no trato da integração da questão urbana com seu desenvolvimento. Neste caso, entendemos que as ações do Estado estiveram diretamente ligadas à execução e elaboração do aparato legal que permitiu, desde a origem da cidade, o surgimento de uma tradição que tem se prolongado em sua história: a tradição de aterramentos e arrasamentos de dunas para a promoção, estruturação e valorização, direta ou indireta, de algumas áreas específicas da cidade e a formação de uma periferia desestruturada com alta densidade de ocupação. Para melhor operacionalização da pesquisa aplicamos à legislação urbana aracajuana a técnica da Análise de Conteúdo e empregamos como aporte teórico os conceitos de uso definidos por Michel de Certeau (1994) e aplicados aos praticantes da cidade.

We will, in this way, treat of one of the interfaces of this river in its urban connotation. One will emphasize the movement of influence that the river presents on the interpretation of world by people, its configurations of meaning and the relations of affectivity of goianienses, and, specifically, of the inhabitants of its margins. We intent with this demonstrate "the place and the role of nature in human life" (WORSTER, 1991) correlating large factors linked to the river with expressions of individual senses and meanings. We propose ourselves to identify the wealth and the details of the relation of men with their environment, and also the historical intersections between a river and the regional and global context in which it is inserted within the methodological and theoretical perspective of Environmental History. / É no perímetro urbano da capital do Estado de Goiás que realizaremos nossos estudos acerca da relação homem/rio. Trataremos, desta forma, de uma das interfaces deste rio em sua conotação citadina. Enfatizar-se-á o movimento de influência do rio sobre a interpretação de mundo das pessoas, suas configurações de sentido e as relações de afetividade dos goianienses e, especificamente, dos moradores de suas margens. Intentamos com isso demonstrar “o papel e o lugar da natureza na vida humana” (WORSTER, 1991) correlacionando fatores amplos no que diz respeito ao rio com expressões de sentidos e significados particulares. Propomo-nos a identificar a riqueza e as minúcias da relação dos homens com seu meio, e também as intersecções históricas entre um rio e o contexto regional e mundial no qual ele se insere na perspectiva teórica e metodológica da História Ambiental.

This thesis focuses on fisheries managers’ efforts to restore native cutthroats to northern Nevada’s Pyramid Lake for recreation, and the Paiutes’ battle to preserve them as a means of livelihood. Their efforts to reconstruct the fishery revealed the implausibility of environmental restoration, but more importantly underlined the motivations necessary to attempt it. Chapter 2 describes how the Pyramid Lake Lahontan cutthroat— historically an important subsistence resource for Northern Paiutes— were initially exploited for profit in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and gradually destroyed as agricultural interests diverted the Truckee River’s water and industrial pollution contaminated the trout’s aquatic habitat. Fisheries managers in Nevada turned to artificial propagation to meet the demands of fishermen and replace the native fish industrialization destroyed. The Nevada Fish and Game Commission experimented with non-native introductions and like most of the West became proponents of rainbow trout and their recreational potential. Chapter 3 narrates a history of the Nevada Fish and Game Commission’s project to restore trout to Pyramid Lake in the 1950s and 1960s after its native cutthroat became extinct in the early 1940s. For the Commission, restoring Pyramid Lake meant establishing trout and salmon populations— native or not— to feed the growing outdoor tourism industry. While the Commission made plans to restore natural spawning runs, these were unsuccessful, and the Commission relied on stocking the lake to maintain the fishery. However, these experiments failed and eventually cutthroats from other lakes in Nevada proved better occupants of the lake. Chapter 4 describes the native cutthroat’s role in the water debate carried out in government agencies and in the courts in the 1970s and 1980s to decide whether or not water diverted from the Truckee for agriculture should be returned to the Paiutes to support their shrinking lake and dwindling fishery. Environmentalist groups like the Sierra Club joined the Paiutes in their effort to gain water that would allow for the native fishery’s restoration. Their vision clashed with that of agriculturists who feared losing water they depended on for their crops. However, after a lengthy struggle, the Paiutes won an important victory toward preserving their lake.

This creative thesis is a braided narrative in which I explore the promised lands of Utah through my travels in the summer of 2008, the Cold War defense industry, and the early career of writer Edward Abbey. America's domestic and foreign policy shifts in the first decade of the Cold War contributed to the rise of modern environmentalism and to the creation of countless new religious movements in the late 1960s and early 1970s. To illustrate the cataclysmic upheavals of this era, each chapter of this thesis has been organized according to anthropologist Anthony F. C. Wallace's schema of revitalization movements. In both an historical and personal context, I investigate the tensions between freedom and preservation, between defense and vulnerability, and, ultimately, between solitude and community.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This study explores the shared history of West Indianapolis and the White River and reveals an interdependent, yet conflicted, relationship between the people and the river. This relationship was part of a broader set of attitudes that natural resources were unlimited and that humans must master the landscape. From the founding of Indianapolis in 1821 until the flood of 1913, a series of uncoordinated human actions related to settlement and growth of the city took place. Despite noble intentions of progress and improvement, the cumulative effect of these actions resulted in unintended and undesired consequences in the form of a flood disaster in 1913, an unhealthy environment in West Indianapolis, and a negative identity for that community. One might argue that these results occurred because nineteenth century settlers in the Indianapolis area lacked an understanding of the nature of rivers or that scientists had not yet proven the germ theory. As shown in this study, however, the historical sources support an argument that the relationship between the people and the river dictated the fate of the river and the community of West Indianapolis, which suffered significant damage when White River overflowed its banks in the “Great Flood” of 1913.

Aerial Empire combines environmental and political history to argue that air shaped the United States’ colonization of the intermountain west. By focusing on environmental management and federal-Indian policy, it shows how claiming and regulating air as a natural resource both supported and subverted the nation’s control over the region in the twentieth century. A combination of white encroachment, warfare, diplomacy, and violence had transferred the region from Native to non-Native populations by the late nineteenth century. This process involved claiming western air, but appropriating the lower atmosphere required technology and policies devised during the twentieth century. Efforts to access and regulate air shaped twentieth-century U.S. expansion in New Mexico, Colorado, Montana, and Arizona, and turned a boundless atmosphere into a finite resource. Climate cures began the process of defining air as a natural resource, accelerated by aviation which compelled courts to legally distinguish navigable airspace from air rights in the 1920s. Nuclear science expanded atmospheric knowledge and smog undermined an approach to pollution based on dilution by 1950. As air pollution control shifted from a local to national issue, commercial and military jets increasingly crowded the skies. Environmental policy extended federal authority over air as a natural resource with the 1970 Clean Air Act, which tribes used to press federal recognition of their environmental sovereignty. Fluid and elusive, atmospheric motion subverted efforts to fix the sky in place and undermined territorial jurisdiction. Although modern legislation made air a material resource, the atmosphere remained interconnected with land in ways that complicated its regulation. Claiming air required seeing it as a material rather than an immaterial resource, and as a finite rather than infinite one. Tribes influenced and deployed environmental law to bolster Indigenous power and challenge the settler state’s authority over air, land, and Native peoples. Yet Indigenous and rural communities suffered disproportionate impacts of atmospheric transformations, such as nuclear testing, extractive industry, and military airspace. Efforts to claim, measure, map, and manage the atmosphere contributed to crucial changes in modern American society, including the transfer of Indigenous land, resources, and labor to settlers; the degradation and pollution of air with dangerous compounds and waste; the expansion of military control over new spaces; and the extension of federal authority through modern environmental policy. / 2028-10-31T00:00:00Z
