Immigration and ethnic issues are currently present in political discussions in the U.S. It is important to understand how immigration as a whole helps historians understand U.S. history. An issue that involves immigration debates in the South is the idea of Latinization introduced by Raymond Mohl in his article "Globalization, Latinization, and the Nuevo New South". He defines Latinization as a low-wage and low-skill labor market emphasizing Spanish speaking Latin American workers in manufacturing, construction and agriculture. He focuses primarily on Mexican-born immigrants and their influence on the labor force of Alabama's rural and urban economy. By extending this idea, scholars should also look at the role of non-Spanish speaking Latin Americans within Latinization. For instance, the Brazilian immigrants could also fit into Latinization in geographic terms. Brazilians are Portuguese speakers from a Latin American country with multi-ethnic backgrounds that could be included into Latinization. It is crucial that a brief historiography of ethnic history in the U.S. is introduced first in this research for a complete understanding for an analysis of Brazilian immigration in Florida within the context of Latinization.

Elencando como fontes principais o retrato do Irmão Lourenço e a Ceia, ambas as pinturas do Santuário do Caraça, MG, visamos identificar, através das apropriações e escolhas promovidas por Athayde, como se configuraria um momento histórico de mudanças estruturais no campo da produção das artes durante o início do XIX / Abstract: This thesis discusses the making process and understanding of the arts in Colonial Minas through an interpretation of the iconography developed by one of its greatest names: Manoel da Costa Athayde. Using as main sources the portrait of Brother Lawrence and the Supper, both paintings of Caraça Sanctuary, in Minas Gerais, we aim to identify, through the choices and appropriations made by Athayde, how a historic moment was setting itself through structural changes in the production field of the arts during the beginning of the eighteenth century / Mestrado / Historia / Mestre em História

archives@tulane.edu / In my thesis entitled “Deslocamentos na narrative contemporânea brasileira de autoria feminina” I argue that the novels and films that make up the corpus of this study break with essentialized constructions about female identities. In general, the works gathered here give prominence to female characters, their family, and their experiences, shifting modes of representation endorsed both by a literary and cinematographic tradition, and by practices of representation in the mass media. Heterogeneous among themselves, the novels and films selected here create symbolic territories where the subjectivity of women—be they black, white, indigenous, Jewish, daughters of political dissidents, or domestic servants—is valued and made visible in a multiplicity of representations and discourses. My dissertation contains an introduction, four chapters, and a conclusion. The first chapter analyzes how Elvira Vigna’s novel Deixei ele lá e vim (2006) explores contemporary paradigms of transsexuality and homo-affectivity, exposing the arbitrariness of gender roles. The second chapter analyzes Conceição Evaristo’s novel Becos da memória (2006). In this chapter I investigate how the narrator constructs her identity through a quest for the memories of her people, and by doing so she also challenges representations of black women and the fa-vela in literature and popular culture. In the third chapter I analyze the strategies used in the identity construction of indigenous women by the writer Eliane Potiguara in Metade cara, metade máscara (2004). The fourth chapter focuses on the authorial and autobiographical doc-umentaries directed by Sandra Kogut’s Um passaporte húngaro (2001), Petra Costa’s Elena (2014), and Maria Clara Escobar’s Os dias com ele (2012). In this chapter I investigate how the meaning of women’s bodies on-screen is changed through auto-representation and reflex-ivity. In this chapter I also analyze two long features, Anna Muylaerte’s Que horas ela volta? (2015) and Daniela Thomas and Walter Salles’ Linha de passe (2008), and how their main characters (housekeepers and their offspring) negotiate, and occupy spaces traditionally not al-lowed to them. My dissertation contributes to scholarly debates on authority and authorization pertaining to female authors and filmmakers in Brazil. It highlights how this group of artists reformulated long-established perceptions of representation and participation in the industry, while revealing new narratives with the power to influence signifying practices in contemporary Brazilian culture. / 1 / Angela Moura Rodriguez Mooney

Orientadora: Ana Maria Portich / Banca: Renata Soares Junqueira / Banca: Jorge Mattos Brito de Almeida / Resumo: Nesta pesquisa analisaremos as seguintes peças do dramaturgo brasileiro Oduvaldo Vianna Filho: A Mais-Valia Vai Acabar, Seu Edgar (1960), O Auto dos 99% (1962), Brasil Versão Brasileira (1962) e Quatro Quadras de Terra (1963). Nossa hipótese é que encontraremos, por um lado, alternativas ao drama e, por outro, resquícios de aspectos formais do drama burguês. O objetivo desta pesquisa é explicitar, ao analisar os elementos formais das peças, como e por que se distanciam do gênero dramático e se aproximam do épico, para então, investigar seus motivos. / Abstract: This research aims to analyze the following plays by brazilian dramatist, Oduvaldo Vianna Filho: A Mais-Valia Vai Acabar, Seu Edgar (1960), O Auto dos 99% (1962), Brasil Versão Brasileira (1962) and Quatro Quadras de Terra (1963). Our proposition is that, on the one hand, we will find alternatives to the dramatic form and, on the other, remaining formal aspects of the bourgeois drama. Our goal is to make explicit, by analyzing the formal elements of the plays, how and why these elements take distance from the dramatic literary genre and approach the epic one, so that their reasons can be investigated. / Mestre
