Por meio de um instrumental teórico voltado para uma relação dinâmica entre o referente e o imaginário desencadeado, fruto de um confronto descompassado entre o olhar nativo e o olhar apropriador, temos a formação de um discurso que, até as primeiras décadas do século XX, tende a reforçar todo um espectro de estereótipos depreciativos em relação ao mestiço brasileiro e, em particular, ao habitante da Amazônia. Tomando como base ilustrativa a ficção de Márcio Souza voltada para a Amazônia, temos o resultado, na verdade, de séculos de enfrentamento, tornando-se, portanto, uma resposta contundente a toda herança legada pelo imaginário colonizador. Seus romances Galvez, imperador do Acre, Mad Maria, A resistível ascensão do Boto Tucuxi e O fim do Terceiro Mundo estabelecem uma espécie de confronto decisivo, explorando uma sátira altamente corrosiva, para toda uma avaliação de percurso ainda no século XX, retomando principalmente os percalços históricos e políticos da sua região no sentido de se afirmar uma linguagem e também um modo próprio de ver o mundo. / Abstract: The aim of this thesis is to rediscuss one of the main features which framed the Brazilian Amazonia throughout the centuries. Until the first decades of the twentieth century, one can see the formation of a discourse which tends to reinforce all the shades of a derogatory stereotype towards the Brazilian inter-racial relations and, in particular, towards the inhabitant of the Amazonia. The formation of this discourse is provided through theoretical means, focused on a dynamic relation between the referent and the triggered which is the result of the unequal confrontation between the native's view and the appropriator's one. Marcio Souza's fiction, which is focused on the Amazonia, is, actually, the result of centuries of confrontation which has turned out to be a decisive reply to the heritage left by the colonizer's imaginary. His novels Galvez, imperador do Acre, Mad Maria, A resistível ascensão do Boto Tucuxi and O fim do Terceiro Mundo establish a type of conclusive turn, exploiting a highly sour satire, to the evaluation of the period, still in the 20th century; and moreover, they exploit mainly the historical and political difficulties of his region, in the sense of reaffirming a language and also a proper manner of envisaging the world. / Doutor

acase@tulane.edu / This dissertation combines ethnohistory and ethnography to produce a unified description of Makushi ecology, economy, socio-politics, and cosmology in the past and present. It is based upon ethnographic data obtained through fieldwork with the Makushi in Surama Village, Guyana, and upon ethnohistorical data obtained through archival research. This dissertation seeks to examine the past and present of the Makushi in order to elucidate a cultural logic that continues and perdures in their society and in their relations with the outside world. As described in this dissertation, Makushi cultural logic posits an inward and directed movement of outside elements (people, material goods, and knowledge) into Makushi society and a subsequent incorporation of these elements for individual and collective purposes of renewal and transformation. This cultural logic posits a basic distinction between inside and outside and locates mediating entities at the boundaries between these domains. A focus on Amazonian encounters with alterity recurs throughout Amazonian ethnology. Anthropologists have highlighted the ways in which Amazonian societies encounter and incorporate outside elements, whether affines, war captives, material goods, or names and other symbolic items, for various purposes related to the reproduction of internal social relations, the marking of self-identity through contrastive alterity, and the transformation of self towards alterity. Using the theoretical frameworks of historical ecology and Amerindian perspectivism, this dissertation contributes to the literature by showing how the Makushi have sought outsiders in the past (missionaries) and present (tourists and consultants) and have incorporated their material goods and knowledge. In the nineteenth century, this is seen in the rise of syncretic religions with goals of material abundance and self-transformation. In the present, it is seen in Makushi attempts at transformation through interactions with tourists and consultants. In both cases, one finds a cultural logic that links Makushi relations with outsiders to ecological, economic, socio-political, and cosmological relations. This dissertation argues that such relations between inside and outside domains lie at the perduring heart of Makushi identity. / 1 / James Andrew Whitaker

The objective of this report is to explore the design characteristics for a repository of indigenous Amazonian digital cultural heritage objects. I first examine the design objectives in relation to the available collection of digital objects. I then analyze the characteristics and expectations of the user community, and the implications of these expectations for repository design. I report on the specific intellectual property rights (IPR) laws and ideals applicable to this collection. I review possible copyright and licensing systems to protect indigenous IPR. In particular, I discuss the Mukurtu content management system (CMS) and its associated Traditional Knowledge licenses. I then report on my efforts to use the Mukurtu CMS as a means for making the collection available to the user community and for long-term digital preservation. I conclude with ideas about how Mukurtu or a similar content management system could be used for long-term management and preservation of indigenous Amazonian digital cultural heritage. / text

Nota-se que as referências imagéticas produzidas pelo jornalismo muito têm a ver com as imagens de Amazônia já construídas na literatura. De acordo com o aporte teórico desta pesquisa, as imagens sobrevivem em outras imagens, em outras cronologias e no movimento de anacronia. A teoria da sobrevivência e/ou intermitência das imagens é fundamentada nas discussões de Georges Didi-Huberman e Walter Benjamin, filósofos que põem as imagens no centro da história. A dissertação aponta como as imagens sobrevivem e são acionadas intersectando o presente por meio das narrativas que o jornalismo constrói.<br> / Abstract : This study examines and confronts Amazon images presented by Man-chete and Veja magazines, editions from 1968 to 1989; 1970 to 1999; and literary images from texts, found in the novels À margem da histó-ria (1909), by Euclides da Cunha; A Selva (1930), by Ferreira de Castro; Contos Amazônicos (1893), by Inglês de Sousa and Cinzas do Norte (2005), by Milton Hatoum. It's important to note that the reference im-agery produced by journalism has much to do with the Amazon image already built in the literature. In accordance with the theoretical appa-ratus of this study, the images survive on other images, survive in other chronologies and in the anachronism' movement. The theory of survival and / or intermittence's images is based on Georges Didi-Huberman and Walter Benjamin discussions, philosophers that put the images in the center of history. The dissertation shows how images survive and are trigger intersecting the present through the narratives that journalism builds.

Considerando que o conhecimento sobre a formação e incorporação de MO nestes solos vem sendo investigada recentemente, e que análises geoquímicas orgânicas revelaram-se ferramentas interessantes para a investigação das fontes de MO em solos, o objetivo deste estudo é investigar e comparar a distribuição de compostos orgânicos (principalmente lipídios) preservados nas frações "livres", "alcalinas" e "ácidas" de quatro solos TPI, três solos TM e dois solos adjacentes (argissolos) da Estação Experimental do Caldeirão, Iranduba-AM, Brasil. Os principais compostos detectados em todas as frações de todos os solos foram: ácidos monocarboxílicos n-saturados, ramificados e insaturados, hidroxiácidos e álcanóis (álcoois lineares n-saturados). Na fração alcalina foram detectados também diácidos e dihidroxiácidos (principalmente derivados da suberina) e ácidos aromáticos derivados da lignina/suberina em todos os solos, bem como 5?-colesterol, ácidos biliares e ácido fosfórico apenas nos solos TPI. Em geral, as análises dos compostos orgânicos (lipídios) nas frações "livre", "alcalina" e "ácida" são complementares e, juntas fornecem informações valiosas sobre a incorporação de MO nos solos TPI e TM. Diferentes distribuições de ?-hidroxiáxidos, ácidos biliares, diácidos, dihidroxiácidos e ácido 9(10),16-dihidroxihexadecanóico mostraram uma origem distinta para os solos antropogênicos estudados. A influência da vegetação moderna nestes solos antropogênicos foi detectada apenas no topo dos perfis (superfície). A presença do colesterol e dos ácidos biliares apenas nos solos TPI, é um forte indicativo da incorporação de fezes e/ou mesmo restos humanos a esses solos. Os dados obtidos através da pirólise acoplada à cromatografia gasosa e a espectrometria de massas (PI-GC-MS) e da termoquimólise acoplada à cromatografia gasosa e a espectrometria de massas (THM-GC-MS) mostraram poucas diferenças entre a composição dos solos TPI e do solo adjacente. Porém, esses resultados juntamente aos obtidos para os lipídios extraíveis auxiliaram na determinação da origem da matéria orgânica incorporada aos solos.<br> / Abstract : Terra Preta de Índio (TPI) and Terra Mulata (TM) soils are anthropogenic soils from the Amazon region, rich in stable organic matter (OM). Considering that the knowledge about the formation and incorporation of OM on these soils has recently been investigated, and that geochemical analysis has been revealed as an interesting toll for the investigation of the sources of OM in soils, the aim of this study is to investigate and to compare the distribution of organic compounds (mainly lipids) preserved in the "free", "alkaline" and "acid" fractions of four TPI soils, three TM soils and two adjacent soils (untilsoil) of the Caldeirão Experimental Station, Iranduba-AM, Brazil. The main compounds detected in all fractions of the all soils were: alkanoic acid n-saturated, ramified and unsaturated, hydroxyacids and alkanois (alcohols n-saturated). In the "alkaline" fraction were also detected dialkanoic diacids and dihydroxyacids (mainly suberine-derivatives) and aromatic acids lignin/suberine derivatives in all the soils, as well as 5?-cholesterol, bile acids and phosphoric acid only in the TPI soils. In general, the analysis of the organic compounds (lipids) in the three fractions ("free", "alkaline" and "acid") were complementary and, together they provided valuable information about the OM incorporation in the TPI and TM soils. Different distributions of ?-hydroxyacids, bile acids, dialkanoic diacids, dihydroxyacids and 9(10),16-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid showed a distinct genesis for the anthropogenic soils studied. The influence of the modern vegetation in these anthropogenic soils was detected only in the top of the profile (surface). The presence of the 5?-cholesterol and the bile acids only in the TPI soils is an indicative of the incorporation of feces and/or even humans remains in these soils. The data obtained throught the pyrolysis coupled to the gas chromatography and the mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS) and thermochemolysis coupled to the gas chromatography and the mass spectrometry (THM-GC-MS) showed few differences among the composition of the TPI and the adjacent soils. However, these resulted together with the data obtained of the lipids extracted aided in the determination of the origin of the OM inputed at the soils.
