Analiso a trajetória do militar, professor e empresário negro Sydnei Lima Santos (1925-­2001), o Coronel Sydnei. Nascido no Rio de Janeiro e de origem modesta, tornou-­ se oficial do Exército, mudou-­se para Curitiba ainda no início da carreira e ali construiu uma grande instituição de ensino superior, a Universidade Tuiuti do Paraná. Investigo como essa história excepcional foi moldada por condicionantes de classe social e de raça ao longo de dois movimentos distintos no espaço social: o movimento de ascensão e a conquista de uma posição de classe dominante. Desde uma perspectiva mais subjetiva, examino ainda a atitude que o Coronel desenvolveu frente à questão racial em correspondência com a ideologia dominante na sua época: a democracia racial. / I analyze the trajectory of the military, professor and businessman Sydnei Lima Santos (1925-­2001), also known as Coronel Sydnei. Born in a humble family in the city of Rio de Janeiro, he became an army officer, moved to the city of Curitiba still in the beginning of his career, and ended up building an important private higher education institution, Universidade Tuiuti do Paraná. I investigate how this exceptional history was shaped by class and race conditionings along two distinct displacements in the social space: a movement of social ascension and the achievement of a dominant class position. From a more subjective standpoint, I still examine the attitude developed by the Coronel towards the racial problem in correspondence to the dominant ideology of his time: the racial democracy.

This thesis argues that the bird depicted in art found in funerary contexts of the Greek Bronze Age is a representation of the soul released from the body. This conclusion was reached by tracing the origins of the avian qualities of the winged psyche present in Classical funerary art. The soul begins as a bird in the Bronze Age in certain funerary contexts and this continues in the Geometric period. In the Archaic period, the soul takes on human characteristics and it is represented by a figure with human head and feet but a bird body with wings. In the Classical period, the soul is mostly human with only wings remaining as a vestige of the avian origin. These soul-birds appear in art found in funerary contexts that depict some stage of the funerary ritual. The thesis begins by discussing the Greek concept of the soul and how it was first conceived as several different entities but then became unified under the term psyche. The main evidence in this first chapter is the Homeric epics, which date to the eighth century BC, the mythic cycle of Orpheus. which was popular in the sixth century BC, and the philosophy of Plato from the fourth century BC. The progression of the soul toward a unitary model is important to this argument because it complements the increasing amount of human qualities that the bird in art acquires. Chapter Two outlines the funerary customs of the ancient Greeks in order to show how the Greeks treated the dead body and to show how they may have perceived the soul. Chapter Three details some of the scholarship on the birds including early theories about the soul as a bird. The most popular theory is that the bird represents a divine epiphany, meaning a manifestation of the divine in this world, but it is applied uncritically and it is not always appropriate for the bird in funerary art. Chapters Four, Five, and Six discuss the art of the Bronze Age, Geometric period. and the Archaic and Classical periods, respectively. The overall conclusion of this thesis is that the bird in funerary art of the Bronze Age can represent the soul of the deceased in some funerary contexts and it is the antecedent of the winged souls of the art in the Classical period. The aim is not to disprove the theory of divine epiphany in bird form, but to assert and highlight another possible interpretation in order to open up other avenues of interpretation and to shed light on Greek conceptions of the soul.

Tendo em vista que a maioria dos estudos sobre raça e classe no Brasil evidenciou a adesão dos negros que ascendem à ideologia do branqueamento, dialogamos com esta literatura no sentido de entender a recorrência de mudanças no comportamento destes indivíduos. Partimos da hipótese de que estes sujeitos têm se engajado socialmente criando redes de relações junto à população negra menos favorecida, no sentido de auxiliarem membros desta população a superarem a vulnerabilidade social e racial.

O estudo reflete sobre a experiência de vinte profissionais negros que ocuparam postos de alto escalão na hierarquia do serviço público em Salvador (BA) nas últimas décadas. A partir da fala dos sujeitos da pesquisa analisam-se histórias por eles vivenciadas, na tentativa de entender as microdinâmicas dessa ascensão: conhecer os caminhos percorridos, apreender os significados autoatribuídos, como também a relação entre tais processos de mobilidade social e a construção de identidades. Para tanto efetuou-se o levantamento de historias de vidas a partir de entrevistas em profundidade realizadas com os próprios atores sócias, além de questionários e pesquisa bibliográfica em fontes diversas. This research deals with social mobility and analyzes the way through which mobility takes place among black people in the public service. It focuses on the career of twenty professionals that have taken important position the public service over the last few decades in Salvador. Their narrative is scrutinized for the purpose of understanding the micro-dynamics associated with this upward mobility: perceiving their trajectory and how they assign meaning as well as the relationship between theses processes of social mobility and identity formation. Life histories were constructed by means of a set of long in-depth interviews. Data was also gathered through questionnaires and archival research on different sources. / Salvador

As origens da pujança econômica e da diversidade social e cultural de São Paulo são temas estudados por historiadores e economistas. Nesta tese, propõe-se um estudo da riqueza de Campinas durante a economia cafeeira, de 1870 a 1940, recorte temporal este que inicia com o auge da cafeicultura, chegando até aos primeiros desenvolvimentos de uma economia industrial e urbana. A excepcional expansão das exportações de café e a imigração de europeus, de meados do século XIX em diante, estimularam a diversidade dos mercados de trabalho e de consumo locais e tornou possível aos indivíduos comuns ascenderem socialmente em uma hierarquia dominada pela elite cafeeira. A principal fonte documental utilizada foi uma série de inventários post mortem, dos quais sistematizamos as informações pessoais dos inventariados e as propriedades declaradas e orçadas nas suas partilhas. Analisou-se, primeiramente, as origens nacionais e as ocupações econômicas dos inventariados. Na sequência, considerou-se o conjunto das riquezas líquidas dos processos e a composição das propriedades de cada indivíduo. Os dados demonstram ter havido uma extrema desigualdade na distribuição da riqueza em Campinas. Todavia, também encontramos casos de mobilidade ascendente, especialmente entre os imigrantes italianos, que foram maioria no conjunto das colônias estrangeiras do período. / The origins of São Paulos economic vigour and social diversity are topics broadly studied by historians and economists. In this thesis, we investigate the wealth accumulation in Campinas during the coffee economy from 1870 to 1940 a period that begins with the zenith of the coffee production, stretching itself to the first glimpses of a more industrial economy. The leading source used is a sample of post-mortem inventories, from which we codified the inventoried personal data and their declared and budgeted properties listed in their apportionments. The national origins and the economic occupations of the inventoried were primarily analysed. Further, the amount of net wealth of the processes and the composition of the properties of each individual were considered. The data suggest there had been an extreme inequality in the distribution of such wealth. Nevertheless, we found several cases of ascending mobility, especially amongst the Italian immigrants, who represented the majority among the immigrant families in the period.
