Giram os Sputniks nas alturas, ferve a ImaginaÃÃo nas planuras: a ciÃncia e o bizarro no Cearà em fins da dÃcada de 1950 / They turn the Sputniks in the heights, boils the Imagination in the planuras: science and bizarro in the Cearà in ends of the decade of 1950

TÃcito Thadeu Leite Rolim 14 December 2006 (has links)
nÃo hà / O objetivo desta DissertaÃÃo foi o de recuperar as diferentes percepÃÃes em torno dos fenÃmenos ocorridos na dÃcada de 1950, no estado do CearÃ, descritos como clarÃes, estrondos e objetos luminosos. Estes episÃdios repercutiram de forma controversa na imprensa local, na medida em que, de um lado, alguns consideravam como resultantes do progresso da CiÃncia e Tecnologia que permitiu a Corrida Espacial e Armamentista (que se tornou um dos ingredientes da disputa de poder entre EUA e URRS, durante a Guerra Fria) e, por outro lado, para outros, apareciam como fenÃmenos estranhos e inexplicÃveis para os quais se davam explicaÃÃes fantÃsticas. Consultando periÃdicos de diferentes tendÃncias â a revista americana Time, o jornal do PCB O Democrata, e jornais da imprensa local do Cearà como O Povo, UnitÃrio, O Jornal etc, alÃm de outros documentos (inclusive alguns sà recentemente liberados pelo Departamento de Defesa americano) -- procuro recuperar o debate que se estabeleceu e os sentimentos de euforia pelo progresso que representavam, assim como os de medo e de estranhamento, por parecerem fantÃsticos, bizarros e inusitados. / This Dissertation intends to recover the many different perceptions around some phenomena occurred in the 50âs, in the State of CearÃ, described as flashes of light, blasts and luminous objects. These events repercuted in a controversial way in the local press as, on one hand, some people considered them as a result of progress in Science and Technology that allowed Space and Arms Race (that become one of the ingredients of the power dispute between US and USSR in the Cold War) and, on the other hand, for some other people, they showed up as strange and inexplicable phenomena, to which were given fantastic explications. In a search through newspapers from many tendencies -- American Time magazine, the communist paper O Democrata, and other papers from Cearà local press, such as O Povo, UnitÃrio, O Jornal etc, besides some other documents (some of them just declassified by US Department of Defense) -- I intend to recover the debate that was established and the feelings of euphoria by the progress that they represented as well as those of fear and oddly, once they seemed fantastic, bizarre, and unusual.
