O trabalho propõe a discussão sobre a construção do vocabulário político moderno utilizado na província do Rio Grande e na Banda Oriental durante o processo de formação das Cortes de Portugal, no processo de independência brasileiro, durante a elaboração da constituição nacional, na anexação da Província Cisplatina ao território brasileiro e no início da guerra de independência em relação ao Brasil. Termos como povo, nação, constituição e soberania, além de outros como opinião pública e autonomia política são considerados à luz dos eventos políticos no território brasileiro e oriental entre os anos de 1821 e 1825. Também a relação que se estabeleceu entre o império brasileiro e a condição da Província Cisplatina, principalmente sobre a relativa autonomia política, são consideradas nessa pesquisa. / The paper proposes a discussion on the construction of modern political vocabularies used in the province of Rio Grande and Eastern Band during the process of formation of the Cortes of Portugal, the Brazilian independence process during the drafting of the national constitution, the annexation of cisplatin province to Brazil and at the beginning of the war of independence in relation to Brazil. Terms such as people, nation, constitution and sovereignty, as well as opinion public and political autonomy are considered in the light of political events in Brazil and eastern territory between the years 1821 and 1825. Also the relationship established between the Brazilian Empire and the condition of cisplatin province manly on the relative political autonomy is considered in this research.

This dissertation examines the creation and performance of expressive vocal practices by Eastern Cherokees as they seek to revitalize the Cherokee language in North Carolina in the Eastern part of the United States. The Eastern Band of Cherokee of Indians is facing the impending loss of its heritage language due to a community-wide shift to English. To combat this loss, the community now operates a Cherokee language immersion school, New Kituwah Academy. This dissertation is based on ethnographic and linguistic data collected during the researcher’s five years as the music and art instructor at New Kituwah. Indigenous epistemologies of language and poetics are brought into discourse with methodological and analytical approaches in ethnomusicology and linguistic anthropology. Performative vocal practices are processes through which Eastern Cherokee speakers negotiate what it means to be “modern Kituwah citizens.” Contemporary Cherokee voices emerge from the ambiguities of poetic “language play” in speech and song. “Voice” is both a metaphorical representation of a Cherokee sovereign and an actual materiality produced by embodied, speaking, and singing subjects. The translation of new popular song texts into Cherokee is likewise explored as “working” or “playing” with language. Translation is a poetic process imbedded within broader socio-cultural systems of meaning and perception (ontologies). Translation and vocal play destabilize semantic connections and open up the possibility for alternative interpretations and meanings; they allow for sovereignty to flourish as Cherokees reimagine and reshape themselves and their world.

The use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has become increasingly important for the preservation of cultural resources by tribal entities. This project serves as a platform for the management of archaeological site data on the Qualla Boundary to be used by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO) members. Over the course of a year, data was gathered from various agencies in order to export and create geospatial data that can be visualized, analyzed, and managed using ArcGIS software. A map and detailed data set were created to provide the user with the locations and attributes of archaeological sites, which can be used by the EBCI THPO as a tool for archaeological research and to protect sites on the Qualla Boundary. Additionally, a preliminary settlement pattern study was performed for the broader Qualla Boundary, along with a more in-depth analysis of sites along the Oconaluftee River.

O trabalho investiga as articulações que elas mantiveram com suas respectivas reduções e também com outros atores sociais daquele espaço. As estâncias foram, em boa medida, responsáveis pelo sustento das reduções, uma vez que a criação de gado foi essencial à alimentação de suas populações, situação que as tornava diretamente responsáveis pela viabilidade das missões. Por isso, ao falar em espaço missioneiro, é preciso considerar tais áreas não “urbanas” como parte importante a que se refere. As estâncias apresentavam, entre suas estruturas, postos com currais, ranchos, galpões e capelas, sendo habitadas por um número de indígenas que variava durante o ano. Considerando isso, o texto aborda as dinâmicas de sua formação e organização, os trabalhos e trabalhadores que faziam parte de sua rotina, bem como as relações que, a partir delas, se estabeleciam com grupos de indígenas não reduzidos, colonos espanhóis e portugueses. Interessa ainda os litígios em que se envolveram as estâncias entre si e com os povoados missioneiros, bem como a forma como estes casos eram resolvidos. Esse estudo se baseou na leitura da literatura de referência e na análise intensiva de um conjunto variado de fontes jesuíticas tais como: memoriais, diários de padres, pareceres, cartas, processos de litígios, crônicas e mapas. Ao lado delas, foram consultados documentos procedentes da administração espanhola e diários dos administradores que assumiram os pueblos após a expulsão dos jesuítas. Por meio desse material, a tese busca elucidar a importância alcançada pelas estâncias, uma vez que se constituem como uma parte essencial da própria redução. / This thesis studies the missionary ranchs (estancias) of the Eastern Band of the Uruguay River in the first half of the 18th century. The work investigates the articulations that they maintained with their respective reductions and also with other social actors within that space. The ranches were, to a large extent, responsible for sustaining the reductions, since cattle farming was essential to feed their populations, which made them directly responsible for the viability of the missions (missiones). Therefore, when speaking in missions‟ space, it is necessary to consider such non-"urban" areas as an important part to which it refers. The estancias had corrals, ranches, sheds and chapels among their structures, being inhabited by several natives whose number varied during the year. Considering this, the text addresses the dynamics of its formation and organization, the tasks and workers that were part of its routine, as well as the relations that, from them, established themselves with groups of indiscriminate indigenous, Spanish and Portuguese settlers. It also interests the litigations amid the estancias themselves and also with the mission villages, as well as the way these cases were fixed. This study was based on the reading of the literature of reference and the intensive analysis of a varied set of Jesuit sources such as: memorials, diaries of priests, opinions, letters, litigation processes, chronicles and maps. Next to them, were consulted documents from the Spanish administration and diaries of the administrators who took over the pueblos after the expulsion of the Jesuits. Through this material, the thesis seeks to elucidate the importance reached by the estancias, since they constitute an essential part of the reductions.
