The aim of this MA dissertation is to focus on the language isolate of Jihlava mostly in the 20th century. In particular, on the events regarding the situation during the First Republic, when the tension between the Czech and German speaking citizens started to increase. The first part will be dedicated to a territorial and administrative division in order to establish grounds upon which the discussed events will be clarified and described in terms of ethnic and territorial situation. To resume the topic of my BA thesis and to accentuate the facts and results with regard to geographical demarcation, I would like to focus on the presidial writings from which I have already drawn in said thesis. I will attempt to reconstruct all the sources, except for the letters taken from archives which I have already used in my BA thesis. Emphasis will be put on the policy situation and then reports of the security authorities which were monitoring the difficult situation in the language isolate of Jihlava and which were reporting all the relevant information.

Ann Tizia Leitich wrote about America to a Viennese audience as a foreign correspondent with the unique and personal perspective of an immigrant to the United States. Leitich differentiates herself from other Europeans who reported on America in her day by telling of the life of the average working American. In so doing, Leitich uses her work as a foreign correspondent to create a new identity for Austria between the World Wars. Leitich uses America in the 1920's and 1930's as a cultural mirror in which the new Republic of Austria can see itself. Leitich's perspective of America is not only useful to the German-speaking audiences of her time, but also sheds light on America in the interwar period to readers of all backgrounds. Unfortunately, the influence of Leitich's journalism is currently limited to German-speaking audiences. Included are 31 translations of Leitich's articles for the benefit of English-speaking audiences to assist in further analysis of implications of her work.

[pt] A cidade do Rio de Janeiro passou por inúmeras mudanças durante a Primeira República. A então capital do país, vivia profundas mudanças, tais como a abertura da Avenida Central ou a derrubada do morro do Castelo.

[pt] Esta dissertação pretende analisar a prostituição feminina na cidade do Rio de Janeiro na virada do século XIX para o XX, tendo como foco a atuação de mulheres negras e pardas nesta prática. O objetivo principal é marcar a presença deste grupo de mulheres na história da prostituição, observando como o racismo, embasado pelas teorias raciais que se afirmaram na sociedade brasileira ao longo deste período, influenciou decisivamente a maneira pela qual elas foram encaradas por seus contemporâneos. Através dos testemunhos presentes nos principais jornais do período, assim como de registros policiais e judiciais, busca-se analisar as formas específicas de repressão e controle de que foram alvo por parte das instituições jurídicas e policiais desde 1871, assim como as experiências por elas compartilhadas entre as décadas finais do Império e os anos iniciais da República. Evidencia-se, com isso, o processo de construção de redes de solidariedade entre estas mulheres, bem como suas estratégias de sobrevivência frente às perseguições cotidianas que incidiam sobre elas. / [en] This dissertation aims to analyze female prostitution in Rio de Janeiro, from the turn of the nineteenth to the twentieth century, focusing on the role of black and brown women in this practice. The main goal is to mark a presence of these groups of women in the history of prostitution, observing how racism, based on racial theories, that were affirmed in Brazilian society throughout this period, decisively influenced the way in which they were faced by their contemporaries. Through the testimonies present in the main newspapers of the period, as well as of police and judicial records, the aim is to analyse the specific forms of repression and control that have been targeted by legal and police institutions since 1871, as well as the experiences shared by them between the final decades of the Empire and the early years of the Republic. This demonstrates the process of building networks of solidarity between these women, as well as their strategies for survival in the face of the daily persecutions that affected them.

The aim of the thesis is to present a basic, comprehensive view of the organisation of the system of courts, elaborated with a closer analysis relating to the personnel composition and overall functioning of the individual courts. The introductory section of the thesis deals with the historical development of the judicial system within the territory of today's Czech Republic, in particular the organisation of the court system during the period of the First Czechoslovak Republic (1918-1938).

The system of general courts is formed by district, regional and high courts, the Supreme Court and the Supreme Administrative Court. The thesis also includes a description of the functioning of judicial councils, the...

O presente trabalho trata de objeto de natureza interdisciplinar, a partir do qual abordamos questões linguísticas e sócio-históricas ligadas ao português paulista culto na São Paulo de início do século XX. Realizamos a descrição e análise da ordem de constituintes sentenciais em duas instituições escolares da Capital, complementarmente à análise das instituições e seus sujeitos, bem como de seu lugar na história/memória da cidade, buscando compreendê-los na dinâmica da vida paulistana da virada do século. O recorte linguístico considera as posições do sujeito e do clítico. O corpus é constituído de atas escritas por professores, diretores e secretários da Escola Normal (majoritariamente feminina) e do Ginásio da Capital (exclusivamente masculino), instituições importantes por seu papel na dinâmica de reorganização social e política em uma sociedade altamente heterogênea, em que as tensões repercutiam em formas diversas de distinção em todos os âmbitos da cultura local, inclusive o linguístico. Com o propósito de compreender amplamente nosso objeto, trabalhamos com os dados linguísticos e materiais que pudessem trazer ao presente um pouco da realidade da época e que recuperasse seus pontos de vista. Para isso, analisamos revistas de ensino, livros de matrícula, gramáticas, discursos e outras fontes. A perspectiva adotada, condizente com a natureza do objeto, é interdisciplinar, e teve por objetivo possibilitar uma análise do uso linguístico inserido nas relações sociais, assumindo pressupostos da sociolinguística, sociologia, antropologia e história, visando à compreensão integrada do fenômeno. / This work deals with an interdisciplinary object, in which we refer language issues and socio-historical linked to Portuguese Paulista in Sao Paulo early twentieth century. We perform the description and analysis of sentential constituent order in two schools of the capital, in addition to the analysis of institutions and their subjects, as well as its place in the history of the city, seeking to understand them in the dynamics of São Paulo of the early century. The linguistic focus considers the positions of subject and clitic. The corpus is composed of texts written by teachers, principals and secretaries of the Normal School (mostly female) and the Capital Gymnasium (exclusively male), important institutions for their role in the dynamics of social reorganization and politics in a highly heterogeneous society in which tensions had repercussions in various forms of discrimination in all aspects of local culture, including the language. In order to understand our object, we work with linguistic data and materials that could bring to present some of the reality of the time and to recover their views. For this, we analyze educational magazines, books, grammars, speeches and other sources. The perspective adopted is interdisciplinary, and aimed to enable an analysis of the inserted language use in social relations, taking on assumptions of sociolinguistics, sociology, anthropology and history, aiming at the integrated understanding of the phenomenon.

Esta dissertação, desenvolvida no Programa de Pós-Graduação em História Social da Universidade de São Paulo (USP), vincula-se também ao Programa de Pesquisas em História da Cultura Material do Museu Paulista/USP, na linha de pesquisa História dos Museus e das Exposições. Seu objeto de estudo é a formação do Museu Republicano Convenção de Itu, extensão do Museu Paulista no interior do Estado (o primeiro museu histórico brasileiro dedicado à República), emblemático por ter-se constituído como projeto de alguns dos chamados republicanos históricos, que estiveram à frente do governo brasileiro na Primeira República. Seu recorte cronológico abrange desde o momento que antecede a inauguração do Museu, realizada em 1923, até o final da gestão de Affonso Taunay, seu primeiro Diretor, em 1946. Os museus de história têm suscitado reflexões de diferentes autores, em diferentes perspectivas. A contribuição que pretendemos dar para esta discussão desenvolve-se não na perspectiva da História Política, mas sim da Cultura Material e da Museologia, isto é, a partir do exame de seu acervo e sua exposição. / This dissertation was written as part of the Social History Post-Graduate Program at Universidade de São Paulo (USP), as well as of the Material Culture History Research Program of the Museu Paulista/USP, in the research line: History of Museums and Exhibitions. Its object refers to the establishment of the Museu Republicano Convenção de Itu, which is a branch of the Museu Paulista in the interior of São Paulo State (the first museum in the country dedicated to the Republic), and an emblematic project developed by some of the \"historical republicans\", the ones who were at the head of the Brazilian government in the First Republic. Its chronological scope ranges from the moment before the museum opening in 1923 until the end of the management of Affonso de Taunay, its first Director, in 1946. History museums have been the object of reflections by many authors from different perspectives. The contribution that we hope we may offer to such topic is developed not from the perspective of Political History, but is based on Material Culture and Museology, i.e., on the investigation of the museum´s collection and exhibition.
