Publicado no Brasil em 1988, o trabalho originalmente foi defendido e aprovado como tese de doutorado pela Universidade de Chicago em 1978. Nessa obra, o autor avalia as campanhas para a eleição presidencial de 1955, sobretudo a de Juscelino Kubitschek. Secretário de JK na década de 1970, Riedinger se serviu de fontes escritas e orais para compor a narrativa do período, incluindo entrevistas com o próprio Kubitschek e outros atores políticos da época. Por se tratar de obra escrita por um norte-americano sobre um tema brasileiro, Como se faz um presidente pode ser inserida no conjunto da produção brasilianista, ao mesmo tempo em que se destaca por abordar um momento pouco estudado em proporção ao volume de trabalhos sobre o governo JK e suas políticas econômicas. Dessa forma, nosso estudo pretende levantar as possíveis relações entre o trabalho de Riedinger com a produção brasilianista, assim como avaliar quais as fontes mais consultadas ao longo da obra. Além disso, ao considerar as principais referências, esta pesquisa também pretende avaliar como o uso de certos documentos combinou com um estilo de narrar os eventos baseado principalmente nas perspectivas pessoais dos envolvidos. Escrito a partir de fontes próximas ao tempo e local dos acontecimentos, Como se faz um presidente insere os eventos mais imediatos numa perspectiva histórica que alguns autores denominam de história do tempo presente. / This research purpose is to examine the production Como se faz um presidente of the author Edward Anthony Riedinger. Mr. Riedinger literary work was published in Brazil in 1988, as part of the author Ph.D. program on Chicago University in 1978. The author analyzed the Brazilian presidential run of 1955, with focus on Mr. Juscelino Kubitschek campaign. Riedinger have worked as Juscelino’s secretary, having the opportunity of recording interviews with Juscelino himself and others prominent politicians. Considering that Como se faz um presidente was written by an north american author about a Brazilian historical moment, it can be considered a brazilianist production and it is a distinguished composition fulfilling a lack of researches about that particular time, especially in comparison with the amount of papers regarding JK government and his economic policy. This work has a particular aim of to display some possible relations between Mr. Riedinger written work and brazilianists ones, also depicting the book excerpts. In addition, this written work studies how historical documents can be used to serve to a proper events narration way based on people participant’s perspectives. Como se faz um presidente was written close to the information sources of its historic case, bringing all related events in a historical perspective named by some specialists as time present history.

Ce travail se concentre sur le cours d'analyse enseigné à l'École polytechnique de 1795 à 1809. En devenant professeurs, plusieurs mathématiciens au tournant du 19ème siècle y ont contribué par des ouvrages importants d’Analyse. Parmi eux, Joseph-Louis Lagrange (1736-1813) joua un rôle central, en y devenant le premier Institutor d'analyse. Les trois premiers chapitres de cette thèse se focalisent sur les leçons que Lagrange donna de 1795 à 1799. En insistant sur le fait que Lagrange enseignait l'arithmétique à l’École Polytechnique avant son cours d'analyse, la première partie de cette thèse clarifie les raisons pour lesquelles de Lagrange incorporait ces éléments d’arithmétique et leur relation avec le cours d’analyse. Cette étude fournit une discussion détaillée des concepts fondamentaux des mathématiques dans les cours de Lagrange. Ainsi, on y montre que l'intention de Lagrange est de lier des branches différentes de l'analyse à l'algèbre à l'arithmétique. Ce travail montre de quelles façons et en quels termes Lagrange unifie ces branches. De plus, cette thèse met l'accent sur les valeurs épistémologiques que Lagrange poursuit et défend dans ses travaux mathématiques, sur la base desquelles Lagrange a choisi la méthode des développements des fonctions en séries pour présenter les principes du calcul différentiel. La but de la deuxième partie de cette thèse est de montrer à quel point le cours de Lagrange à l'Ecole Polytechnique a influencé l'enseignement de trois autres professeurs: Joseph Fourier (1768-1830), Jean-Guillaume Garnier (1766-1840) et Sylvestre-François Lacroix (1765-1843). Fourier inventa une nouvelle méthode en croisant la méthode de Lagrange et la méthode des limites. Garnier et Lacroix suivent essentiellement la méthode de Fourier, mais avec quelques modifications. En comparant les deux traités du calcul différentiel de Lacroix, cette étude montre que la pratique de l’enseignement, ainsi que la destination des élèves de l’École Polytechnique ont constitué des facteurs importants dans l’évolution des principes du calcul différentiel et de leur présentation / This work studies the courses of analysis taught at the Ecole Polytechnique (EP) from 1795 until 1809. Several mathematicians of the eighteenth century contributed important works as they practiced the teaching of analysis at this school. Joseph-Louis Lagrange (1736-1813) was the central figure, who had been the first professor of the course of analysis at the EP and had great impact on his successors. In order to show in which way and to what degree the lectures that Lagrange gave exerted influence on the teaching of analysis at the EP, this dissertation gives a detailed discussion on Lagrange’s publications and courses of analysis, as well as those by other teachers, i.e. Joseph Fourier(1768-1830), Jean-GuillaumeGarnier(1766-1840)andSylvestre-FrançoisLacroix (1765-1843). It achieves the following conclusions. First, Lagrange, taking into account the utility for students, chose to found analysis on the method of the developments of functions in series, so that analysis could be united with algebra, and arithmetic as well. Second, Lagrange’s approach to differential calculus, as well as the epistemic values he pursued in his mathematical works, provided influential source for the teaching of analysis by other professors. The thesis is that the three professors who taught beside or after Lagrange followed Lagrange’s ideas, although each made some modifications on his own course

Les débuts du mouvement Sinn Féin (avant 1916) ont été présentés par des générations d’historiens comme ceux d’un petit parti politique sans succès qui eut un impact disproportionné sur le paysage politique de l’époque. Cette vision, cependant, ne représente que la partie visible de l’iceberg. A l’aide des comptes rendus des réunions de la Sinn Féin Printing and Publishing Company, qui imprima la plus grande partie de la propagande du Sinn Féin, cette étude remet en question l’historiographie conventionnelle. En examinant la production matérielle de la SFPP, nous tentons de mettre à jour ce projet dynamique soutenu par des hommes d’affaires dublinois, des fonctionnaires et des employés de bureau, ainsi que par l’expertise de professionnels de l’imprimerie et de juristes pendant une période de changements profonds à la fois dans l’industrie de la presse mais aussi dans la société irlandaise. Le portrait du Sinn Féin qui en ressort n’est pas celui d’un parti marginal mais plutôt celui d’un réseau international de militants connectés entre eux uniquement par les journaux qu’ils lisaient et travaillant tous individuellement à l’indépendance de l’Irlande. / The early Sinn Féin movement (before 1916) has been represented by generations of historias as a small and unsuccessful political party which had a disproportionate impact on the political landscape of its time. This, however, is only the tip of the iceberg. Using the minutes of the meetings of the Sinn Féin Printing and Publishing Company,which printed the vast majority of Sinn Féin’s propaganda, this study challenges conventional historiography. Focusing on the material production of the SFPP it exposes a dynamic project supported by sympathetic Dublin tradesmen, public officials and clerical workers, and by the expertise of printing professionals and lawyers during a period of profound change both in the newspaper industry and in Irish society. The picture of Sinn Féin which emerges is not of a marginal party but rather of an international network of militant readers connected only by the newspapers they read and all working as individuals towards an independent Ireland.

Operation Pedro Pan, as labeled by a Miami journalist, was a program backed by the Unites States federal government and executed by the Catholic Church which brought over 14,000 unaccompanied Cuban minors to the U.S. between December 1960 and October 1962. I knew about this wave of immigration because my maternal grandparents were two of these children. I was surprised to find that most scholarship on Cuban immigration to the U.S. either neglects to mention the children’s exodus or only briefly references it in passing. This was even more surprising to me when I learned that Operation Pedro Pan was and still is the largest exodus of children in the Western Hemisphere. I was curious as to why it has been left out of a significant amount of scholarship on Cuban immigration, and in searching for answers, I instead came upon more questions. The most glaring of which was why there seemed to be two contrasting narratives about the history of Operation Pedro Pan.

One of the problems which has intrigued English historians for over a hundred years is that of the position of the common man in early England. Was he a freeman working land held communally by the village, or was he a serf laboring upon the land of an overlord? Since this question of freedom is inextricably interwoven with landholding concepts the problem may also be stated another way: Did private property in land exist from the earliest times, or is that institution the result of centuries of appropriation by individuals of land originally belonging to the commmunity as a whole? In the late 19th century a group of English historians devoted themselves to the study of this problem. The conclusions they reached varied considerably. The purpose of this essay is to examine some of those conclusions and the suppositions upon which they rest and to attempt to find methodological and ideological differences which may account for the varied results. The study will focus upon Paul Vinogradoff (1854-1925), legal historian and jurisprudential scholar, whose best known works are concerned with this subject. Toward the end of the 18th century there developed in Germany a theory of the beginnings of society, known as the Mark theory, which described those beginnings as an idyllic period when mankind lived together in free communities. English historians found this thesis much to their liking: it fitted well with English ideals of freedom and democracy, and it supported popular belief in a strong Germanic, rather than Roman, influence in the development of English institutions. Beginning with John M. Kemble' s Saxons in England in 1849, English historians almost to a man accepted the theory without critical examination of the authorities upon which it rested. In 1883 however, an amateur historian, Frederic Seebohm, in The English Villa Community challenged the Mark theory and asserted that the English common man was originally a serf laboring on an estate which strongly resembled the Roman villa. Paul Vinogradoff, a talented Russian working in England on early agrarian history, sought new proof to sustain the cause of the common free man. In Villainage in England (1892) he attempted to prove that the early villein was free both legally and economically. He was supported by Frederic Maitland in Domesday Book and Beyond (1897), who found in the Domesday survey proof of vestigial freedom, which he held could only mean that the once free villein had lost much of his liberty during the late Anglo-Saxon period, and that his subjection was completed by the Norman conquerors. William Ashley, in several works, supported Seebohm' s position, but did not always agree with him. All four historians were products of conservative background. There were, however, differences in the more intimate details of their social surroundings, differences of family, education, religion, and in the case of Vinogradoff, of national origin. Vinogradoff and Maitland came from economically secure families, who provided for them the best education available; they were religious agnostics; both were legal historians. Seebohm’s and Ashleys families were not affluent, and the education they obtained came primarily from their own efforts; both were devout members of evangelical faiths; Ashley was an economic historian and Seebohm's best works were in the field of early agrarian history. Each of these men read the sparse evidence available on the subject from a particular point of view. Vinogradoff and Maitland concluded that the early English peasant was free and that his fall from freedom to serfdom during the late Anglo-Saxon and early Norman periods was due to a large extent to a misinterpretation of his legal status. Seebohm and Ashley held he had been a serf from the time of the Teutonic settlements, and that his legal rights were never as important as his economic position.

Orientador: Tânia da Costa Garcia / Resumo: As narrativas da década de 1930 sobre música urbana no Brasil nos apresentam um modo singular de escrita da história que pode ser observado sob diversos aspectos. Neste trabalho, escolhemos investigar O Choro, de autoria de Alexandre Gonçalves Pinto, publicado em 1936, cuja estrutura textual e organização de suas memórias influenciará, de muitos modos, a historiografia do choro brasileiro. Neste sentido, para examinarmos esse registro de memória do carteiro, elegemos certas teorias da memória que nos servem não apenas para analisarmos esta narrativa, como ainda compreendermos um pouco mais desse universo escrito e narrado pelos chamados “primeiros historiadores da música popular”, isto é, os memorialistas de 1930. Sendo assim, buscamos alternativas epistemológicas para dar conta de enxergarmos todo o impacto que essa produção sobre música urbana causou na historiografia do tema. Dentre elas, trouxemos a análise do discurso como um campo adjacente, que se mostrou extremamente significativo para compreendermos mais desse passado da música popular no Brasil. Por fim, identificamos as localidades que o carteiro apresenta em O Choro a fim de que, por meio desse processo analítico, nos aproximemos mais da história e da tradição do choro brasileiro, seja esta imaginada ou vivida e, de certa maneira, inventada por seu autor/narrador. / Abstract: The narratives of the 1930s about urban music in Brazil present us with a singular way of writing history that can be observed in several aspects. In this work, we chose to investigate O Choro, by Alexandre Gonçalves Pinto, published in 1936, whose textual structure and organization of his memories will influence, in many ways, the historiography of Brazilian choro. In this sense, to examine this register of memory of the postman, we choose certain theories of memory that serve us not only to analyze this narrative, but also to understand a little more of this universe written and narrated by the so called "early historians of popular music", that is , the memorialists of 1930. Thus, we seek epistemological alternatives to account for seeing all the impact that this production on urban music caused in the historiography of the theme. Among them, we have brought discourse analysis as an adjacent field, but it has proved extremely significant in order to understand this past of popular music in Brazil. Finally, we identify the locations that the postman presents in O Choro so that through this analytical process we will get closer to the history and tradition of Brazilian choro, be it imagined or lived and, in a way, invented by its author / storyteller. / Mestre

L'Histoire Ecclésiastique de Grégoire Bar ‘Ebroyo (1225/6-1286 apr. J.-C.), auteur syro-orthodoxe et maphrien de l’Est, a depuis longtemps été reconnue comme une source historique inestimable pour l’histoire de l’Antiquité tardive et médiévale du Moyen-Orient, mais elle a reçu une attention limitée du monde scientifique en tant qu’œuvre de littérature à part entière, et n’a jamais fait l’objet d’une monographie. En outre, l’Histoire Ecclésiastique n’est encore et toujours seulement accessible que par l’intermédiaire d’une édition du 19e s., qui est simplement une reproduction diplomatique d’un manuscrit du 16e s. Bien que la Chronique de Bar ‘Ebroyo, dont l’Histoire Ecclésiastique forme la seconde partie, soit le seul ouvrage historiographique en syriaque préservé dans plus d’un seul manuscrit, sa riche tradition manuscrite n’a jamais été examinée. Le but de cette thèse doctorale est tout d’abord de fournir une étude philologique et historiographique de l’Histoire Ecclésiastique. Plus particulièrement, je propose une analyse de a) la tradition manuscrite et de la transmission du texte, b) de la relation avec la tradition du genre de l’histoire ecclésiastique, c) l’étude des sources. Cette étude s’accompagne d’une nouvelle édition de texte et d’une traduction anglaise. / The Ecclesiastical History of Gregory Bar ‘Ebroyo (1225/6-1286 A.D.), Syrian Orthodox author and maphrian of the East, has long been recognized as an invaluable historical source for the history of the Late Antique and Medieval Middle East but it has received limited scholarly attention as a work of literature in its own right, and it has never been made the object of a book-length study. Moreover, the Ecclesiastical History is still available only via a 19th century edition, which is basically a diplomatic reproduction of a 16th century manuscript. Although Bar ‘Ebroyo’s Chronicle, of which the Ecclesiastical History forms the second part, is the only Syriac historiographical work preserved in more than one manuscript, its rich manuscript tradition has never been examined. The purpose of this thesis is to provide a first philological and historiographical study of the Ecclesiastical History. More particularly, I propose an analysis of a) the manuscript tradition and the transmission of the text, b) the relation with the tradition of the genre Ecclesiastical History, c) the study of the sources. This study is accompanied by a newly established text and an English translation.

This thesis contributes to the growing body of scholarship surrounding historical and filmic representations of the past. Moreover, it seeks to further the understanding and practical use of this sub-field in history by examining two films: Amistad (1997); and, The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006). Building on the insistence of scholars such as Robert Rosenstone and Hayden White, this thesis seeks to evaluate historical films on their own terms as representations of the past that must be judged according to their own conventions. Cinema's attraction to historical subjects is not a recent phenomenon. However, the past two decades, have seen a marked increase in the academic critique of 'historical films' - most notably Hollywood features and television documentaries. Moreover, the appetite of the general public for filmic treatment of historical topics continues unabated. While it is agreed that historical film cannot be judged according to the criteria used in accessing traditional modes of historical representation, there is little agreement about what criteria, precisely, should be used in evaluating historical films' historical attributes and implications. This thesis commences with a general theoretical and methodological survey of the literature in this relatively new sub-field. It then analyses the film Amistad and its reception and criticism amongst historical professionals. This analysis, coupled with the findings of the first chapter, forms the basis for an original and independent review of The Wind That Shakes the Barley, a film that has not yet been widely critiqued by historians. The thesis suggests how historical films may be fruitfully evaluated in ways that are sympathetic both to the peculiar exigencies of the medium and the traditional concerns of historical scholarship.

This thesis presents an intellectual history of the historiography of Australian Economic History between 1918 and 1965. More specifically, it is a contribution to a relatively novel area of research into 'disciplinary history’. It takes as its basic analytical material the four books widely used for significant lengths of time for undergraduate teaching during the period of the study. The thesis consists of five main chapters, plus an appendix which surveys the institutional development of Australian Economic History and provides the empirical basis for the selection of the works named above. After a brief introduction and overview, the next four chapters consist of a detailed study of one of these works, the historical context in which each was written, and an intellectual biography. The fifth chapter is largely theoretical and conceptual. It analyses the epistemological bases of History and Economics and explores the implications of different models of knowledge for the relationship between Economic History and its two antecedent disciplines, History and Economics. Current perceptions of the state of the discipline in Australia and overseas are also examined. There are three main propositions advanced and their implications explored in the fifth chapter. First, that changes which occurred in Australian Economic History during the period 1918-1965 shifted the discipline from the broad area of History to the broad area of Economics. Second, that the inherent tension and fundamental differences between the two disciplinary areas of History and Economics have profound and complex implications for Australian Economic History at a number of levels and in a number of areas. The third proposition posits that the paradigm shift of the 1950s/1960s in Australian Economic History, and the paradigm shift of the 1960s/1970s in Economic History respectively have resulted in crisis. The final part of the chapter summarises the contents of the preceding chapters, and draws some conclusions based on those detailed studies.
