Die Chanten leben als Rentierzüchter in der Taiga Westsibiriens – eine Lebensweise, die durch die Erdölförderung verdrängt wird. Ihr Leben verläuft heute räumlich und sozial im Wechsel zwischen Wald und Stadt. Ihre Strategien, kulturelle Differenz und Autonomie durch Grenzziehungen mit Hilfe religiöser Praktiken und sozialer Normen aufrechtzuerhalten, werden am Beispiel des Festes zum „Tag des Rentierzüchters“ verdeutlicht. Der Autor zeigt, wie Menschen der Taiga in dieser Situation eigene Praktiken des Verbergens und Vermeidens, aber auch neue Wege der öffentlichen Repräsentation nutzen. / The Khanty live as reindeer herders in the Western Siberian Taiga but their lifestyle is endangered by crude oil extraction on their land. Today their lives are divided socially as well as spatially between the town and the forest. By taking the celebration of the Day of the Reindeer Herder as an example, the book describes the indigenous strategies to keep cultural difference and autonomy alive by drawing boundaries and maintaining religious practices and social norms. The author shows how the people of the Taiga use their traditions of hiding and avoiding as well as new ways of public representation to cope with the changes. / Оленеводы-ханты живут в Западносибирской тайге, на этой же территории ведется добыча нефти, которая ставить их образ жизни под угрозу. Их жизнь сегодня связана одновременно и с тайгой и с городом, между которыми они постоянно перемещаются и пространственно и социально. На примере празднования Дня Оленевода автор пассматривает существующие у жителей тайги стратегии сохранения культурного своеобразия и культурной автономии, связанные с проведением социальных границ при помощи культурных практик и социальных норм. Автор показывает, что в этой ситуации ханты используют как традиционные практики избегания и скрывания, так и новые способы публичной репрезентации.

Nettement moins présent que l'anglais, le français, en tant que langue étrangère, n'est actuellement enseigné, en Libye, qu'à l'université. Cependant, la formation délivrée, notamment à l'Université de Tripoli ne permet pas aux apprenants - parce que le département manque totalement de matériel et de moyens, parce que les enseignants ont rarement reçu une formation didactique, parce que les modalités d'enseignement/apprentissage restent transmissives - d'acquérir les compétences nécessaires pour communiquer avec des natifs. Pensant que l'intégration de documents authentiques pouvait être une solution pertinente et efficace pour améliorer l'enseignement/apprentissage du FLE en Libye et faire évoluer les pratiques de classe, nous avons conduit, en 2012, une expérimentation d'introduction de documents authentiques avec un groupe expérimental composé d'étudiants de niveau B1 qui en étaient à leur dernière année de formation à l'Université de Tripoli. Une introduction qui s'avère probante, à nos yeux, aux yeux des étudiants et au vu des résultats, parce qu'elle suscite intérêt et motivation, permet de diversifier les supports d'apprentissage, de rompre avec les pratiques ordinaires d'enseignement et parce qu'elle développe des compétences communicative, culturelle et interculturelle.

Cette thèse porte sur la mise en scène des répertoires traditionnels ouïghours, dans sa forme musicale, chorégraphique et théâtrale. Depuis plusieurs décennies, les grands spectacles pluridisciplinaires mettent en scène l’héritage culturel ouïghour. Ces spectacles, créés par les artistes de la communauté eux-mêmes, visent cette même communauté. Ils passent par des processus de réarrangement, de canonisation et surtout de théâtralisation (à l’occidentale) pour rendre l’art traditionnel brut présentable sur une scène. Ces constats mènent à s’interroger sur la manière dont la société ouïghour contemporaine écoute ses musiques et regarde ses danses. Les questions du rôle de l’art et de la culture dans la vie quotidienne et de leur impact sur le sentiment d’appartenance nationale sont au cœur de ces réflexions. Ce travail s’intéresse à l’origine de la professionnalisation issue des mouvements réformistes dans les années 1920-30. La création de troupes artistiques a joué à la fois un rôle éducatif et divertissant, mais aussi de symbole de résistance. Au cours du siècle, ce mouvement artistique a traversé plusieurs périodes, parfois même douloureuses. Mais aujourd’hui, la scène artistique est productive et de plus en plus active. Cette thèse s'appuyant sur l’étude de sources, sur des enquêtes de terrain, l’analyse des discours et des spectacles, essaye de dégager les mécanismes de représentation de soi des artistes ouïghours, en tant que peuple et nation, aux yeux du monde extérieur. En affirmant l'identité ethnique, ces mises en scènes participent efficacement à la construction nationale, un combat qui touche toute la communauté ouïghour, et tente de dresser une image reconnue tant par ses membres qu’aux yeux du monde. / This thesis focuses on the staging of Uyghur traditional art in its musical, chorographical and theatrical forms. For decades, large multidisciplinary performances depicted the Uyghur cultural heritages. Distended to share with their own, these performances are created by the artists of the community. Rearrangement, canonization, dramatizing (in Western style) are used to transform traditional art, to be more attractive on stage. This created an outstanding “bricolage” of all aspect of one culture, to be put in one space and in a limited time. These findings lead to questioning the ways of listening to music and watching dance in contemporary Uighur society. Equally, this phenomenon questions the role of art and culture in their everyday life. Furthermore, the impact of all these transformation on the sense of national identity is at the heart of our reflections. This thesis is interested in the origin of artistic professionalization established by the reform movements in the 1920s-30s, which played a role of educating and at the same time entertaining the population/poeple, and became a symbole of resistence in the region. Today, the stage represents an important aspect of uyghur society. After many years of fieldwork, analysing the discourse and different kinds of professional performances this thesis identifies the self- representation mechanisms of Uyghurs, as one nation, one ethnic group, to the outside world. It relies on historical sources, years of fieldwork in different regions of Xinjiang, includes different kinds of professional or amateur performances, and interviews of the actors and experts's discourse.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Esta tese objetiva, a partir dos estudos da Literatura e Sociedade, analisar a trajetória das protagonistas dos romances Gabriela, cravo e canela (1958), Tereza Batista cansada de guerra (1972) e Tieta do agreste pastora de cabras (1977), de Jorge Amado. Através das vozes narrativas, as personagens são construídas no espaço ficcional de modernização rural/urbana, no qual a representação produz personagens masculinos que se pautam em princípios da razão patriarcal, cujo poder é centralizado no coronelismo, contrário ao discurso de progresso e modernização. As protagonistas percorrem uma trajetória ficcional que contribuiu para a aplicação da categoria de herói problemático, de George Lukács. A partir da adequação dessa proposta teórico-crítica sobre o herói do romance moderno à análise crítica da produção amadiana, desenvolvemos a categoria de heroína periférica, cuja construção se deve às relações dicotômicas entre localização periférica e representação de questões universais. Para o nosso estudo adotamos os pressupostos teóricos de Georg Lukács, Antonio Candido e o estudo crítico sobre a obra amadiana de Eduardo de Assis Duarte, Ana Maria Machado e Mark Curran.

The second half of the 19th Century was a remarkable period in the history of the transformation of Istanbul's Pera district, which can also be detected in the history of its western type theatre buildings, passages, cultural activities, district regulations, planning and establishment of other public and private spaces. The scope of the study will focus on the period between the announcement of the Edict of Gulhane (1839) till Second Constitutional Era (1908). I have chosen the Pera district, also known as Beyoğlu/Taksim for this case study, because it had quite specific functions in the city. It had hosted various ethnical groups throughout its long history, which was also the case in the middle of the 19th century, and the cultural harmony influenced the district's social life. I intend to test this hypothesis by applying Charles Landry's creativity city concept with Pera's cultural district at the end of the thesis. I will apply the aforementioned concepts and examine the remarkable modern type constructions of the district and their history. I will show that gradual growth of the amount and intensity of interactions between the West and the Ottoman Society created a cultural infrastructure, which in turn created a cosmopolitan area in Pera. Social and daily life started to change with the...

Text in Afrikaans / Een van die grootste probleme waarmee die prediker in 'n industriele konteks te doen het, is om die evangelie op 'n sinvolle wyse aan die hoarders oor te dra. Die radikale verandering in die samelewing deur die moderniseringsproses, het die homiletiek gedwing om teoreties her te besin. Hierdie moderne homiletiese teorie soos deur H.J.C. Pieterse, T.G. Long en G.D.J. Dingemans verteenwoordig het die volgende belangrike teoretiese aanpassings gemaak: Eerstens, in plaas van die tradisionele beweging van die teks na die hoarders, is die homiletiese proses omgekeer. Die beweging is nou vanaf die hoarder na die teks deur middel van die prediker en weer terug van die teks na die hoorder. Tweedens, hierdie benadering het noodwendig hermeneutiese implikasies gehad. Daarom het die homiletiek die bree aanpak van die moderne kritiese hermeneutiek in diens geneem. Derdens moes 'n nuwe kommunikasieteorie ondersoek word naamlik, die dialogiese kommunikasieteorie van H.J.C. Pieterse en C.J.A. Vos. / One of the greatest problems, with which a preacher in an industrial context have to deal with, is to convey the gospel in a sensible manner to the listeners. The radical change in society caused by the modernisation process, forced homiletics to review its theoretical base. Modern homiletics as represented by H.J.C. Pieterse, T.G. Long and G.D.J. Dingemans, has made the following theoretic adjustments: Firstly, in stead of the traditional movement of the text to the listeners, the homiletical process is revearsed. The movement is from the listener to the text by means of the preacher and back from the text to the listener. Secondly, this approach inevitably has hermeneutic implications. Therefore homiletics has employed the broad approach of modern critical hermeneutics. Thirdly, a new communication theory has to be developed namely, the dialogical communication theory of H.J.C. Pieterse and C.J.A. Vos. The most important theoretical foundation for preaching in an industrial context is the approach of taking the listeners as starting point without neglecting the text. In practice, it brings about that the following topics ask for particular attention: For the understanding and formulating of the message of the Scriptures, the modern critical hermeneutics and the use of metaphors is of the greatest importance. The new understanding of rhetorics which is about conveying the message, must be taken into consideration. The formulating of the message in the language of the listeners has a theoretical influence on the formulating and use of the theological concepts during preaching. The dialogical communication theory is also of great importance, and has dialogue before, during and after the preaching in mind. For it to be fulfilled, preaching work groups is an important component to improve dialogical communication in the congregation. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / D.Th.

L’objet de cette recherche est d’observer l’impact des Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication (TIC) sur la Gestion des Ressources Humaines (GRH). Après une revue de la littérature, nous présenterons les résultats d’une étude empirique conduite au sein d’une organisation publique, la Mairie de Paris. L’objectif est de décrire des pratiques de « modernisation » de la GRH dans une organisation et d’analyser les changements induits.A travers cette étude de cas, nous envisageons de mettre en lumière les grandes lignes du processus d’appropriation des nouveaux outils technologiques, notamment Chronogestor (gestion du temps de travail) et HR Access (gestion administrative, paie, gestion des carrières) par les acteurs. Ce qui nous permettra, in fine, de ressortir le rôle et la place de la FRH à la Mairie de Paris. Pour cela, nous présenterons dans un premier temps le projet RH 21, puis les outils de gestion du temps de travail et leur impact organisationnel et managérial. / The object of this research is to observe the impact of the information technology on the HRM. After a review of the academic literature, we present the results of an empirical research conducted at the city council of Paris. The view is to describe the “modernisation” of the HRM practices and to analyse the induced changes.Through this case study we plan to clarify the broad outline of the process of appropriation of the new technological tools, in particular Chronogestor (time’s management) and the HR Access (working time for administrative management and pays, the management of the careers). What will enable us, in fine, to arise the role and the place of the FRH to the Town hall of Paris. For that, we will present the project RH 21 initially, then the management tools of the working time and their organizational and managerial impact.

Especificamente, compara-se a ação da CONAB/SP com outras superintendências regionais; estuda-se a execução de duas modalidades do PAA, a Compra com Doação Simultânea e a Formação de Estoque; avalia-se o alcance social do Programa, em termos de agricultores familiares e pessoas em insegurança alimentar beneficiados; relaciona-se a distribuição espacial do PAA com a importância relativa dos agricultores familiares, com o índice de desenvolvimento das regiões paulistas, com a existência de assentamentos de reforma agrária e com a execução do Programa Nacional de Fortalecimento da Agricultura Familiar (PRONAF). A respeito da metodologia, realizou-se levantamento sobre as principais políticas públicas para agricultura familiar tais como PRONAF, PAA e Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE). Posteriormente, efetuou-se estudo avaliativo de dados secundários associado a pesquisa documental. Para os dados secundários buscaram-se informações junto a órgãos federais e estaduais ligados às questões agrícolas e agrárias. No que diz respeito à pesquisa documental foi avaliado um conjunto de textos e relatórios do Governo Federal, com ênfase nos Balanços de Avaliação da Execução do Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos 2003-2012 da Secretaria de Avaliação e Gestão da Informações do Ministério de Desenvolvimento Social e Combate à Fome. A primeira parte do trabalho aborda o contexto histórico de políticas que atuaram na conformação do espaço agrícola brasileiro entre 1960 e 1990, em que houve exclusão da agricultura familiar, seguido de uma relativa reversão a partir da criação do PRONAF em 1996. Essa atenção específica com a agricultura familiar foi reforçada com a criação do PAA em 2003, que atualmente conta com cinco modalidades e procura o desenvolvimento de espaço rural equitativo, estimulando a comercialização e geração de renda para agricultura familiar, ao mesmo tempo, que beneficia populações em situação de insegurança alimentar. Na segunda parte, aborda-se a execução do PAA entre 2003 e 2012 no espaço agrícola brasileiro, levando em consideração as disparidades regionais do País. Na terceira parte analisa-se a execução e a distribuição do PAA em São Paulo, podendo-se relacionar alguns resultados. A CONAB/SP tem apresentado um desempenho relativo melhor que o conjunto das outras superintendências regionais; a modalidade Compra com Doação Simultânea atinge número mais expressivo de municípios; o PAA vem sendo aplicado com maior intensidade em favor dos agricultores familiares e assentados de regiões mais empobrecidas; há forte vínculo do PAA com os assentamentos de reforma agrária; o PAA parece complementar o PRONAF, na medida em que atende com maior intensidade justamente aqueles agricultores com maiores dificuldades de acesso ao programa de crédito rural. / The general purpose of this work is to evaluate, in the period 2003-2012, the implementation of the Family Agriculture Food Acquisition Program (PAA) by the regional office of the National Supply Company (Conab) in Sao Paulo, trying to relate their distribution in agrarian space state with economic indicators, political and social rights of their farmers. Specifically, we compare the action of Conab / SP with other regional offices; It studies the performance of two types of EAP, Purchase with Simultaneous Donation and the Inventory Training for Family Agriculture assesses the social impact of the program, in terms of family farmers and people in processed food insecurity; It relates to the spatial distribution of PAA with the relative importance of family farmers, with the development index of the São Paulo regions with the existence of agrarian reform settlements and the implementation of the National Family Farming Strengthening Program (PRONAF). Regarding the methodology, we carried out a survey on the main public policies for family farming such as PRONAF, PAA and National School Feeding Programme (PNAE). Subsequently made up evaluative study of secondary data associated with documentary research. For secondary data sought up information from the federal and state agencies linked to agricultural and land issues. With regard to the documentary research was rated a set of texts and reports from the Federal Government, with emphasis on Balance Assessment Implementation of 2003-2012 Food Acquisition Program of the Department of Evaluation and Management of Information of the Ministry of Social Development and Fight against Hunger. The first part of the work delas with the historical background of policies that worked in the conformation of the Brazilian agricultural land between 1960 and 1990, when there was exclusion of family farming, followed by a relative reversal from the creation of PRONAF in 1996. This specific attention to family farming has been strengthened with the creation of the PAA in 2003, which currently has six different modes and seeks the development of equitable rural areas, encouraging the marketing and income generation for family farmers, while benefiting people in a situation of food insecurity. The second part deals with the implementation of the AAP between 2003 and 2012 in the Brazilian agricultural space, taking into account regional disparities in the country. In the third part analyzes the implementation and distribution of PAA in São Paulo, and may be related some results. CONAB / SP has shown relative performance better than all the other regional offices; Purchase with Simultaneous Donation mode reaches more significant number of municipalities; PAA has been applied with greater intensity in favor of family farmers and settlers of the poorest regions; there is a strong bond of PAA with the agrarian reform settlements; PAA appears to complement the PRONAF, in that it serves more intensely precisely those farmers with greater difficulties of access to rural credit program. / CNPq: 130580/2014-7

Elle cherche ? montrer, ? partir de l observation de l action planifi?e de l ?tat national et r?gional, soutenu par le capital international et par les groupes ?conomiques et politiques locaux, comment on a tent? d implanter, dans des conjonctures ?conomiques distinctes, une industrie d intrants de base moyennant la cr?ation de deux p?les de d?veloppement : le P?lo Qu?mico Industrial (1974) et le P?lo G?s Sal (1996). Elle est centr?e sur l analyse des actions orient?es vers la concr?tisation de ces p?les, et prendra pour objet les politiques de d?veloppement ?manant de l ?tat national, en particulier celles qui relevaient du II PND et qui visaient, au cours des ann?es 70, ? l implantation d une industrie d?centralis?e dans la r?gion Nordeste ; les r?gles fix?es par le Plano Nacional de Desestatiza??es, destin?es ? promouvoir les privatisations des entreprises publiques br?siliennes, lesquelles ont rendu possible la vente d Alcanorte au groupe industriel command? par Fragoso Pires, et les politiques d?finies par l ?tat national et r?gional, rassembl?es sous le titre de ? guerre fiscale ? afin d attirer des capitaux internationaux susceptibles de rendre viable le P?lo G?s Sal. Il y est d?montr? que l ?tat a coordonn? un ensemble d actions dans les domaines de l infrastructure et des exon?rations fiscales et financi?res, dans le but d acc?l?rer la transition d une ?conomie primaire et exportatrice vers une ?conomie moderne, industrialis?e. Et que le concours simultan? de forces ?conomiques et sociales particuli?rement expressives le capital national et international, les ?lites locales n a pas suffi pour promouvoir la modernisation industrielle escompt?e des secteurs chimique et p?trochimique. Parmi les diff?rentes raisons qui ont contribu? ? un tel ?chec, on peut mentionner : l absence d une accumulation interne pr?alable de capital ; la d?pendance de l ?conomie locale par rapport ? la technologie et au capital des groupes ?conomiques internationaux ; l inconsistance des strat?gies de d?veloppement relevant de la politique qui caract?risait la ? guerre fiscale ?, et la fragilit? de la repr?sentation politique locale / Este estudo sobre a moderniza??o econ?mica ocorrida no Rio Grande do Norte se constitui numa discuss?o sobre as tentativas de consolida??o de um projeto de desenvolvimento industrial que tem como base o aproveitamento de mat?rias primas locais, tais como: o sal, o calc?rio, as ?guas m?es e o petr?leo, entre os anos 70 e 90 do s?culo XX. Ele procura demonstrar como se tentou, a partir da investiga??o da atua??o planejada do Estado nacional e regional, contando com a participa??o do capital internacional e com o apoio de grupos econ?micos e pol?ticos locais, a implanta??o, em conjunturas econ?micas distintas de uma ind?stria de insumos b?sicos, atrav?s da cria??o de dois p?los de desenvolvimento: o P?lo Qu?mico Industrial (1974) e o P?lo G?s Sal (1996). Ele ter? como foco a an?lise das a??es direcionadas ? concretiza??o desses p?los tomando como refer?ncia as pol?ticas de desenvolvimento emanadas do Estado nacional, especialmente as constantes do II PND, dirigidas ? implanta??o de uma ind?stria descentralizada na regi?o Nordeste nos anos 70; as regras estabelecidas pelo Plano Nacional de Desestatiza??es destinadas a promover as privatiza??es das empresas estatais brasileiras, quando sob essas regras foi vendida a Alcanorte ao grupo empresarial comandado por Fragoso Pires; e as pol?ticas definida pelo Estado nacional e regional configurada na guerra fiscal com o objetivo de atrair capitais internacionais para viabilizar o P?lo G?s Sal. Ao final, fica demonstrado que o Estado coordenou um conjunto de a??es, nas ?reas da infra-estrutura e de incentivos fiscais e financeiros, com o prop?sito de acelerar a transi??o de uma economia prim?ria exportadora a uma economia moderna, industrializada. E que, mesmo congregando expressivas for?as econ?micas e sociais: o capital nacional e internacional, os grupos de elites locais, enquanto atores coadjuvantes dessa mudan?a, n?o foi poss?vel promover a moderniza??o industrial dos setores qu?mico e petroqu?mico como desejado. Entre outras explica??es para esse insucesso p?de-se anotar: a aus?ncia de uma pr?via acumula??o interna de capital; a depend?ncia da economia local de tecnologia e de capital, de grupos econ?micos internacionais; a inconsist?ncia das estrat?gias de desenvolvimento contidas na pol?tica configurada na guerra fiscal ; e a fragilidade da representa??o pol?tica local

Dans ce contexte, la ville apparaissait comme un synonyme de progr?s en opposition ? la campagne, en donnant emphase ? la construction du Br?sil urbain. ? Natal, celui-ci a ?t? une p?riode de sensible modification dans l espace urbain, en suivant les pr?ceptes de l hygi?nisme et de l esth?tique racionaliste, qui ont orient? les r?formes entreprises dans beaucoup de villes br?siliennes. Les ?lites politiques et socio?conomiques de la capitale du Rio Grande do Norte ont developp? le discours en faveur de la modernisation qui avait pour objectif de justifier les interventions dans la ville et l introduction de l infra-structure de services urbains, par exemple, les services d illumination et de transport, qui ? partir de 1911, ont commenc? ? ?tre stimul?s par l ?lectricit?. Cette modernisation est mat?rialis?e par de nouveaux ?quipements et services, par des espaces remodel?s en accord avec la rationalit? technique de l urbaniste, pour l utilisation de nouvelles sources d ?nergie (gaz, ?lectricit?), en plus de la croissance de la population r?sidente en ville. Cependant, nous ne pouvons pas oublier que la construction de la ville moderne est pass?e tant par des transformations physiques, mat?rielles, comme par l absorption de valeurs, symboles, gestes, vocabulaires, objets, adoptions de nouvelles normes de comportement et par la formation de nouvelles sensibilit?s sur l espace urbain et la vie en ville. De cette mani?re, les nouvelles normes technologiques, comme l ?lectricit?, ont rendu possible des transformations dans la structure mat?rielle de la ville et en vie urbaine dans ses plus divers aspects. Ce travail propose d analyser la relation entre ?nergie ?lectrique et la vie urbaine ? Natal entre 1911 et 1940, en prenant en compte, pour cela, les actions d intervention de l ?tat sur l espace urbain et les perceptions d intellectuels face aux transformations urbaines dont ils ?taient les t?moins. ? partir de cette analyse, nous cherchons ? pr?ciser les efforts gouvernementaux pour la manutention des services d ?lectricit? et conservation des ?quipements urbains; comprendre comment l utilisation d ?nergie ?lectrique a aid? ? produire de nouvelles situations quotidiennes et comment elle a ?t? per?ue, traduite en sentiments et perceptions fond?es dans la cohabitation avec cette innovation technique. Les ?lites locales d?siraient diffuser des habitudes consider?es modernes, en construisant une identification avec la mani?re de vie urbaine, fortement inspir?e dans la vie dans les villes Europ?ennes et Am?ricaines. L ?lectricit? a rendu possible des exp?riences et sensations qui allaient caract?riser l habitant de la ville / Nas primeiras d?cadas do s?culo XX, um grupo de intelectuais brasileiros tomou para si a tarefa de conduzir a na??o aos caminhos do progresso, refletindo sobre as transforma??es das cidades e, muitas vezes, propondo e se colocando ? frente das a??es e medidas que direcionariam a moderniza??o do pa?s. Neste contexto, a cidade aparecia como sin?nimo de progresso em oposi??o ao campo, dando-se ?nfase ? constru??o do Brasil urbano. Em Natal, esse foi um per?odo de sens?vel modifica??o no espa?o urbano, seguindo os preceitos do higienismo e da est?tica racionalista, que orientavam as reformas empreendidas em muitas cidades brasileiras. As elites pol?ticas e socioecon?micas da capital do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte desenvolveram o discurso em prol da moderniza??o que objetivava justificar as interven??es na cidade e a introdu??o da infra-estrutura de servi?os urbanos, a exemplo dos servi?os de ilumina??o e transporte, que a partir de 1911 passaram a ser impulsionados por eletricidade. Essa moderniza??o materializa-se por novos equipamentos e servi?os, por espa?os remodelados de acordo com a racionalidade t?cnica do urbanista, pela utiliza??o de novas fontes de energia (g?s, eletricidade), al?m do crescimento da popula??o residente nas cidades. Entretanto, n?o se pode esquecer que a constru??o da cidade moderna passou tanto pelas mudan?as f?sicas, materiais, quanto pela absor??o de valores, s?mbolos, gestos, vocabul?rios, objetos, ado??o de novos padr?es de comportamento e pela forma??o de novas sensibilidades sobre o espa?o urbano e a vida citadina. Desse modo, os novos padr?es tecnol?gicos, como a eletricidade, possibilitaram mudan?as na estrutura material da cidade e na vida urbana em seus mais diversos aspectos. Este trabalho prop?e analisar a rela??o entre energia el?trica e a vida urbana em Natal entre 1911 e 1940, levando-se em conta, para tanto, as a??es de interven??o do Estado sobre o espa?o urbano e as percep??es de intelectuais diante das transforma??es urbanas que presenciavam. A partir dessa an?lise, buscou-se especificar os esfor?os governamentais pela manuten??o dos servi?os de eletricidade e conserva??o dos equipamentos urbanos; compreender como a utiliza??o de energia el?trica ajudou a produzir novas situa??es cotidianas e como foi sentida, traduzida em sentimentos e percep??es fundadas na conviv?ncia com essa inova??o t?cnica. As elites locais desejavam propagar h?bitos considerados modernos, construindo uma identifica??o com o modo de vida urbano, fortemente inspirado na vida nas cidades Europ?ias e Norte-americanas. A eletricidade possibilitou viv?ncias e sensa??es que iriam caracterizar o habitante da cidade
