No. of bitstreams: 1 nadjairo_francisco_chaves.pdf: 3765222 bytes, checksum: 1a4ab8977f474f199b595cf02fd6d452 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-06-16 / This dissertation aims to understand the prospects of progress that the process of beatification and canonization of Frei Damião can bring to the growth of religious tourism in Pernambuco, having been the focus for pilgrimages and festivals that exist in his honor. It initially is made on a general approach of pilgrimages and religious tourism with focus on overlapping between them, and also point to its historical roots to enter on the question of religious tourism in Brazil. Then we turn our attention to the figure of Frei Damião of Bozzano where strolled briefly through the history of the formation of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin in Brazil and we enter the life path of Frei Damião in northeastern Brazil , through its missions, and disease death and the process of beatification and canonization. After this step, we proceed to address their pilgrimages and festivals held in honor of Fr Damian to the Brazilian Northeast, with a view to religious tourism and marketing opportunities, and finally, treat existing challenges for the growth of religious tourism in Pernambuco, having focus is on the information received during the interviews conducted by the Guardian of the Convent of St. Felix of Cantalice and Unit Manager of destinations and tourism products of EMPETUR. For this, the methodology used was the literature and documents, for the composition of our theoretical and field research, conducted through interviews, on which one can conclude that the figure of Frei Damião has a great representative for the people northeastern, which considers it a holy symbol of faith and devotion and whose displacements that occur as a result of their festivals and celebrations can be pointed out as an important asset for the growth of religious tourism in the Northeast. / A presente dissertação tem por objetivo compreender as perspectivas de progresso que o processo de beatificação e canonização de Frei Damião pode trazer para o crescimento do turismo religioso em Pernambuco tendo-se por foco as romarias e festas que existem em sua homenagem. Nela, inicialmente é feita uma abordagem geral acerca das peregrinações e do turismo religioso com foco nas imbricações existentes entre os mesmos, além de apontarem-se suas raízes históricas para adentrar-se na questão do turismo religioso no Brasil. Depois, voltamos nossa atenção para a figura de Frei Damião de Bozzano, onde passeamos brevemente pela história da formação da Ordem dos Frades Menores Capuchinhos no Brasil e adentramos na trajetória de vida de Frei Damião no Nordeste brasileiro, por meio de suas missões, doença e morte e o processo de beatificação e canonização. Finalizada essa etapa, passamos a tratar de suas romarias e festas realizadas em homenagem a Frei Damião pelo nordeste brasileiro, com vistas ao turismo religioso e oportunidades mercadológicas e, por fim, tratamos dos desafios existentes para o crescimento do turismo religioso em Pernambuco, tendo-se por foco as informações recebidas durante as entrevistas realizadas junto ao Guardião do Convento de São Felix de Cantalice e o Gestor da Unidade de Destinos e Produtos Turísticos da EMPETUR. Para isso, a metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, para a composição de nosso referencial teórico e a pesquisa de campo, realizada por meio de entrevista, diante das quais se pode concluir que a figura de Frei Damião tem uma grande representatividade para o povo nordestino, que o considera um santo, símbolo de fé e devoção e cujos deslocamentos que acontecem em decorrência de suas romarias e festas podem ser apontados como importante atrativo para o crescimento do turismo religioso no Nordeste.

The logic of ballistic missile defence procurement in Japan (1994-2007) : from hedging through self-imposed restraints toward hedging from the position of military strength

Shabalin, Maxim N. January 2011 (has links)
This thesis asks why Japan decided to procure BMD if it meant building an infrastructure which, because of its technological nature, had the potential to disrupt Japan’s preferred security strategy of hedging, that is, maintaining ambiguity of commitment, vis-à-vis China and the US. The investigation was divided into three parts dealing with the following questions – Why did Japan's BMD procurement matter? Who mattered? Why were the BMD and related decisions made? Such a structure of research was informed by “neoclassical realism,” according to which the relative material power of a country sets the parameters of its foreign policy, but the policy choices within these international constraints are made by political elites. A range of policymaking heuristics were used to investigate the domestic element of the approach. In addition to the conventionally specified policymaking actors such as MOD, MOFA, Prime Ministers, an original attempt was made to identify the possible influences of several elite networks. On the basis of the notes from the Japan-US Security Strategy Conference, two elite networks were analysed, namely the Japan’s Congressional National Security Research Group and Japan-US Centre for Peace and Cultural Exchange. It was concluded that they have probably had some influence on shaping Japan's BMD decisions. The conclusion of this research is that BMD was procured despite its disruptive potential because it was a tool of shifting Japanese policy from one hedging policy to another, that is, from one based on self-imposed restraints toward one exercised from the position of military strength. An analysis of international relations in East Asia in 1994-2007 and an analysis of the views of the security elites make Japan's transition toward a military strength-based hedging appear rational and confirm BMD's utility as a tool in this transition. Some negative consequences of a possible disruption to hedging, induced by BMD, can be contained exactly because of such a reformatting of hedging.

Revising the U.S. global military basing policy is a permanent U.S. military presence still required?

Gasner, John A. 12 1900 (has links)
Approved for public release; distribution in unlimited. / This thesis examines the U.S. policy for employing military forces across the globe. The major transformational trends in improving U.S. military capabilities over the past two decades, and the changing international security environment have impacted the way in which American leaders focus on the global military posture strategy. The American military interventions in Iraq, Kosovo and Afghanistan help determine whether the United States has demonstrated true global reach capability without the advantage of permanent forward operating bases. The Philippines-U.S relationship provides an opportunity to assess whether the United States has demonstrated the capability and commitment to defend its national interests and its ally and to maintain peace and stability despite the removal of major U.S. bases. U.S. capability and commitment may allow greater flexibility in choosing alternatives to the current policy of permanent forward basing around the globe.

History and heritage of company towns in Northeast Brazil / Histoire et patrimoine des company towns dans le Nord-est du Brésil

Rosa, Carolina 29 April 2014 (has links)
Cette thèse examine le phénomène des company towns dans le Nord-Est du Brésil. La première partie retrace son développement historique de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle à la fin du XXe siècle, en examinant les aspects fondamentaux des dynamiques économiques et sociales du développement industriel de la région afin de comprendre les interconnexions entre les vicissitudes des company towns et leur base industrielle. En outre, elle analyse l’émergence de company towns articulée dans la construction des archétypes d’habitation ouvrière dans la région. Enfin, elle fournit une caractérisation du phénomène des company towns dans le Nord-est, en examinant son développement historique, dès les premières expériences de logement ouvrier établies par les premières manufactures du Brésil et la naissance des premières company towns à la fin du XIXe siècle, leur expansion pendant la première moitié du XXe siècle et leur déclin au cours de la crise de la base industrielle traditionnelle du Nord-Est vers la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle. La deuxième partie de la thèse considère la présence des company towns dans le contexte actuel, c’est-à-dire le patrimoine de ce type particulier de logement ouvrier dans le but de comprendre les enjeux de leur patrimonialisation, en particulier par rapport aux attitudes, perceptions, connaissance et utilisation de ces espaces actuellement, à la lumière des approches avancées par le domaine du patrimoine industriel. / This research examines the phenomenon of company towns in the Northeast of Brazil. The first part of the thesis trace their historical development from the second half of the nineteenth century to the late twentieth century by examining the fundamental aspects of the region’s industrial development, with its economic and social dynamics, in an attempt to understand the interconnections between the vicissitudes of the company towns and their industrial base. Furthermore, it analyses the emergence of the company towns articulated within the social construction of the working-class home and of positive and negative dwelling archetypes in Northeastern Brazil. Finally, it provides a characterization of the company town phenomenon in the Northeast, looking into its historical development, examining the first housing experience established by Brazil’s early manufactories, the birth of the first company towns at the turn of the nineteenth century their expansion throughout the first half of the twentieth century and their decline during the crisis of the traditional Northeastern industrial base during the second half of the twentieth century. The second part of the thesis considers the presence of the company-induced settlements in the present-day context, that is, the heritage of this particular type of working-class dwelling. It represents an effort to understand the “enjeux” of their heritagization, and particularly the attitudes and perceptions towards, and knowledge and uses of the company town spaces by their present-day users, in light of the approaches advanced by the field of Industrial Heritage.

Reconstituição da paleoprecipitação no sul do Nordeste Brasileiro durante os dois últimos ciclos glaciais a partir da aplicação de registros isotópicos de oxigênio de estalagmites da Chapada Diamantina, Bahia. / Paleoprecipitation reconstruction in Southern Northeast Brazil during the two last glaciation cycles based on the application of oxygen isotopic records of stalagmites from Chapada Diamantina, Bahia

Barreto, Eline Alves de Souza 15 March 2016 (has links)
Registros isotópicos de oxigênio obtidos em alta resolução das estalagmites CL2 e MAG das cavernas Calixto e Marota, região da Chapada Diamantina (CD) (12ºS), Estado da Bahia, sul do Nordeste brasileiro (sNEB), permitiram reconstituir as mudanças passadas da precipitação entre 165-128 e 59-39 mil anos A.P. Para a reconstituição paleoclimática considerou-se resultados de um estudo de calibração realizado em duas cavernas da CD o qual demonstrou uma relação entre composição isotópica da água meteórica e de gotejamento e sugeriu um ambiente adequado para a deposição do espeleotema em condições equilíbrio e/ou próximas com a água de gotejamento. A interpretação da paleoprecipitação através dos registros isotópicos \'\'delta\' POT.18\'O das estalagmites também foi baseada na relação entre composição isotópica da água da precipitação e a quantidade de chuva obtidos em estações da IAEA-GNIP no Brasil e de simulações das variações do \'\'delta\' POT.18\'O da chuva através do modelo climático ECHAM-4. Esses dados indicaram o efeito quantidade (amount effect) como fator preponderante de controle isotópico da água da chuva que formam os espeleotemas na CD, significando que a diminuição dos valores de \'\'delta\' POT.18\'O está associada ao aumento do volume de chuvas e vice-versa. Os registros de \'\'delta\' POT.18\'O dos espeleotemas permitiram reconstituir a variação da paleoprecipitação na escala orbital e milenar durante o penúltimo glacial bem como correlacionar mudanças na paleoprecipitação no sNEB com eventos milenares registrados na Groelândia no último glacial. Os registros da CD indicaram um aumento (diminuição) da paleoprecipitação na Bahia relacionado a diminuição (aumento) da insolação austral de verão a 10ºS durante o penúltimo glacial, similar ao observado no último ciclo precessional. Na escala orbital os registros da CD estiveram em antifase com os paleoindicadores isotópicos do Sudeste brasileiro e em fase com os valores de\'\'delta\' POT.18\'O dos espeleotemas do leste da China. Esse padrão de precipitação é similar ao observado na última glaciação e sugere que a variação na insolação de verão afetou as monções sul-americanas (MSA) promovendo mudanças na precipitação no sNEB no penúltimo glacial. Condições áridas no sNEB durante o aumento da insolação de verão estariam provavelmente associadas ao aprofundamento da subsidência de ar provocado pelo fortalecimento da circulação leste-oeste da MSA devido ao aumento das atividades convectivas na Amazônia o que teria, favorecido um posicionamento mais a sul da Zona de Convergência do Atlântico Sul (ZCAS). O oposto também ocorreria durante as fases de baixa insolação de verão quando a MSA estaria provavelmente mais desintensificada. Durante o penúltimo glacial (Terminação Glacial II) abruptas oscilações nos registros da CD para valores mais baixos de \'\'delta\' POT.18\'O indicaram um profundo aumento da precipitação coincidente com o evento Heinrich (H11). Nesse período a paleoprecipitação no sNEB esteve correlacionada negativamente com as mudanças climáticas na China e no oeste amazônico (Peru) e positivamente com o Sudeste brasileiro. Interpretou-se que as anomalias positivas da precipitação no sNEB podem ter estado relacionadas ao deslocamento para sul da Zona de Convergência Intertropical (ZCIT) bem como com a intensificação da MSA e ZCAS nesse período. Finalmente, oscilações isotópicas abruptas para valores mais altos observadas durante o estágio marinho isotópico 3 coincidentes com os eventos quentes registrados na Groelândia, denominados de eventos Dansgaard-Oeschger (DO), foram interpretados como a ocorrência de eventos muito secos no sNEB. Essas variações da precipitação na escala milenar, que estão em fase com os registros no Peru, podem ter estado relacionadas ao deslocamento para norte da ZCIT o que teria promovido uma profunda desintensificação da MSA. / High-resolution oxygen isotopic records of CL2 and MAG stalagmites of Calixto and Marota caves, Chapada Diamantina (CD) region (12ºS), Bahia State, southern Northeast Brazil (sNEB), allowed to reconstruct the past changes in precipitation between approximately 165-128 and 59-39 kyr B.P. The paleoclimatic reconstruction takes into account results from a calibration study performed in two caves in the CD region that showed a relationship between isotope signature in precipitation and cave drip water and suggested adequate environmental conditions for speleothem deposition in isotopic equilibrium with drip water. The interpretation of the speleothem \'\'delta\' POT.18\'O records was also based on the relationship between isotope composition of precipitation and rainfall amount from IAEA-GNIP stations in Brazil and also results from the climate model ECHAM-4. These data indicate the \"amount effect\" as the dominant isotope fractionation factor controlling the \'\'delta\' POT.18\'O variations in meteoric water forming speleothems, meaning that the decrease in the \'\'delta\' POT.18\'O values is associated with an increase in rainfall amount. Speleothem \'\'delta\' POT.18\'O records allow reconstructing the variation of paleoprecipitation on orbital and millennial time-scales during the penultimate glacial as well to correlate paleoprecipitation changes in sNEB with millennial Greenland events during the last glaciation. The CD records indicate an increase (decrease) of paleoprecipitation over Bahia related to the decrease (increase) of austral summer precipitation (ASI) at 10ºS during the penultimate glacial, similar to observed in the last precession cycle. On orbital time-scale, the CD records were in antiphasing with isotopic records from southern Brazil and in phase with \'\'delta\' POT.18\'O speleothem values from eastern China. This pattern of precipitation is similar to observed in the last glaciation and suggest that variation in ASI affected the South American Monsoon System (SAMS) promoting changes in precipitation over sNEB in the penultimate glacial. Arid conditions in sNEB during the higher incoming of ASI are probably linked to increased east-west upper-level subsidence into the region induced by stronger convection in the monsoon core keeping a position of South America Convergence Zone (SACZ) southward. The opposite also may occur during periods of low summer insolation in SH when the SASM was probably weaker. During the penultimate deglacial period (called Termination II) abrupt oscillations of CD records to lower values of \'\'delta\' POT.18\'O indicate a profound increase of precipitation coinciding with \"Heinrich Stadial 11\" (H11). Our interpretations are negatively correlated with precipitation changes observed in China and in western Amazon (Peru) and are positively correlated with southern Brazil. The positive anomalies of precipitation over sNEB would be associated with the displacement southward of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) as well with the intensification of the SASM and SACZ. Finally, abrupt isotopic oscillations to higher values observed during the marine isotope stage 3 that coincided with warm episodes in Greenland, called Dansgaard-Oeschger events (DO), were interpreted as the occurrence of drier conditions in sNEB. These precipitation changes on millennial time-scale, that is in phase with the observed in Peru, could be related to the displacement of ITCZ northward which promoting a profound desintensification of SAMS.

Paisagismo musical no nordeste brasileiro em quatro canções de Oswaldo de Souza: uma abordagem analítico-interpretativa / Paisagismo musical no nordeste brasileiro em quatro canções de Oswaldo de Souza: uma abordagem analítico-interpretativa

Castro, John Kennedy Pereira de 26 October 2010 (has links)
Desenvolvida a partir da percepção de que o geofísico do sertão e do litoral nordestino brasileiro influenciaram as composições de Oswaldo de Souza (1904-1995), natural do Rio Grande do Norte, esta dissertação examina as canções de Oswaldo de Souza e Waldemar Henrique a fim de identificar aspectos em comum, listando elementos geofísicos da região norte e nordeste do Brasil pertinentes a ambos os compositores. Esta pesquisa também aborda as canções no que se refere às relações entre poema e música, extraindo delas indicações interpretativas baseadas nas características relacionadas ao geofísico a que os compositores se reportam. Esta análise foi realizada com base no Referencial de Análise de Obras Corais do Professor Dr. Marco Antônio da Silva Ramos da Universidade de São Paulo (USP); na dissertação de mestrado da cantora e professora Márcia Jorge Aliverti, da Universidade Federal do Pará, em sua dissertação de mestrado sobre as canções Lendas Amazônicas de Waldemar Henrique, defendida na Escola de Comunicações e Artes da USP em 2003; na pesquisa biográfica realizada pelo professor e músico Cláudio Augusto Pinto Galvão; na entrevista com a professora e cantora Maria de Fátima de Brito realizada em 2009 e no parecer Técnico Pericial que ratifica que as anotações encontradas nas partituras das canções Juazeiro e Jangada foram, de fato, de Oswaldo de Souza. Este tema nos conduz a uma reflexão mais profunda sobre como entender o processo de composição nas canções de Oswaldo de Souza e sua confluência com a obra de Waldemar Henrique. / Building from the notion that the geophysics of the Brazilian northeastern backwoods and cost have influenced composer Oswaldo de Souza (1904 1995), who is originally from Rio Grande do Norte, this dissertation examines songs by Oswaldo de Souza and Waldemar Henrique in order to find aspects they have in common, listing geophysical elements of the northern and northeastern parts of Brazil relevant to both composers. This research also approaches the songs regarding the relations between the poem and the music, extracting interpretative hints based on characteristics related to the geophysics referred to by the composers. The analyzes was made with reference to the Referencial de Análise de Obras Corais by Professor D. Marco Antonio da Silva Ramos of the USP University of São Paulo; to the dissertation of singer and professor Márcia Jorge Aliverti, of the Federal University of Pará on the songs Legends of the Amazon by Waldemar Henrique, submitted at the School of Communication and Art at USP, in 2003; to a bibliographic research conducted by professor and musician Claudio Augusto Pinto Galvão; to an interview given by professor and singer Maria de Fátima de Brito in 2009 and to a juridical report that states that hand-written notes on the songs Juazeiro and Jangada were actually of Oswaldo de Souza. This theme leads us into a deeper reflection on how to understand the process in composition in Oswaldo de Souzas songs and its convergence with Waldemar Henriques work.

Nécropoles et peuplement dans le nord-est de la Gaule aux Ve-VIe siècles : espaces, pratiques funéraires et identités. / Cemeteries and settlement in Gaul Northeast (V-VI th.) : spaces, Burial Practices and Identities.

Ramos Benito, Alejandro 26 May 2015 (has links)
Les nécropoles constituent un élément essentiel dans l'étude des caractères définitoires du peuplement et des rituels de la mort dans les sociétés d'entre la fin du Bas-Empire et le début de l'époque mérovingienne (Ve-VIe siècles). Dans le nord de la France, l'archéologie d'époque mérovingienne s'est développée rythmée par les découvertes effectuées depuis le XIXe siècle, au même temps que les sociétés savantes, les musées et congrès scientifiques faisaient leur apparition. À travers l'étude des nécropoles ont peut tracer des lignes essentielles dans l'analyse du peuplement urbain et rural pendant l'Antiquité tardive dans le nord-est de la Gaule, toujours dans un cadre géopolitique pertinent sur la base des démarcations administratives anciennes. Leur étude permet aussi d'observer des changements éventuels opérés dans la dynamique des relations entre les vivants et les morts à partir de la topographie funéraire et son évolution. Ces rapports trouvent leur expression maximale dans les rituels funéraires, considérés comme l'ensemble des pratiques destinées à exprimer les croyances d'un groupe culturel déterminé. D'autre part, le phénomène de l'inhumation habillée et sa conséquence immédiate qui représente la présence du mobilier dans les sépultures, permet d'aborder les rapports socioéconomiques des communautés à travers l'expression matérielle d'un ensemble de phénomènes tels la compétitivité, la solidarité ou l'assimilation culturelle. Un des aspects fondamentaux, issu de l'analyse du mobilier funéraire, regarde la caractérisation des éléments de parure d'influence exogène, une question qui renvoie au concept d'ethnicité à l'époque des Grandes Migrations et les possibilités de l'archéologie à l'heure de déterminer l'identité culturelle des inhumés. / Cemeteries are an essential element in the study of the defining characters of the settlement and death rituals in societies within the end of the Lower Empire and the beginning of the Merovingian period (fifth-sixth centuries). In northern France, Merovingian archaeology developed punctuated by discoveries made since the nineteenth century, at the same time as the learned societies, museums and scientific conferences were appearing. Through the study of cemeteries may have drawn the main lines in the analysis of urban and rural settlement during late antiquity in northeastern Gaul, always in a relevant geopolitical framework based on the old administrative boundaries. Their study also observes any changes of the dynamics of relationships between the living and the dead from the funeral topography and its evolution. These reports find their maximum expression in funeral rituals, considered all as practices to express the beliefs of a particular cultural group of people. On the other hand, the phenomenon of burial dressed and its immediate consequence is that the presence of the furniture in burials, can address the socio-economic relations of communities through the expression of a set of physical phenomena such competitiveness, solidarity and cultural assimilation. A fundamental aspect from the analysis of the grave goods, looks characterization ornamental elements with exogenous influence, a question that refers to the concept of ethnicity in the Migration Period and the possibilities of archaeology to determine the cultural identity of buried people.

Vida e obra de Manuel Correia de Andrade: caminhos percorridos na Geografia e contribuições aos estudos regionais e ambientais / Life and work of Manuel Correia de Andrade: paths covered in geography and contributions to rgional and environmental studies

Andrade, Thaís de Lourdes Correia de 29 January 2019 (has links)
O interesse em trabalhar nessa Tese, o estudioso da geografia pernambucana, Manuel Correia de Andrade é resultado da nossa inquietação em resgatar um pouco da trajetória de vida do cientista pernambucano que, com seus 84 anos de existência dedicou grande parte de sua vida às ciências sociais, contribuindo na formação do pensamento geográfico e para o conhecimento de seu país e de sua região, o Nordeste brasileiro. Sendo natural de Vicência, município que compõe o Vale do Siriji, procurou-se inicialmente fazer uma abordagem desse Vale, no que tange ao processo histórico de exploração e ocupação de suas terras com a cana de açúcar, os engenhos e, as usinas, salientando as novas territorialidades existentes, junto à cana ou mesmo em substituição da mesma. Em seguida, situou-se, nesse Vale, Jundiá, engenho onde nasceu o estudioso. O trabalho salienta a vida desse pesquisador no engenho e, como ter nascido em uma família da aristocracia açucareira teve influência no caminho por ele trilhado ao longo de sua vida profissional e acadêmica. A postura que assumiu durante toda a sua vida reflete o rompimento que houve do geógrafo com aquelas ideias vigentes na estrutura dominante na sociedade do açúcar e do poder. Foi realizada análise documental de grande parte de sua obra através do método de pesquisa de Paul Thompson a fim de destacar a contribuição dada por ele à geografia em algumas áreas que foram objeto de suas preocupações e consequentemente eram das mais estudadas e discutidas em suas obras e atividades acadêmicas: a questão ambiental e a regional. / The reason in taking as subject of this thesis Manuel Correia de Andrade, a scholar in the geography of Pernambuco, is the the concern of this researcher to recover a little of the life trajectory of this Pernambuco scientist who, along his 84 years of existence, dedicated much of his life to the social sciences, having contributed for the formation of the geographic thought and for the knowledge of his country and of his region, the Brazilian Northeast. As Andrade is a native of Vicência, a municipality that composes the Siriji Valley, this study initially sought to describe this valley including the historical process of exploring and occupying its lands with sugarcane, sugar mills and mills. On that occasion, the new territorialities that were formed because of the sugarcane plantation or even in substitution of it were highlighted. Next, the Jundiá mill was presented, where the scholar was born. This work emphasizes the life of this researcher in the sugar mill and the fact that as being born in a family of the sugar aristocracy had influence in the way he has traveled throughout his professional and academic life. The attitude he has taken throughout his life reflects the breakdown of the geographer with those ideas prevailing in the dominant structure in the sugar and power society at that time. As a methodology, a documentary analysis of a large part of his work was done through Paul Thompson\'s research method. The purpose was to highlight the contribution made by the scholar to Geography in areas that were the subject of his concerns and, consequently, more studied and discussed in his works and academic activities: the environmental and regional issues.
