O intuito prec?puo reside em analisar o papel e as representa??es que s?o proeminentemente associadas aos Centros Hist?ricos das respectivas cidades - diferen?as e semelhan?as. Desse modo, faz-se necess?rio realizar um panorama dos hist?ricos dos Centros das cidades de Jo?o pessoa e Tours, verificando assim as principais fun??es, usos e pr?ticas sociais que contribu?ram/contribuem para a consolida??o de certas representa??es sobre os referidos n?cleos origin?rios. / In the contemporary scene, it is conspicuous that the patrimony and the culture have assumed privileged positions in urban policies, presenting themselves as instruments for transforming and shaping the aspect of cities. In the plot line of such glowing trend, the competitiveness among cities has drawn more attention, for at present such urban centers garner an image that makes them suitable for economic purposes, thus more likely to attract investments and tourists. In the spotlight of such stage, the cities become notable actors, directed by policies of urban rehabilitation. In such plot line, the historical centers gain more visibility and are converted into venues for staging the spectacle of everyday life. Overlapped in this process of producing images, the phenomenon of gentrification recrudesces. Thus, the discussion threaded about the patrimony gains strength in urban studies, keeping a close relationship with the ways of perceiving the cities nowadays. This work is based on the principle that the historical centers are engendered and fond by urban policies, working as transforming instruments of city perceptions and living. In that sense, the way how the historic center and the valuation assessed to old buildings are comprehended by the inhabitants is largely guided by urban policies that outline a sellable image of the city. In the light of such elaborations, an ethnographic research was made with focus on two different contexts, namely: the historic centers of Jo?o Pessoa (Brazil) and Tours (France). It was done in a comparative perspective, for it allows us to trace the main specificities of each situation in order to highlight the similarities and distinctions about the two regions mentioned above. The research aimed at apprehending how the pair redevelopment-abandonment engendered by the urban policies influence on the process of revaluation of historical centers by dwellers and to what extent there are convergences regarding such kinds of interventions, as an object of policies of urban and touristic development in Brazil and France. In order to make this work ? besides the abundant bibliographic review carried out in libraries of several universities and institutions in Brazil and France ? dwellers, merchants, teachers, representative people of public agencies and former residents of the historic centers of both cities were interviewed. In Tours, immigrants/Portuguese descendants were interviewed, point that greatly contributed to the understanding of the historic center before Vieux Tours renewal and restoration. Moreover a rich research on Archives and Public Agencies was done, as well as investigations on newspaper and articles on the Internet. Thus, in the context of the ethnography in historic centers, it was possible to notice that both realities reveal similarities in a comparative analytical framework

C.. As diversas conquistas, guerras e epidemias alteraram drasticamente a postura do grego em rela??o a sua vida p?blica, a sua concep??o de deuses e, consequentemente, a constru??o de seus espa?os, sejam eles profanos ou sagrados. Atrav?s das fontes, percebemos que o culto do deus Ascl?pio se tornou bastante popular, neste contexto, sobretudo, gra?as ? maneira peculiar que o deus se relacionava com seus devotos, atrav?s de sonhos. Sabemos que o sonho era tido, para os gregos, como um espa?o de exist?ncia real, era um espa?o sagrado, e poderia ser acessado nos rituais de cura de Ascl?pio. O nosso trabalho se prop?e, deste modo, a compreender o curioso e peculiar espa?o on?rico, principalmente atrav?s das inscri??es, das estruturas arquitet?nicas do santu?rio e dos textos antigos que fazem refer?ncia ao contexto do per?odo, pois entendemos que este espa?o foi a condi??o essencial para a populariza??o do culto, pois colocava o indiv?duo em contato direto com a divindade, numa rara proximidade entre homens e deuses admitida pelo imagin?rio grego at? ent?o / Profound changes have marked Greek society from the fourth century B.C.. Conquests, wars and epidemics altered drastically the Greek?s posture regarding his public life, his conception of gods and hence the construction of their spaces, whether sacred or profane. Through the fonts, we perceived that the cult of god Asklepeios turned very popular, in this context, for the peculiar way that the god relates to his devotees, through the dreams. We know that the dream was held, for the Greeks, as a space of real existence, it was sacred, and could be accessed in the healing rituals of Asklepios. Our work intends, thereby, to understand the curious and peculiar oniric space, mainly through the inscriptions, architectural structures of the sanctuary and the ancient texts that refer to the context of the period, because we understand that this space was the essential condition for the popularization of the cult, it placed the individual in direct contact with the divinity, a rare closeness between men and gods accepted by the greek imagery until then.

[ES] RESUMEN Una cultura en llamas: arte puertorriqueño de resistencia en el siglo xxi es una investigación cuyo objeto tiene su origen siglos atrás, dado que analiza las circunstancias geopolíticas de la isla de Puerto Rico en el marco de dos imperios diferentes: el de España a partir del siglo xv y el de los Estados Unidos desde el xix. Este recorrido histórico retrata el sustrato ideológico puertorriqueño, y sienta las bases de la experiencia de subyugación política, militar y social de ese país. La investigación también escudriña y considera una serie de teorías, pensamientos filosóficos y mecanismos de control social que ilustran, desde una perspectiva actual, los problemas existentes con el coloniaje y el patriarcado. Esta tesis aporta nuevos conocimientos, principalmente mediante la reseña y el análisis en profundidad de la producción de un puñado selecto de artistas contemporáneos de Puerto Rico, quienes, a través de la creación de su obra en los años 2000-2018, canalizan contestaciones y soluciones de vanguardia contra el malestar existencial de la psiquis colectiva del país. El arte, ya como afirmación de identidad ya como gesto de resistencia abierta, hace frente de modo inequívoco a dichos sistemas de poder, lo cual se ve reflejado a lo largo de la historia puertorriqueña en el arte y la cultura, desde tiempos precolombinos hasta la contemporaneidad del siglo XXI. / [CAT] RESUM Una cultura en llamas: arte puertorriqueño de resistencia en el siglo xxi és una investigació l'objecte de la qual té l'origen segles arrere, atès que analitza les circumstàncies geopolítiques de l'illa de Puerto Rico en el marc de dos imperis diferents: el d'Espanya a partir del segle xv i el dels Estats Units des del xix. Aquest recorregut històric retrata el substrat ideològic porto-riqueny, i posa les bases de l'experiència de subjugació política, militar i social d'aquell país. La investigació també escodrinya i considera una sèrie de teories, pensaments filosòfics i mecanismes de control social que il·lustren, des d'una perspectiva actual, els problemes que plantegen el colonialisme i el patriarcat. Aquesta tesi aporta nous coneixements, sobretot mitjançant la ressenya i l'anàlisi en profunditat de la producció d'un grapat selecte d'artistes contemporanis de Puerto Rico que, a través de la creació de la seua obra els anys 2000-2018, canalitzen contestacions i solucions d'avantguarda contra el malestar existencial de la psique col·lectiva del país. L'art, siga com a afirmació d'identitat o com a gest de resistència oberta, fa front de manera inequívoca a aquests sistemes de poder, la qual cosa es veu reflectida al llarg de la història porto-riquenya en l'art i la cultura, des dels temps precolombins fins a la contemporaneïtat del segle XXI. / [EN] SUMMARY A Culture in Flames: Puerto Rican Art of Resistance in the XXI Century, is an investigation with its origins during past centuries, analysing the circumstances of the geo- politics in the Island of Puerto Rico, stemming from two empires, Spain in the XV Century and the United States in the XIX Century. This historic journey, portrays a Puerto Rican ideological substrate, one that establishes the basis of a multi sectorial experience of political, military and social subjugation. This investigation also scrutinises and reflects upon a series of theories, philosophical thoughts and social control mechanisms, all of which illustrate, from a current day perspective, the existing problems with colonialism and patriarchy. This thesis contributes new knowledge, mainly with the reviewing and in depth analysis of the production of a select group of contemporary artists in Puerto Rico, whom through their creative artworks, between the years of 2000-2018, channel answers and solutions of vanguard, against the existential discomfort of the collective psyche of their Country. Art, as an affirmation of identity, as well as a gesture of open resistance, makes an unequivocal front against said systems of power, all of which are reflected throughout their history, art and culture, from pre Colombian up to the contemporary times of the XXI Century. / Rivera Toro Iv, Q.

In September of 2017, Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria, both category 5 hurricanes, swept across the Caribbean, including the U.S. Territory island of Puerto Rico. These two storms, particularly Hurricane Maria, caused catastrophic damages from high winds and flooding to the island paradise. This research investigates the direct effects that Hurricane Maria had on the residential construction industry within Puerto Rico and evaluates how to better prioritize and manage these types of efforts in the future. This research was initiated to identify challenges and opportunities that have been encountered within the Puerto Rican construction industry during the first year of reconstruction, post-Hurricane Maria. Residential structures that were built using current building codes experienced minimal storm damage. Many of the damaged residential structures, on the other hand, were made up of informal construction, predominantly using light wood framing methods. Unfortunately, homes built using informal construction practices were not insured nor eligible for government rebuilding assistance. Therefore, these damaged structures will more than likely be rebuilt using informal building practices again. Other immediate challenges faced by the construction industry included finding skilled labor and creating access to resources. The results of this research can be used to help prioritize reconstruction efforts and provide best practices following other similar disasters that will inevitably occur in the future. This research is unique in that it specifically targets the construction industry's experience and ultimately the ability to increase the effectiveness of the critical role the construction industry plays in rebuilding efforts.
