A partir da análise de um fluxo emigratório de brasileiros de Goiás em direção à República da Irlanda, esta tese tem como objetivo compreender como os elementos da identidade regional desses imigrantes são reforçados, negociados ou negados no contexto da vida no exterior. Procurei, ainda, entender como essa experiência impacta as leituras que esses sujeitos fazem do lugar ao qual pertencem e dos lugares pelos quais transitam. A etnografia e a coleta de dados foram realizadas no Brasil e na Irlanda, entre 2009 e 2011, nas cidades de Anápolis, GO, e Tullamore, Kilbeggan e Gort, Irlanda, e teve um caráter multissituado. Considerando que as estimativas da emigração internacional no Brasil, apresentadas pelo IBGE e MRE, mostram que desde a década de 1980 o estado de Goiás se destaca como exportador de trabalhadores para o exterior, tentei identificar os elementos que alimentam a duração desse processo que, além de estar inserido no âmbito do fluxo emigratório de brasileiros na mesma década, sugere a formação de uma cultura emigratória no estado. A etnografia evidenciou que a centralidade dos elementos rurais na vida goiana permanece configurando os sentidos que os indivíduos atribuem ao mundo que os cerca, mesmo quando se deslocam para outros espaços geográficos ou se deparam com outras formas de viver e pensar o mundo. Nesse sentido, a região permanece como uma referência central da vida. Ao levaram sua música sertaneja, a comida típica, as festas de quadrilha, o berrante e as danças country para a Irlanda, esses imigrantes colocam no jogo das negociações identitárias sua regionalidade, evidenciando a diversidade que nos faz brasileiros. / From the analysis of an emigratory flux of brazilian people from Goiás to the Republic of Ireland, this thesis aims to understand how the elements of the regional identity of these imigrants are reinforced, negociated or denied in the context of living abroad. I´ve tried also to understand how is the impact of that experience in the reading that these individuals make of the place they belong and those where they transit. The ethnography and the data collection were made in Brazil and in Ireland, between 2009 and 2011, in the cities of Anápolis (GO – Brazil) and Tullamore, Kilbeggan and Gort (Ireland), showing a multi situated feature. Considering the brazilian international emigration estimates, presented by IBGE and MRE, showing that sinds the 1980´s the state of Goiás points out as an exporter of workers to foreign countries, I´ve tried to identify the elements that feed the duration of that process, which, besides of being inserted in the brazilian emigratory flux scope (that started in the same period), suggests the development of a emigratory culture in the state. As evidenced by ethnography, the centrality of the rural elements in the “vida goiana” keeps forming the senses that the individuals ascribe to the world surrounding them, even when they go to another geographic areas or face different ways of living and thinking the world. In that sense, the Region stays as a central reference of life. By taking their “sertaneja” music, typical food, “quadrilha” parties, “berrante” and country dances to Ireland, these imigrants include their region identity in the play of identity negotiations, evidencing the diversity that makes us brazilian.

S’inscrivant dans le champ désormais classique de la construction nationale, cette thèse a pour principal objectif de mettre en lumière le rôle joué par les régions dans le processus de consolidation de l’État-nation en Amérique latine, au tournant des XIXe et XXe siècles (1880-1920). La thèse entend démontrer que, si cette période correspond dans tous les pays d’Amérique latine à un moment de forte centralisation du pouvoir central, c’est également une période d’importante redéfinition des identités régionales et de leur participation dans les destins nationaux.Pour mener à bien ce projet d’interprétation des évolutions politiques contemporaines de l’Amérique latine, l’analyse doctorale propose une comparaison du discours politique et des arguments émis par les élites de Guadalajara, au Mexique, et d’Arequipa, au Pérou, à partir d’une révision systématique et détaillée de la presse régionale publiée dans les deux villes. / Belonging to the now classical historiographical field of the national construction the thesis has for main objective to understand the role played by regions in the process of consolidation of the nation-state in Latin America, in the transition between nineteenth and twentieth centuries (1880-1920). The thesis wants to demonstrate that, if this period corresponds in all Latin American countries to a strong centralization moment from the central power, it’s also an important moment in the definition of regional identities and it participation to the national destiny. To carry out this interpretative project of the political contemporary evolution of Latin America, the doctoral analysis proposes to compare the political speech and arguments emitted by the elites from Guadalajara, in Mexico, and Arequipa in Peru, from a systematic and detailed revision of the regional press published in both cities.

The process of region building and regionalization is an emerging phenomenon examined in the same time by historians, geographers, political scientists, economists diplomats and other scientific profiles. The concepts of region and regionalization could appear at different spatial scales, such as supra-state, sub-state or as a cross-border units and processes. Furthermore region and regionalization are complex for defining because they incorporate different narratives and categories as regional identity, spatial borders and delineating, cultural and social homogeneity, political and economic interdependence etc. Regions are invented, re-invented or constructed with purpose to reply to different functional, territorial and administrative purposes. In the era of ongoing globalization and deepening of the European integration, regions are becoming powerful tool for achieving different goals and interests. Nowadays regions, regional cooperation, regional identity are becoming a terms very often used in political and public discourses for different kind of mobilization. Western Balkan, similarly as Visegrad and Baltic regional formats is one of the emerging spatial formation that is appearing in the context of EU integration policies. In Macedonian political and public discourse these tendencies are...

The thesis is rooted in the new regional geography paradigm that gained strength in geographical thought since the 1980s. This approach is characterized by emphasizing the socially constructed nature of regions; thus, regions are scrutinized as a historically contingent process. A region is formed, reproduced and eventually disappears in time. The thesis works with the assumption that a plurality of regions, that exists in changing time- space contexts of different mechanisms and meanings, can be experienced de facto in any particular area. In simpler terms, it can be understood as a plurality of regional images produced on the one side by regional actors to fulfil their particular goals and on the other regional images produced by inhabitants in and outside the region in order to understand the outside world and position themselves within it. Motivation for the production of images can vary, from a simple manifestation of one position in the regional system, through the attempt to attract attention towards the region to exploitation of the regional potential in order to fulfil particular power-oriented aims. The general idea of a region can be sought throughout the synthesis of the many regional images that can be understood as somewhat layers of a region. The thesis contributes to the discussion...

Science and technology have a tendency to clump together in places where they spawn other forms of societal activities. Sometimes these places become famous through processes known as place-making, or the social construction of place. Because the scientific and technological activities affect the places, and the places conversely affect the science and technology, it is relevant to study how and why these connections emerge. This dissertation examines the particular case of the northern Swedish town of Kiruna, which has become known for being a `space town' because of its scientific, technological, and other activities that relate to the near space around the earth. The overall objective is to analyse the processes underlying the making of Kiruna as a space town in the period 1943--2000. Five parts make up the study. First is an examination of how the development of space physics research in Kiruna led to the setting up of a scientific observatory. The second part studies how the Swedish participation in the European Space Research Organisationmade Kiruna the place for a rocket base. Next follows an analysis of how local business efforts contributed to forming a new satellite technology business and the Space House office building. The fourth part concerns how the visions to establish a space `university' eventually led to the emergence of the Space Campus. Last is an epilogue that briefly analyses the space tourism efforts in Kiruna. A central finding is that the space town has emerged as the result of entwined processes where, on the one hand, ideas about the near space around the earth have led to new activities and physical structures, and, on the other hand, these new activities and built structures conversely have inspired to new ideas. Of importance is also the geographical place where these developments have occurred. Here, a reoccurring argument to placing the activities and structures in Kiruna was the town's geographically favourable location for specific scientific and technological activities. Another finding is that the development has gradually led to the emergence of a kind of identity or notion of Kiruna as a particular place for space activities. Although this form of place-making has occurred largely through spontaneous processes, it was also the result of intentional efforts. Together, these different place-making processes have formed the `space town' of Kiruna.

Ce travail porte sur la place et le rôle de l’architecture dans le processus de construction de la nation italienne au tournant des XIXe et XXe siècles. Pour cela, nous avons choisi d’isoler un certain nombre de figures identitaires et de les étudier à travers le prisme de commémorations organisées en Italie durant la première période de l’unification (1861-1921). Notre étude est rythmée par l’analyse de trois commémorations liées entre elles par l’activité de l’historien d’art Corrado Ricci.Le huitième centenaire de la création de l’université de Bologne en 1888 et les travaux architecturaux d’Alfonso Rubbiani nous offrent un des premiers exemples d’une fête marquée par la réinvention d’un monument ancien. Les célébrations du cinquantenaire de l’unité italienne en 1911, et plus particulièrement l’exposition régionale et ethnographique organisée à Rome, nous ont permis de définir une nouvelle articulation entre les identités régionales et l’identité nationale ; selon l’idée de l’époque l’unité du génie artistique national émergerait de la diversité des genius loci illustrée par l’architecture des communes de la fin du Moyen Âge et de la première Renaissance. Enfin, les commémorations du 600e anniversaire de la mort de Dante en 1921 constituent le pivot de notre étude. Au cours de ce centenaire, on restaura un grand nombre d’édifices dans toute l’Italie, et plus particulièrement à Florence et à Ravenne. Dans ces deux villes, les travaux s’étendirent à l’échelle urbaine, aboutissant à la création de zones dantesques et à la réinvention de l’image d’une architecture médiévale à vocation identitaire. / This dissertation questions the place and role of architecture in the Italian national building process at the turn of the twentieth century. We chose to isolate several paradigmatic figures of identity (such as Dante or some distinctive features of medieval architecture) and to study them through the prism of a number of commemorations held in Italy in the first decades after unification (1861-1921). The analysis of three commemorations bound together by the activity of the art historian Corrado Ricci constitutes the core of our study.The eighth centenary of the creation of the University of Bologna in 1888 and the architectural activity of Alfonso Rubbiani are studied as one of the first examples of a commemoration not marked by the construction of a new monument but by the reinvention of an old one. The careful consideration of the 1911 celebrations for the 50th anniversary of Italian unification and especially the regional and ethnographic exhibition held in Rome on this occasion allowed us to define a new articulation between national and regional identity, defined as a unity of national artistic genius through a multiplicity of genius loci “rediscovered” in the architecture of late Middle Ages and early Renaissance Commune. The third and main object of our analysis are the commemorations for the 600th anniversary of Dante's death in 1921. For this event many buildings were restored throughout Italy, especially in Florence and Ravenna. In both cities, the impact of commemorations reached an urban scale, leading to the creation of whole areas known as zone dantesche: spatial evidences of the powerful myth that the figure of Dante embodied in this historical conjuncture. Supported by the newly acquired value of heritage in the national building process, this commemoration was a crucial step in the invention of a neomedieval city and its mass diffusion through a set of visual stereotypes.

Avec ce projet de thèse, nous avons l´intention d'étudier le rôle de l'action extérieure des territoires dans la configuration de ses identités régionales. Nous allons nous concentrer sur le cas andalou au cours des dernières décennies. Ainsi, nous allons étudier l'effet de l'action extérieure de la communauté autonome d'Andalousie au cours de la période 1977-2007; accordant une attention particulière à son interaction avec le développement politique, social, économique et culturel de l'État, dans le cadre des politiques générales de l'Union européenne, et avec les territoires voisins, notamment le Maroc. / With this thesis project, we intend to study the role of the external action of the territories in the configuration of its regional identities. We will focus on the Andalusian case in recent decades. Thus, we will study the effect of the external action of the Autonomous Community of Andalusia during the period 1977-2007. We will paying particular attention to its interaction with the political, social, economic and cultural development of the State, within the framework of the general policies of the European Union and with neighboring territories, in particular Morocco. / Con este proyecto de tesis, pretendemos estudiar el papel de la acción externa de los territorios en la configuración de sus identidades regionales. Nos centraremos en el caso andaluz en las últimas décadas. Así, estudiaremos el efecto de la acción externa de la Comunidad Autónoma de Andalucía durante el período 1977-2007; prestando especial atención a su interacción con el desarrollo político, social, económico y cultural del Estado, en el marco de las políticas generales de la Unión Europea y con los territorios vecinos, en particular Marruecos.

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar o ensino de História nas escolas primárias do Pará, nas primeiras décadas do século XX, considerando as representações veiculadas nos manuais didáticos Apostilas de História do Pará (1915), de Theodoro Braga, e Noções de História Pátria (1920), de Silvio Nascimento e Raymundo Proença, ambos produzidos por autores paraenses e utilizados nas instituições de ensino desse Estado. Por meio da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, buscamos investigar a regionalização do ensino de História nas primeiras décadas do século XX e como os manuais analisados apresentaram a História nacional e os processos históricos regionais. O aporte teórico perpassa pelos estudos de Chervel (1990) acerca das disciplinas escolares, de Choppin (2004, 2009) e de Bittencourt (2008) sobre a produção e a utilização de manuais didáticos, travando um diálogo com o conceito de representação de Chartier (1990). Além desses autores, também são relevantes as considerações de Bourdieu (1989) sobre os mecanismos de construção da identidade regional. Com esta pesquisa, pudemos averiguar que a regionalização do ensino de História não é algo recente e que o ensino proposto nos dois manuais que analisamos tinha a pretensão de forjar uma identidade regional para os paraenses, ao mesmo tempo em que ajudava na construção da identidade nacional brasileira. / This dissertation aims to analyze the teaching of History in elementary schools of Pará State, Brazil, in the first decades of the twentieth century, considering the representations produced by authors from Pará and conveyed in Apostilas de História do Pará (1915) by Theodoro Braga, and Noções de História Pátria (1920) by Sílvio Nascimento and Raymundo Proença textbooks, and used in educational institutions of this State. Using documentary and bibliographical research, the regionalization of history teaching in the first decades of the twentieth century was explored, analyzing how the textbooks presented the national history and regional historical processes. The theoretical approach permeates the study of Chervel (1990) about the school subjects of Choppin (2004, 2009) and of Bittencourt (2008) on the production and use of textbooks, promoting a dialogue with the representation concept of Chartier (1990). In addition to these authors, considerations of Bourdieu (1989) are also relevant on the construction of mechanisms of regional identity. With this research, it could be verified that the regionalization of history teaching is not something new and that teaching proposed in the two analyzed textbooks was meant to forge a regional identity for Pará population, at the same time that helped in the construction of Brazilian national identity.

Analisam-se os diferentes tipos sociais e cenários, estratégias humorísticas e relações com os ouvintes construídos no humorístico Top Show, exibido pela Rádio Peperi Top 104 FM, de São Miguel do Oeste (SC), bem como as relações com o contexto mediado/midiatizado da recepção. O objetivo é investigar como o programa de humor articula em suas construções humorísticas elementos simbólicos presentes no cotidiano cultural dos seus ouvintes e entender como se constituem os sentidos, as apropriações, os pactos e as recusas dessas construções na recepção do programa. Procura-se, então, analisar a construção discursiva das identidades regionais, expressa nos elementos caricatos e paródias apresentados no programa e nas operações simbólicas realizadas pelos ouvintes. Para a análise dos âmbitos de produção/produto/recepção adotou-se uma perspectiva multimetodológica que atenda essas diferentes dimensões do processo comunicacional. Os resultados apontam para uma mescla de referenciais vinculados à experiência midiatizada e às matrizes da cultura regional, como é o caso do sotaque, da tradição, do espaço rural e das identidades étnicas, os quais permeiam os dispositivos comunicacionais que constituem o produto midiático investigado, além de constituir pactos de leitura com a recepção. / This dissertation discusses the communicational texture instituted between the comedic constructions of a radio program and the identitarian images of its audience. It analyzes the different social types and scenarios, humor strategies and relationships with listeners that are constructed in the radio comedy program called Top Show, broadcast by Rádio Peperi Top 104 FM, an FM radio station in São Miguel do Oeste, state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, as well as the programs relations with the media-related context of reception. The dissertations goal is to investigate how that radio program includes in its comedic constructions symbolic elements that are present in the daily culture of its listeners and to understand how the meanings, appropriations, alliances and refusals of those constructions are constituted in the program?s reception. It also analyzes the discoursive construction of regional identities as expressed in the caricatural and parodistic elements that are presented in the program and the audiences symbolic operations. For the analysis of the areas of production/product/reception the author adopts a multi-methodological approach that covers these various dimensions of the communication process. The results show a blending of referents connected to the media-related experience and to the matrices of regional culture, such as accent, tradition, rural space and ethnic identities, which permeate the communicational devices that make up the radio program and establish reading alliances with the reception.
