The aim of the thesis is to create a strategy for the gradual integration of the dilapidated area into the city's cultural hub. This project is primarily focused on harnessing the lucrative position of a sugar factory in the center of the city and trying to create the ideal conditions for the emergence of a commercially viable urban environment within it. The area has the potential to create a much needed city center. The location is convenient and the existences of monumental former storage halls, which are among the oldest buildings in the city, would encapsulate the industrial heritage of Břeclav for this venture. Thus, the revitalization can assess both the area's location and surroundings, and more broadly even the more expansive imagery of the whole city. The task of the thesis is not to determine the final form of the area but rather to determine the direction in which the revitalization could go. Emphasis is placed on the process and methodology of renewal.

A presente tese propõe-se a contribuir com os estudos sobre resistência e ação política das classes trabalhadoras no Brasil, a partir da análise de experiências de autoges­tão e recuperação de empresas por trabalhadores, fenômeno que surge no país no contexto de redemocratização e de forte crise econômica nas décadas de 1980 e 1990. Para isso, o trabalho investiga a história de luta dos trabalhadores daquela que foi considerada por estudiosos do tema a maior experiência de autogestão da América Latina, a Usina Catende, em Pernambuco. Situar os casos contemporâneos no rastro da história das experiências de autogestão dos trabalhadores, que ultrapassa as fronteiras nacionais e nos conduz às lutas associativistas do início da Revolução Industrial; apresentar um panorama atual das recuperações de empresas por trabalhadores no país, com a análise de dados coletados em estudo nacional realizado com pesquisadores de dez universidades brasileiras em 2012; e analisar a experiência dos trabalhadores de Catende no período em que lutaram para manter o seu trabalho, buscando criar novas relações sociais na produção do açúcar e em suas vidas são os objetivos dessa pesquisa, inspirada nos conceitos sobre história de Walter Benja min e em seu significado para os estudos sociológicos. / The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the study of the working-class re­ sistance and political action in Brazil, through the analysis of experiences of work­ ers\' self-management and recovety of emerprises: a phenomenon which arises in the country in the context of re-democratization and a serious economic crisis in the 1980s and 1990s. To do this, the study investigates the history of a workers\' struggle considered by researchers to be the largest self-management experience in Latin America: the Catende sugar refinery in the Brazilian state of Pernambuco. The research was inspired by Walter Benjamin\'s concepts of history and its signif­ icance for sociological studies. Based on those, the objectives of this study are: to situate contemporary cases in the historical path of self-management experiences of workers, which transcends national borders and take us back to the associative struggles of the early Industrial Revolution; to present a current overview of the experiences of worker recovered enterprises in the country, with an analysis of the results of a national joint study conducted by researchers from ten Brazilian uni­ versities in 2012; and to analyze the experience of the Catende workers during the period in which they fought to keep their jobs, aiming to create new social rela­ tions in sugar production and in their lives.

Cette recherche, fondée sur une enquête de terrain et l’analyse d’archives, vise à comprendre l’histoire et la mise en tourisme des complexes industriels dédiés au sucre ainsi que leur intégration au patrimoine culturel taiwanais. Après une présentation des origines du sucre et de son implantation, nous traiterons de l’histoire économique de l’île de façon chronologique, afin de mieux cerner le contexte de création puis de fermeture des complexes industriels. Puis, en retraçant l’histoire de l’architecture moderne et de l’urbanisme au Japon et dans ses colonies, nous expliquerons quelle a été l’organisation spatiale et l’architecture des sites, conçus comme des modèles avancés de communautés industrielles modernes. Un tour d’horizon des vestiges présents et des éléments disparus permettra de faire un état des lieux du niveau de préservation du patrimoine industriel taiwanais et de découvrir que si certains édifices sont encore en parfait état, d’autres ont parfois subi des destructions ou de lourdes modifications architecturales après 1945. Enfin, le détail de la mise en tourisme des sites à l’heure actuelle nous renseignera d’une part sur les projets de réutilisation décidés pour faire vivre les anciens complexes industriels maintenant transformés en « parcs culturels » et la façon dont les Taiwanais souhaitent mettre en valeur ce patrimoine redécouvert progressivement à partir des années 1990. D’autre part, nous découvrirons quels discours ont été choisi (et par qui) lors de la présentation de l’histoire des sites et de la mémoire ouvrière, dans le contexte sous-jacent de conflits interethniques et politiques intenses que connaît Taiwan depuis plusieurs décennies. / This research, based on a field study and on archives analysis, aims to understand the history and the transition into touristic spots of industrial complexes dedicated to sugar as well as their integration into the Taiwanese cultural heritage. After presenting the origins of sugar and it’s implantation in Taiwan, we will address the island’s economical history in a chronological manner in order to better understand the context in which these industrial complexes were created and later closed. Then, by recounting the history of modern architecture and urbanism in Japan and Japanese colonies, we will explain the spatial and architectural organization of these sites, built as advanced models of modern industrial communities. An overview of the present remains and of the elements that are now gone will enable us to highlight the Taiwanese heritage’s current state of preservation. Furthermore, to point out that even though some buildings are still in perfect condition, others have undergone destruction or heavy architectural modifications after 1945. Finally, detailing of the current transition into touristic venues of these sites will inform us, on one hand, on the projects dedicated to bringing back to life old industrial complexes by transforming them into « cultural parks » and, on the other hand, on the way the Taiwanese want to showcase a heritage they have rediscovered starting in the early nineties. Furthermore, we will bring to light what kind of discourses have been chosen (and by whom), when the history of these sites and their working class memory are presented, in Taiwan’s underlying context of intense inter-ethnic and political conflicts of the past few decades.
