O direito dos escravos : lutas juridicas e abolicionismo na provincia de São Paulo na segunda metade do seculo XIX

Azevedo, Elciene 26 February 2003 (has links)
Orientador : Silvia Hunold Lara / Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Filosofia e Ciencias Humanas / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-03T02:25:27Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Azevedo_Elciene_D.pdf: 8734356 bytes, checksum: b705a4469b817385c5032ba393d29136 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2003 / Resumo: Esta tese tem por objetivo analisar o processo de consolidação do movimento abolicionista em São Paulo na segunda metade do século XIX. Através de vasta documentação produzida por Juizes de Direito e Chefes de Polícia, além de artigos publicados em folhas de diversas matizes políticas e processos criminais, mostra como este movimento ganhou força não somente a partir da atuação dos advogados como Luiz Gama e Antonio Bento, mas também da ação dos próprios escravos - cuja pressão sempre crescente mostrava que a escravaria, longe de estar isolada e acéfala nos eitos, dava a seu modo o tom e o argumento jurídico de muitos advogados. Procura assim explicar como o Direito pôde se transformar em um aliado dos escravos em sua busca pela liberdade, desmontando habituais distinções e rupturas entre fases "legalistas" e "radicais" do abolicionismo paulista / Abstract: The aim of the present thesis is to analyze the process through which the abolitionist movement was consolidated in São Paulo in the second half of the nineteenth century. The research was based on a variety of documents produced by magistrates and police chiefs; lawsuits; as well as articles published in newspapers of different political persuasions. This work shows that the abolitionist movement gained strength not only through the action of lawyers such as Luiz Gama and Antonio Bento, but also through the actions of the si aves themselves. The growing pressure of the si aves indicated that, far from being an isolated and voiceless party, the slaves guided in their own way the legal argument of many lawyers. This thesis is thus an attempt at explaining how the law was used in favor of the slaves in their quest for freedom. Ao additional outcome of this work is the deconstruction of the usual distinctions and ruptures between "legalist" and "radical" phases of the abolitionism in São Paulo / Doutorado / Historia Social / Doutor em História

O Oceano por onde Passa o Navio Negreiro

Menasche, Diana M 01 January 2012 (has links) (PDF)
A tese apresenta uma leitura aprofundada do poema “O Navio Negreiro”, de Castro Alves, valorizando os ricos aspectos imagéticos, narrativos e sonoros presentes na obra, assim como trazendo à luz o caráter holográfico de sua estrutura. Estudam-se as metáforas empregadas, as mudanças na atitude e no posicionamento geográfico do eu-lírico, bem como os recursos estilísticos que propiciam o encantamento do falar em voz alta característico do poema, no contexto de sua organicidade. This thesis presents an in-depth reading of the poem “O Navio Negreiro,” written by Castro Alves. It analyzes the complex metaphors, narrative strategies and sound effects employed by the romantic poet, as well as the holographic aspect of the general structure. “O Navio Negreiro” is thus studied in the context of its organicity, taking into consideration the rich imagery, the multiple changes – both interior and exterior – which occur in the lyric-voice, and the manipulation of sounds, which leads to the fascinating stylistic effects that allow for the magic enchantment produced by the reading of the verses aloud.

As faces do autor: autoralidade nos discursos de Claudio de Moura Castro

Baptista, Carlos Alberto 28 August 2015 (has links)

No. of bitstreams: 1 Carlos Alberto Baptista.pdf: 14989568 bytes, checksum: 8a38db08147f15c62d736b6650c41d68 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-08-28 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This dissertation deals with the study of auctorialité in the discourses of economist Moura Castro. Since 1996, the economist publishes his opinion articles on Revista Veja, in which he usually handles Education matters and its economic implications. The position taken in his discourses are harshly criticized by educators, who consider them to observe the Education only under the economic optics, not connected to the teaching practice. It is created, then, a polemic image of the author that leads us to reflect on what allows a subject to pass through different knowledge areas and to have his discourse accounted for legitimate, even if his position contradicts other discourses inside the pedagogical field. The aims of this research are: to examine the auctorialité in this discourses and the implicated instances, through the production of subjectivity; to identify the construction of auctorialité in the opinion articles written by Moura Castro; to verify the positions from the Economy and Education fields related to the author s and enunciator s images. It is conducted an enunciative-discursive analysis, based on the theoretical and methodological postulations from french Discourse Analysis, supported by Maingueneau works. Auctorialité, inside this perspective, gives us the foundation to operate upon the projection and interaction of the enunciative instances, which act on this discourses, as well as upon positions and places that referred discourses establish. Therefore, we identify how the person, writer and the enunciator instances act on the maintenance of what the author assembles in the Moura Castro s opinion articles. Furthermore, the legitimacy of those discourses is founded on the values of a society in which the dominant myth of economic development turns the Economy into a supreme legitimacy science, while it integrates the Education as an associated instrument to this universal objective. Accordingly, the author position becomes decisive in the educational field, because when it is allied with the political-economic liberalism, begins to deliberate inside that field and to define it / Esta Dissertação trata do estudo da autoralidade em discursos de Moura Castro. Desde 1996, o economista publica seus artigos de opinião na Revista Veja, onde geralmente aborda assuntos relacionados à Educação e suas implicações com a Economia. Os posicionamentos assumidos em seus discursos são criticados severamente por educadores, que os consideram como uma leitura da Educação apenas da ótica econômica, desvinculada da prática pedagógico-educacional. Cria-se, assim, uma imagem polêmica de autor, que nos leva a refletir sobre o que permite a um sujeito poder transitar entre diferentes áreas de conhecimento e ter o seu discurso considerado legítimo, mesmo que seu posicionamento se oponha a outros discursos no interior do campo pedagógico-educacional. São objetivos desta pesquisa: examinar a autoralidade nesses discursos e as instâncias implicadas por ela, por meio da produção da subjetividade; identificar a constituição da autoralidade no gênero de discurso artigo de opinião escrito por Moura Castro; verificar os posicionamentos dos campos da Economia e da Educação relacionados à imagem autoral e a do enunciador. Trata-se de uma análise enunciativo-discursiva, com embasamento teórico-metodológico na Análise de Discurso de linha francesa, nas perspectivas desenvolvidas por Maingueneau. A autoralidade, dentro dessa perspectiva, dá-nos respaldo para operar sobre a projeção e interação das instâncias enunciativas, que atuam nestes discursos, assim como, sobre os posicionamentos e lugares que tais discursos instauram. Assim, identificamos como as instâncias da pessoa, do escritor e do enunciador atuam na manutenção daquilo que o autor reúne, nos artigos de opinião de Moura Castro. Além disso, a legitimidade desses discursos se fundamenta nos valores de uma sociedade na qual o mito dominante do desenvolvimento econômico torna a Economia uma ciência de suprema legitimidade, ao mesmo tempo que integra a Educação como instrumento aliado a esse objetivo universal. Nesse sentido, o posicionamento do autor passa a ser decisivo no campo educacional, pois aliado ao liberalismo políticoeconômico, passa a deliberar no interior desse campo e a defini-lo

Nonetheless, once we analyze the 20th century productions, we can observe the expressive number of men who write for the theater. Ever since early times, women's play-writing has been reduced due to the socially instituted condition of marginalization of the female figure. In general, it is compared to the writing of men, being, hence, analyzed in light of the canon of male domination. When tracking the drama production from the period in question, we can identify the work of some important writers, especially Consuelo de Castro. Her texts express the concern about the female's social condition in Brazil along different periods of the country's history .Thus, the playwright reveals the transformations suffered by women along the years. This dissertation has focus on the study of Consuelo de Castro, in at least three distinct moments of sir career, focusing the image of the woman represented in ? flor da pele (1969), Louco Circo do Desejo (1983) e Only You (2001). / O estudo te?rico acerca da dramaturgia brasileira das ?ltimas d?cadas atribuise na medida em que contribui para o resgate da mem?ria e da identidade nacional.

Nomeando as páginas introdutórias deste romance como Prefácio um tanto gordo para um romance um tanto magro, Josué de Castro distende, ao retomar num tempo que já considerava anacrônico, o hábito pela escrita prefacial, a concepção de paratexto ampliada por Gerard Genette (1930), em Palimpsestes (1982). Apresentando a fome pelas recordações infantis que dela possui, o autor aguça no público-leitor a vontade de tatear, rente a seu olhar aparentemente ingênuo de criança e, de ficcionista de “primeira viagem”, o macrocosmo de memórias da fome que lhe serve como porto de partida para a criação de um microcosmo lúdico e faminto, pelo qual a imaginação e impossibilidade de re-apresentação total do vivido na linguagem, rearranjam a realidade da condição humana, reinventando-a pela articulação dramática dos elementos formais, sobretudo, tempo-espaço, narrador e personagem. A ficção se põe no ritmo fragmentado de aventuras e desventuras assumidas a partir dos intervalos da memória. Serão sumários nos estudos mnemônicos, as apreciações de Henri Bergson em Matéria e memória (1896), Jacques Le Goff em História e memória (1924) e Maurice Halbwachs, na publicação póstuma de A memória coletiva (1950), em face de serem fontes subsidiárias da aproximação entre os estudos da memória e a literatura. Lança-se mão da lembrança a fim de legendar os diálogos futuros entre o protagonista infantil, João Paulo, ávido pela liberdade sonhadora própria da criança, e as memórias de outros experientes personagens, nem tão esperançosos assim. Dá-se na narrativa o tom que oscila entre a transformação e a acomodação do eu e do outro, de espaços simbioticamente incertos e unidos por suas fomes. Fome que é, desde então, a personagem modeladora, que provoca o diálogo da presente pesquisa com o modo de apreensão que é dado por Angela Faria, na dissertação Homens e caranguejos: uma trama interdisciplinar. A literatura topofílica e telúrica (2008). Vislumbra-se no elemento famélico uma função que vai além da tematização social do subdesenvolvimento, como agente que apalpa com mãos-de-ferro o estrato formal e interno da obra. / Homens e caranguejos (1967), only fictional narrative of Josué Apolônio de Castro (1908-1973), a priori published in french (1966), during the forcible exile of the author in Paris, it is summarily significant since the prologue which precedes the plot. Naming the introductory pages of this novel as Preface even more interesting than the novel , Josué de Castro stretches, going back in a time already considered anachronistic, the habit by prefatory writing, the conception of paratext amplified by Gerard Genette (1930), in Palimpsestes (1982). Introducing the hunger for childhood memories that he has, the author excites the readership's will to be closer to his seemingly childish naive, and also to his "inexperienced" thoughts of a fiction writer, the macrocosm of memories of hunger that served to him as port of departure for creating a playful and ravenous microcosm, in which the imagination and inability to complete re-presentation of the living language, rearrange the reality of the human condition, reinventing it for the dramatic articulation of formal elements, especially temporary space, narrator and character. Fiction sets in fragmented pace of adventures and misadventures assumed from the gaps of memory. Summaries will be the mnemonic studies, assessments of Henri Bergson in Matéria e memória (1896), Jacques Le Goff in História e memória (1924) and Maurice Halbwachs, the posthumous publication of A memória coletiva (1950), in the face of being subsidiaries sources the rapprochement between memory studies and literary activity. Launches hand keepsake to subbing future dialogues between child protagonist, João Paulo, avid dreamer's own freedom of the child, and the memories of other characters experienced, not as hopeful as well. Takes place in the narrative tone that oscillates between the processing and accommodation of self and other, space and uncertain symbiotically united by their hunger. Hunger that is, since the molding character, which causes the dialogue of this research with the mode of apprehension which is given by Angela Faria, the dissertation Homens e caranguejos: uma trama interdisciplinar. A literatura topofílica e telúrica (2008). One glimpses peckish element in a function that goes beyond thematization of social underdevelopment, as agent gropes with hand iron-formal and internal stratum of the novel.

The development of secondary school education in revolutionary Cuba, 1959-1991: A world-systems approach

Griffiths, Thomas January 1998 (has links)
Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) / In 1959 the popular Revolution of national liberation and independence triumphed in Cuba, extended a few years later into a Marxist-Leninist strategy for building socialism and communism on the island. In this radical social and political context, conditions were ripe for a radical alternative approach to secondary school education. This research confirms and extends existing evidence and analyses, showing that the model of secondary schooling established in revolutionary Cuba shared fundamental aspects of dominant models throughout the world. In particular, Cuba’s revolutionary schools are shown to have adopted a similar approach to mass education, as an investment in human capital and citizen formation. In the analysis of this historical phenomenon, a world-systems geocultural approach is used to describe and explain the non-exceptional form and character of Cuba’s secondary schools. The approach synthesises world-system level economic and cultural aspects, within the concept of a world-systems ‘geoculture’ of development, describing how these interrelated influences historically conditioned secondary school education policy and practice in Cuba. This process is traced through the impact of the world-economy, and related world-systems geocultural assumptions and objectives, over the political economy of Cuba’s socialist project, with direct implications for secondary school education. The world-system level conditioning influence on school policy and practice is shown to have been mediated by the particular national conditions, such that features specific to Cuba’s secondary schools are identified within the broad framework and constraints of the world-system level influence. The world-systems geocultural approach provides a viable, historical account of secondary school policy and practice in revolutionary Cuba. General continuity is identified, in accordance with the broad, world-system level influence. The historical analysis demonstrates the need for a world-system level approach, and supports the need to include world economic and cultural factors, under the geocultural framework.

古巴依賴結構與外交政策之研究(1959-1990年) / Research on Dependency and Cuban Foreign Policy

魏世鉅, Lucas Wei, S. C. Unknown Date (has links)
一九五九年革命後成為西半球第一個社會主義國家,革命以前的經濟幾乎全部受到美國企業的控制,是典型資本主義依賴形式。古巴革命後大多依賴理論學者認為古巴依賴結構應已打破,於是將古巴排除於依賴理論的適用解釋之外,但是歷經三十六年的社會主義的洗禮,從歷史縱向發展脈絡來看,古巴依然處於依賴情境之下。   不同點在於社會主義依賴的剝削機制少了跨國公司與外國私人資本,不過蘇聯透過跨國的共黨組織關係作為掌握社會主義衛星國的政經發展。因此有學者認為革命後的古巴用一種(社會主義)形式的依賴交換另一種(資本主義)形式的依賴。筆者認為依賴理論不應拘泥於抽象的解釋而應能用於具體形式的詮釋,故對依賴理論能否適用解釋社會主義體系加以探討。   此外,依賴理論所探討的問題核心大多偏向國內發展的各項問題,事實上依賴對外交政策的影響就如同對國內的影響多少會產生扭曲的作用。筆者試圖從古巴發展的歷史軌跡去探討在西班牙殖民時期、「唯美主義」下的古巴政治經濟發展並進而探討「蘇聯社會主義體系」下的古巴依賴結構與外交政策的演變。

Capitalizing on Castro : Mexico's foreign relations with Cuba and the United States, 1959-1969

Keller, Renata Nicole 10 July 2014 (has links)
This dissertation explores the central paradox of Mexico's foreign relations with Cuba and the United States in the decade following the Cuban Revolution--why did a government that cooperated with the CIA and practiced conservative domestic policies defend Castro's communist regime? It uses new sources to prove that historians' previous focus on the foreign and ideological influences on Mexico's relations with Cuba was misplaced, and that the most important factor was fear of the domestic Left. It argues that Mexican leaders capitalized upon their country's "special relationship" with Castro as part of their efforts to maintain control over restive leftist sectors of the Mexican population. This project uses new sources to illuminate how perceptions of threat shaped Mexico's foreign and domestic politics. In 2002, the Mexican government declassified the records of the two most important intelligence organizations--the Department of Federal Security and the Department of Political and Social Investigations. The files contain the information that Mexico's presidents received about potential dangers to their regime. They reveal that Mexican leaders overestimated the centralization, organization, and coordination of leftist groups, and in so doing gave them more influence over policy than their actual numbers or resources logically should have afforded. The dissertation uses the concept of threat perception as an analytic and organizational tool. Each chapter considers a different potential source of danger to the Mexican regime in the context of the Cold War and the country's relations with Cuba. For the sake of clarity, it breaks the threats into the categories of individual, national, and international, even though these subjective categories may blend into one another throughout the course of the analysis. The first chapter begins with an individual threat: Lázaro Cárdenas, a powerful former president who became one of Fidel Castro's most dedicated supporters. The next three chapters analyze threats on the national level by looking at the domestic groups that Mexican leaders perceived to be the greatest dangers to their regime. The final two chapters move to the international level and examine the roles of Cuba and the United States. As a whole, this study of the connections between Mexico's foreign and domestic politics makes a significant and timely contribution to the historiographies of modern Mexico, U.S.-Latin American relations, and the Cold War. / text
