O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar o pensamento econômico de José da Silva Lisboa, Visconde de Cairú, bem como sua relação com os acontecimentos que eclodiram por ocasião da chegada da Família Real ao Brasil, a saber a abertura dos portos brasileiros ao comércio franco e o fim da proibição do estabelecimento de fábricas e manufaturas no país. Procura reconstruir, através da análise da vida e escritos de Cairú e da produção historiográfica pertinente, a conjuntura relativa a estes dois acontecimentos. / The present research aims to exam José da Silva Lisboas and Visconde de Cairús economic way of thinking, as well as its relation with happenings caused by the arrival of the Portuguese Royal Family to Brazil: the opening of brazilian harbours to french trade and the end of prohibition to factory settlements and manufacturing industry at this country. It also aims to reconstruct through writings, life analysis and pertinent historiography productions the conjuncture related to these two events.

The following essays examine the nature of product co-production patterns in India—what factors cause these patterns to emerge, and why they are valuable to study. The first chapter establishes a motivation. It takes a measure of product co-production established in the literature—the “proximity” matrix of Hidalgo et al. (2007)—and shows that this measure is an excellent predictor of new product additions by firms and states, even controlling for other potentially relevant explanatory variables. The following chapter employs a reduced-form approach with regression analysis to uncover the factors that could be giving rise to these patterns of co-production. Using this approach, demand complementarities and patterns of input similarity seem to have the most explanatory power for the observed patterns. The final chapter improves the estimation by incorporating product paths and firm profitability into a structural model. We adapt the gravity model of Morales et al. (2015) to our setting to identify costs associated with adding new products based on characteristics of the relationship between the firm and its potential products. In the model, firms seek to expand their product scope into the most profitable products, where this profit is diminished by “distance” they would have to traverse through a characteristic space. Using the moment inequalities method of Pakes et al. (forthcoming), we are able to estimate which dimensions in that space have the greatest effect on firm profits. We find the physical distance to the nearest location of production had the greatest impact, followed by input similarity between their products and potential products.

Esta tese examina o contexto e os sentidos políticos da implementação de um programa público cultural criado em 2004 como fruto de uma parceria entre a Secretaria Estadual de Cultura (SEC) do estado de São Paulo e o Banco Interamericano de Desenvolvimento (BID): o Programa Fábricas de Cultura. A pesquisa procura demonstrar de que maneira a política pública dirigida para a juventude pobre das periferias pôde, desde sua concepção, operar enquanto uma \'tecnologia social de pacificação\', com vistas a incrementar mecanismos de controle e antecipar-se a possíveis conflitos e insurgências dessas populações territorializadas. A análise é feita à luz de um processo de luta que aprendizes e arte-educadores vinculados às Fábricas de Cultura travaram em 2016, no curso da pesquisa, contra as diretrizes e os gestores da Organização Social responsável pela administração de cinco das dez unidades do programa. Dessa maneira, foi possível apreender as características e contradições do programa dentro de um quadro de modificações por que forçosamente passou aquilo que entendemos ser uma forma específica de gerenciamento dos conflitos de classe, a que chamamos de \"consenso à base da pacificação dos conflitos sociais\", que se consolidara na últimas décadas. Em torno de uma coalizão que unia organismos multilaterais, Estados e organizações da sociedade civil, esse consenso efetivou-se por meio de um conjunto de técnicas de gestão que acabou por embaralhar as diferenças entre direita e esquerda, difundindo-se por estratégias voltadas para \"a redução da pobreza\", \"segurança\", \"oportunidades\" e \"inclusão social\". Nesse sentido, o Programa Fábricas de Cultura se apresenta como resultado desse processo que transfigurou setores de classe em públicosalvo, esquadrinhados pelas políticas sociais focalizadas. A investigação observa, no entanto, que a efetividade de tal consenso pacificador sempre estivera lastreada por tecnologias de guerra, com as quais mantém relação de alternância e complementariedade. A tese então argumenta que a aposta na formação cultural, como maneira de apassivar a juventude e reforçar identidades culturais territorializadas, alimentou, em seu subterrâneo, uma rebelião que se voltou contra esse projeto, demonstrando seus limites e forçando um ponto de inflexão que parece apontar para a crise da tecnologia social de pacificação. / This thesis examines the context and political meanings of the implementation of a public cultural program created in 2004 as a result of a partnership between the State Secretariat of Culture (SEC) of the state of São Paulo and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB): Factories of Culture Program. The research seeks to demonstrate in which ways the public policy directed at the poor youth of the peripheries operated, from its conception, as a \'social technology for pacification\', designed to increase mechanisms of control and anticipate possible conflicts and insurgencies arising from this population. In the course of research, apprentices and art educators from the Factories of Culture took part on a struggle against the guidelines and managers of the (private) Social Organization responsible for five out of the ten units of the program. This analysis is made in light of this conflict. In this way, it was possible to apprehend the characteristics and contradictions of the program within a framework of modifications it was forced to go through. This policy is here considered to be a specific form of management of class conflicts consolidated in the last decades, which we call \"consensus based on the pacification of social conflicts\". Around a coalition that united multilateral organizations, states and civil society organizations, this consensus was achieved through a set of management techniques that shuffled the differences between right and left, and spread through strategies aimed at \"poverty reduction\", \"security\", \"opportunities\" and \"social inclusion\". In this sense, the Factories of Culture Program presents itself as a result of a process that has transfigured class sectors into target audiences, scrutinized by focused social policies. The research, however, observes that the effectiveness of such a pacifying consensus had always been supported by war technologies, with which it maintains a conection of alternation and complementarity. The thesis then argues that the commitment to cultural formation, as a way to pacificate the youth and reinforce territorialized cultural identities, helped to feed a rebellion that turned against the project, demonstrating its limits and forcing a inflection point that seems to indicate a crisis of the social technology for pacification.

Sua tradição, a partir de seu modo de fazer foi tombada como patrimônio imaterial brasileiro, tamanha é sua importância como valor cultural de um povo. Tornou-se, então, um desafio investigar suas origens histórica e geográfica, bem como seu caráter identitário com as regiões queijeiras, onde é produzido há cerca de três séculos. A esta pesquisa interessa contribuir para o conhecimento e estudos sobre o queijo e notadamente sobre o Queijo Minas Artesanal, a partir da experiência e herança cultural do produtor queijeiro artesanal, salientando para as mudanças ocorridas e adquiridas ao longo dos anos, bem como as exigências que a sociedade atual exige, sem que se perca as tradicionais propriedades organolépticas que definem a iguaria. Para tanto foi realizado um grande trabalho de exploração geográfica e histórica com o fito de conhecer, compreender e descrever o fascinante mundo dos queijos, que se estende da pré história, aos dias atuais, criando assim, um arcabouço que permitisse desvendar todo o universo da produção queijeira, ao qual o Queijo Minas Artesanal se insere como produto tradicional. Assim, o estudo se complementa com a realização de uma pesquisa com os produtores queijeiros, por meio da aplicação de questionários, adotando-se uma abordagem qualitativa com o suporte da Geografia humanista, que se interessa pela organização do espaço e da sociedade, na perspectiva das interações com o ambiente e a cultura, cujo universo pode, inclusive, apontar para uma Geografia do sabor. Na perspectiva final é constatada a verdadeira origem do Queijo Minas Artesanal, no arquipélago de Açores, bem como, através da percepção e experiência ...

Its consumption is a habit that transcends the borders of Minas Gerais state. This cheese making tradition was declared a Brazilian intangible heritage, such is its cultural importance for its people. It has become a challenge to investigate its historical and geographical origins, as well as its identitary character with the dairy regions where it has been produced for about three centuries. We seek to contribute to the knowledge and studies about the traditional Minas Cheese based on the experiences and heritages of the cheesemakers, pointing the changes undergone and acquired over the years, and the requirements imposed by modern society, without losing its traditional organoleptic properties that define the delicacy. To do so a great historical and geographical exploration was undertaken with the aim to know, understand and describe the fascinating world of cheeses, extending from pre-historical times to the present day, thus creating a framework that allows the unveiling of the entire cheese production universe, to which the traditional Minas Cheese belong as a traditional product. The study is complemented by a series of surveys conducted with cheesemakers, with the help of questionnaires, adopting a qualitative approach with the support of Humanistic Geography, which is concerned with the organization of space and society, from the perspective of the interactions between the environment and culture, whose universe can even point to a Geography of flavor. In the end, the true origins of the traditional Minas Cheese are uncovered, in the Azores archipelago. Through the perceptions and experiences of cheesemakers...

This thesis aims an analysis of early Republican state factory settlements, in terms of their concern for workers&amp / #8217 / health and welfare, within Turkish modernization in the largest extent. State factory settlements are evaluated in terms of their architectural program(s), in terms of concern about the physical and mental health requirements of their future workers at the stage of their foundation. Different types of buildings, like workers&amp / #8217 / houses, cafeterias, health centers and clubs, with respect to their organization and architectural function and also areas spared for sports and recreation are examined in EskiSehir Sugar Factory, as an exemplary case of the state factories. The aim has been to reveal and evaluate the role of the social and architectural construction of state factories on workers&amp / #8217 / (and their families) health, as a part of the modernization project of Turkey.

Urban landscape offers an effective means to improve local capability for regional and global competitions. Along with the growing power of cultural economy, urban landscape with unique identity is increasingly repackaged as venue for cultural, particularly visual, consumption. At the same time, globally oriented cities compete with one another by promoting arts districts. In this context, arts districts have become a global urban phenomenon, contributing significantly to agglomerate cultural consumption activities. For the past two decades, arts districts in Beijing have gained rapid increase in terms of locations and spatial patterns. However ,they were called ‘artist villages’ which represent their undergrounded statues in the early 1990s.It was not until 2000s that some of them were soon commercialized with international galleries, trendy restaurants, caf?s and night clubs appearing on the scene. These underground settlements were eventually recognized as “creative clusters” by the government. Speculative developers have seized the opportunity to investigate arts districts along with the growing importance of cultural economy. Compared with western cases, Beijing’s arts districts merely took less than 20 years to shift from its isolated state to a tremendously popular one among local citizens and foreign visitors. Under this specific circumstance, the mechanism that contributes to such transformation has yet to be explored. Knowledge in this field in China is still on the stage of adopting the western model with a strong passion for explaining their economic capability. Whereas, in order to explore the relation between production landscape and consumption landscape, there is need to conduct a critical investigation for arts districts as a cultural spatial product in a social process. In light of the scenario given above, the study aims to examine the role of place identity in producing Beijing’s arts districts with special focus placed on their branding strategy. The first step of the study is to review the overall development process of Beijing’s arts districts to identify specific background conditions and analyze their development characteristics. In the given urban context, two case studies of Factory 798 and Jiuchang are carried out, which are designed to achieve the research objectives. The two cases display different patterns of development mode. However, according to the study findings, similarities between them can be explored. Based on the distinctive image that the cases create, the study arrives at a conclusion that the role of place identity is evident in forming the characteristic of the consumption pattern. The significance of place identity is recognized for lending its value to Beijing’s arts districts. Further, from production landscape to consumption landscape, the commodification process of arts districts is ineffective without the interplay of social actors. / published_or_final_version / Architecture / Master / Master of Philosophy

M. Tech. Architecture (Professional) / At present the South African olive oil industry is highly dependent on international imports due to local olive oil producers being unable to meet the local demand. The need for extra virgin olive oil has increased each year since people have become more aware of the health benefits of the product. This dissertation documents the design of an olive oil production facility near the foothills of the Draaiberg mountain range in the Touws River valley. Situated in close proximity to the Touws River railway station, the proposed architectural intervention responds to the current situation of neglected railway towns through the implementation of agri-tourism in the area. Public interest creates a platform for the market to educate the broader public about health benefits, which has caused a gradual, growth in the olive oil industry. This in turn shows that olive oil farms need a public interface, such as an information centre, a shop and tasting room to entice the consumer and create awareness of the quality level of olive oil South Africa has to offer. The aim of this thesis is to design an olive oil production facility, focusing on the production of extra virgin olive oil and relevant alternative products. The facility will not only function as an agricultural olive press for a private farming concern, but will also act as a community press facility to allow for continuous growth in the olive industry. One of the design objectives is to create a space for information and social interaction. The main building's size is informed by the size of the productive landscape and formulas were used to calculate the volume of oil produced per hectare. The production process can be followed by the visitor, giving rise to a linear building typology.

Traditional African dress is a wide subject area. This study focuses on the influences of art forms such as fashion design on contemporary architectural design. There is past historic influence that can be identified in creating an identity for contemporary clothing and architectural design. Studying South African traditional clothing and architecture will inform the design for the Durban Institute of Fashion. The historic focus on dress has been limited to that of traditional South African origins and evolutions. This study will seek to identify the traditional aesthetics that were used in the history of dress and architecture whose details will be studied to explore the identity that the aesthetics present. The South African cultures studied include the Zulu, Tswana, Ndebele, Swazi, South Sotho, Xhosa and Cape Dutch. African traditional architecture is the main focus of this project. This study will seek to determine the relevance of African methods for a new architectural approach in South African architecture. The study of traditional building decorations will show how the aesthetics are transferred to architecture to express identity. To support this, a study of building technology and culture has been included. A review of contemporary architecture in South Africa studies and observes how the inclusion of tradition African architecture and decoration can address current issues. The link between studying clothing fashion and this architectural project will be achieved by addressing traditional dress, contemporary fashion designs and African identity. This will include an understanding of traditional African influences on dress from historic times to the present day. The cross-cultural influence focuses only on the western immigrants’ influence. The aim of this document is to obtain from the above an informed approach to the design expressing African identity for the Durban Institute of Fashion. / Thesis (M.Arch.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2008.
