The purpose of this essay is to study two film adaptations of the original Planet of the Apes novel and see what kind of relationship the two adaptations have with each other. The main question is if the secondary film adaptation is restricted by the primary and if the relationships between these two are as two separate adaptations or as a remake of an adaptation. What the results of the study show is that the secondary adaptation can not be seen as a remake even though it gets some of its inspiration from both the original story as well as the primary adaptation. The secondary adaptation is, however, restricted in what it can adapt due to the primary adaptation having the first pick, at least if the secondary adaptation wishes to be a whole new adaptation and not a remake of the primary. The study shows also that the fidelity in the secondary adaptation is not necessarily to either the original or the primary but to the knowledge the audience has about the Planet of the Apes universe which they have gathered from all of the important versions of the story. The essay also states that there is yet much to learn about the relationship between secondary and primary film adaptations which means that the field is still in need of exploration.

Assim, a presente dissertação busca pontuar e analisar todas as implicações que antecedem sua viagem de nove dias ao Brasil, como observador político, bem como abrange todos os fatos decorrentes de sua estada, os quais englobam a redação de seu relatório "Brazil and Vargas", além do início de sua amizade com Candido Portinari; a dissertação igualmente privilegia as conseqüências da viagem de Rockwell Kent ao Brasil, sempre partindo da análise dos documentos obtidos junto ao Smithsonian Institution, em Washington e ao Projeto Portinari, no Rio de Janeiro. Desse modo, tem-se um amplo campo de trabalho no qual é possível perceber as implicações de sua viagem dentro de um espectro mais amplo, envolvendo Brasil e Estados Unidos dentro do panorama intelectual, econômico, político e cultural de 1937 a 1955. / Abstract: Rockwell Kent's trip to Brazil in November, 1937, raises a series of new issues both in Brazil and the United States. Thus, this thesis aims at pointing out and analyzing all the implications preceding his nine-day trip to Brazil, as a political observer; besides, it also includes all the facts stemming from his stay, such as the making of his "Brazil and Vargas" report and the beginning of his friendship with Candido Portinari. Furthermore, this thesis studies the consequences of Rockwell Kent's trip to Brazil, based on the analysis of the documents obtained from the Smithsonian Institution, in Washington D.C, and the Portinari Project, in Rio de Janeiro. Therefore, this thesis presents a huge field of study in which it is possible to perceive the implications of such a trip within a larger scope, involving Brazil and the United States in the intellectual, economic, political and cultural panorama from 1937 to 1955. / Mestrado / Historia da Arte / Mestre em História da Arte

Following his election to the office of President of the United States, in 1932, Franklin D. Roosevelt began his attempt to overcome the economic difficulties caused by the depression of 1929. His program for recovery included the enactment by Congress of many new pieces of legistlation. A great amount of this legislation was ruled out by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional. Subsequently, the President on February 5, 1937, presented a proposal to alter the court system of the United States. This proposal brought forth a surge of public opinion throughout the nation. Sharp divisions of opinion occurred concerning the merits of the President's suggested reform The purpose of this study to dermine, (1) the reactions of the electorate to the proposal; (2) the reactions of the various agencies of public opinion; (3) wheather these agency reactions were cuases or effects of public feeling; (4) the importance of public opinion in such a matter.

This thesis involves the creation of a historically-themed museum element. The element, titled “Improving Community,” is a virtual interactive game that allows players to explore certain realities of colonial American life. Within the game, players are presented with a number of civic-related issues that existed throughout the eighteenth century, and they are then given options to improve the situation. Interactivity and immersion are key features of the game, and they have been incorporated so that players may engage with the past and assume a more active role in the process of historical reconstruction. Research for the games draws mostly upon historical primary sources, including firsthand accounts, letters, diaries, periodicals, pamphlets, meeting minutes, and legal documents. In addition, the process of developing the games was informed by a number of secondary source works, and therefore this study inspects the ways in which “Improving Community” fits within the ongoing scholarly debates. Ultimately this project contributes to the field of public history by demonstrating the usefulness of games as a tool for historical exhibition. “Improving Community” is both entertaining and educational, and as a result, the game provides individuals with a unique outlet for exploring and experiencing the past.

This dissertation makes the argument that the Franklin Roosevelt administration (1933-1945) embarked upon a global hegemonic project to transform the United States into a world empire and bring about the "New World Order." In addition, the expansion of U.S. commercial and military air routes was seen as instrumental to the realization of this project.

Pedro II. During the period in which he was in charge of that institution, Ramiz Galvão planned to make that space the library of the Brazilian nation. That meant creating an institution whose functions were to safeguard the Brazilian documentary heritage, make it available to specialized groups, and encourage studies on the history and geography of the country. The goal was to make the National Library a place of reference, consonant with their European counterparts and in dialogue with the national literate media. In this context, Galvão had a fundamental role in the creation of a network of sociability that linked him to scholars, booksellers, bibliophiles and librarians from different parts of Brazil, America and Europe. This doctoral dissertation evaluates the Ramiz Galvão’s proposal to recast the National Library, trying to associate it with a larger project of construction of the Brazilian nation. For this, three elements considered as the main factors in the process of building a national Library were investigated: 1) the creation of a service routine, which was able to transform a small space with books of the former Royal Library into the most important library in Brazil; 2) the effort of acquiring and selecting a Brazilian documentary heritage, and making it available in publications, such as the Anais da Biblioteca Nacional (Proceedings of the National Library) and the Catálogo da Exposição de História do Brasil (Catalog of the Exhibition of History of Brazil), which are two of his most important works as a director; and 3) the role of Ramiz Galvão as a cultural mediator in the Brazilian literate environment of the late nineteenth century. / Em 1870, o jovem e praticamente desconhecido Benjamin Franklin Ramiz Galvão foi nomeado para ocupar o cargo de diretor da Biblioteca Nacional, posto do qual saiu doze anos depois, já como intelectual consagrado, para assumir a função de tutor dos netos de D. Pedro II. Durante o período em que esteve à frente desta instituição, Ramiz Galvão projetou fazer daquele espaço a biblioteca da nação brasileira. Isso significava construir uma instituição cuja função fosse salvaguardar o patrimônio documental brasileiro, torná-lo disponível a um público especializado e estimular estudos sobre a história e a geografia do país. O objetivo era fazer da Biblioteca Nacional um lugar de referência, sintonizada com suas congêneres europeias e em diálogo com os meios letrados nacionais. Nesse sentido, a atuação de Galvão foi fundamental para a construção de uma rede de sociabilidade que o ligava a estudiosos, livreiros, bibliófilos e bibliotecários de diversos lugares do Brasil, da América e da Europa. Esta tese analisa a proposta de reformulação da Biblioteca Nacional empreendida por Ramiz Galvão, buscando associá-la a um projeto maior de construção da nação brasileira. Para isso, investigaremos três elementos que consideramos principais desse trabalho de edificação de uma Biblioteca nacional: 1) a construção de uma rotina de serviços, que foi capaz de transformar o pequeno espaço com livros da antiga Biblioteca Real na mais importante biblioteca do Brasil; 2) o esforço de aquisição e de seleção de um patrimônio documental brasileiro e sua divulgação em publicações como os Anais da Biblioteca Nacional e o Catálogo da Exposição de História do Brasil, dois de seus mais importantes empreendimentos como diretor; 3) a atuação de Ramiz Galvão como mediador cultural no ambiente letrado brasileiro do final do século XIX.
