This thesis addresses the unresolved question of whether industrialisation helps or hinders progress in the peripheral regions of developing economies. Devon is seen as a 'sample of space' within which the breaking down of regional identities by changes in the Victorian transport infrastructure can be monitored. As the county's fortunes were thus primarily dependent upon the course of development in the wider national economy the survey of changes in economic activity within Devon is concerned mainly with relating internal adjustments to external pressures and opportunities. The balance of these appears to have resulted in a demand 'leakage* from the county's economy, and a net outwards flow of migrants, for there was a chronic deficit in Devon's balance of payments with the rest of Britain. This was probably exacerbated by an outflow of capital. But the relative contraction of employment within the county took a selective form in accordance with the developing specialisation of activity across the' national economic space. On the evidence of comparative wages in agriculture it seems that direct external demand was of central importance to the elimination of spatial differentials after 1870. But for the county as a whole there was no narrowing of the large shortfall between local wages and the national average before 1914. Sectors that benefited from external demand were few in number and their linkages with the rest of Devon's economy were too weak to stimulate general growth in the county, and the relatively unchanging distribution of demand throughout the nation that this refle-cted helped to maintain residual regional barriers to internal adjustment. The British economy was mature enough to pull the least developed regions away from pre-industrial levels of poverty but there was no inherent tendency to eliminate the broad tail which lagged behind the cutting edge of industrialisation.

Esta dissertação apresenta um estudo sobre a história da Federação das Indústrias do Estado de São Paulo FIESP desde sua formação em 1928, até o final do governo autoritário em 1985. Enfoca a história da industrialização brasileira, enfatizando a concentração industrial no estado de São Paulo, de seu auge até o início do processo de desconcentração industrial no estado e de colapso do modelo Desenvolvimentista. O governo do General João Batista Figueiredo (1979-1985), é o palco principal de análise sobre a crise do modelo econômico e de importantes mudanças na postura das lideranças do empresariado industrial paulista. A FIESP, sob a gestão de Luís Eulálio Bueno Vidigal Filho, deixa de ser colaboradora e co-participante da elaboração e implantação de políticas econômicas do Governo Federal, tornando-se crítica e até de opositora ao governo e mesmo ao sistema autoritário propriamente dito, defendendo a Abertura e a Redemocratização. / This masters degree dissertation presents a study about the history of the Federação das Indústrias do Estado de São Paulo FIESP since its rise in 1928 until the end of the authoritarian government by 1985. It focus the history of the Brazilian industrialization, empathizing the industry concentration in the state of São Paulo, from its height until the beginning of the industry decentralization process in the state and the collapse of the Desenvolvimentista model. The government of General Joao Batista Figueiredo (1979-1985), is the main scenary of the analysis about the economic model and about important changes in leadership attitude of the industrial entrepreneur community from São Paulo state. FIESP, under Luis Eulálio Bueno Vidigal Filho management, stops being collaborative and co-participative in the elaboration and implementation of the economic politics of Federal Government, becoming critic and opposite to the government and also to the authoritarian government itself, defending the Abertura and the Re-democratization .

Im letzten Drittel des 19. Jahrhunderts konnte Chemnitz seine Stellung als führende Industriestadt in Sachsen festigen und weiter ausbauen. Zu den bisher bestehenden Zweigen - Maschinenbau und Textilindustrie -, die ständig ihr Profil erweiterten (Maschinen für Nahrungs- und Genussmittel, Trikotagen) kamen weitere hinzu, die bald überregionale Bedeutung erlangten: u.a. Chemische Industrie, Fahrzeugbau und Büromaschinenbau. In Chemnitz wurde zwischen 1871 und 1914, außer Schiffen und Waffen, nahezu alles produziert, wozu damals die Industrie in der Lage war.

O presente trabalho busca realizar uma investigação acerca das narrativas históricas que o designer gráfico Alexandre Wollner montou sobre o desenvolvimento da própria profissão no Brasil, enfocando as formas pelas quais seu discurso aponta relações entre o design (com maior ênfase do design gráfico) e as artes visuais, o desenvolvimento industrial e noções sobre tecnologia. Primeiramente, a fundamentação teórica buscou diálogos com historiadores do design, com Mikhail Bakhtin, especialmente seus conceitos sobre “ideologia” e “discurso”, e a teoria de autonomia de Campo de Pierre Bordieu aplicada na prática artística. Em seguida, apresenta-se a trajetória de Wollner, relacionando-a com os momentos de desenvolvimento industrial do Brasil e, por fim, abordam-se três de seus textos de caráter histórico, escritos em momentos distintos (1964; 1983; 1998), nos quais o autor analisado buscou apontar as origens, eventos e nomes marcantes da profissão. No decorrer do trabalho, aponta-se a importância do contato de Wollner com as ideologias modernistas europeias de matriz abstrata e racionalistada Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm (HfG Ulm), escola alemã de design da cidade de Ulm, na década de 1950. Tal discurso modernista entendia a prática do design como um método de caráter científico, diferenciando-se assim de práticas artísticas mais recorrentes em alguns ambientes produtivos. Wollner buscou aplicar esses ideais em sua prática profissional, sendo a formação do escritório paulista forminform, em 1958, uma das primeiras expressões de tal postura, e na sua prática acadêmica, tendo auxiliado na formação da Escola Superior de Desenho Industrial (ESDI), no Rio de Janeiro, em 1963. Tais ideais modernistas condiziam com os momentos de desenvolvimento industrial brasileirodo governo de Juscelino Kubitschek (1956–1961) e do “Milagre Econômico” do governo militar brasileiro (1968–1973). Wollner argumentava acerca da necessidade do desenvolvimento design nacional como um diferencial produtivo e tecnológico que auxiliaria o crescimento da indústria nacional, baseado na concepção no modelo projetual alemão de Ulm. Defende-se que a trajetória profissional e intelectual de Alexandre Wollner, em seus esforços de pensar uma história do design brasileiro através da escolha de pioneiros da profissão, pautou-se num “modelo ideal” de design, deixando de lado experiências modernistas da década de 1950. Tal postura refletiria uma busca pela validação da própria profissão que surgia de forma mais pontual no meio produtivo brasileiro, buscando a criação de um espaço de diferenciação para com práticas anteriormente estabelecidas, geralmente ligadas àquelas de artistas gráficos. / This work aims to investigate the historical narratives in which the graphic designer Alexandre Wollner assembled about the development of its own profession in Brazil, focusing the ways in which his discourse points relations among design (with greater emphasis in graphic design) and visual arts, the industrial development and notions about technology. Firstly, the theoretical setup searched for dialogues with design historians, with Mikhail Bakhtin, specially his concepts about “ideology” and “discourse’, and the theory of Field Autonomy by Pierre Bourdieu applied in the artistic practice. Following, the relation between Wollner’s own journey and the Brazilian industrial development is shown, and, at last, three of his historical texts are studied, which are written in different moments (1964; 1983; 1998), being those in which the analyzed author wished to point out the origens, events and names that are more remarkable. Throughout the work, it is pointed the importance of Wollner’s contact with the modernist european ideologies that share an abstract and rationalist matrix found at Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm (HfG Ulm), the german design school from the city of Ulm, in the 1950s. Such modernist discourse understood the practice of design as a method with scientific character, being then different of some other more recurring artistic professional practices in some productive sectors. Wollner aimed to apply such ideals in his professional practice, being the foundation of the paulista office forminform, in 1958, one of his first expressions of such posture, and in his academic practice, helping the foundation of the Escola Superior de Desenho Industrial (ESDI), in Rio de Janeiro, in 1963. Such modernist ideals went along with moments of the Brazilian industrial development during the government of Juscelino Kubitschek (1956–1961) and the “Economical Miracle” from the military government (1968–1973). Wollner argued about the need for the development of national design as a technological and productive differential that would help the growth of national industry, based on Ulm’s project model concept. It is defended that Wollner’s professional and intelectual path, in his efforts of thinking a history of Brazilian design through the choice of pioneers in the area, was founded on an “ideal model” of design, leaving aside the modernist experiences from the 1950s. Such posture would indicate a search for validation of his own profession that was beginning to become more evident in Brazilian productive means, aiming the creation of a differential space in comparison with pre-established practices, usually link to graphic artists from the time.

Anglais:<p>Through a comparative examination of Montreal and Brussels, this thesis considers the way city dwellers shaped the social and cultural significance of urban space in terms of sensorial experiences and bodily practices. The analysis is based primarily on qualitative sources relating to urban life and to the relationship with the city environment during the period 1880-1914, a time when cities underwent intense transformations associated with modernity and industrialisation. The discourses and representations examined in this study were produced by a wide range of urban actors, including elected officials and municipal bureaucrats, industrialists, urban reformers, factory and housing inspectors, workers, doctors, hygienists, writers, artists and ordinary citizens.<p><p>This was a period in which the city was increasingly conceptualised as a total, organic object. Consequently, the thesis first examines representations, both critical and celebratory, of these cities in their entirety, showing how the discourse about urban space was constructed through experiences with, and perceptions of, its materiality. The subsequent chapters examine, in turn, spaces of industrial production, homes and the streets. In each of these spaces, representations of these changing environments were produced in marked reference to the body and the senses. In a time marked by the rise of scientific and rational thought, the sources consulted demonstrate the centrality of personal and subjective experiences in the construction of understandings of the city. Analysing these specific milieus also affords the opportunity to consider the cultural significance of the body, as well as its place in the social tensions that characterised the period.<p><p>The comparative approach through which these cities are analysed illuminates the development of similar processes in analogous, yet discrete, contexts. In this way, certain specificities of Brussels and Montreal, as well the commonalities they shared, are brought to light. The principal objective of this bipartite perspective, however, is to demonstrate, in reference to two local examples, how urban dwellers interiorised vast processes of global transformation by means of their bodies, the spaces through which they moved on a daily basis, as well as their immediate socio-cultural context.<p><p>*********<p><p>Français:<p>Se penchant sur les cas de Montréal et de Bruxelles en comparaison, cette thèse examine la façon dont, à travers la perception sensorielle et les pratiques corporelles des citadins, la signification sociale et culturelle de l’espace urbain se construit. L’analyse se base principalement sur des sources discursives témoignant de la vie urbaine et du rapport à l’espace d’une multitude d’acteurs durant la période 1880-1914, traversée par d’intenses transformations liées à la modernité et à l’industrialisation. Les discours émanant des élus et des fonctionnaires municipaux, des industriels, des réformateurs urbains, des inspecteurs d’usines et de logements, des ouvriers, des médecins, des hygiénistes, des écrivains, des artistes et de simples citoyens ont été consultés. <p><p>S’agissant d’une époque où la ville est de plus en plus conceptualisée dans sa totalité, la thèse aborde, dans un premier temps, les discours, à la fois critiques et élogieux, concernant la ville industrielle dans son ensemble, en montrant comment ceux-ci sont construits par rapport à l’expérience et aux perceptions de la matérialité urbaine. Puis, dans les chapitres subséquents, les lieux de production industrielle, le logement et les rues sont examinés successivement. Dans chacun de ces types d’espace, les discours faisant état de l’intensification des transformations à l’environnement se déclinent, de façon prononcée, en référence au corps et aux sens. Ils témoignent de la place prépondérante des expériences personnelles et subjectives dans la construction du rapport à l’espace urbain, et ce à une époque marquée par la montée de la pensée scientifique et rationnelle. L’analyse de ces milieux permet aussi de mettre en relief la façon dont se construit la signification culturelle du corps, ainsi que la place de celui-ci dans l’évolution des tensions sociales caractéristiques de l’époque. <p><p>À travers une approche comparative, l’étude de ces deux villes permet d’examiner l’évolution de processus similaires dans deux contextes analogues, mais distincts. Ainsi est-il possible de déceler certaines spécificités de Bruxelles et de Montréal, de même que des traits communs aux deux villes. Cependant, l’apport principal de cette perspective croisée est de montrer, à la lumière de deux exemples locaux, la manière dont les citadins intériorisent de vastes processus globaux de transformation par le biais de leur corps, des espaces qu’ils fréquentent quotidiennement, et de leur contexte socioculturel immédiat. <p> / Doctorat en Histoire, art et archéologie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
