This thesis investigates the development of commercial leisure in a northern community, Halifax, over a period of 200 years. It examines a range of leisure pursuits including the public house, theatre and sports and traces their development during a period of population growth and industrialization which came to be based increasingly around the factory. It analyses whether Halifax was typical in the way commercial leisure developed or whether particular local conditions influenced the development of commercial leisure. During the period, Halifax, an ancient town, developed from an important centre of the textile trade in England into a classic Victorian mill town supporting a broad base of industries. Leisure developed from a leisure culture based around traditional holidays and pastimes to a highly commercialized leisure experience increasingly provided by regional and national companies and a sporting calendar that included structured leagues with professional clubs and games played seasonally.

Orientador: Marcelo Magalhães Bulhões / Resumo: Antonio Callado é reconhecidamente um dos maiores escritores brasileiros do século XX, autor de Quarup (1967) e Reflexos do Baile (1976), obras cuja elaboração narrativa são indissociáveis do contexto da ditadura militar no Brasil. Mas, o autor, declaradamente de esquerda, também foi jornalista atuante nas redações do país. Entre as décadas de 1940 e 1960, trabalhou no Correio da Manhã e no Jornal do Brasil, escreveu grandes reportagens - que até hoje são reeditadas em livros - e publicou artigos que fizeram com que os militares o levassem para a prisão mais de uma vez. Ainda assim, há uma lacuna nos estudos de jornalismo sobre autor. Este trabalho é uma proposta de compreensão sobre a identidade de Callado como jornalista e sobre como sua produção jornalística dialogou com o espírito de resistência de sua época. Para isso, nos dedicamos ao estudo contextual e analítico de todas as reportagens de Callado publicadas em livro: Esqueleto na Lagoa Verde (1953), Os Industriais da Seca e os Galileus de Pernambuco (1959), Revolução piloto em Pernambuco (1963) e Vietnã do Norte: o outro lado da guerra (1968), Passaporte sem Carimbo (1978) e Entre Deus e a Vasilha (1984). A tese está fundamentada na identificação e na análise das estratégias discursivas das narrativas, principalmente na assunção da subjetividade, autorreferencialidade e literariedade. Sobretudo, a tese se dedica a averiguar como tais estratégias estão em plena associação com a militância de um repórter que sonhava com...

However, the author, reportedly leftist, was also a journalist in the country's newsrooms. Between the 1940s and 1960s, he worked at Correio da Manhã and the Jornal do Brasil, wrote large reports - which are still being reissued in books - and published articles that led the military to take him to prison more than once. Still, there is a gap in author journalism studies. This work is a proposal of understanding about the identity of Callado as a journalist and about how his journalistic production dialogues with the spirit of resistance of his time. For that, we are dedicated to the contextual and analytical study of all Callado’s reports published in book: Esqueleto na Lagoa Verde (1953), Os Industriais da Seca e os Galileus de Pernambuco (1959), Revolução piloto em Pernambuco (1963) e Vietnã do Norte: o outro lado da guerra (1968), Passaporte sem Carimbo (1978) e Entre Deus e a Vasilha (1984). The thesis is based on the identification and analysis of the discursive strategies of the narratives, mainly in the assumption of subjectivity, selfreferentiality and literacy. Above all, the thesis focuses on how such strategies are in full association with the militancy of a reporter who dreamed of a country that, even today, is f...

Our approach is through the work we developed at the State Commission of Truth and Memory Preservation of Paraiba (CEVPM/PB), through the taking of testimony of former rural workers, leaders of the movement and family members persecuted by the civil-military regime. Through the testmony of the latter, we also gave special attention to the effects of the coup and the civil-military regime for some persecuted politicians linked to the peasant leagues and their families. In most of the analyzed interviews, however, we highlight the struggles and battles fought by organized rural workers and landowners and their agents. Configuring antagonistic social forces, we also analyze how the power relations were given, noting that there was not an absolute domination of the ones on top towards the ones from below. Organized in Peasant Leagues, the peasants amounted forces that reacted in relatively balanced proportions to the arbitrariness of large landowners. This encounter often resulted in bloody battles that ended with casualties on both sides. It was in the light of historiographical aspects of social history, particularly the English tradition, and the New Political History, which we approach our object of study by understanding that power relations also permeate social dynamics. / Este trabalho busca contribuir com a historiografia referente às Ligas Camponesas da Paraíba, sobretudo ao resgatar essa história através das memórias dos de baixo. As abordamos por intermédio do trabalho que desenvolvemos na Comissão Estadual da Verdade e da Preservação da Memória na Paraíba (CEVPM/PB), mediante a colheita de depoimentos de antigos trabalhadores rurais, de lideranças do movimento e de familiares de perseguidos pelo regime civil-militar. Através dos depoimentos destes últimos, também tivemos especial atenção aos efeitos do golpe e do regime civil-militar para alguns perseguidos políticos vinculados às Ligas Camponesas e suas respectivas famílias. Na maior parte dos depoimentos analisados, entretanto, demos destaque às lutas e embates travados por trabalhadores rurais organizados e latifundiários e seus prepostos. Configurando forças sociais antagônicas, analisamos também a forma como se davam as relações de poder, observando que não havia uma dominação absoluta dos de cima em relação aos de baixo. Organizados em Ligas Camponesas, os camponeses somavam forças que reagiam em proporções relativamente equilibradas às arbitrariedades dos grandes proprietários de terra. Desse embate resultavam, não raro, lutas sangrentas que terminavam com baixas dos dois lados. Foi à luz das vertentes historiográficas da História Social, em especial a tradição inglesa, e da Nova História Política que abordamos nosso objeto de estudo, por compreendermos que a dinâmica social é também permeada por relações de poder.

This thesis deals with the twentieth century Brazilian writer Antônio Callado and his novels written during the Brazilian dictatorship. The aim of this work is to bring the author's literary work, which has not been translated into Czech yet, closer to the Czech reader. Based on the historical context of the Brazilian military dictatorship in 1964-1985, we deal with the urban and rural left-wing resistance, which was quickly suppressed. Further, we focus on how dictatorship and censorship have influenced artistic creation. Subsequently, we concentrate on the author's life and the analysis of three selected works written and published during the dictatorship. The analysis seeks to find out how Callado represented the Brazilian leftist movements in these three novels: Kuarup (Quarup, 1967), Reflections of the Ball (Reflexos do Baile, 1976), Don Juan's Bar (Bar Don Juan, 1971).

Already regarded as one of the top teams in Negro League baseball, the Kansas City Monarchs became known as a powerhouse unit in the 1930s and 40s. They rolled into towns with lights, amazing athletes, and competitive play. They won championship after championship during these years as Kansas City baseball fans strongly supported them. As they became an integral part of the city, the Monarchs' success, open-seating policy, and jazzy home openers fostered a large following of mixed-race fans. The local black newspaper, the Kansas City Call, held them up on a pedestal, while sportswriters for the mainstream Kansas City Star/Times downplayed the Monarchs' accomplishments and influence in the community. This thesis focuses on the relationship the Call had with the best team in black baseball through the context of its treatment of games, players, league officials, and team owners, as well as other patterns and tactics. Analysis of the Star/Times coverage is also considered to show variances in coverage between one city's race-divided newspapers. Negro League baseball and the African American newspapers that covered the teams grew out of and illustrated the segregation laws and prejudices feelings that existed in the United States during most of the twentieth century. Over time, especially when the sports world moved into the post-integration period, the Call's bolstering of the Monarchs deteriorated as the paper's promotion of democracy steered its sportswriters away from a baseball organization that symbolized segregation. The different types of coverage by the Call throughout the twenty-year study can be described as all-out promotion, balance, and abandonment. In the 1950s nostalgia and conflict existed, as the Call's sportswriters became torn on how to cover a team that was once the pride of the black community, but now represented inequality. In an attempt to remedy this torment, the Call tried to convince black baseball officials to remove the “Negro League” stigma by signing players of all races in order to mirror the more democratic Major Leagues. The white press, meanwhile, ignored the bigger issues of black baseball as one Negro League team after another died in the 1950s. The Star/Times peripheral coverage of the Monarchs provides context to the social issues and discriminatory practices at play in Missouri. As this thesis outlines the coverage of the Monarchs through the Black and White newspapers of Kansas City, previous research is substantiated and challenged to provide a fuller account of Jim Crow's effects.
