A primeira frente chegou ainda nos anos finais do século XIX, composta por sertanejos de cultura pastoril, de origem nordestina, os quais buscavam pastagens naturais para seus rebanhos. A segunda frente chegou ao final década de 1950, formada por empresários e corretores paulistas que atuavam no estado de Goiás. Finalmente, de 1964 até o final dos anos 1970, principalmente, chegou ao sul do Pará uma terceira frente, formada por várias empresas vindas, na sua maioria, da região centro-sul do Brasil e conhecidas, nos anos seguintes, como empresas agropecuárias que passaram a ser beneficiadas por projetos financiados pelo Governo Federal. Essas frentes, em diferentes épocas, relacionaram-se com os demais grupos da região, como os indígenas Kaiapós e os religiosos franceses dominicanos, que fundaram a primeira cidade da região, Conceição do Araguaia, ponto estratégico da missão catequética local. Para a realização das análises das distintas frentes e de suas relações com a região em diferentes contextos sociais e econômicos, usaram-se fontes documentais, narrativas orais e processos jurídicos os quais propiciaram reflexões sobre as diferentes estratégias de ocupação implementadas pelos grupos que ali se estabeleceram. Desse modo, as particularidades do processo ocupacional e suas consequências para a região incorporaram as mencionadas reflexões às diferentes fases estudas. Sendo assim, concluiu-se que nesses diferenciados processos de ocupação, a pecuária foi o fio condutor das principais frentes que adentraram o território do sul do Pará. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / This study reflects upon the different dynamics of territorial occupation that took place in some counties of the southern area of the Pará state, in three distinct fronts. The first front arrived in the last thyears of the 19 century and was composed by northeastern inlanders of pastoral culture who were looking for natural pastures for their cattle. The second front arrived at the end of the 1950’s and was formed by businessmen and brokers from São Paulo who worked in the state of Goiás. Finally, especially from 1964 until the end of the 1970’s, the third front arrived in the southern area of Pará, constituted by several companies coming mainly from Brazil’s south-central region, which got to be known, in the following years, as farming companies that benefited from projects financed by the Federal Government. These fronts, each in its own time, have related to other groups that already lived in that region, such as the Kayapó Indians and the French Dominican religious, who founded the first city of the region, Conceição do Araguaia, a strategic area of the local catechist mission. For the analysis of the different fronts and their relationship with the region in dissimilar social and economic contexts, documental sources, oral narratives and juridical processes were used so that reflections upon the different occupational strategies implemented by the groups that began to live there could be made. Thus, the particularities of the occupational process and their consequences to the region have incorporated the mentioned reflections to the distinct phases studied. This way, it has been concluded that in these distinguishable occupational processes, the husbandry was the responsible for the fronts to have entered Pará’s southern territory. ______________________________________________________________________________ RESUMÉ / La thèse s’intéresse aux dynamiques d’occupation territoriales, qui ont atteint les communes du èmeSud du Pará au cours de trois principales vagues successives. La première a eu lieu à la fin du XIX siècle, composée par des éleveurs sertanejos, de culture pastorale et d’origine nordestine, à la recherche de pâturages naturels de qualité pour leurs troupeaux. La deuxième vague a eu lieu à la fin des années50, formée par des entrepreneurs originaires de São Paulo installés dans l’Etat du Goiás. Enfin, de 1964 jusqu’à la fin des années 1970, est arrivée dans le Sud du Pará une troisième vague, avec des firmes originaires des régions Sud et Sudeste, bénéficiaires des programmes d’incitations et financements mis en place par l’Etat Fédéral. Ces trois vagues se sont insérées à chaque époque dans les dynamiques locales d’occupation, animées notamment par les Indiens Kayapós, les religieux français dominicains fondateurs de la première ville de la région, Conceição do Araguaia, lieu stratégique de la mission d’évangélisation locale. L’analyse de ces vague set de leurs interactions locales dans les sphères sociales, économiques, territoriales, s’est basée sur des sources documentaires, narrations orales, e documents juridiques. Tous fournissent des regards complémentaires sur les différentes stratégies d’occupations, mises en œuvre par les différents groupes sociaux. L’analyse de chaque vague s’appuie ainsi sur ces différentes stratégies. L’élevage bovin constitue le fil conducteur de cette occupation, et de la construction progressive du territoire du Sud du Pará. ______________________________________________________________________________ RESUMEN / En este trabajo de tesis se reflejan las diferentes dinámicas de ocupación territorial que ocurrieron en algunos municipios del sur del Estado de Pará en tres frentes distintos de ocupación. El primer frente llegó en los últimos años del siglo XIX. Compuesto por sertanejos de cultura pastoral del nordeste, que buscaban pastizales naturales para sus rebaños. El segundo frente llegó a finales de la década de 1950, formado por empresarios y agentes corredores paulistas, que actuaban en el Estado de Goiás. A partir de 1964, hasta fines de 1970, principalmente, llego al sur del Pará un tercer frente, formado por varias empresas, que venían, en su mayoría, de la región centro – sur del Brasil. Que se conocieron en los años siguientes como empresas agropecuarias que eran beneficiadas por proyectos financiados por el Gobierno Federal. Esos frentes, en diferentes épocas, se relacionaron con los demás grupos de la región, como los indígenas Kayapós, además de los religiosos franceses dominicanos, los que fundaron la primera ciudad de la región, Conceição do Araguaia, que era el punto estratégico de la misión catequética local. Para los análisis de los distintos frentes y de sus relaciones con la región en diferentes contextos sociales y económicos, utilizaron fuentes documentarias, narraciones orales y procesos jurídicos lo que permitió la reflexión sobre las distintas estrategias de ocupación establecidas por esos grupos que allí se establecieron. De esta manera, los puntos particulares del proceso ocupacional y sus consecuencias para la región incorporan las reflexiones en diferentes etapas estudiadas. Por lo tanto en los diferentes procesos de ocupación, la ganadería era el principal objetivo de los frentes que entraron en el territorio del sur de Pará.

This thesis is an analysis of the use of the homecoming ('nostos' in Greek) in Greek tragedy. I concentrate not just on the treatment of the nostos-theme within the plot and the imagery of the plays in question but also on nostos as part of Greek cultural experience. In order to illuminate the nature of nostos both as a life-event and as a story-pattern in the early literary tradition I begin with an overview of nostos in life and literature, and then give a detailed account of nostos in the Odyssey, since it is a major example of the nostos-pattern for Greek culture. By considering the literary treatment of nostos in the Odyssey one may understand the nature of nostos as a story-pattern and how that influences audience expectations. This is particularly important since the analysis of nostos in Greek tragedy will be especially related to the Odyssey. Specifically the thesis aims to describe and analyse common elements within the plot and the imagery of the plays that might be called nostos-plays. Primary nostos-plays are those where nostos serves as the fulcrum of the action, such as Aeschylus' 'Persians' and Agamemnon and Sophocles' 'Trachiniae'. The bulk of this study is devoted to the structural use of nostos in these plays. I stress at the outset, however, that the nostos-pattern in Greek tragedy is exploited more widely, and there are many occasions in Greek drama where nostos is an element of the plot. Among these, those with closest association to the treatment of nostos in the second half of the Odyssey are the Orestes-plots (notably Aeschylus' 'Choephori', Sophocles' 'Electra' and Euripides' 'Electra'). I also consider the use of nostos in Euripides' 'Andromache' and 'Heracles' since both plays illustrate that nostos is a means of creative variation on the part of the poet. Interpretation of the specific plays shows that the nostos-pattern common to these plays is a flexible set of conventions with significant variation in each case. Common themes and roles are developed in divergent ways, expectations raised are not necessarily met. Thus the thesis will recognise the variety of specific uses of the nostos-pattern on tragic stage. Finally, I suggest in the Appendix a new reading of Seferis' poem. In particular I relate the return of the exile in Seferis' poem to the return of Orestes, which underlines the idealistic nature of the notion of a return to the same. This notion is embodied in both the nostos-plays and Seferis' poem.

This thesis examines the transition from the Roman republic to the Principate of Augustus through the lens of the pontifex maximus, the office of the head of the pontifical college. Despite burgeoning interest in this role, current scholarship still regards the elevation of the chief pontiff to a politically significant position as a by-product of Caesar’s ambition and, subsequently, Octavian’s quest for both power and legitimacy. It is my contention that the trajectory of this priesthood’s ascendancy has been incorrectly plotted and that a proper understanding of the pontificate requires an analysis of the events surrounding the politically motivated murder of a tribune by the chief pontiff in 133 and subsequently over the next century. After a survey of literature and a summary of the key features of the office, the thesis argues that the position of chief pontiff had long since conferred a stable prominence which was unique in the Roman republic. This prominence brought with it a particular kind of power which interacted with the auctoritas of the men who occupied the priesthood: in this way, the holders of an office which was bound up with some of the most revered traditions of the city were empowered to improvise courses of action which further enhanced the standing and influence of the chief pontiffs. It was through this cycle of action and perception that the pontifex maximus became a mechanism of political change – and was itself transformed in the process. In considering this cycle, particular emphasis is placed on the phenomenon of ‘sacro-political’ violence which, as a novelty instigated by one chief pontiff, became a recurrent motif in Roman political life thereafter. I argue that Scipio Nasica Serapio made deliberate use of his office to sanction an intervention which would have serious consequences for the republic and which radically altered how the Romans saw this priesthood. The thesis then explores how subsequent holders of the office either negotiated or exploited this ‘legacy’ to further their careers, to respond to unprecedented constitutional crises or simply to stay alive. Although all the pontifices maximi from 141 B.C. to 14 AD are considered, this thesis focuses on the lives and times of Nasica Serapio, Quintus Scaevola, Julius Caesar and Augustus as their tenures are particularly emblematic of the tensions between the mos maiorum and an increasingly extreme political climate. I argue that the new dispensation established by the first princeps, with all the restorationist rhetoric which accompanied it, relied decisively on Augustus’ assumption of the role. Even if Augustus had absorbed virtually all of the available priesthoods, the long wait he had to endure for the office of chief pontiff says a great deal about the nature of the pontificate and its strategic value to the heir of Caesar. Two case-study Appendices discuss the disputed pontificate of Q. Servilius Caepio and the relationship between Cicero, Clodius and the pontifical college. These studies exemplify the prosopographical challenges in reconstructing republican priesthoods (even the most prominent) and the interaction between law, religion and politics in the mid first century B.C.
