This thesis discusses the promises and pitfalls of city preservation in Ouro Preto, a Brazilian city preserved nationally and hailed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Using interviews, archival material, ethnographic observations, and the analysis of public meetings on city preservation in Ouro Preto in 2013, I study how the city's legacy as a national treasure of monumental architecture has endured until now, despite different coexisting standards of living, perceptions and uses of the city, and views of the past. In Ouro Preto, while fluctuating populations of tourists and students live mainly in the historic city centre, permanent residents often build their homes in underprivileged and marginalised areas and benefit little from their cultural heritage. Spatial exclusion and preservation policies, allegedly favouring outsiders, boost the divide between residents and newcomers, echoing the colonial past of the city. Disputes around the preservation of the cityscape invited widespread participation. One expectation of increased grassroots participation in cultural heritage sites is that it could expose varied and fluid perspectives of the city, and consequently allow for corresponding, more inclusive uses. However, when looking at local participatory practices in heritage policies, I consider the challenge for grassroots meetings to include different citizens and viewpoints, when the ability to disagree in public debates and participation are restricted by socio-economic conditions. The ethnographic character of this research offers a platform to investigate anthropological questions regarding the role, limits and expectations around cultural heritage and participatory practices in a context of varied socio-economic levels and fluid perceptions of aesthetics, history, and everyday uses of public spaces in a fragmented city.

Public private partnership (PPP) is a favorable cooperation mode in delivery of public infrastructure and service projects. This concept is warmly discussed in economic perspective on providing a wide range of general public services. The private sector which involved in the public services work, it helps release public sector’s finance pressure on funds and reduce the risks on conducting the works. When this PPP concept applied into conservation works, government and private sector utilize resource they have and cooperate with each other to realize ultimate work. In general, PPP is applied in the conservation on government owned property and work for public interest. The scale of the project is typically large and last for a long time. The private sectors which join in the work are organizations at most. It is rarely to see government-individual cooperation in PPP mode. Such cooperation is encouraged, since a successful conservation work is not judged by project scale and length of work, even money spending, but the social continuum to the public. Therefore, the key issue addressed by this dissertation is to documentary the conservation work undertaken in a teahouse in Macao, especially focusing on the PPP work in process. The purpose is to reveal a successful conservation practice applied PPP in a small scale, private owned property, an individual as private sector participated in conservation work. The dissertation examines historical, cultural and social backgrounds of the teahouse building and approaches primary source by interviewing with stakeholders on their comments and opinions. After collecting information and analyzing results, a framework on judging the success of PPP work is generated at the end which makes this research valuable and unique. The research work could be used as a reference for future study on PPP work with project characteristics like the case discussed in this dissertation. / published_or_final_version / Conservation / Master / Master of Science in Conservation

In order to illustrate why museums are frequently sites of conflict and mediation, this dissertation examines the complex conditions under which knowledge is produced and disseminated at three Canadian museums. Approaching museums as social arenas or contact zones, the dissertation exposes power struggles in museums and dislodges a whole set of assumptions about what museums are and how they function. For the study I selected the following museums with anthropological mandates: MacBride Museum (Whitehorse), Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre (Yellowknife), and Vancouver Museum (Vancouver). The three museums were chosen because their geographical proximity to large communities of Aboriginal Peoples enabled an exploration of the changing relationships between them. Historically, museums have held the power to classify and define Aboriginal Peoples. Relatively recently, however Aboriginal Peoples have in various ways (by imposing constraints on how they and their cultures are exhibited, and through land claims and repatriation requests) been challenging their historic relationships with museums. In chapter one I discuss my objectives, methodology, and the work of those scholars who shaped this dissertation. Chapter two explores the invention of museums in the western world and begins linking the three Canadian museums with knowledge and power. In chapters three, four, and five I portray the mobility and productivity of three museums (MacBride Museum, PWNHC, and Vancouver Museum) in three distinct regions of Canada. I illustrate their ability to articulate identity, power, and tradition as well as the role they perform in the social organization of power relations. Each chapter begins with a description of the historical roots of power relations at each institution. This leads into a discussion of each museum's present system of authority: the state, governing bodies, professional staff and, increasingly, Aboriginal representatives. In the process I reveal some of the political pressures, institutional hierarchies, and personal conflicts that shape knowledge within these institutions. Chapter six is a review and critical analysis of systems of authority of the three museums and the challenges presented by Aboriginal Peoples. I conclude with the issues raised at the outset, which continue to confront the Canadian museum community, issues of inclusion and the limitations of cross-cultural translation, repatriation, and representation.

Fourteen historic sites in the Eastern United States were evaluated for ways archaeological evidence was used in the development of living history, public education, and other interpretive programs. A wide range of sites, such as outdoor living history museum villages, active urban public archaeology programs, sites associated with well-known archaeologists, and sites where the author had personal experience, were studied.Techniques used to interpret archaeological resources to the public were identified to ascertain which were found to be the most effective in spreading the word about preservation and conservation. Technological advances have expanded interpretive possibilities and allowed innovations not thought possible ten years ago. These advances will continue, and archaeologists will need to stay abreast of innovative techniques in public interpretation in spite of excitement or trepidation. This study may serve as guidelines for museums wishing to establish innovative, but low-budget, interpretive programs. / Department of Anthropology

The innovation terminology has been intensively used nowadays to evidence scenery of entrepreneurial competitiveness in the entire world. Many actors, researchers and collaborators are using elements related to tacit and codified knowledge, proceedings, directives, researches and development that are resulting in useful things absorbed by the market. One efficient regime of appropriability may protect the creations of human intellect and give competitive advantages to his owner. The Brazilian system of intellectual and industrial property is based in specific laws: Innovation Act, Cultivar protection Act and Patent Protection Act, and also with participation in international treats. The scientific and technological advances are very linked to socioeconomic development. Due the economic importance of sucroenergetic sector, the present work will discuss about the RIDESA Program, whose has the Federal University of Alagoas as one player. This work pretends to bring elements over constitution, structure, legal regulation and other parameters related to development of new cultivars of sugarcane. Although RIDESA is responsible to furnish cultivars for 59% of total area used in sugarcane plantation, and positioned 7 of the 10 more used cultivars in Brazil, this sector was evaluated as been very weak in its appropriability regime. The sugarcane´s chain aspects of knowledge generation, protection and technological transfer were analyzed, giving promises for the fast growing of this sector based in new economic paradigms coming from entrance technologies. / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / No presente cenário da competitividade mundial, o termo inovação tem sido muito usado e disseminado em diversos ambientes e por agentes, colaboradores, pesquisadores do mundo. Temos presenciado um conjunto de elementos relacionados ao conhecimento tacito e codificado, procedimentos, diretrizes, pesquisas, desenvolvimentos que geram resultados e que deverão ser absorvidos pelo mercado. Um regime de apropriabilidade eficiente pode garantir a exclusividade sobre as criações do intelecto humano e definir vantagens competitivas aos setores que a detém. O Brasil conta com o Sistema de Propriedade Intelectual amparado principalmente na legislação específica: Lei de Propriedade Industrial, Lei de Proteção de Cultivares e a Lei de Inovação, além da participação em acordos e tratados internacionais. Os avanços científicos e tecnológicos são de extrema importância para o desenvolvimento socioeconômico. Dada a importância nacional e local do setor econômico sucroenergético, o presente trabalho se propõe a estudar a Rede Interuniversitária para o Desenvolvimento do Setor Sucroenergético – RIDESA. A Universidade Federal de Alagoas é partícipe, do ponto de vista de sua constituição, estruturação e os meios legais que garantem a apropriabilidade das tecnologias obtidas através dos esforços destinados a pesquisa e desenvolvimento de novas cultivares de cana-de-açúcar. Mesmo sendo responsável pela criação das cultivares de cana utilizadas em mais de 59% da área cultivada no país, além de posicionar 7 das 10 cultivares mais utilizadas, o setor foi analisado e caracterizado como de fraca apropriabilidade. Os aspectos de geração do conhecimento, proteção e transferência da tecnologia do setor são abordados, com levantamento de expectativas de crescimento do setor, a partir de novos paradigmas de produção com tecnologias entrantes.

To achieve this aim, in the first part, we discuss the concepts elevated to the constitutional guarantee. More precisely, on the elements that make up the concept of cultural heritage as well as the right to property. From the valorization of the right to culture, which is also constitutionalised, a new meaning of the social function of property is focused in order to conclude that property has lost its absolute character over the years. This research then visited the various forms of state intervention in private property to devote greater attention to tipping - the most important instrument of our legal system for the protection of cultural heritage. A special chapter was dedicated to the indemnification aspect of tipping to conclude that the aforementioned form of state intervention, often responsible for serious damage to the holder of the domain, accommodates itself in social resilience. From this conclusion, the study dealt with the right of indemnification of the individual and some forms of its concretization. The second part of the study devoted attention to the Vila Operária Maria Zéliae, located in the neighborhood of Belém, in São Paulo. This village was established more than one hundred years ago. This Villa suffers from the effects of the tipping since the 1980s. This state intervention has in many cases configured the total misconfiguration of the property with total damage to the cultural patrimony. For what possible solutions can concrete case await? The conclusion of the study highlights the need to apply instruments aimed at provoking the responsibility of the parties affected by the tipping. As for the particular, the need for it to be called to respond for the effective maintenance of the good even in the form of its provocation in the hypotheses in which it does not have the financial resources for such purpose. In relation to the Public Power, to respond for the damages caused not only to the particular but to the cultural patrimony in the situations in which it remains inert even when the hype and lack of knowledge of the owner of the domain was a known fact even before the concretization of his intervention in his property . / O objeto de estudo deste é trabalho é a proteção equilibrada dos direitos atingidos pela intervenção estatal na propriedade de bens imóveis urbanos, na forma de tombamento. Com esse propósito, discorre-se, numa primeira parte, sobre conceitos elevados à garantia constitucional. Mais precisamente, sobre os elementos que compõem o conceito de patrimônio cultural bem como o direito de propriedade. A partir da valorização do direito à cultura, igualmente constitucionalizado, foca-se um novo significado da função social da propriedade para se concluir que a propriedade perdeu, ao longo dos anos, seu caráter absoluto. Em seguida, esta pesquisa visitou as diversas formas de intervenção do Estado na propriedade privada para dedicar maior atenção ao tombamento – instrumento mais importante do nosso ordenamento jurídico para proteção do patrimônio cultural. Dedicou-se um capítulo especial ao aspecto indenizatório do tombamento para se concluir que mencionada forma de intervenção estatal, muitas vezes responsável por prejuízos graves ao titular do domínio, acomoda-se na resiliência social. A partir desta conclusão, o estudo versou sobre o direito indenizatório do particular e algumas formas de sua concretização. A segunda parte do trabalho dedicou atenção ao caso Vila Operária Maria Zélia, situada no Bairro do Belém, no Município de São Paulo. Constituída há mais de um século, esta Vila padece com os efeitos do tombamento desde a década de 1980. Referida intervenção estatal configurou, em muitos casos, a total desconfiguração do bem com total prejuízo ao patrimônio cultural. Por quais soluções possíveis caso concreto por aguardar? A conclusão dos estudos coloca em evidência a necessidade de aplicação de instrumentos voltados à provocação da responsabilidade das partes atingidas pelo tombamento. Quanto ao particular, a necessidade de o mesmo ser chamado a responder pela efetiva manutenção do bem inclusive na forma de sua provocação nas hipóteses em que não dispõe de recursos 8 financeiros para tal finalidade. Em relação ao Poder Público, para responder pelos prejuízos causados não apenas ao particular, mas ao patrimônio cultural nas situações em que se mantém inerte mesmo quando a hipossuficiência e o desconhecimento do titular do domínio era fato sabido antes mesmo da concretização de sua intervenção em sua propriedade.
