Da conceituação do termo pelo inglês Francis Galton no século XVIII, até o advento do nazismo, sua expressão mais radical, o movimento possuiu características distintas. Neste trabalho, buscamos observar uma outra faceta do movimento mundial: a peculiaridade da eugenia brasileira ao defender a regeneração de um povo, não condenado pelo clima ou pela raça, mas doente. Nesse contexto destacamos um novo elemento: a presença da Fundação Rockefeller. Nosso argumento baseia-se no fato de que nas duas primeiras décadas do século XX, a eugenia, em terras brasileiras, era sinônimo de saneamento e higiene. A Fundação Rockefeller, por sua vez, teve atuação marcante no campo da saúde pública, especialmente naquilo que se relacionava ao saneamento e ao combate às doenças que assolavam tanto as áreas urbanas como as rurais. A chegada da fundação norte-americana ao Brasil foi marcada pela negociação, já que o país possuía uma tradição médica que se consolidava. Ao mesmo tempo, podemos defender que a Fundação foi também ¿capturada¿ pela eugenia brasileira, que nesse período se confundia com saúde pública. Palavras-chave: Eugenia, Fundação Rockefeller, Saúde Pública / Abstract: Eugenics: heterogeneous and complex: since the conception of the term with Francis Galton in the 18th century, until the advent of the nazism, its more radical expression, the movement presented different characteristics. In this work, we try to observe another side of the worldwide movement: the peculiarity of the Brazilian eugenics by defending the regeneration of a nation, that was not condemned by the climate or the race, but was sick. In this context we take a new element: the presence of the Rockefeller Foundation. Our argument is based on the fact that in the two first decades of the 20th century, eugenics in Brazil meant sanitation and hygiene. The Rockefeller Foundation was a leader in the field of public health, specially in things related to sanitation and in fighting against diseases that were devastating the urban as much as the rural areas. The coming of the north american Foundation to Brazil was marked by negotiation, since the country had a medical tradition that was increasing by that time. At the same time we claim the idea that the Foundation was also "captured" by the Brazilian eugenics that in this period was confounded with public health. Key-words: Eugenics, Rockefeller Foundation, Public Health / Mestrado / Mestre em Política Científica e Tecnológica

And, specially, understand the strategies and measures employed for more active participation of this group in the city. Among the main issues examined in this work, there are: the role of the doctors in actions to improve the health, the search for a more effectively workspace in the field of public health, training and participation of the Centro Médico Cearense (Medical Center from Ceará), in Fortaleza, and the interventions of doctors from Ceara and the Rockefeller Commission in preventing and fighting yellow fever. The diversified research sources contributed to understand how doctors earned at that time a place in directing and organizing the daily life of Fortaleza (1900-1935) / Este trabalho tem como proposta analisar os discursos e ações referentes às práticas dos médicos na cidade de Fortaleza no começo do século XX. E especialmente, perceber as estratégias e medidas empregadas para a participação mais ativa desse grupo na cidade. Dentre as questões principais analisadas nesse estudo estão: a atuação dos médicos nas ações de melhoramento da salubridade, a busca por um espaço de trabalho mais efetivo no campo da saúde pública, a formação e participação do Centro Médico Cearense em Fortaleza e as intervenções dos médicos cearenses e da Comissão Rockefeller na prevenção e combate da febre amarela. As diversificadas fontes contribuíram para entender como os médicos neste momento conquistaram um lugar no direcionamento e organização do cotidiano de Fortaleza (1900-1935)

Chilean dance impresario Marquis George de Cuevas was born Jorge Cuevas Bartholin (1885-1961) and is best remembered as a fashionable socialite of the 1940s and 50s who married heiress Margaret Rockefeller Strong and founded several ballet companies in Europe and America in the wake of the great Ballet Russes era. This dissertation examines how Cuevas cultivated his fictionalized public persona, an identity that is essentially queer on several levels.vCuevas participated, reflected and resisted the several labels that were imposed on him. As Spanish aristocrat, American citizen, international ballet patron, Parisian socialite, and heir to the Russian dance avant-gardes, Cuevas distanced himself from his Chilean origins. Proud of having achieved “real” success by triumphing abroad, however, Cuevas was always acutely aware of his shortcomings as a foreigner. Classed as an eccentric other, Cuevas participates in the larger discourse of cosmopolitanism, engaging with the issue of what it means to be foreign in the cities of Paris, New York and Santiago de Chile. The four chapters that comprise this dissertation explore the ways that boundaries of class, sexuality, gender, race, and citizenship are broken, or momentarily disrupted by Cuevas. I situate Cuevas’s foreign aspirations in the context of the South American obsession with Europe, and Paris in particular. I also examine how Cuevas inhabits the roles of dandy and flâneur in an attempt to fit in the modern urban context of Paris. Anxiety regarding the figure of the foreigner and social upstart is perceived in the arguable failure of Cuevas’s best-remembered social event, a grand costume ball that was to gather the most fashionable men and women of the international Café Society. Perhaps Cuevas’s most successful project was the making of his own chameleonic identity, which emerges in the letters addressed to French-Romanian author Princess Marthe Bibesco, who wrote the libretto for the ballet initially entitled The Bird Wounded by an Arrow, which also crucially establishes Cuevas’s artistic manifesto. An account of Cuevas’s life and works treads into the swampy terrain of fiction, and this dissertation offers a literary approach that considers Cuevas as a figure of legend. / text

A mix of economic interests, humanitarianism, and political concerns over future regional security and stability drove twentieth century attempts to counter indigenous morbidity and depopulation in the Pacific. However, chronic under-resourcing impeded colonial health developments. An opportunity for change came in 1913, when the International Health Board of the Rockefeller Foundation negotiated with the British Colonial Office for joint programmes to control hookworm disease in Britain's tropical dependencies. After surveying the health situation and potential for work in the Pacific region in 1916, a short-lived campaign followed in Fiji (1917-1918). The American philanthropy then focused on Australia, where co-operative hookworm programmes advanced the objectives of the Foundation and increased Federal involvement in public health while and also served the interests of "White Australia". Under Dr. Sylvester Lambert, work in the Island Pacific resumed in 1920, to promote the health and economic viability ofindigenous labour in the Australian territories of Papua and New Guinea. Plantation interests supported survey and treatment work in the British Solomon Island Protectorate, and in 1922 the Fiji campaign re-opened. Lambert expanded the International Health Board's involvement from initial hookworm survey and treatment programmes in the British and New Zealand dependencies in the South Pacific, into other aspects of public health and medical services: water supplies and latrines; a bacteriological laboratory in Suva; hospital expansion; and medical education. Integrating local initiatives, Lambert advocated a Unified Pacific Medical Service, in which key elements were centralisation., rationalisation and affordability. The most radical aspect of his plan was the development of a Central Medical School for the Pacific territories, to provide targeted professional training for indigenous medical practitioners who had a crucial (although still subservient) role in economic service delivery and the diffusion of biomedical understanding among local communities. Also controversial - and Jess successful - were attempts to improve the career opportunities and standard of European Medical Officers, by creating a single medical service for the British Pacific dependencies. Attempts to achieve these goals influenced the shape and outcome of health and medical services which developed in the different island communities by 1939, when Lambert's retirement signalled an end to active Rockefeller Foundation involvement. This thesis examrnes the ways in which colonial administrations, medical staff, the Rockefeller Foundation, labour and mission interests, and Pacific Islanders interacted in the introduction of the dramatically new medical concepts and practices of western science (and specifically tropical medicine) and their effect on indigenous populations.

Este trabalho analisa a natureza e as características das fotografias enquanto documentos integrantes de arquivos institucionais. Partindo do questionamento sobre o tratamento de fotografias pertencentes a arquivos históricos, o trabalho investiga a trajetória do documento fotográfico como objeto teórico e metodológico na área da arquivística, com base na análise de alguns de seus principais manuais e textos metodológicos. Analisando o enfoque tradicional aplicado às fotografias, discute a problemática do documento fotográfico desenvolvida mais contemporaneamente à luz do referencial teórico da Diplomática. O trabalho utilizase de um estudo de caso, o arquivo fotográfico gerado a partir das atividades da Fundação Rockefeller e do Serviço Nacional de Febre Amarela nos anos de 1930 e 1940 durante os estudos, pesquisas e combate à febre amarela no Brasil. Esse estudo pretende, por um lado, investigar a contextualização da produção do arquivo de imagens como forma de entendimento do contexto funcional responsável pelo surgimento dos documentos visuais e, por outro, afirmar o caráter arquivístico do documento fotográfico, considerando suas peculiaridades. Aos que organizam os arquivos, cabe a tarefa de investigar e tornar explícitos tanto o contexto de produção quanto os vínculos que ligam as imagens às funções ao longo de sua trajetória como documento, para que haja uma transformação no enfoque reservado a esses materiais, calcado na valorização exclusiva de seu conteúdo informativo, em detrimento do seu valor como evidência das ações para as quais foram gerados e utilizados. / This thesis proposes an analysis of the nature and characteristics of photography as part of institutional archives documents. From the questioning about the treatment given to photographies of historical archives, the work seeks to investigate the journey of the photographic document as object of theoretical and methodological questioning in the archival field, based on examination of some of its main manuals and methodological texts. Analyzing the traditional approach applied to photography, discusses the problematic of photographic document developed contemporaneously in the light of Diplomatics theoretical reference. The thesis adopts a case study, the photographic archive generated from activities of study, research and combat of yellow fever in Brazil, by the partnership between Rockefeller Foundation and the Brazilian National Service of Yellow Fever, during the Thirties and Forties. The present study proposes, on the one hand, to investigate the contextualization of the production of image archives as means of understanding the functional context responsible for the appearance of visual documents and, on the other hand, asseverates the archival nature of photographic documents, according to its peculiarities. To those who organize the archives, is assigned the task of investigating and making explicit both the context of the production and the bonds that links images to functions during their journey as document, in order to produce a transformation of the approach reserved to these materials, based on the sole valuation of it\'s informative contents in prejudice of it\'s value as evidence of actions for which have been created and used.
