This thesis is the first detailed study of the way in which science and technology were portrayed in propaganda and popular culture during the Khrushchëv period, a time when the Soviet leadership invested significant resources, both at home and abroad, in order to capitalise on its scientific achievements. It draws upon a wide range of previously unseen materials from the archives of the RSFSR Ministry of Education, the Soviet Academy of Sciences, the State Committee on Radio and Television and the Central Committee of the CPSU. It provides the first archive-based analysis of the lecturing organisation 'Znanie', which was crucial to the dissemination of Soviet propaganda in the post-war period. The thesis also makes use of a variety of published sources, such as popular science publications and journals, as well as a number of Soviet films from the Khrushchëv period. The thesis examines the manner in which scientific information was disseminated to the Soviet public and the ways in which public scientific opinion was able to participate in, and influence, this process. It is shown that a general lack of institutionalised control enabled members of the scientific intelligentsia to exercise a degree of control over the content of scientific propaganda, often in a very idiosyncratic fashion. The way in which the rhetorical and ideological presentation of science changed during the Khrushchëv period (often identified as 'the Thaw') is analysed, and it is shown that while Soviet popular science did become increasingly open to foreign influence it became preoccupied with new threats, such as generational and personal conflict. The thesis also uses the available sources to consider popular responses to scientific propaganda and, in particular, whether attempts to use scientific-atheistic propaganda to create a 'materialist' worldview amongst Soviet citizens met with any success. The thesis provides detailed case studies of the use of science in Khrushchëv's atheistic campaigns, of propaganda surrounding early Soviet achievements in the space race and of the portrayal of the Lysenko controversy in the popular media.

A montagem de um espetáculo, ainda que um monólogo, exige trabalho intelectual e também braçal, exige um grupo de pessoas organizadas com o mesmo objetivo. A história do teatro no Brasil pode, portanto, ser contada pelas histórias de seus grupos e companhias teatrais. Grupos que, em suas diversas localidades e épocas, fizeram parte do contexto sócio cultural em que se inseriam. Compreender sua história é compreender melhor não apenas a história do nosso teatro, da nossa cultura, mas também a do próprio país. Esta tese é o resultado de uma pesquisa sobre um desses grupos: o Teatro Experimental de Comédia de Araraquara (TECA), grupo de teatro amador atuante na cidade de Araraquara, interior do Estado de São Paulo, de 1955 a 1962 e de seu diretor, Wallace Leal Valentim Rodrigues. / Abstract: Theater, as a creative process, is an art form to be exercized in group, by many, and not isolated. The set-up of a play, even a monologue, requires intellectual and heavy work, requires a group of people organized with the same objectives. The history of Brazilian theater can, therefore, be explained by the histories of its groups and theater companies. Groups that, in their different communities and times, were part of the social and cultural context where they belonged. Understanding their histories is to understand not only our theater history better, but our culture, and also our own country. This thesis is the result of a research on one of these groups: the Teatro Experimental de Comédia de Araraquara (TECA), an amateur company active in Araraquara, a town at São Paulo State, from 1955 through 1962 and of its stage director, Wallace Leal Valentim Rodrigues. / Doutorado / Doutor em Artes

Particularmente, analisar o desenvolvimento de uma economia mercantil de abastecimento e a construção de um comércio de animais em que a figura social do tropeiro possui grande relevância. A evolução de uma rede tributária da Capitania à Província paulista, principalmente os impostos relacionados ao trânsito de animais, assume um papel relevante nesse trabalho. Através do período de vigência desses tributos, indo além do período colonial, se articulam diferentes mudanças e conflitos nas esferas políticas, administrativa e tributária desde então / Abstract: This thesis presents, in its general objectives, the trajectory of the Captainship/Province of São Paulo (Brazil) between centuries 18th and 19th, over all, the called region ¿sugar quadrilateral¿. Particularly, I analyze the development of a mercantile economy of supplying and the construction of the animals¿ trade where the social figure of the ¿tropeiro¿ possess a great relevance. The evolution of a net tax of the Captainship to the São Paulo Province, mainly the taxes related to the transit of animals, assumes an excellent role in this work. Through the period of validity of these tributes, going beyond the colonial period, these taxes articulate different changes and conflicts in the politics, administrative and tax spheres / Doutorado / Historia Economica / Doutor em Desenvolvimento Economico

Para tanto, iniciamos com a reconstituição da origem sócio-econômico familiar no início do século XIX, nas vilas paulistas de Atibaia e Jundiaí cultivando mantimentos, produzindo aguardente e criando animais - atividades voltadas ao mercado interno. O capital amealhado será posteriormente transformado em canaviais e cafeeiros, ingressando nos grandes circuitos de acumulação da economia imperial, entre 1830-1850. Na segunda metade do XIX, veremos a redistribuição do cabedal entre os membros da família Lacerda Franco e a formação de empresas constituídas essencialmente por familiares. Estas firmas - sociedades agrícolas, casa comissária e exportadora, indústria e banco - formaram-se, na maior parte, prescindindo dos capitais de terceiros. Elas fortaleceram-se no complexo exportador cafeeiro paulista, chegando mesmo a dominar alguns setores, como a exportação de café pelo Porto de Santos em 1885-1886. A pujança e diversificação dos investimentos da família Lacerda Franco dão mostras da força do capital nacional no século XIX, na figura dos representantes do grande capital cafeeiro, indivíduos que, apesar de originarem seus capitais na lavoura, embrenharem-se nos mais difusos empreendimentos ligados à produção e comércio no século XIX, possibilitando a formação de uma riqueza portentosa e diversificada, como a análise dos vários documentos da fazenda Montevidéo (Araras-SP) e da fazenda Paraizo (São Carlos-SP) nos permitiram apreender / Abstract: The present work elucidates the formation of wealth in the Paulista economy during the nineteenth century through the business of one of its most important families, the Lacerda Franco. To this end, we begin with the reconstruction of socio-economic origin of family in the early nineteenth century, in the paulista villages Jundiaí and Atibaia growing food, producing spirits and raising livestock - activities aimed at the domestic market. The capital earned will then be transformed into sugar cane and coffee, joining the great circuits of accumulation of the imperial economy between 1830-1850. In the second half of the nineteenth century, we see the redistribution of patrimony between the family members of the Lacerda Franco and the formation of companies which were mainly family members. These companies - agricultural societies, commissioners and export firm, industry and bank - formed in most, regardless of third party capital. They were strengthened in the coffee exporter complex of São Paulo, and even dominate some sectors such as coffee exports through the Port of Santos in 1885-1886. The strength and diversification of investments of the family Lacerda Franco show the strength of the native capital in the nineteenth century, the figure of the representatives of big coffee capital, individuals who, despite their capital origins in the field are embroiled in enterprises related to the more diffuse production and trade in the nineteenth century, allowing the formation of a diversified and portentous wealth, as the analysis of various documents from the farm Montevideo (Araras-SP) and the farm Paraizo (São Carlos-SP) allow us to grasp / Doutorado / Historia Economica / Doutor em Desenvolvimento Economico

Review of: Confederate Outlaw: Champ Ferguson and the Civil War in Appalachia. By Brian D. McKnight. Conflicting Worlds: New Dimensions of the American Civil War. (Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 2011. Pp. [xvi], 252. $34.95, ISBN 978-0-8071-3769-7.)

McKnight addresses not only the infamous guerrilla Champ Ferguson but also the larger context of the war in southern Appalachia. The author argues that fluid loyalties, extreme paranoia, and opportunism defined Ferguson's war in the Upper Cumberland region [...]
