A historiografia local, ao longo de vários anos, tem creditado à produção de açúcar e a aos engenhos, e posteriormente às usinas, o papel preponderante na formação da sociedade alagoana de uma forma geral, inclusive de sua materialidade. Entretanto, fontes documentais do século XVIII demonstram que, ao menos nesse período, outros agentes contribuíram intensamente, com igual, ou talvez maior, importância no processo de urbanização de Alagoas. Em um único manuscrito, localizado na Biblioteca Nacional, por exemplo, a quantidade de fazendas de gado é mais do que o dobro do número de engenhos. Outro aspecto que este mesmo documento demonstra é a coexistência de diversas atividades em uma mesma região, contradizendo a espacialização produtiva afirmada pela historiografia. Neste sentido, a presente tese consiste em um esforço de investigação, com base no cruzamento de uma historiografia local com as fontes documentais do século XVIII,sobre o processo de formação urbana de Alagoas, buscando um olhar mais ampliado sobre outros aspectos importantes nesse processo.Considerando o território uma composição de múltiplas camadas de significados,amalgamadas ao longo do tempo, mas que estão em uma constante transformação,ocasionando assim o acúmulo de processos, formas e expressões de tempo, o principal objetivo deste trabalho é contribuir para a compreensão do processo de urbanização de Alagoas durante o período colonial, com enfoque nos movimentos ocorridos durante o século XVIII, a partir da análise da atuação de diferentes agentes determinantes, bem como da relação entre eles. / The local historiography, over several years, has credited to the sugar production and to the mills, the preponderant role in the formation of the Alagoan society in general, including its materiality. However, documentary sources of the eighteenth century show that, at least in this period, other agents contributed intensely, with equal or perhaps greater importance in the process of urbanization of Alagoas. In a single manuscript, located in the National Library, for example, the number of cattle farms is more than twice the number of mills. Another aspect that this same document demonstrates is the coexistence of several activities in the same region, contradicting the productive spatialization affirmed by historiography. In this sense, the present thesis consists of a research effort, based on the intersection of a local historiography with documentary sources of the eighteenth century, on the process of urban formation of Alagoas, seeking a broader look at other important aspects in this process. Considering the territory a composition of multiple layers of meanings, amalgamated over time, but that are in a constant transformation, thus causing the accumulation of processes, forms and expressions of time, the main objective of this work is to contribute to the understanding of the process of urbanization of Alagoas during the colonial period, focusing on the movements that occurred during the eighteenth century, based on the analysis of the performance of different determining agents, as well as the relationship between them.

The purpose of this study is to assess Turkish squatters, namely &lsquo / gecekondu&rsquo / over the image in cinema in terms of a visual urban archive. In order to analyze this representation in cinema as an urban image, both the cinematic production and urban theoretical approaches about migration and gecekonduzation process are discussed in order to find out the parallelism between the stories of gecekondu in these two fields, and to crosscheck the cinematic image of gecekondu. Therefore, the study is held in accordance with the epochs due to the break points of the history of the phenomenon. The movies are analyzed through a critical discourse analysis after the depiction of each epoch. Finally, the picture of the phenomenon is compared with the actuality of the epochs, academic framework and the cinematic image with the purpose of revealing the cinematic memory about it.

This paper examines the power producing dams along the Ume-river as an integral part of and a result from the urbanization process in Sweden during industrial capitalism. The aim of the paper is to contribute to the knowledge of the urbanization process in Sweden in general and of its traces along the Ume river in the county of Västerbotten in particular. The paper applies the theory of concentrated urbanization and extended urbanization put forward by Neil Brenner and Christian Schmid (2015) and argues that the building of power producing dams along the Ume-river is part of an extended urbanization process. This becomes particularly evident when examining the vast physical structures that is the dams, situated in an otherwise remote and sparsely populated area. These vast physical structures are also very well connected to a nation wide electric grid that has connections to bordering countries as well. Due to neo-liberal developments in Sweden the former state governed electrical market is now deregularized and exposed to corporate competition and capitalist speculation. This paper mainly contributes to the understanding of the urbanization process as a process not only taking place in large urban agglomerations but also affects and shapes by remote areas in physical, social and economic terms.
