Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) Cidade Velha e Feliz Lusitânia: cenários do Patrimônio Cultural em Belém(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2006-10-31) MIRANDA, Cybelle Salvador; BELTRÃO, Jane Felipe; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6647582671406048The Thesis was motivated by the rediscovery of Cidade Velhas district, in Belém, state of Pará, rediscovered by the authors childhood and the district as a memory space and landmarks for the risorgimento of Pará state. Analyze the concepts of patrimony in modern city, as though the mythic imaginary which lives in the citizens memory in tree stages: Pombal Colonization; the Belle Èpoque and the New Pará. The argumentation is constructed by actors narratives such as: old residents, new residents, business men, patrimony technician, so by the images reading which help to tell the districts history and to tell how is it saw as a heritage. The ethnographic method and the semiotic were the reading guides for the written spoken and visual materials, helping to the researchers position as an older habitant, architect and plastic artist. Drawing a map with the culture concepts in the Cidade Velhas district, since the residents point of view to the planers of Feliz Lusitânia Project, this work is as open view of the theme heritage in Cidade Velha, which revels contradiction between the definition of patrimony of the patrimony technician and the social groups.Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) Trabalho, códigos, gratidão e reciprocidade na prisão: um estudo de caso na Penitenciária Estadual de Parnamirim, no Estado do Rio Grande do Norte(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007) MOREIRA, Hélio Luiz Fonseca; LOUREIRO, Violeta Refkalefsky; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3092799127943216The main goal of this work is to analyze the meaning that the work assumes in the prision context, having like reference to penitentiary Public Parnamirim, located in state in the Rio Grande do Norte. This penitentiary was going created to be a socialization model, in the molds written in the Penal Executions Law. PEP it configures as a heterogeneous universe, marked for contradictions and conflicts subjective of the varieder orders, that is solved with base in the informal normative codes that govern the relations constituted between recluse, and between these and the leading team. In your everyday find power relations, founded in an instrumental rationality, but we also find sentimental relations, support in affectivity liaisons, gratitude and reciprocity. To board the meaning yhat the work assumes in PEP, we accomplish a fast incursion in the penitentiary constitution process in the modern society, without deepning, because in this incursion our goal is just to situate the reader in relation regarding the modern penitentiary roots. In the same direction elaborate a collapse portrait where finds the penitentiary system Brazilian for, soon after, come in by Statet do Rio Grande do Norte's penitentiary system and, finally, come in in the PEP to investigate the combination dynamics that allows the social places institution, the identities definition and the relative values existence to the normality and the behavior transgression.Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) Lamento e dor: uma análise sócio-antropológica do deslocamento compulsório provocado pela construção de barragens(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007) SANTOS, Sônia Maria Simões Barbosa Magalhães; HÉBETTE, Jean; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2510506955292935; TEISSERENC, Pierre; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9957120409952563The central idea developed in this work is that the studies carried through on the compulsory displacement provoked by the construction of dams, although mentioning the social dimension of the social suffering, do not submit that dimension to analysis. And, therefore, go round or displace the subjective sense expressed in the sorrow and pain, which is constituent to this social process. Taking as principle that the analyzed facts are socially shared and constructed, therefore carrying senses more or less lasting or more or less perceptible anyhow, publicized - that, at times, interact under the form of conflict, it is my goal to perform an analysis of the way these senses conform to three distinct and linked social situations. On the first one, the public arena, I analyze the controversy about the main classification categories for the compulsory displacement process, its contexts and main agents, trying to evidence the rhetorical construction fundamentals, in a dispute to make prevail a determined politic and social evaluation of this process. In this analysis, I emphasize the content that stabilizes itself and the intervention of one agent -the World Bank- and its role in the conformation of an expertise on the subject. In the second social situation, the academic universe, I analyze the current state of studies on the compulsory displacement, locating the main theoretical axes, in order to highlight the relation between the disciplinary and interpretative fields, mostly the hegemony of disciplinary subjects, amongst which the analysis of the suffering is not included. On the other hand, I outline that, thanks to the rigor of these analyses (many of ethnographic background), it is possible to find reference to the social suffering lived by the groups submitted to the compulsory relocating process, allowing me to fundament the hypothesis resulting of my own investigation. In the third, I analyze the process of compulsory displacement, from a research carried in Tucuruí, Pará state, Brazil, presenting the senses of social suffering evocated by those who lived it, pointing out: a) the absence of parameters to evaluate the consequences of the process lived, not only because it is an unusual situation as because the undertaking itself unchains other local and regional transformations that are not given a priori; b) the incessant search of a way to replace a situation lost or desired, that can be seen in public forums (assemblies, meetings, encounters), considered here as "sorrow forums", because they are, concomitantly, a place of public claim and spaces of encounter with their own history and, consequently, spaces for reminding and stating losses; c) the irreversible character, that lines the construction of social suffering. Finally, I try to show the constraints, above all economical, that are verified in the passing from the suffering dimension to the public arena.Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) Violência otélica: a agressão masculina nas relações conjugais(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007) SOUZA, Jaime Luiz Cunha de; BRITO, Daniel Chaves de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4547584911539063This paper is about violence on conjugal and affective relations; more precisely, on occurrences when man is the aggressor and women the victim. The main focus of our discussion is the aggressors’ motivation from the point of view of men involved in this type of violation. Our analysis concentrates on police investigation considered as domestic violence, after the approval of Maria da Penha bill . We tried to explain the social factors involved in the logical construction guiding the actions of the aggressor. Initially, we found that there is not an exact correspondence on the terms commonly used to denominate aggressions perpetrated against women and girls by husbands and boyfriends, which restricts the understanding of the real dimension of the problem. The results suggest that violence has a rationality which is given by its relation with tradition; as a result, it is tolerated and repeated with common sense knowledge, acting as a language resource through which all informal codes which serve as parameter for conjugal life are constantly being reaffirmed. It was found that there is a relation of completeness between the one who perpetrates the aggression and the person who suffers from it, specially in those cases in which violence has been installed as a routine; It was also verified that men’s aggression against wives are always related to values and roles traditionally established as: suspicion of conjugal infidelity, domestic hierarchy and social spaces.Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) Cientistas, visitantes e guias nativos na construção das representações de ciência e paisagem na Floresta Nacional de Caxiuanã(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007) BEZERRA, Maria das Graças Ferraz; ANTONAZ, Diana; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7547028254641362Study analysis scientific knowledge production process in a traditional knowledge setting at Caxiuanã National Forest, in Melgaço, Pará, Amazon, Brazil, where the Goeldi Museum maintains a scientific basis open for Brazilian and International researchers. The focus is on the relationship between scientists and native field guides considering both the environment where they work and the given academic system.Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) Sendo mãe, sendo pai: sexualidade, reprodução e afetividade entre adolescentes de grupos populares em Belém(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007-11-23) PANTOJA, Ana Lídia Nauar; MOTTA-MAUÉS, Maria Angélica; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7861116876230464This study it focuses the events related to the affective-sexual trajectories of young people (men and women) of popular layers, in its majority, students of a public school. Guided for an antropological look, the research contemplated beyond the 36 adolescents (24 women and 12 men), main interlocutors, pertaining people to its nets of relations in the family and the school, such as: mothers, aunts, sisters, grandmothers, godmothers, teachers and friends. The direct comment in the contexts of sociability of the group was increased of informal colloquies and the use of the field’s diary, having been carried through deepened individual interviews with the 36 participants. In the interior of the different trajectories analyzed here, the contexts and unfoldings of the pregnancy during the adolescence, the maternity and the paternity, the conflicts, the impasses, the arrangements, rearrangements and the nets of relations established around the mentioned events are pointed, in the scope of the family and the school. The cultural logics that preside over the affective-sexual experiences, informed, over all, for the sort gender differentiations are detached. The objective was to formulate the understanding, as next as possible translated in a interpretation to the cultural meanings attributed to the events for that they live deeply them.Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) A contribuição do pensamento de Emmanuel Mounier para uma reflexão ético-cristã-personalista da pessoa na contemporaneidade(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008) ABREU, Verônica do Couto; MENDONÇA, Kátia Marly Leite; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5325063796266136The present work explains the proposal of Mounier's social, political, christian and ethical philosophy leaded by his philosophical anthropology which mainstay is the Person conceived not only in it's personality - essential vocation of existence - but, overall, in it's comunitary dimension, social/political, transcedental and in the comprehension of the Person like a human being within another surrounding the idea of comunity as the social structure which best allows for Human Beings perform their relational natures. Within that proposal, I intend to discuss Mounier´s main ideas articulated with authors whose influenced directly Mounier's philosophy like Paul Louis Landsberg, Gabriel Marcel, Max Scheler and Paul Ricouer, going towards Buber's ideas, which some concepts of his thought have a big approximation with Mounier's main ideas. The essential elements of Mounier's ideas are the incorporated and incarnated existence in the world itself, comunication, vocation and freedom. Thus, the political model which would better support this kind of communinity is the proposal of a project based in a personalism, which social, political and economic structures are founded in the primacy of the person, above institutions, political or economic processes and which person is based in a comunitary being. The path to attain this model would be a permanet revolution, overall, a spiritual revolution, product of a social and economic decentralization wich would restructure society utterly.Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) Os herdeiros de Ananse: movimento negro, ações afirmativas, cotas para negros na universidade(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008) DEUS, Zélia Amador de; CAMPELO, Marilu Marcia; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8338592541775616Ananse, the metamorphosis in spider of Goddess Aranã, coming from fanthi-ashanti culture, of Benin Region, in East Africa, is shown, in this paper, as the symbol metaphor of the resistance actions carried out by the Africans and their descendents in the American continent, particularly in Brazil. This way, it presents an ethnographic report of the saga of Goddess Aranã’s heirs in their fight against racism. The structure of that narrative is alike to a Theater Auto in which the antagonist character is the Racism, and the protagonist is Ananse’s heirs. The composition of that narrative starts with the assumption that the several cultures brought by the protagonist had a crucial importance in encouraging the African and their heirs’ fight, face to the wit of an antagonist capable of wearing, in time and space, many persons (masks) to confuse and weaken the protagonist speeches. However, the protagonist is also very smart in weaving his webs. Upon elaborating that narrative, the webs created by that character are recovered in order to insert, in the official Brazilian agenda the recognition of the existence of racism and racial discrimination in the society, and the state affirmative action policies, mainly, the use of the quota system to Negroes at the University. The fight is a narrative with epic characteristics which favors the role of string/action Negro movement.Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) Um dizer que fala de vida e morte: revelações e silêncios na comunicação sobre o diagnóstico do câncer(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008) SALGADO, Ana Cristina Soeiro; MAUÉS, Raymundo Heraldo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0915136632611666One of the problems faced by physicians in their practice with cancer patients refers to the dilemmas related to communication about the illness, especially because of the associations still present in the social imagination about death and suffering, which gives an important symbolic dimension to diagnosis. Interpreted as a social construct, the theme of cancer diagnosis is analyzed from the perspective of Brazilian physicians, at Ophir Loyola Hospital, a state public cancer hospital in Pará, north of Brazil, including a total of 20 informants, who agreed to take part in interviews focused on diagnosis communication, including disclosure of diagnosis and other information related to the diagnosis. Through a socio-anthropological approach, different variables are analyzed, including those related to the physician, the patient, the family and the illness, which enables comprehension and integration of the discourse in its social context, including some differences between public and private practice. Data suggest the physician-patient interaction is influenced by class condition, with its socio-historical and cultural determinant. This makes communicating diagnosis a complex phenomenon, aggravated by the limited access to health services, which contributes towards the great amount of patients who arrive at the hospital with no chances of cure. The results indicate that influence of the family on medical decision-making is determinant to the limits of information related to cancer diagnosis, including disclosure of diagnosis and prognosis. Hopelessness is frequently mentioned as a reason for non-disclosure, especially in advanced stages of cancer, with a progressive silence as the illness worsens.Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) Brincar é coisa séria?: um estudo do brinquedo na cultura da modernidade(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-01) PORTO, Íris Maria Ribeiro; LOUREIRO, Violeta Refkalefsky; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3092799127943216This study searches toys as material and symbolic culture members aiming to discuss changes and meanings in modern culture before globalization of cultural industry. It focus this discussion in four categories of toys: traditional, industrial, regional and virtual, that nowadays make the act of playing. It is based on the affirmative that modern playing is fluid, quick and dislocated. People are only consumers in modern culture because toys are related to the things that happen in society, its beliefs, ideology, habits, ethics and system of language and values. So there is a disillusion about the world that operates in childhood through the toys. Children have in their hands an image that allows actions and manipulations in consonance with the representations suggested by industries of cultural possessions. It shows toys in this modern culture as a product and its images, senses and symbols are reflections of the perception of society about childhood. This study was done in São Luís, Maranhão, aiming to get the changes between two kinds of economical situations, parents of four different groups, shopkeepers and artisans. It is a qualitative research. Its results shows that toys nowadays have potential to seduce people to consume them, with senses and functions to fit all different places; therefore toys faces the problem of managing local and global characteristics. This study concludes that modern culture has brought loss and profit to the act of playing in the transition of the handiwork pattern to the industry work. It also concludes that changes we see in toys in the last four decades of the twentieth century are not restricted to them, but are restricted to a system that has been established and implies in changes in popular children’s culture, and moreover in the places of children in modern culture.Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) Um toque de voyeurismo: o diário íntimo de Couto de Magalhães (1880-1887)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-04-25) HENRIQUE, Márcio Couto; BELTRÃO, Jane Felipe; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6647582671406048This work intends to analyze the intimate diary of José Vieira Couto de Magalhães, wellknown Brazilian politician and scholar from the second half of the 19th century, as an ethnographic registration which informs about top issues of that time and simultaneously stresses the efforts of an individual in order to build a coherent personality, although the diary presents itself rather incomplete. By conceiving a private diary as a cultural practice of shaping oneself’s personality, it is discussed the effect of truth present in this kind of writing and the implications of its usage in the Social Sciences. The most manifest themes along the diary are discussed: body, health and disease. As a writer about himself, Couto de Magalhães, highlights concern about body education and activities practiced by his contemporary fellow men. Since he was interested on the ideal of hygienic and bourgeois family, typical in the 19th century, it is evoked themes like homosexuality, dreams, marriage and medicine. The diary shows the author’s awareness related to the search of balance between body and mind, in order to allow him reach his ideal of self-control, besides the attempt to develop and forecast a self-image to the future.Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) Mulheres migrantes na Transamazônica: construção da ocupação e do fazer política(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-08-23) SILVA, Maria Ivonete Coutinho da; ANTONAZ, Diana; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7547028254641362Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) Benedictu Placere: uma campanha na Amazônia Paraense(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-09-10) FERNANDES, Daniel dos Santos; MOTTA-MAUÉS, Maria Angélica; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7861116876230464This work is an anthropological analysis starting from the relationship author/text of the literature said fictional, taking in consideration the author's course and of the work in the social field, what could be confused with a study of literary critic, of more sociological complexion. This last one could take us to, for instance, a study of literary genders, analysis of the use of the literary language, and their uses inside of a certain social-historical moment. However, all those shades don't get to break with the vision of the literature that leaves of the creative individuality, taking us to a naive apprehension of the literary text. We will use the literary text as one more instrument of which the man makes use to try to understand their time. Placing the literary text starting from the characteristics that ratify the bookkeeping of a literary text in its time-space. Then, we will analyze the author's course, Benedicto Monteiro, one of intellectuals in Amazon, starting from his literary texts “Verdevagomundo”, “O minossauro”, “A terceira margem” e “Aquele um”, called Amazonian tetralogy making an against-point with his autobiographical text Transtempo and his speeches in reports author/agent-subject of research/author, seeking the probable mediations, also built in other social spaces, that can turn this author a more way of reading the decade of 70 in the Century XX, moment disturbed in Brazil and of the military government's intense incursion in the Amazon, that in Benedicto Monteiro's text is punctuated in the Amazônia Paraense, Baixo-Amazonas.Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) Atravessando fronteiras: viagem rumo à saúde tradicional(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009) NOBRE, Angélica Homobono; BELTRÃO, Jane Felipe; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6647582671406048The work aims at traditional health and proposes the research of knowledge and practice of traditional healthcare practitioners who apply body techniques to heal those who seek help. Conducted in two separate locations – Icoaraci District in Belém Metropolitan Area and in Chipaiá village in Cachoeira do Arari municipality in Marajó Island, both in the Brazilian Amazon – study explores the social construction of traditional healthcare practices as symbolic-magic and social element. Research methods involved observation and open interviews of/with eight different practitioners, four in each location, to understand and deepen knowledge on a popular massage practice named “puxação” which belongs to the Traditional Healthcare System (STAS). Study discusses concepts of creed, myth and symbolic representation in traditional knowledge; the way rituals are conducted and how such practices contribute to the social construction of traditional health practitioners; concepts of health and disease according to STAS understanding; the relationship between healing practices and the social system. Analysis also presents the interrelation between two different rituals Alma Mater massage in Portuguese, “puxação-da-mãe-do-corpo“ and Pregnant Massage “puxação de barriga-cheia” unique STAS practices, their importance for women´s health as well as their influence on the Western Healthcare System (SOAS).Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) Da fala das ruas à fala dos tribunais: a retórica jurídica e seus impactos nas relações sociais(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009) FRANCO, Evanilde Gomes; LOUREIRO, Violeta Refkalefsky; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3092799127943216This work presents the universe of legal language from the point of view of the semiotics of law. It brings up the analysis and the formulations of the argumentative aspects involved in law rhetorical themes aimed at showing how the argumentative force of legal speech establishes a kind of social tension starting from the relations among the various components of legal language which can be found in legitimation, neutralization, domination, and delimitation of the order created by the state. The research is an analysis of discourse and rhetoric in the light of rationality and the fundamentation that comes to the legitimation developed by state law. A rigorous exam of prosecution data was collected in order to discuss the actions of the Courts of justice in Pará. There was also the use of some interviews with authorities in this area. The references were those of contradictions between the system of law rationality and the way it is actually used in the legal domain, it identifies the connection between democracy and the state of law, all included in legal speech which can bring judicial system near the common citizen or push them apart.Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) “A gente tem uma vida lá fora...”: relações entre gestão de recursos humanos e sociabilidade das pessoas empregadas nos supermercados da Região Metropolitana de Belém(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009-05-04) GONÇALVES, Ida Lenir Maria Pena; MANESCHY, Maria Cristina Alves; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5129734199358770The management of human resources (HR) represents a theorical approach of business management focused on organization of work to its best advantages and, in particular, the involvement of employees in the aims of the company. The management practices focus not only on the work itself, but also in complex way in social interactions occurred in the workplace, as well in the personal life of workers, in accordance with the assumptions and practices of the prevailing style f management. This work demand to know the nature of the correlations between management of human resources and sociability of workers, videlicet, their ability to make and keep various social ties, form the point of view of workers. To reach these aims, was taken as empirical reference four networks supermarkets from the urban region of Belém, Pará. This sector is a great employer, and has been modernized significantly in the last two decades, implementing some procedures in managements of humans resources and remains under strong competition from national and international groups that found in other capitals of the country. The methodology includes systematic observations, document analysis, general interview guide approach and deep-standardized open-ended interview, respectively with three hundred and eighty and fourteen workers, this last ones selected among those in the larger sample. The interviews versed about social and demographic attributes, occupational and career patterns of professional and personal relationship. Covered, too, the perceptions about rules and attitudes into workplace, based on the standards of the service manuals of business. This includes thirty-four items on a scale of Lickert. These items were arranged in factors, two on the management—quality of work (QW) and introjections of organizational standards (OS)—and three on sociability—trust, maintenance and usefulness of relations (UR) at work. The interviewed answered to items, adjusting the degree of their perception of each. These data were submitted to exploratory statistical technique Correspondence Analyses (CA) in order to verify the correlation between the factors of scale and characteristics of respondents. About the correlations between management and sociability, excel in first the work scheme. Long days of work, variables scale. Long daily breaks and the policy of in-service qualification (on the job) absorb nearly the entire time the employee to maintain personal relations and hinder or even extend those trained in the work environment beyond this space. Also hinder invest in studies, another area of sociability, what surprises in a sample whose predominant age range did not exceed thirty years and whose occupation has little chance of career. In this framework of restrictions, the condition of gender and family were relevant, because women, in particular mothers, reported less leisure activities, in little groups and with minimal presence of workmates, compared to men. Furthermore, we found some cases of people which made affective relationships into the workplace, even the coexistence is restricted to the company. Another striking feature was the dependence on family support for the exercise of labor activity and to face the vicissitudes of the labor market. The importance of family ties was reinforced by the long time of residence in the same neighborhood and, in significant proportion, in the same home, in several cases the housing was close or in the same house of parents or parents-in-law, facilitating the mutual aid. Another aspect that stood out the management of human resources was the perceived vagueness in the criteria for professional growth and application of standards, contributing to the existence of conflicts veil. To establish social ties, the employees place a selective trust, expressed in a few people who are confident in the work. It is worth noting here also a small variation between men and women, because men trust more than women in their workmates. The Correspondence Analysis showed sensitive differences of perception on quality of work and introjections of rules among workers with the first record in the labor book and those with previous experience in a formal work. The first notice a more effective control (surveillance) of management and express less agreement with organizational rules, while the others (the second) do not realize the control as the same way and is seen as complying with these rules. These results were interpreted as arising from different previous trajectories, in formal or informal labors, or because it is the first job. Cannot be said that the restrictions on sociability are due exclusively to characteristics of management in this sector, in view the incidence of another factors, as the social-economic condition of the family or the time of employment, on average two years among the respondents, which may have contributed to these results.Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) A violência desnuda: justiça penal e pistolagem no Pará(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010) GUIMARÃES, Ed Carlos de Sousa; BARP, Wilson José; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6546508090587542This thesis examines the violent practice of gunmen system in Pará and discusses the selectivity of criminal justice of Para in the face of such conflicts that always culminate with the physical elimination of the victims or result in life on hold the „sworn to die‟, people involved with the land question in Para (pastoral agents, wives and children of rural leaders killed, among others) and they suffer constant death threats by farmers, landowners, loggers and gunmen. It develops from „two major work areas‟: the first throws light on the violence built into the gunmen, then to understand how social relations between gunmen, principals, intermediaries and bring to life the victims of the crimes of command and the latter, in turn, is to discuss the selectivity of the agencies of power involved in the criminalization of the weaker social stratus on one side, and immunization of the criminal actions of the most powerful segments of society on the other. This second front work seeks to explain the impunity in the murders under orders sought by the criminal Para, understood as a set of agencies of power, such as the Civil Police, Prosecutors and the Judiciary.Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) O embate entre o visível e o invisível: a construção social da violência no jornalismo e na política(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010) COSTA, Alda Cristina Silva da; BARP, Wilson José; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6546508090587542This research aims to examine the use made of violence as a social problem in journalistic and political contexts, from articles published in the Jornal Nacional, from Rede Globo and in political speeches of the candidates for president, Geraldo Alckmin (PSDB ) and Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT), on the electoral timetable, here called television campaign, on the elections of 2006. As the main methodological contributions have been used the analysis tools of hermeneutics and frameworks (frame analysis), with the intention of revealing this focus on the violence and make a theoretical reflection on this social problem in the "post-media", a term known in this research as to the process of exacerbation of the media and its insertion as an institution that builds the sense of reality to people's lives. Television news and the election campaign, tested in August, September and October 2006, were taken as important programs of references the social construction of reality. It appears that there is a superficiality and homogenization in the treatment of this social problem.Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) Ocultar e preservar: a saga da civilidade em São Luís do Maranhão(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010) CAMÊLO, Júlia Constança Pereira; MENDONÇA, Kátia Marly Leite; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5325063796266136The thesis approachs the city of São Luis of Maranhão in the end nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Analyzes aspects of the imaginarium about the town located on an island and that see itself integrated into the mainland, the country and Europe. It discusses the prospect of American civilization from the thought of Rodó, Fecundo, Manoel Bonfim, Leopoldo Zea and the way the residents of São Luis sought recognition of the city as owner of civility. Analyzes how the people of São Luis – the “ludovicensis” - dealt with the marks of slavery like evidence of barbarism, and as the thought of the nineteenth century, should be eradicated. Approach the process that turned the popular manifestation “bumba meu boi” into a symbol of the culture of the city, before something barbaric, condemned the suburb of the island. It shows that preservation observed in the photo albums of the town was ???"fronts"??? , but safeguarded mansions of the nineteenth century and provided a new classification of São Luis as the fifth city in Brazil to receive the title of World Heritage Sites, a return, a new insert, a highlight among the cities. The analysis was performed from iconographic sources, maps, literature, and newspapers.Tese Acesso aberto (Open Access) Amazônia, projeto desenvolvimentista, dissimulação e barbárie(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010) PONTE, Zuleide Pamplona Ximenes; LOUREIRO, Violeta Refkalefsky; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3092799127943216This work is a thesis about the regional development project of Brazilian 1964 dictatorship, specifically about the Amazon region and in the period called as the Nova República (1986-1989). The text discusses the dissimulation conceptual basis of this regional development project to barbarian notions that characterized the region during the so-called Regional Development Projects such as the hydroelectric of Tucuruí, Brazil and its impacts on the period.
