Agostinho de Souza Moreira, comandante dos rios Guamá e Capim: trajetória de uma liderança cabana do interior da Amazônia (1829-1837)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-03-14) NASCIMENTO, Wesley David Silva do; RICCI, Magda Maria de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4368326880097299
This dissertation analyzes the trajectory of Agostinho de Souza Moreira, a leader from the interior of Grão-Pará in the early years of Cabanagem (1835-1836). Through the research around this subject, this work aims to address the unfolding of the hut war in the Capim and Guamá rivers, which comprises the parishes of São Domingos da Boa Vista and São Miguel da Cachoeira, and the village of Ourém; in addition to exerting influence in the town of Bragança and in the place of Viseu. In these locations, Agostinho Moreira acted as General Commander with the responsibility of legitimizing the authority of the cabano government in the region. Previously, this guy had stints in the City Council, the Ordinary Court and the National Guard, which allowed him to meet many people, the supervision of the region's production, in addition to the local geography. Historically marked by escapes, by the action of the mocambos, indigenous resistance and military desertions, this region known as the middle of the road between Pará and Maranhão was convulsed in many struggles led by these peoples, who fought for better living conditions and their freedoms, during the 1820s. Thus, from 1836 onwards, when Cabanagem began to radicalize to the interior of Pará, Agostinho Moreira secured notoriety for having control of a region that held the necessary goods for a war economy that threatened the control of the interprovincial authorities who armed themselves heavily in the hunt for the cabano leader. In this sense, we will present the region of Agostinho Moreira's activity marked by crossings and refuges. And then we will analyze his trajectory in search of a place in local power until his rise as a cabano leader, highlighting his organization, his war strategies and his escapes during the anticabana repression. We did this through the search for documentary traces that would lead us to Agostinho Moreira found in letters and correspondence exchanged between authorities, terms of council, and newspaper reports that circulated in the Empire, using the methodology of the indiciary paradigm to identify the action of the amocambados and indigenous people in the period of greatest radicality of the Cabana war.

This dissertation aims to explore the history of rain in the city of Belém, in the period from 1890 to 1922, with a specific focus on the influence that this natural phenomenon had on certain groups and the city itself. To achieve this, it examines the interest of various social actors in rain in Belém throughout the 19th century, but primarily in the final years of this century and the early 20th century. This includes the observations made by naturalist travelers who visited the region and observed the rain phenomenon, as well as the insights of memoirists and geographers. The work of naturalist Emilio Goeldi in collecting meteorological data is also highlighted, exploring how the study of rain was related to politics and Goeldi's public image, and how this interest became a significant part of scientific research in the region. This dissertation also focuses on the practical implications of rain in the daily lives of Belém's inhabitants. It examines how rain affected the relationship between the population, the Municipal Intendency, and nature, with an emphasis on attempts to address the population's demands regarding rain, especially in terms of urban transformations that have impacted and continue to affect the city and its residents. The influence of newspapers as mediators between the population and the government regarding rain-related issues is also explored, revealing how the media played a significant role in shaping public opinion and government actions. In conclusion, this dissertation delves into the importance of rain as a complex and multifaceted topic in Belém's history during the studied period, considering its impact on the scientific, political, and social spheres of the city.

Da anistia à redemocratização: o processo de esquecimento da 5ª Companhia de Guardas
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-07-10) COSTA, Carolina Silva da; PETIT, Pere; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8376409779394321; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8970-3073
When talking about the dictatorship of 1964-1985, one goes back to a sensitive past, laden with memories and traumas that persist in power struggles, installed in the democratic process in Brazil since Law nº 314/1967 on National Security, passing through Law 6,683/1979 from Amnesty to the current historic buildings. Understanding and knowing the speeches and characters whose past lived is a study developed by researchers of the history of the present time, as well as problematizing the memory that permeates through subjective and also physical fields - the museums - places of memories brought by Nora (1988). Those spaces whose purpose is to remember, however, when they create a gap of forgetfulness, it becomes paradoxical, making it necessary to provoke historiographical constructions with regard to the dictatorial period. In this way, the methodology with bibliographical analysis was used in articles, books and productions, which cited the 5th Company of Guards as a place of prison, today Museum of Contemporary, Modern Art and photos, or House of Eleven Windows, located in the neighborhood of Cidade Old woman in Belém–PA. Museum that makes up one of the formative spaces of Happy Lusitânia, the set of heritage revitalized and resignified within the project that aims to publicize the first contacts of the European colonizer and the natives. House of Eleven Windows, in its chronological functions, served as the home of Domingos Bacelar, then as a Military Hospital and a space for the collection of testimonies and incarcerations of subversives in the 20th century, the 5th Company of Guards and finally the Museum. However, the point of discussion of this research is that in its current curatorial proposal, its repressive past is not disclosed, leaving the visitor out of tune with the real history contained in general, since not even all passivity passed on actually occurred in this space. Therefore, gathering in this research a historiographical base of names identified as subversive, in their actions within the resistance and that were sent to provide clarifications in the 5th Company of Guards, is the objective of this research, with the intention of provoking the sensitive memory in opposition to the speeches implanted by the silence and oblivion built in the building.

The dynamics that are found in the trajectory of the cities present them as elements in constant transformation, effervescence, movements, interruptions and continuities that (re)write themselves as the time goes by. Such scenario can be found in the city of Belém, capital of the state of Pará, which, in the period between 1870 and 1914, inserts itself in the period called Belle Époque, when significant changes occurred, which marked the trajectory of the city and of the people that lived in it towards the modernity that was materializing from the 19th century to the 20th century. In this scenario, there’s a significant flux of European immigrants that moved to the Amazon region, mainly, in the case of this study, of Portuguese people. In this context, this thesis has the goal of understanding the trajectory of Joaquim Antonio de Amorim (Viscount of Monte Redondo), Antonio José Antunes Sobrinho (Viscount of Penedo) and Bernardo Antonio Nunes (Viscount of Nazaré), who stablished themselves at the capital of Pará during the heyday of the rubber market. A diversified theoretical basis was used, which gave support to the construction of the trajectory of these individuals, as well carrying out documental and iconographic research, based on newspapers and official sources, such as reports, testimonies, inventories in institutions with collections that collaborated with this work. The results showed that such subjects had relevant roles in the socioeconomical dynamic of Belém, got involved with cultural, structural and sanitary changes of the city, which brought them to economical and sociopolitical prosperity. They left marks in the city and in the Portuguese community, thus, this thesis reveals the importance of these people to the existing Portuguese community in Pará and to the other people that transited in the Amazon city between the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.

De professores civis a oficiais militares: experiências sociais de militares temporários para o magistério na Força Aérea Brasileira (2011-2019)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-08-31) GAUDÊNCIO, Sandra Letícia Magalhães; NUNES, Francivaldo Alves; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4125313573133140
This dissertation analyzes the temporary hiring process of teachers as Military Officers, considering the demands related to basic education in a militarized structure. The objective is to understand the process of training and performance of temporary military officers summoned to the teaching staff (teaching and pedagogy) of the Brazilian Air Force - FAB, between the years 2011 and 2019, at Colégio Tenente Rêgo Barros (CTRB). Therefore, it is relevant to understand the daily training of these temporary officers, “the swabs” and the dynamics of a “military spirit” whose scope was determined by internal social relations. The hypotheses raised are that the various experiences of social subjects, men and women who worked in this area, permeated through strangeness, resistance, mediation, conflicts that begin from the selection process to the performance in the CTRB. With regard to the sources, the relevance of orality is highlighted based on the use of the technique of interviews, authorized and recorded through google meet, made with the temporary Officers, their memories and forgetfulness, as well as official documents, newspapers, magazines and photographs. We will seek to understand the entry process of civilian teachers in 2011 who became temporary military and are professionals in the area of Teaching and Pedagogy, considering the demands aimed at teaching in a welfare school and the profile of the professionals who sought to reach summoned and formed for a temporary “career” in the Brazilian Air Force-FAB, the so-called 2nd class Reserve Officers Squad Convocados - QOCON.

As faces do sindicalismo cutista no Pará: a trajetória e os embates internos da Central Única dos Trabalhadores (CUT) (1980-1990)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-04-12) SOUZA, Caio de Lucas Oliveira; PETIT, Pere; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8376409779394321; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8970-3073
This dissertation discusses aspects of the Central Única dos Trabalhadores (CUT) in Pará and its trajectory. Additionally, it analyzes the actions of different union segments through documentary research in periodicals such as Resistência, as well as institutional documentation from the CUT itself and accounts from unionists which were involved during its state-building process. The moment when the CUT was founded was characterized as one of the driving forces behind its formation, given the political “ardent” that emerged at the time, along with the formulation of new ideas, such as the advent of the new unionism, which was equally unique in this context. The period studied has been targeted from the late 1970s, through the 1980s until the 1990s. Thus, the dissertation has looked for analyzing the action, performance, and strategies from different political union which existed before and after the foundation of the CUT, giving emphasis on the clashes of it in the central.

A formação da ARENA e do MDB paraenses: cultura política e Ditadura Militar na Amazônia (1964 – 1970)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-12-14) MATOS, Flávio William Brito; FONTES, Edilza Joana Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9447513031256372
The objective of this master’s thesis is to understand – based on party political trajectories – how the political frameworks of the National Renewal Alliance (ARENA) and the Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB) were formed and constituted in Pará. Two axes guide the analysis of this trajectory: the concept of political culture used by historian Rodrigo Motta and the discourse on the locus where this political action takes place, the Amazon. The time frame of the research begins with the collapse of the democratic government in 1964, still in a multi-party environment, and ceases with the effects of Institutional Act Number 5 (AI-5), the moment in which the closure of the Legislative Assembly of the State of Pará (ALEPA) was decreed. A wide range of written and oral documentary sources were used, particularly the Annals of the Legislative Assembly, the Arthur Viana Public Library newspapers, and information from the National Information Service now retained in the National Archives. As conclusions of this work, the continuity in political arrangements before and after the military coup is highlighted, even on the part of militaries who were theoretically newcomers to politics. The role of the political class in building social consensus around Military Governments stands out. And, finally, the hypothesis of the discourse on the Amazon as a mechanism of understanding negotiations and political accommodations within the state is presented.

Honrarias e mercadorias: os principais indígenas e a formação de alianças na vila de Barcelos (1755-1765)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2025-02-26) BORGES, Ricardo dos Santos; GUZMÁN, Décio Marco Antônio de Alencar; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0656841754619406; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3219-4404
The honors and the merchandises defined the way in which the relations of alliances between the main indigenous people and the Portuguese were configured in the Rio Negro during the second half of the eighteenth century, a period in which the region underwent profound changes as a result of the Pombaline reforms and the geopolitical conflicts on the borders of the Northwest Amazon. In view of this, the present dissertation aims to analyze the role of the concessions of honors and the negotiations of goods in the formation of alliances with the main indigenous people in the village of Barcelos, between 1755 and 1765. Through the analysis of the official documentation and the specialized bibliography, we sought to verify how the advances of the urban projects that aimed to reform the entire urban network of the territory of the village of Mariuá to consolidate it into the village of Barcelos and capital of the Captaincy of São José do Rio Negro, led the Principals to become the primary agents in the intermediation of the descents and the control of the indigenous labor exploited in this work front, which led the Portuguese to use honorific titles and colonial objects again as essential strategies in establishing alliances with such authority figures. In the wake of this process, we sought to ascertain the role of the granting of honors in the maintenance of indigenous alliances and the performance of colonial leaders, under the honorific title of Principal, in administrative and military functions and in the management of indigenous labor within the colonial space of Barcelos, as well as in independent trade relations. Then, we also analyzed the bargaining of merchandises that aimed to conquer the alliances of the Principals considered influential among the natives they led and indispensable in the middle of the descents to the village. The hypothesis that is intended to be based in this work is that the concessions of honors and the negotiations of merchandises, basic in the formation of alliances with the Principals from the Portuguese perspective, strengthened the political authority of these native leaders both in the colonial village of Barcelos and in the indigenous world located on the Rio Negro.

A imprensa ilustrada: uma análise das representações fotográficas em Belém (1910-1920)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-04-25) GOMES, Rodrigo Neves; LACERDA, Franciane Gama; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1007392320101957
The research aims to analyze photographs published in newspapers and other printed matter such as albums and magazines that circulated through the city of Belém-PA, in the first decades of the twentieth century. The main newspapers of the period, such as Estado do Pará, Província do Pará and Folha do Norte, started to bring portraits of people and the urban space that accompanied the articles, helping in the understanding and in the idea of credibility of the news transmitted. Many of these photos showed aspects of the city that were different from the way the capital of Pará was represented in the heyday of latex exports. Thus, the images published in the periodicals highlight other angles of the city. Therefore, the dissertation discusses how the representations of some urban aspects of Belém and its residents recorded through photographs, help us to understand the economic, political and social context in which these productions were published, during the so-called rubber crisis.

The aim of this master's thesis was to analyze the ongoing struggle for the agrarian reform in southeastern Pará, using the newspaper O Grito da PA 150: Terra e Liberdade as its main source. The alternative newspaper was published by the Diocese of Marabá (PA) between 1980 and 1987, and was one of the main voices in this period of information, mobilization and political training for rural workers. Because of its content in favor of agrarian reform during the transition process from the military dictatorship (1964-1985) to the country's New Republic, O Grito da PA 150 ended up arousing the hatred and persecution of farmers, jagunços, civil and military authorities who were active in the region. However, this didn't stop the alternative newspaper from continuing to publicize the conflicts and mobilize the peasants in campaigns for agrarian reform, in the Assembly of the People of God, Neighbourhood Associations, Basic Ecclesial Communities (CEBs), Trade Union Oppositions and in the parties opposing the dictatorship. In addition to analyzing the O Grito da PA 150 and the specialized bibliography on the subject, other sources of interest for the development of the research were inserted, such as hemerographic sources (newspapers and magazines), documentation produced by the National Information Service (SNI), judicial documents, bulletins, booklets, minutes of meetings, letters and oral reports.

A “máquina para o melhoramento da navegação” de João Francisco de Madureira Pará: a engenhosa história de uma fraude (1825-1832)

The present work aims to comprehend and elucidate the manufacturing process of the “Machine for the Improvement of Navigation” by the inventor João Francisco de Madureira Pará from the perspective of the cartography of controversies and the Actor-Network Theory. Having as a guiding principle the writings published by Madureira Pará, thus making the inventor the protagonist of this work. And seeking to map the sociotechnical network that was formed around his “Machine” initially in Portugal, but with greater emphasis on the period in which he worked on his invention in Rio de Janeiro, between the years 1825 and 1832, this work takes into account the social and political context in the two kingdoms, the particular interests and the scientific understanding of the inventor, the time and the formation of antagonistic groups that, due to the discovery of new sources, forced us to review the life trajectory of Madureira Pará. Therefore, and with a more careful analysis of his writings, we ended up discovering that the “ingenious inventor”, as he was considered by some historians and researchers, was, someone who, through a very well-elaborated fraud, deceived the imperial government of Brazil, especially Emperor Pedro I, with the promise of a “revolutionary machine of navigation” that never existed. The description of the controversies in which the “inventor” was involved allowed us not only to discover the fraud, but also showed us, from its relationship, how the First Reign dealt with issues related to the scientific development of the Empire that, still guided by old charters published by D. João VI, failed to realize that Madureira Pará, was really very “ingenious”, except to manufacture his “great invention”.

The dissertation discusses corruption in the elections in the Province of Grão-Pará, in relation to the functioning of the electoral process in Brazil, highlighting how fraud occurred in the system. The work seeks to understand corruption in the political, social and economic context of the seventies and eighties of the 19th centuries, showing how the intense political-party disputes intensified debates and accusations. The aim is to contextualize the process of corruption within the electoral system and, according to the situation experienced in the years 1870-1881, within the Empire and the province, showing the existence of fraud and irregularities, as well as how nineteenth-century man viewed these acts and acted in the face of them, which required an analysis of the legislation in force and the Political Constitution of the Empire, with necessary considerations on citizenship, education and inequality. The methodology adopted was based on empirical research into newspapers, letters and reports by provincial presidents within the time frame of the work, located in the National Library, the National Library's Digital Hemeroteca, the Arthur Viana Library, as well as the University of Chicago's website, where the presidents' reports are digitized, in order to find information on political and governmental corruption. After analyzing and processing the sources collected, the discussion was synthesized, focusing on the electoral field, given the number of documents collected on corruption and fraud in elections. In this way, the aim of the study was achieved, which was to debate corruption in the electoral process, within the selected time frame, contextualizing the analysis with current social, political and economic issues, revealing a broader and more detailed understanding of Brazilian democracy and the political history of the province.

Missionação e negócios jesuíticos: acumulação de bens na capitania do Grão-Pará. (1653-1759)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-09-27) RIBEIRO, Luana Melo; SOUZA JUNIOR, José Alves de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0493030136179246
The work of the Society of Jesus in the catechesis of native populations in colonial areas has always provoked controversy with other religious orders, with colonial authorities and with residents, generating conflicts that at times reached high levels of radicalization. Aware of their evangelizing mission, the Jesuits soon realized that they could not depend on the resources of the Padroado and on the alms of their benefactors for the success of their salvationist policy. In this sense, they became involved in colonial business, developing the most diverse economic activities, such as cattle raising, collection and production of drugs from the sertão, mortgaging, renting of lands and real estate, etc., constituting an expressive material patrimony. In colonial Pará it was no different. The Society of Jesus became a serious economic competitor of the residents, and this was aggravated by the privilege it received from the Portuguese Crown for exemption from the payment of tithes. In addition, the Portuguese indigenist legislation granted the Company of Jesus the exclusivity of the distribution of indigenous labor among the residents and the colonial authorities, which generated a fierce dispute over the control of the labor force. This dissertation intends to analyze the practice of the mission developed by the Order and its relation with Jesuit business, starting from the assumption that they constituted a contradictory unity, which cost the Jesuits numerous conflicts with the other segments of the colonial society of Paraense, fed and sharpened the anti-Jesuitical sentiment, culminating in the expulsion of the Order, first of Pará and after Portugal and all its dominions.

Paulo Maranhão x Magalhães Barata: censuras, intervenções e políticas no Pará durante a Era Vargas (1930-1945)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-02-28) LIMA, Marcos Bezerra; PETIT, Pere; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8376409779394321; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8970-3073
This dissertation aims to analyze the political clash between journalist Paulo Maranhão (1872-1966) and military officer Magalhães Barata (1888-1959) between 1930 and 1945, the period known as the Vargas Era. The main objective was to analyze the various mechanisms used by the two individuals to obtain, recover and maintain power in various areas of Pará society. Paulo Maranhão used the tools of journalism to attack Magalhães Barata, who had twice served as Pará’s federal interventor. In turn, Magalhães Barata relied on the state apparatus to defend himself and attack one of his main opponents, contributing to a dynamic of political disputes between the two that lasted almost 30 years. The research was divided into three phases: the initial phase referring to Magalhães Barata’s first stint in power (1930-1935); the second phase referring to the period in which the military politician was away from Pará (1936-1942); and finally, the third phase directed at Magalhães Barata’s return for his second term (1943-1945). Using contributions linked to the New Political History and its reformulations of various objects of analysis, including the media, I found that Paulo Maranhão used the newspaper Northern Leaf for his political agendas and disagreements, including the one against Magalhães Barata. In this way, the political nature of printed media and their power to intervene in the social dynamics of the period became a reality. As a result of the means used by both, it was possible to see episodes of violence, censorship, journalistic articles aimed at political attacks, among many other events, presented and analyzed during the three chapters of this dissertation. Based on a qualitative analysis of the sources, it was possible to work with some documentary poles for the construction of the research. I checked the documents in the Public Archives of the State of Pará (APEP), which refer to the relationships played out by members of the public authorities, be it Magalhães Barata himself or state departments. Another important collection of documents is in the Arthur Vianna Public Library, referring to the periodicals in the proposed section, such as of State of Pará and the Official State Diary, but mainly copies of the periodical Nothern Leaf, a newspaper run by Paulo Maranhão. Other sets of documents were used to a lesser extent, such as books published at the time which are in the rare works sector of the Arthur Vianna Public Library, newspapers available in the National Library’s Digital Hemeroteca, among other documents used during the work.

O poder simbólico das “bugigangas”: índios e regatões na província do Pará (Século XIX)

This research seeks to understand how was established the exchange activity between regatões (Amazon river traders) and the Indians of the province of Pará, during the second half of the nineteenth century. I analyze these relationships at a time when the imperial government sought many ways to get control over the indigenous, so the relationship between them and the traders settled amid disputes of interests, which largely contributed to put regatões as the ones who deceive the Indians and these Indians, therefore, the deceived ones. Through it all, this study seeks to understand the dynamics of exchanges between indigenous and regatões, their interests, conflicts and alliances.

A política faroleira na costa Norte-Atlântica do Brasil: sinalização, segurança e vigilância a partir dos faróis de Salinas e Bragança - Pará (1852-1890)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-02-29) LIMA, Matheus Gomes de; FARIAS, William Gaia; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2553754490715388
This project aims to understand lighthouse policy on the Brazilian North-Atlantic Coast, based on the creation of the old lighthouse in Salinas, PA, and the Bragança lighthouse, analyzing the performance of lighthouses and, in a broader sense, the Navy during the decades from 1850 to 1880. The period is demarcated by issues that directly affected Brazilian navigation and society, such as the Eusébio de Queirós Law of 1850 and the opening of the Amazon River to foreign vessels in 1866. The research will seek to answer questions raised regarding surveillance on the North Atlantic Coast, in Grão-Pará, where the naval force played a fundamental role against the trafficking of Africans and unauthorized foreign entry, in addition to guaranteeing the safety of navigation. Therefore, the role of lighthouses in the Empire was extremely important, as it represented the Navy's vigilant eyes on the Atlantic coast and compliance with the measures taken by the Empire in relation to England's international anti-slavery pressure. In addition to the issue of trafficking, I will work on opening rivers in the Amazon to vessels from friendly nations, sizing up the lighthouse policy and the individuals who depended on signaling and the waters to survive. To understand how this mechanism worked, I will identify who were the subjects involved with lighthouses, signaling, and surveillance of the coast of Pará until the end of the 1880s, when slavery had been abolished and the impacts of steam navigation had already reached great expression in the movement of merchant and military ships in the region. The research in question will be based on two historiographical lines, respectively: trafficking and slavery in Brazil in the 19th century and military history.

A quimera das línguas: o problema da tradução linguística em um manuscrito em manao do setecentos

This dissertation seeks to examine the anonymous manuscript written by a missionary of the Society of Jesus and a bilingual Manao interpreter. This text is the Caderno da Doutrina pella Lingoa dos Manaos. It is a religious document formatted in questions and answers and written in three languages (manao, tupi and portuguese). It was produced under the Indian Directory in the mid-18th century. The Directory consisted of a document listing the rules on how to proceed, among other matters, regarding the education and freedom of the Indians. Because of its legal nature, the Pombaline Directory prohibited any manifestations of the use of indigenous languages in favor of the portuguese language. Based on these elements, we sought to understand the circumstances that led to the Directory being promulgated. In addition, the Manao ethnic group was one of the most powerful indigenous groups that dominated the Middle Rio Negro region. They belonged to the Arawak linguistic trunk, which was used to characterize this linguistic family. The power and population of the Manaos were gradually suppressed from the first decades of the 18th century in the midst of conflict with the Portuguese administration. The Caderno manao was the main object of the research and the linguistic analysis of the question and answer turns was carried out to see how the dialog between the two authors of the Caderno manao takes place. Thus, we sought to verify how the intersection between the three languages occurs; how the essential Christian concepts are manifested in the manuscript and there was a comparison with the lexical relations of the naturalist travelers: Carl von Martius and Johann Natterer in their expeditions during the 19th century, to find out if the main cosmological concepts of the Manao Dialogue found correspondence in these lists.

This The present dissertation analyzes the creation of Law nº 26 of September 22, 1835, which suspended in the province of Pará the § 6º, 7º, 8º, 9º and 10º paragraphs of Article 179 of the Constitution for a period of six months, as an extraordinary measure taken by the deputies and senators of the Brazilian Parliament to contain the “revolt” hut, as well as the sending of two highly respected marshals (Jorge Rodrigues and Soares d’Andrea) to restore the imperial order in the province, using the said Law as a strategy in war against the huts. Thus, this dissertation goes beyond the understanding of the discussions in the Parliament between the deputies and senators that led to the creation of the Law, but also aims to understand how the marshals Jorge Rodrigues and Soares d’Andrea interpreted and used the Law in the fight against cabins Finally, he analyzes the strategies of “pacification” and repression in the province of Pará created by Soares d’Andrea during his government, such as recruitment for the police guard and the corps of workers and resistance to these recruitments.

This dissertation aims to construct the biography of Francisco da Silva Castro, a doctor with long and intense experience who became known with the nickname “Doctor Lemonade”. Through your career, we are looking to identify through its production the sings the transitions of medical knowledge, thas is, the impacts generated with the advent of microbial and evolutionary theories as opposed to their formative thought, the miasmatic theory. Furthermore, we will analyze the conflicts generated between their professional peers and the healing practices resulting from involvement with subjects from the world of healing, in the face of so many epistemological changes. We will identify its main study themes; its scientific relations established between national and international institutions; and, mainly, the repercussion of scientific works in Brazil and abroad. To do this, we use extensive documentation, like as offices and reports accessed in the Public Archive of State of Pará (APEP); biographical dictionaries consulted in Public Library Arthur Vianna (CENTUR) and at the Emílio Goeldi Museum of the Pará; medical and botanical dictionaries in the José Mindlin virtual library (USP); articles published in the medical gazettes of Bahia and Paris; the reports of Province presidents found at the Center for Research, at the University of Chicago; as well as the postmortem inventory, at the Amazon Memory Center (CMA); and, mainly, in the newspapers and periodicals in the collection of the Brazilian Digital Hemeroteca.
