Análise espacial dos sítios monumentais do leste da Amazônia ocidental
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-08-19) BARBOSA, Antonia Damasceno; SCHAAN, Denise Pahl; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9087840228167206
This study aimed to analyze the geometric enclosures located in the eastern state of Acre, using geoprocessing tools and considering environmental and cultural factors that could have influenced the decisions of social groups on the location and morphology of these archaeological sites. The approach of landscape archaeology was used, as well as GIS as an analytical tool. From the survey data of 419 geometric enclosures in eastern Acre State, the research investigated cultural patterns related to the morphology and configuration, location and orientation of sites, using statistical and methods of spatial analysis. The study concluded that patterned building techniques were used in the construction of the enclosures and their location took into account the proximity of water sources, soil types and elevation. Morphological characteristics were associated with the size and location of sites. The survey also found that most of the enclosures was constructed to mark the winter or summer solstice. Considerations were also made on the state of conservation of sites and challenges to the management of this heritage.

“Antes tinha peixe e não tinha essas coisas, agora tem essas coisas e não tem peixe”: considerações sobre a atividade pesqueira artesanal na Vila dos Pescadores, Bragança – Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-09-30) SILVA, Adriana Batista Cecim da; ALENCAR, Edna Ferreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7555559649274791
The present study deals with the artisanal fishing activity carried out on the north Brazilian coast, by residents of Vila dos Pescadores, located in the Marine Extractive Reserve (RESEX Mar) of Caeté-Taperaçú, in the municipality of Bragança - Pará. The research aims to characterize this activity, identifying the types of fisheries, the target species and the impacts that threaten the productive capacity of fishermen and artisanal fisherwomen. For that, I tried to identify the main factors of change and the strategies of continuity of the activity, using as methodology the literature review and the field research with ethnographic techniques from semi-structured interviews with fishermen and public sector agents; collection of secondary data through literature review and documental research, and the use of photographic records of the community's daily activities, fishing work and rituals. Lúcia Helena Cunha (2013) mentions that traditional knowledge and modernity are in a complementary relationship, where both undergo changes and are re-signified. Such resignification is also pointed out by Marshall Sahlins (1997). Thus, the results indicate that the modernization of fishing technologies and the construction of Highway PA 458 are presented as the main factors of change, stimulating overfishing and overfishing that interfere, especially in fisheries carried out in the estuary and close to the beach. This set of factors influences the decrease in harvests, harms the use of traditional fishing technologies and affects sociocultural aspects of the group, such as the practice of sharing fish in the port, called kial, carried out by fishermen when they return from fishing - this fish, before intended only for food, it is now marketed as an alternative source of income. The analyzes indicate that the impacts on artisanal fishing can influence the circularity of ecological knowledge essential to the sustainability of this activity when young people move away from fishing and other people turn to extractive practices as subsistence strategies in order to guarantee food security for families. Some of these actions allow the continuity and resignification of local traditional knowledge that guide the ways of interacting with the environment, but others can negatively affect the mangrove ecosystem and local sociocultural practices. Furthermore, the creation of the Marine RESEX did not prevent predatory fishing and overfishing, due to the weak performance of the State in the implementation of an efficient fisheries management system that delimits the areas of activity of artisanal/commercial and semi-industrial fishing (sometimes operating in an unsustainable way in areas far from the coast using fishing net "apoitada" and/or trawl nets) and are in line with the interests of fishermen and artisanal fisherwomen in the community, based on a dialogic relationship.

Arqueologia do baixo Tapajós: ocupação humana na periferia do domínio tapajônico
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-10-17) MARTINS, Cristiane Maria Pires; SCHAAN, Denise Pahl; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9087840228167206
This research investigates a archaeological site located on a supposed south boundary of the Incised and Punctate Tradition area of influence, in the lower Tapajós River, and debates the results of the investigation in the light of the data and hypotheses on the precolonial occupation of the region. Archaeological investigations in the region in the last couple of years have revealed that the area of dispersal of this tradition is larger than previously expected. Material culture styles and the ways the landscape was occupied seem to indicate cultural contact between the inhabitants of the lower Tapajós River and the peoples who lived on the Nhamundá and Trombetas rivers basins by the end of the first millennium. So being, this research focus was twofold: (1) a local scale, with reference to Serraria Trombetas site and a detailed study of the in-site space as a micro cosmos of a regional history; and (2) a regional scale, comparing local results with the chronology and the characteristics of other sites in the region. Cultural diversity among the pre-colonial indigenous groups in the region was studied through ceramic styles, lithic objects, spatial distribution of vestiges in the local and regional levels, and the absolute chronology.

Arquitetura disciplinar na Amazônia: o Educandário Dr. Nogueira de Faria – Ilha de Cotijuba
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-03-13) SEABRA, Amanda Carolina de Sousa; COSTA, Diogo Menezes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3938588690473816; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4220-8232
For more than 30 years, the island of Cotijuba (Belém - PA) has housed three different institutions (reformatory colony, school and prison) that had as their purpose the education and recovery of the individual to live in society. The architecture of this place is great and it draws attention whenever you arrive at this island. This research makes an initial historical survey of what contexts and motives this school was created in the early 1930s and what led to its closure in the late 1970s. From this, it seeks to understand how the architecture of all this construction was used as another form of control of the inmates and, also, to understand how the discipline materialized and was perpetuated for years in this architecture. To do this, we use the architecture archeology approach to reach the objectives, based on three methodologies in this area: spatial, gamma and alpha analysis. With this, it is possible to answer the main question, which is: how did the discipline materialize in the architecture of the educational Dr. Nogueira de Faria?

Um buraco no meio da praça: múltiplas percepções sobre um sítio arqueológico em contexto urbano amazônico – o caso de Belém, Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-05-16) FERNANDES, Glenda Consuelo Bittencourt; SILVEIRA, Flávio Leonel Abreu da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1972975269922101; ALMEIDA, Marcia Bezerra de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1085631337892211
This research considers the multiple meaning sassigned to the historical site “ Igreja Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Homens Brancos”, located in the urban context of the city of Belém, Pará, in Amazon, specifically in the Carmo Square. The site was studied during an Urban Archaeology Project which aimed at presenting the structures of the Church to the public through an architectural strategy known as archaeological windows. From the perspective of Public Archaeology I discuss the meanings and uses of the site in the daily life of the local communities. The fieldwork was performed between 2012 and 2013 and during this time I have conducted an ethnographic research, carrying out interviews with residents, workers and other people that walk across the square every day. Finally, I discuss the historical context of the site, and present some reflections concerning the design of the cultural heritage policies in urban contexts.

Cultura, oralidade e língua Mẽbêngôkre sob o prisma de seus mitos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-03-16) FERREIRA, Dilma Costa; CAMARGO, Nayara da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4768996737873916
The present research sought to evidence in the myths Mẽbêngôkre, the intertwining between culture, language and orality, evoking themes such as memory, oral literature and history, through bibliographic research and approximation of the field carried out in some Mẽbêngôkre villages in southern Pará, specifically in the municipality of São Félix do Xingu. It was observed that the myths show, among others, historical and cultural aspects, when presenting the ways of life of the ancestors and their deeds, which provided the cultural formation of the Mẽbêngôkre, reflected today. The objective of this research was, through bibliographic survey, and participant observation, with data collection in the field, to dialogue with the existing data on Mẽbêngôkre myths, in order to understand the place of myth for these people. For the purposes that the present work proposes, four versions of a Mẽbêngôkre myth were compared, in order to provide a better understanding of the intertwining between myth, history and “culture”. The interlocutors of this study were eight people Mẽbêngôkre, among them, a woman. Being the versions of the myths presented here, narrated by three of these interlocutors. Research becomes relevant because it provides knowledge about the place of myths among the Mẽbêngôkre, reflecting on topics that permeate them, such as cultural formation, the importance of orality and memory and, as myth and history, they touch among amerindians. The present research sought to reflect the amerindian ways of life, based on the Mẽbêngôkre, in order to encourage the subversive character in the face of indigenous realities, in order to contribute significantly to them. The field incursion occurred through the research, initially of participant observation. The daily life of the indigenous peoples in their relations, between themselves and with the environment, were observed. The second moment consisted of field consolidation and data collection. The work is structured in four chapters and the theoretical basis was contributed by authors Louis-Jean Calvet (2002; 2011), Jack Goody (2012), Claude Lévi-Strauss (1991; 2018), Marshall Sahlins (1997), Viveiros de Castro (2017; 2018), Aryon Rodrigues (2000; 2001 and 2013) and others.

Desvendando significados: contextualizando a Coleção Etnográfica Xikrín do Cateté
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2002-02-15) DOMINGUES-LOPES, Rita de Cássia; BELTRÃO, Jane Felipe; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6647582671406048
The object of study is the Ethnographic Collection Xikrín do Cateté under the responsability of the Anthropology Laboratory “Arthur Napoleão Figueiredo” Technical Reserve at the Anthropology Department of the Federal University of Pará. The Collection Xikrín do Cateté is constituted by 144 artifacts, gathered by anthropologist Protásio Frikel (1912-1974) in the beginning of the 60s while carrying out field work among the Xikrín. The group is classified in the anthropological literature as sub-group Kayapó speaking a dialect of the Kayapó language from the Jê family which belongs to the linguistic line macro-Jê. They live on the river Cateté margin in the Parauapebas municipality, in Southern Pará. They currently live in two villages: the Cateté village that holds 600 people and the Djudjê-kô village with 240 people. They are separate from one another by 18 km. The collection is studied to allow the contextualization of the artifacts aiming at identifying their meanings and to acknowledge their potential contemporary use. In the trail of contextualization, I associate the Interpretative Anthropology and the Discourse Analysis tools with the data collected during field work carried out throughout the month of July 2000 and between february and april 2001 when visiting the Collection itself. The Collection has been classified based on Berta Ribeiro (1988) including plumary adornments and adornments made from several materials used by the Xikrín in their day-to-day life such as the Merêrêméi; there are also the weapons; the musical instruments; the ritual, magic and ludic objects; the straw wooven objects and other artifacts used for cooking, for domestic living and manual work tools as observed in the Reserve and the villages. The artifacts in the Collection are a reflection of some of the aspects of the Xikrín reality and identity aprehended generation after generation whom have considered values and concepts which constitue distinctive marks but also bring them close to other indigenous groups.

Do tempo dos pretos d’antes aos povos do Aproaga: patrimônio arqueológico e territorialidade quilombola no vale do rio Capim (PA)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-10-01) MORAES, Irislane Pereira de; MARQUES, Fernando Luiz Tavares; ALMEIDA, Marcia Bezerra de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1085631337892211; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0365104813041022
This master's dissertation were built from the dialogue between anthropology and archeology, seeking to understand the uses and meanings that archaeological heritage plays in the field of contemporary social relations, specifically, those built according to the logic of traditional peoples and communities. Understood as an ethnographic category, heritage allows a glimpse on the meanings of quilombolas communities from Taperinha, Nova Ipixuna, Sauá-Mirim, Benevides and Alegre Vamos, in São Domingos do Capim (State of Pará), draw around the archaeological site Aproaga. In the struggle for definitive titration of its territory the quilombolas define themselves as Peoples of Aproaga, in this context, cultural awareness enables the construction of collective identity. Around the historic ruins of the Greathouse of Sugar Plantation from the colonial age, the social memory about the time when the Blacks were slaves restores and strengthens the present cultural references and ethnic boundaries in consonance to the feeling of belonging to Aproaga. Thus, public archeology and ethnography allows us to understand the dynamics and social relations of the present and its fruitions with the past, the meanings of material culture as well, the ethnic dimensions which heritage might take in the context of territorial rights of communities descendants and / or origin. Whereas, the territoriality quilombola built by the People of Aproaga imply a critical way of thinking about heritage policies in Amazon, and more broadly the reflexivity of the research towards a decolonial science praxis.

Ecos de um Theatro Assombrado : um estudo de caso sobre as relações entre materialidade, visagens e o Theatro da Paz, Belém (PA)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-09-30) BARBOSA, Gabriel Rodrigues; MATOS, Beatriz de Almeida; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5130782589745088
This dissertation, structured in three acts, explores the relationships between materiality and visages in the amazonian imaginary. It delves into the topic through the case study of the narratives shared by the workers of the Theatro da Paz, located in Praça da República, Belém, in the state of Pará, Brazil. The Act I: Amazonian Visages aims to conceptualize the word Visage throughout a discussion about the territorialization of the environment into the imaginary, which influences the spatial and social distances observed between Saints, Visages and Enchanted. Those distances are themselves intertwined with the social-spatial categories of Center, Margin and Deep. The Act II: Theaters focuses on the History of Theatro da Paz to explore the social role that theaters played in Amazonian colonization strategies and the economical, social, and environmental changes incurred in Belém throughout the second half of the XIX century. Those factors are partially responsible for the physical traits currently embodied by the Theatro da Paz. Finally, Act III: Senses and Things brings together these discussions to answers questions about the role visages have between the workers’ relationship with the Theatro da Paz; of impacts of physical characteristics and operational hours in the emergence of visages; the role of ordinary material things in narratives about visages; and how these aspects entangle themselves into mastery-type relationships that strengthen social bonds between all involved subjects.

“Égua”, é a hora do intervalo na tv: marcadores sociais da diferença, consumidores/as e publicidade produzida em Belém do Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-06-18) OLIVEIRA, Robson Cardoso de; CANCELA, Cristina Donza; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8393402118322730
This dissertation is "born" with a mission: to investigate on the receipt of social markers of the difference between the advertising consumers produced in the city of Belém, Pará, in order to observe how the categories of Gender and Sexuality are received and (re) signified at the moment we watch the interval time in TV. However, other social markers of difference as Class, Color/Race and Generation were added by consumers in conversations, and consequently were problematized in this study. In addition, discussions about advertising and consumption also gained prominence as a consequence of the very strength of the consumers’ speeches. As a result, I realized that social markers of difference were being operated in the narratives in an intersected (or articulated) mode, among these, the most active in this tangency were the Gender, Color/Race and Class categories, comprised by speeches as: black and poor male; and white and rich woman. The "game" between the real and the "magical" world of ads (Rocha 1990), also commented out by consumers, viewing the advertising much closer to real idealizations, instead of showing the realities at the interval time in TV.

Iluminando os mortos: um estudo sobre o ritual de homenagem aos mortos no dia de finados em Salinópolis – Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-05-26) NEGRÃO, Marcus Vinícius Nascimento; ALENCAR, Edna Ferreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7555559649274791
The Lighting of the Dead, conducted in the city of Salinópolis (PA) - and in some municipalities of northeastern Pará -, consists of a ritual homage to the dead, which takes place annually on the occasion of All Souls' Day, on November 2. In this city, there is a very specific way to pay tribute to the dead in their graves which, during the night, are illuminated with the lighting of candles to, in sequence, a moment of fraternization between the relatives of the deceased occur. Thus, the main aspects that problematized in this paper relate to the underlying issues in this symbolic ritual homage to the dead. Thus, the lighting of the dead works as a device that triggers sociability around death, reintegrating symbolically the dead to the social life and the living to the spiritual life.

Masculinidades em cena: o modo de ser e de pensar o metrossexual a partir das telenovelas
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-10-31) OLIVEIRA JÚNIOR, Edyr Batista de; CANCELA, Cristina Donza; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8393402118322730
I tried to analyze the perceptions of subjects about the way of being and thinking the metrosexual character from Brazilian soap operas. The use of characters from this kind of program for research was important because soap operas are productions that contribute to the viewing of behaviors and dissemination of the "new", besides having great input in Brazilian homes. Because of this, I conducted sixteen interviews with five women and eleven men, all residing in Belém, Pará, undergraduate or graduated in order to show how these people see the male characters that are presented on electronic serials and if they perceive metrosexual characters or with metrosexual characteristics in Brazilian soap operas. I also investigated what some operators of communication - writers, authors, actors and academic writers who study Brazilian soap operas – think about the relation of the male audience with this type of program, through interviews they gave to some media and / or academic papers they wrote. Moreover, I discussed the construction of the metrosexual and the current association of this male type with homosexuality. Thus, I approached the comprehension of my interlocutors on three characters which I focused in my interviews: Narciso (Vladimir Brichta), from Belíssima (2005), Thomas (Leonardo Miggiorin) from Cobras e Lagartos (2006) and Carlos (Carlos Casagrande), from Viver a Vida (2009), verifying the characteristics that make men represented in these roles recognized or not as vain. It will be possible to see that the idea of a male type unconcerned about what he wears, who uses soap to wash his hair not to spend much time with shampoos and conditioners, for example, has lost ground in the contemporary scene, once men, more and more, externalize their vanity, contributing to the "manufacture" of beautiful and desired bodies.

This research investigates the insertion of the jesuit’s school and church in colonial Belém. It analizes, from the perspective of the archaeology of architecture, the way this edification became a powerful element in the landscape of the oldest part of the city. In addition, I establish an analytical relationship of this process with the foundation of the Feliz Lusitânia project, in the historical center of the capital of Pará. The research was based on both the colonial period documentation and the Feliz Lusitânia project. I analyzed the discourses in these sources, regarding the intentions of the agents in charge of conforming a landscape of power in the oldest part of Belém. I have also used maps and images to show belém’s spatial arrangement and the presence of the builidings investigated. Thereby, I observed the differentiated layers in the local landscape, having in mind the ideological manifestations expressed in the architecture.

The objective of the present study is to think over shoemaker craft in Belém, Pará. The research starts from the assessment of cobbler’s narratives, accurately workers from Batista Campos’s district and Campina’s District, located at central portion of the city. By the review of shoemaker’s memories about their social trajectories, I intend to comprehend how this occupation altered itself, how these people realize changes in urban life and space modifications over the years elapsed, therefore, frame and reconfiguration of urban world’s landscapes. The propositions listed here point to the fact that shoemaker knowledge and know-how, and a “saber viver” that reflects everyday experience of these individuals make workshops constitute spaces of sociability. In these places, besides manufacture and repair of shoes, other social forms are produced – full of sensitive and symbolic contents resulting from interactions and relationships engendered there and by the mediation of craft inherent technical gesture.

In Amazonian archeology, the Formative period (4000-2000 BP) is defined by sedentary settlements of people whose subsistence rely on agriculture, complemented by game, fish, and gathering. when agriculture became the generalized form of food production and societies became more sedentary. This period is important, among other things, because it precedes the development of regional societies around the beginning of the Christian Era. However, it is little known, either because of the small amount of recorded sites or by the lack of research. This dissertation presents the results on an investigation of the Formative contexts at the site Port of Santarem, in the lower Amazon, a region where the long sequence of occupation dates back to the Paleoindian Period. The investigation was design to observe such occupation at the Port site, seeking to understand its role in the dynamics of regional long-term occupation. The excavations reveled evidence of human occupation in the late pre-Columbian period (cal. AD 1020 to 1160) known as the Santarém phase of the Incised and Punctate Tradition, as well as an early occupation, at the base of the cultural layer, which corresponds to the Formative period (cal. 3160 a 3090 AP).

Amazon has a history of diverse foreign imageations, which stigmatized it in simplified and exotic references. In this researh, I explore other landscapes of this region, those whose imaginary construction permeates the experiences and daily interactions that occur in it. The urban space becomes this few explored image of an area known for its fauna and flora. Artistic expressions, in turn, are a way to demonstrate perceptions and experiences of spaces, the music video does this through visuality and sonority, giving more elements that make it possible to (re)create imaginaries. Based on the particularities of this audiovisual genre and the choice of six music videos filmed on the streets of the city of Belém do Pará, I came to three groups of local interlocutors, whose I was able to dialogue about the daily life, experience and images of these spaces considering what is created and what is shown today about the city.

O “pensamento concentrado”: concepções sobre saúde mental e bem viver na pajelança do povo Tembé/Tenetehar

This dissertation proposes an analysis of what we understand by mental health from the perception of the Tembé/Tenetehar people themselves, as well as their overlaps and forms of treatment of these conditions carried out by the pajelança and its many specialists. To this goal, a bibliographical survey will be carried out on the different forms that mental health can take among indigenous peoples, such as its overlaps with cosmology, dreams and shamanism, to allow comparison with the reality of the Tembé/Tenetehar people and their demands. When trying to translate our understanding of what mental health would be to the Amerindian reality, we encounter several barriers, with several attempts resulting in situations where Western forms of thought overlapped with indigenous ways of reflecting on the phenomenon. Amerindian societies perceive what we understand by mental health based on their own ontologies, cosmologies and ways of thinking. Thus, it is expected to contribute to knowledge on mental health among the Tembé/Tenetehar people and their demands so that their reflections are respected and taken into consideration in the analysis, addressing issues related to the topic from an anthropological perspective and trying to build bridges between indigenous forms and western medical concepts.

O potencial da cultura material na educação museal sobre formas de violência na Amazônia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-07-04) OLIVEIRA, Nadison Gomes de; ALMEIDA, Marcia Bezerra de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1085631337892211
The main objective of this work is to analyze and reflect on museum education possibilities through material culture on forms of violence for institutions in the Amazon region. In order to understand ways in which material culture can be used in Museum and/or Heritage Education activities aimed at social and political problems involving different forms of violence in the region, mainly against groups considered socially minority, involving ethnic-racial issues, of gender and sexualities. As goals to achieve this objective, I propose to understand the importance of material culture and the some possibilities in which they can become agents in educational practices in museums; map understandings of museums, museum education and violence in museums in the Amazon region, through reports by students of the Museology course at the Federal University of Pará and trained museologists who work or have worked in institutions in the region; and compare the reported practices with the notions of education present in heritage and museum charters, and also with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to understand whether these described actions, located in the Amazon region, are consistent with the guidelines aimed at maintaining of practices for the development of democracy and peace. With this, reflections on how memory and power are intrinsic elements of museums, proposals to educate about violence in a sensitive and engaged way through things and the possibility of thinking about an Amazonian Museology and a regional museum education arise.

Considering the distincts ethnic group identity processes carried out by social groups that guide their actions in favor of self-recognition as remaining quilombo communities in the Lower Amazon region, the general objective of this work is to analyze the production and reproduction of ethnicity based on the understanding that it does not stem from empirically observable cultural discontinuities. Aware of its variation, we highlight the complex relations between ethnicity and culture through an ethnography of the political processes of territorial recognition as a quilombo based on the situational analysis carried out in the quilombola community of Surubiu-Açú, whose community association was the last to become part of the Federation of the Quilombolas Organizations in Santarém (FOQS), and in Saracura quilombola community, one of the first communities to star to recognize themselves as quilombola in Santarém, Pará, Brazil. Thus, taking into account different scales of analysis, we will emphasize the contexts of interaction where ethnic identity is manifested, whether in social interaction with other neighboring communities or with the State itself, in the claim of ethnic and territorial right. With this, the similarities present in the ways of making, creating and living observed between quilombolas and “riverside” communities, will be compared contrastively with the different processes of cultural distinctiveness. It is precisely through these processes that diacritical signals are chosen and become relevant both in intercommunity interaction and in the configuration of ethnic and political identities.

It addresses about the differentiations of gender among fractions of urban medium classes in Belém-PA, starting from aspects of family and professional life of people who work with the theme gender in the field of the academic studies (teaching and research). The work tries to show the updatings, changes, sometimes escapesfrom social models of reference, that is, the conjunctions and disjunctions in the speeches of people when those turn to the performative contexts, where social practices informed by the gender are developed. It discuses also how the social representations are updated and/or modified from the reference that they make about elements of their personal and professional daily life. Thus, the stories of life of the investigated group are taken into analyze proving their experiences in the different and, sometimes, intertwined sceneries in which they build/update their lives.
