Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Belém, uma história da chuva (1890 – 1920)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-08-29) GOMES, Kelvyn Werik Nascimento; RICCI, Magda Maria de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4368326880097299This 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.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) “[...] dividir o corte da lenha [...] afim de não vermos brevemente as nossas matas calvas e estragadas”: a lenha nas Províncias do Pará e Amazonas (1850-1888)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-09-23) CORDOVIL, Wendell Presley Machado; NUNES, Francivaldo Alves; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4125313573133140In the 19th century in the Amazon, the steam vessels that sailed the region’s rivers did not yet use diesel as fuel. House kitchens still did not use “cooking gas”. It was another item that stood out as a producer of energy for steam ships and kitchen stoves in everyday life: firewood. Trees were felled, cut into pieces and turned into “sticks” [achas de lenha]. From the 1850s onwards, firewood became a valuable product for steam navigation on Amazon rivers and for kitchens in homes, institutions or bakeries and hotels. Firewood produced interactions between humans, but also between humans and non-humans, such animals and plants. Indigenous people, blacks, whites, horses and “maçarandubas” (a type of tree) appear as characters in this Master’s Thesis. With documents (such as newspapers, reports from provincial presidents, travel reports, drawings and floor plans) it was possible to understand a little of the complex reality that existed in Pará and Amazonas, between 1850 and 1888, for the production, trade and use of firewood. Focusing on steams and kitchens, this work presents the use of firewood, the mandatory work for the production of this fuel, human interaction with plants, animals, and also the beginning of a concern with deforestation generated by the production of firewood, from its uses and representations.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) “Empório dos gêneros do sertão e do comércio”: elite proprietária e trabalho indígena no Baixo Amazonas em finais do século XVIII e início do XIX (1780-1810)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2025-02-19) MCDANIEL, Alice Maria Teixeira; CHAMBOULEYRON, Rafael Ivan; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7906172621582952; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1150-5912This dissertation aims to investigate the economic and strategic importance of the Baixo Amazonas, a region belonging to the State of Grão-Pará and Rio Negro, specifically in the Captaincy of Pará, through the analysis of the landowning elite and indigenous labor, between the years of 1780 and 1810. The research focuses on the formation of a colonial “elite” that emerged in the Lower Amazon from the mid-18th century, strengthened by the rise of Minister Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo and the Pombaline reforms. These reforms, along with the regulation of indigenous labor through the “Diretório dos Índios” (Indian Directorate), reconfigured policies regarding the use of indigenous labor, which had a significant impact on the collection of the “drogas do sertão” (hinterland drugs) and agriculture. Through the analysis of period documents, the dissertation seeks to highlight the participation of these two groups and their contribution to the economy of the “drogas do sertão” and to the agriculture of the Lower Amazon region at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) “País selvagem”: os Mebêngôkre-Irã Amrayré e a fronteira Araguaia na segunda metade do século XIX(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-10-14) SENA, Laécio Rocha de; HENRIQUE, Márcio Couto; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9096024504515280This thesis analyzes the relationship of the Irã amrayré (Mebêngôkre-Kayapó group) with the different agents of the indigenist policy of the second half of the 19th century, in the province of Goiás, which had as its objective the occupation and colonization of the valleys of the Araguaia and Tocantins rivers, with a view to occupying its banks and building a trade route connecting the north of the province to Belém, in Pará, above all through the Araguaia River. Based on the analysis of official documentation, travellers' reports, myths and Irã amrayré narratives, and in dialogue with the contemporary ethnography of the Mebêngôkre, I defend the thesis that the Irã amrayré were important historical agents in the construction of the Araguaia frontier, in the second half of the XIX century. This process, in turn, was experienced by them according to their culture, their historical experiences and their own interests. On the other hand, I also emphasize that the contact with the other (the kubẽ) brought about transformations among the Irã amrayré.
