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.

Contos de rios: memórias sobre as águas e o ensino de História em Santa Izabel do Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-12-15) RIBEIRO, Ligia Mara Barros; KETTLE, Wesley Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9421187953739248; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5824-5700
This study approaches the environmental perspective with emphasis on rivers in history classes. It aims to analyze the students' perception of the relationship between the Izabelense, Jordão and Caraparu rivers and the history of Santa Izabel do Pará, following the theoretical basis proposed by environmental history. Therefore we use oral history as a methodology to produce the izabelenses environmental memories from the speeches of the old residents, and through these, the students get to know the uses, relationships and social practices experienced between the subjects and the rivers, at the same time in which they analyzed the existing works on the history of the city, so that they understood what these authors said about rivers and nature or if they did not speak about them. So, as a product of this dissertation, was made the e-book Rivers' tales: izabelenses stories, in which the students in their writing and illustration of the stories used the environmental memories collected with the help of the information present in the works to point out the spaces they considered significant for the history of the place and thus write their texts that present new narratives about Santa Izabel do Pará, now including the rivers. With that, the students reflected on the environmental issues and crises existing in the place, leading the production of knowledge and, with the domain of this, developed their environmental awareness, being critical of the problems of the present in relation to water and rivers, being able to exercise the citizenship based on the issues reflected in their history classes.
