(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-06) LACERDA, Franciane Gama; VIEIRA, Elis Regina Corrêa
The aim of this paper is to understand how authorities and writers, who published in local newspapers from late nineteenth to early twentieth century, built an idea of progress and development for the state of Pará. It is about understanding, on one hand, the connections between rural areas, the forest and the city of Belém and, on the other, the ideas of progress and development through agriculture. In order to understand such connections, the article discusses three important problems: the "excesses" of nature, agricultural education and rural sanitation.

This thesis aims to analyze how Amazon nature was conceived and appropriated in the Amazon development plans elaborated to be implemented between 1955 and 1985. Historical processes and their implementation were delineated, emphasizing their social and environmental dimensions. The research document base was formed by the development plans, reports, government acts and statements, magazines and newspapers, legislations, cartographic images, besides the literature related to the theme. The analyses were based on the theoretical and methodological principles of Environmental History. The evidences produced revealed that water, soil, forests and subsoil acquired new meanings in statements and actions envisaged in state planning. This process reflected a conception of Amazon nature as a source of natural resources for maintenance and expansion of the adopted development model that did not take into consideration the region historical dimension. It was observed during the interpretation of a theoretical and methodological matrix in the wording of the plans that indicate continuity among them. The measures of environmental content, incorporated in the elaboration of the plans in the 1970s, resulted from pressures from multilateral financial institutions, to guarantee financial resources to ongoing projects. At the same time, some initiatives formed in defense of the Amazon by: intellectuals, social movements, religious institutions, peasants, rubber tappers and Indigenous people with distinctive interests, relocated the discussion on nature. The understanding of the historical dimension that guided the conceptions of nature in the various analyzed processes enable the emergence of a more diverse and richer social history of the Amazon.
