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?

Atividade física dos Paleoamericanos de Lagoa Santa, Minas Gerais: análise das propriedades geométricas da secção transversal de ossos longos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-12-07) DIAS, Bárbara Vieira; GLÓRIA, Pedro José Tótora da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9111647253588398; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6282-7826
The Lagoa Santa region has attracted the attention of many researchers around the world since the 19th century, especially regarding its extensive osteological collection. Since the research carried out by Peter Lund, the interest in aspects such as the health and lifestyle of the Lagoa Santa groups has been growing, resulting in analyses that have contributed to understanding the lives of some of the oldest Paleoamericans in South America. The aim of the present study is to analyze the cross-sectional properties of the femur and humerus of a skeletal sample of Paleoamericans from Lagoa Santa, Minas Gerais, and, from this analysis, infer the levels of physical activity of these hunter-gatherers. In total, the Lagoa Santa sample consists of 52 femurs and 44 humeri, all belonging to adult individuals. Computed tomography was used to obtain images of the internal structure of the bones, without causing any damage to the bones. The analyses were performed using the ImageJ program and generated data regarding the variables TA, CA, Ix, Iy, Imax, Imin, Zx, Zy, Zp and J. In addition, groups of hunter-gatherers and farmers from 11 world regions were selected to compose a comparative sample. The results demonstrated that Lagoa Santa presents a high activity of the lower limbs, similar to other hunter-gatherers, with the results for the upper limb decreasing high asymmetry and sexual dimorphism. Therefore, the physical activity patterns observed in Lagoa Santa are aligned with those of hunter-gatherers and show bone adaptations that reflect a physically active life, while the use of the upper limbs suggests a difference in the activities performed by male and female groups.

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.

Da seringa à farinhada: produção e modo de vida na Reserva Extrativista Riozinho da Liberdade, Vale do Juruá – Acre
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-11-27) SOUSA, Tatiane Silva; O’DWYER, Eliane Cantarino; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7254906067108841; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0523-188X
This work has as its objective to observe the dynamics of social relations networks in order to verify how people and groups build strategies to ensure the reproduction of their social, cultural and economic practices in communities localized in Extractive Reserve (RESEX) Riozinho da Liberdade, Alto Juruá, Acre. For such, I use the concept of social networks as method strategy and techniques such as observant participation in the communities Morro da Pedra and periquito. Photos, interviews, genealogies and keeping a field notebook were also techniques used. I initially address the historical and social intricacies that culminated in the formation of the Vale do Juruá’s rubber tapper settlements in the Juruá Valley, Acre, based on a brief historical overview of events that range from the first rubber cycle with the establishment of the rubber plantation (1870-1912), until its collapse, when there was an end to protectionist rubber policies and the advance of the border in the Acre Amazon at the end of the 20th century, a moment in which the political and economic interests of the Brazilian State towards the Amazon changed, which started to encourage its colonization and finance infrastructure projects that have come to threaten the way of life of people from traditional communities, a situation that has led to a series of local conflicts in Acre. At this time, the rubber tappers' social movement emerged as a form of resistance, which was initially organized and represented by the Rural Workers' Union (STR). Union stations in rubber tapper settlements, as well as Rubber Tapper’s National Council (CNS) and local associations, were founded during this time, which came to enhance their struggle. The rubber tapper’s social movement established alliances with indigenous peoples, the environmental movement, international organisms and other institutions, pressuring the Brazilian State to recognize their social and territorial rights to put an end to the system of trading outposts managed by landlords (barracões) and to create the RESEXs. At RESEX Riozinho da Liberdade, created in 2005 after another decade of struggle, the end of the extractive activity as the main source of income brought with it a period of changes. The rubber tappers began to dedicate themselves to agriculture, cultivating mainly manioc flour. Families migrate from settlements in the interior of the forest (colocações) and gather on the banks of the Riozinho da Liberdade, where public institutions began to operate in the 1990s, influencing the formation of communities that exist today on the banks of the river. It is observed that between the period of colocações and now there are structural continuities in the way in which domestic groups build their exchange and kinship relationships. Until today relationships of asymmetric trading (aviamento) occurs, but the immobilization of labor as was previously the case in the rubber plantations no longer occurs. The creation of RESEX assured territorial rights, but not new sources of income based on extractivism, which has been worked on by new associations, albeit in an incipient form. Local networks based on kinship, reciprocity, supply and assistance are important to guarantee production, marketing, food and assistance in times of difficulty. In this way, guaranteeing security, social and economic stability to domestic groups.

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.

Doença como experiência: as relações entre vulnerabilidade social e corpo doente enquanto fenômeno biocultural no estado do Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-06-11) SILVA, Ariana Kelly Leandra Silva da; SILVA, Hilton Pereira da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3917171307194821
This study examines the biosocial representation of individuals with Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA) in Pará State, Brazil, considering that this as a biocultural phenomenon, involving evolutionary, genetic, environmental, socioeconomic and cultural aspects of their daily life. The research deals with the sociability and the health issues of forty people with SCA, representing 10% of the States' cases, contacted in the Fundação Hemopa, Belém, the reference center for blood disorders in the State. The research encompasses their routine situation of social vulnerability, their perceptions of Health and Disease, treatments (Western and Folk Medicine), diagnostic, stigmas, prejudices, taboos and difficulties of access and accessibility to the services of SUS (the Brazilian National Health System). A comprehensive qualitative methodology and content analysis were used to understand the experience of persons who live daily with the instability and complexity of the disease. The personal experience of disease was uncovered though the formal conversations/interviews about the origins of the biological heritage, social relations, family entanglements and extra-familial dimensions of the individuals' in question, focusing on the evolution of SCA, especially considering the physical and psychological pain and other health complications experienced by the study's participants. The habitus in relation to their life ways is a category which includes the perception of the ethnic/racial nature of SCA, still perceived as "a disease that comes from the black people" with all its associated taboos. I conclude suggesting that many impacts of SCA are linked to the Social Determinants of Health and that there are important differences in relation to the susceptibilities of the persons, with many biosocial layers that require greater awareness by the political, clinical and primary care institutions responsible for the care of the affected citizens.

A donde quiera que voy me acuerdo de la mata de moriche Prácticas de salud en la transitividad migratoria de indígenas warao en Belém, Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-11-10) MARTÍNEZ, Karla Pamela Reveles; SILVA, Hilton Pereira da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3917171307194821; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3287-3522
The presence of indigenous Warao in the Venezuelan migratory flow in Brazil has generated controversies regarding health care for this group. The therapeutic trajectories of people in migratory transit show different nuances in health care during migration phases. This research identifies search factors and access to health care practices of Warao families in the city of Belém, Pará, in the north of Brazil. Research was conducted through participant observation in social assistance activities and in activities of the Consultório na Rua (“mobile medical services”), and through the narrated experiences of people who prefer to live outside the shelters. This work shows that the health care provided by the mobile medical services, therapy with Warao shamans (Wisiratu and Joarotu), therapy with ensalmists, self-medication (use of pharmaceutical drugs and home remedies), the preference for the home birth, the rejection of medical procedures, and the search for adequate food are practices that are part of Warao health care in their migratory transitivity in Belém. However, this work identifies that labor exclusion, lack of access to information and guidance from health services, little interaction of Warao migrants with health centers (Basic Health Units), among others, are factors that also intervene in under use of health services. Some recommendations are provided to redirect Warao access to the health services of the municipality. In addition, research highlighted that the permanence in Belém and the possible return to lands with extractivist processes are phases of the migratory trajectory that should continue to be discussed with respect to the irruption of the right to health as a common good for this indigenous people and their lives who were forced into displacement and marginalization.

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.

Educação escolar indígena no Oiapoque/AP: práticas pedagógicas em escola do povo Karipuna
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2025-02-24) SANTOS, Karina dos; SANTOS , Júlia Otero dos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8964630349505642
This study presents an approach to the policies and practices of school education among the Karipuna people in the Indigenous territories located in the municipality of Oiapoque-AP. The emphasis is on highlighting the role of the Karipuna Indigenous people in organizing educational policies and projects from the school as a tool of domination and assimilation to the school as a space for cultural empowerment and an integral part of the community’s educational system and life plan both within and beyond the territory. It includes a brief overview of the historical introduction of school education among the Karipuna, their collective struggles and advocacy for new meanings and transformations in schooling to better serve the people’s lives, with focus on major demands, challenges, and contradictions in implementing what is guaranteed by specific Indigenous education legislation. Initially a colonial tool for erasing ancestral cultures, the school has now also become a space for affirming and valuing the people's cultural and linguistic diversity. One of the objectives was to examine the policies, actions, and schooling models currently being practiced in Indigenous schools. The study explored some pedagogical practices by Karipuna teachers, observing how Indigenous knowledge and practices engage in dialogue with formal education, as well as how differentiated and intercultural processes contribute to building school curricula grounded in the community’s reality, experiences, and way of life.

“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.

O general e os Tapuios: linguagem, raça e mestiçagem em Couto de Magalhães (1864-1876)

The century XIX, more than any other time, tried the gestation of most of our nation projects, structured starting from the political emancipation of the new homeland. Several intellectuals militated in that arduous task of drawing a new face of a Brazil with own identity, although based under an European vision. Among those managers of the new Brazilian identity, one of the most important was the General José Vieira Couto de Magalhães (1837-1898), man of State, political of the Empire and one of the initiators of the folkloric among us. In this dissertation, I try to bound the main work of Couto de Magalhães, The Savage (1876), in the romantic canons and evolucionist of his time, inside of a project of " civilization " of the Indians of the Amazon and the consequent moment of cultural integration of those people and their descendants to the Brazilian population. No matter how much the main justification of the work was the study about the incorporation from the native to the profitable activities of the national economy, the author ended for emphasizing the understanding of the language as fundamental strategy for the peaceful attraction of the populations had then as " savages "; between the racial inventory and the cultural translation of the Brazilian indigenous groups, Couto de Magalhães looked for to value that linguistic arsenal as the truest and authentic representative of the Brazilian nationality. The analysis is made in the sense of understanding which the limits of the translation attempt that the author intended to do of the indigenous legends for the world of the whites, in the intention of legitimating his choice of the Indian as symbol of our identity.

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.

The dissertation is a historical-anthropological study about the Keka between the Palikur-Arukwayene people of the Urukauá river that demonstrates the constitution of the autonomous person among the peoples that compose the interethnic mosaic on the border of Oiapoque from an event considered bellicose, time in which it seeks to bring to light the indigenous version related to the historical occupation of the Guyanese region that was constituted for centuries as the Caribbean Amazon. Despite the Keka be translated as war by different indigenous interlocutors, the ethnographic quotidian shows that it is best translated as party or warrior competition, addressing principles and motivations for the ritual indigenous bellicosity preceding the European invasion and prevail in different ways, to the shame of the action and the impacts caused by the indigenism of the bordering national states.

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.
