In this work we objectify to understand the process of transformation of the social groups formed by gays, bisexuals, travesties, transsexuals and transgenders lesbians in Brazil contemporary. The invisibility of these individuals and groups, its silence and the oppression for them suffered, the constitution of a homophobic society, as well as the tenseness so that holding back and silence, injury, violence and death can be ceased, are privileged elements in this analysis. Characteristic aspects of the bourgeois society installed here, together with a fortified Christian religious tradition, are tacked to become clearer the construction of an heterosexual normative, patriarchal, male chauvinist and refusing culture that made itself hegemonic, present in the State, the education, the familiar household. The diverse actions that had aimed at/aim at to guarantee visibility and basic rights to LGBTTT individuals are analysis object, as well as the critical deepest ones to this hegemonic culture, in the elaboration of a culture that makes it opposition. For the Social History and doing vertical form to our analysis from the connective category that is the Gender, we search to understand these tenseness and the construction s possibilities of a political culture that takes to the denaturalization of the differences of the erotic-affective experiences on the way of an effectively democratic society.

This work tries to establish a dialogue between art and society. It is a reflection on Show Opinião, a musical spectacle performed in 1964 in the city of Rio de Janeiro by Grupo Opinião and by Teatro de Arena, both of them from São Paulo city. Oduvaldo Vianna Filho s, Paulo Pontes s and Armando Costa s musical has marked Brazilian theatrical scenario not only because of its innovative dramaturgy but also because it was the first artistic experience to criticize openly the military regime which was imposed 1964 in Brazil. In discussing Brazilian society s political problems and cultural matters in the 1960s, Show Opinião breaks through the idea that the politically compromised and engaged theater has to be grave, didactic, schematic, and not causing laughter. In this thesis, the interventions regarding Brazilian popular music, laughter, comical situations, unusual typical characters and other fanciful and fictional elements from the theatrical scenario will be understood and valued as resistance political tools which are able to encourage people to the debate and interventions leading to a questioning of the political arbitrariness the 1964 military coupe d état perpetrated. Although Show Opinião is an important reference to the drama scenario in the 1960s, its performance has raised many controversies. With its structure based on sources from Brazilian popular culture and popular, participant music in a time when music industry was raising this spectacle was understood by critics, intellectuals, and journalists as a romantic and welcoming manifestation from suffering people. Besides, the assiduous presence of popular music in its performance has led many people to interpret Show Opinião as a commercialization of the political fight that was being built at the time. Unlike such ideas, this thesis begins with the hypothesis that Show Opinião is an important manifestation of political and organized resistance against the 1964 military coupe d état. To be understood as such, this spectacle should be viewed as something that goes beyond the coupe d état s impact. The matrixes of this politically engaged drama come from nineteenth-century s musical theater (teatro de revista) tradition, as in the valorization of laughter, comical situations, irony, and music; from União Nacional dos Estudantes s Centro Popular de Cultura, an organization that produced aesthetical and artistic experiences to promote popular culture which contained fanciful, comical, musical and amusement elements to politicize the theatrical scenario; and from Zicartola restaurant, where traditional Brazilian music (samba, xote, and baião) were played and where intellectuals and artists willing to face dictatorship used to meet. German drama experiences such as the ones by Bertolt Brecht and Erwin Piscator, above all the valorization of music, gesture, strangeness, and music on the stage, completed Show Opinião political engagement. Since this spectacle joined an innovative aesthetical form a play with protest songs and popular sources with an explicitly political content on the stage, this thesis argues that such a spectacle was a manifestation of resistance to the 1964 political events.

Although animated sitcom fiction has always been the focus of researchers analysis, historical studies about animated series aired on TV are still scarce. Moreover, whether researchers have investigated animated sitcoms, it was not with the intention of discussing their relation to the images of Brazil and Brazilians conveyed both on TV and the Internet. Because of that the object of study of this thesis is the discussion of socio-historical-political dimensions in The Simpsons , a profitable animated sitcom and a satirical parody of a working class American lifestyle family, whose episodes have been aired on Brazil and all over the world s TV channels for more than two decades. Therefore, the corpus of this investigation is some of the series episodes, notably Blame it on Lisa during which the fictional family travels to Brazil. With the objective of bringing to light the representations of Brazil in the last decades the research makes use of the internauts speech acts of which emerge their critical discourse construction of the The Simpsons. The Internet, an interesting locus to reveal Brazil and its relation to the American production of series, is also used not only in an attempt to define simpsonized language and discuss the (re)signification of Brazil s imagery as created by the internauts, but also to put to question concepts such as family, childhood, criminality, violence, sexuality in children s programs and the lampooning of Brazilian identity symbols, always treated in an unflattering or negative light, in the search for larger audiences (Top 30 ratings) and for money, categories also selected for the development of this work. Still, anthropophagy, a category largely used in Brazilian literary (con)texts in the beginning of the XX century, supported the analysis of internauts and actual viewers perception of the series as a point of departure for helping engender behavior and attitudes that can help rebuild realities, via massive media, even if inspired by The Simpsons, and mainly based upon criticism revealed by the episode Blame it in Lisa. On the one hand, the text attests the capacity of Brazilians, by means of using communicative technologies, for reacting against the negative satirical portrait of Brazil and Brazilians and on the other, for rescuing this image, even if utilizing that simpsonized language . Research leads to the conclusion that Brazilian internauts and actual viewers do not watch The Simpsons passively but stand up against the unflattering insinuations in relation to Brazilian culture, society, history, folklore, Brazil and the Brazilian people, and try to rescue those images conveyed by the sitcom episodes, especially the ones in Blame it on Lisa . And yet, the text evidences that certain images of Brazil and Brazilians represented in the animated sitcom expresses the troublesome reality of truthfully and because of that they have become one of the thesis concerns and another significant aspect to be considered. Such images are the reason for the investigator s raising relevant questions and his strongly suggesting accurate reflection and discussion on such a matter.

The purpose of this thesis is to approach humor as the central element on Oduvaldo Vianna Filho Vianinha s work, through the analysis of the comedies that were written in the period before the blow of 1964 (Bilbao, Via Copacabana -1957, A Mais Valia vai Acabar Seu Edgar 1960, Cia.Amafeu de Brusso - 1961) and in the post-1964 (Dura Lex Sed Lex no Cabelo só Gumex 1967, AllegroDesbundaccio ou se Martins Pena Fosse Vivo -1973). Accordingly, the main argument is that the study of his comic works help us notice that under the weight of failure and perplexity against the blow, Vianinha turns into a critic of himself and the allegoric characters of the post-blow express the feeling of the contrary, in other words, the perception of a private that is the opposite of what it should be. The way he used humor on the post-blow period revealed absurd behaviors and situations, many times derived from the tragic, expressing on the narrative style a look to themselves and to the social group they were inserted in within the consumer society.

The cities are dynamic, therefore, your space is constantly changing to adapt the new urban realities and the news proposals of organization spatial. In Brazil, after the approval of the articles 182 and 183 of the Federal Constitution of 1988 and the Statute of the City, in 2001, news values guided the elaboration of plans directors; those plans became obligatory for the Brazilian cities with more than twenty thousand habitants. Through this study, I tried understand the process of transformation of the city of Uberlândia/MG, during the period from 1950 to 2010, which was marked by many proposals of planning. My objective was investigated when started the preoccupation with the organization spatial through of urban plans. The analysis of the plans directors of 1954 and 1994 contributed to us understand that the proposals exposed - at the time were implemented rarely benefit the population, because your participation in this process was very small. The emphasis given to the progress and the investment in modernization project materialized through actions developed to organize the urbanization and sanitation, the installation of industries, the transport system, creating another image of the city, where everything that represented the "delay" needed to give space to the "new". The changes also occurred in their habits and customs of the people who tried adapt according to the requirements of the new times. Therefore, was essential problematize the role of the social subjects, the uses that they does of the Center of the city and the speeches about the notion of progress that were built by the dominant class with views to inculcate in the population the ideals of modernity, progress and civility. Thereby of this analysis, I sought understanding how the practice of planning has contributed to the solution and/or maintenance of inequalities socio-spatial the urban structure of Uberlândia, giving emphasis to the center of the city.

This research, through the staging of Macunaíma, by Antunes Filho, in 1978, sought in the light of theoretical and methodological assumptions of Cultural History, seize the dialogue between arts and society, aesthetics and politics, history and theater and their contributions to the historiographical debate. In that perspective, looking into the theater produced by the director currently the coordinator of the Research Center of São Paulo Theatre enabled to view how engaged he was in the struggles of his time in favor of affirming national directors and the construction of a scenic language in Brazil. At a time when society lived under a state of exception, the \"leaden years\" marked by political persecution to the dissonant voices of the military regime, by will and restriction of cultural productions, the artist, through this historical context, resized his aesthetics language. Antunes s spectacle, by proposing a reflection on the character of Brazilian men, forms of consciousness and alienation, contributed to the modification of current theater parameters, marking the passage of a scene rooted in the verb to a scene based on the sign and which stands out the visual aspects. Considering the above, it was observed a refusal to politicized texts and the construction of a scene more and more aestheticized, in accordance with trends in contemporary theater. Thus, the formation work of the actor / creator considered the core element of the theater director from an internal path itself, based in the register consisting of the study of man and of Brazilian culture, was responsible for the outcome of a scene anthropological on stage at São Pedro Theater.

The main objective of this work consisted in establishing a wide interlocution among the several subjects involved with the sense productions about the Brazilian Cinema, taking the notion of modern as the reference for discussion. The analyses of texts and books produced by moviemakers and movie critics allowed the vision of articulated aspects which sustain the Modern Brazilian Cinema and it also allowed the problematization of the production places considering a specific speech and the implications produced by its institution as a regime of true. In order to confront the predominant explicative model in the historiography of Brazilian Cinema, movies and texts about the movie experimentalism highlighting the ones produced in the 1970s in the city of Teresina (PI) were used. This genre allowed, according to our point of view, the establishment of a new reading possibility of the Brazilian Culture of the 1960s and 1970s. Considering the conceptual aspect, this work aimed the benefits proposed by the post-structuralistic analyses of scholars as Michel Foucault, Hayden White, Keith Jenkins, among others.

He adult life was altered very much in the western modern societies. The redimensionamento of the parental authority, new educative standards, transformations in the relations of type and between generations they compose new social and familiar scenery. We bring modernpowders or pluralist near to the century XXI with the family, to the individualism and the relations descompromissada. In this slant when we think about our object of study: of making pregnant of adolescents in the century XXI, after the revolution of the pill and of the birth of the feminism, the act turns clear thinking which sense has this motherhood in this time of fluidity, ephemerality of the individual one, of the contemporary culture that puts languages, paradigms and projects on top. Which sense has this counter-power practised by them when they are opposed to the public politics and to a model established by the contemporary society, which translates the pregnancy in the adolescence like a problem and or I wander. This study was developed from written and oral fountains obtained with interviews you give adolescent pregnant women his companions and, when MG was located in the city of Uberlândia, We Notice his families that in spite of the thought \"hegemônico\", of mistake or problem translated by the media, by the programs of health, by the medical teaching itself, and for the contemporary world, the persons hold out and rewrite new judgements of values.

This work investigates the transformation of American perception of reality from the Colonization Conquest. The object of this study is the Alonso de Ercilla work, La Araucana, published in the late sixteenth century. When necessary we compare it with the narratives of those who participated directly or indirectly of discovery and conquest of America and Chile, specifically. We believe the conquest of Chile is one of the borderline cases in the \"American Adventure\" and their research, when using as sources the narratives already produced, we can explain how they were experienced, perceived and meant the changes occurred in the conquest processes. We believe that a careful reading of Ercilla\'s work allows us to understand the critique of Colonialism. For both called into question the justification of European presence in America. For development of this analysis, we place the work of Ercilla in his time, analyzing the canons in force at the time, especially the sixteenth century poetry. In addition, we studied the construction of the poem and its main responsible characters, with its moral and physical characterizations and especially with his speeches. We study it for presenting that face criticism of colonial processes that were taking place. We conclude this study about readings of the work carried out in the seventeenth that discussed and proposed solutions to the araucana question\" and its projection in the constitution of the republican Nation State of Chile in the nineteenth century.

This thesis sought to rebuild part of a rural culture, herein referred to as culture of violence from the historical narrative of the lifestyles and perceptions the inhabitants of remote regions in the region of the valleys around the Araguaia and Tocantins Rivers, a region consisting of the current state of Tocantins, former northern Goias, southern Pará and Maranhão, between 1830 and 1930. The historical representation woven into my narrative holds that that lifestyle and its representations, built by the rural folk at that time and in that space, are violent as a rule. This is the result of specific learning picked up through exposure to violence and such learning is embedded in the social memory of this region, and even in periods of relative tranquility this memory is brought to life by its inhabitants as required and in accordance with the interests of the individuals involved, which engenders and encourages new rounds of violence which, as a whole, have built a culture of violence.

This dissertation is about the city of Uberlândia produced and built in different historical memory registers. From different records of residents of this city, especially the neighborhood of President Roosevelt problematized property building memories rebuilt by the government or by the press in the first decades of the twenty-first century. Followed by workers who live and places I chose one of these: the neighborhood of President Roosevelt. To problematize some notions such as social housing and poor carried a political connotation which required residents to these places and ways of life to be accepted to the dominant city. I Problematize also questioned the idea that sometimes accepts the social spaces of Uberlândia City were built by the partnership-estate and overlook the empowerment of residents. Oral narratives were important to redesign social places and question certain memories that these subjects withdrew from the active role of city builders. The dialogue with the subjects were also fundamental to the interpretation of the sources produced by the press and understand the attempt to establish certain way about living in the city and how these change over the pressure of social subjects.

This research study examines the construction process of the Candonga hydroelectric dam, currently called Risoleta Neves, located between the municipalities of Santa Cruz do Escalvado and Rio Doce, in the Atlantic Rainforest Zone of the state of Minas Gerais, so as to understand the fabric of hegemony surrounding this project. Its guiding principle is the investigation of how the workers from São Sebastião do Soberbo, a rural district submerged by the dam, rebuild their lives amid feelings of loss, new production conditions and sociability. The methodology focuses on the historical logic proposed by Edward Thompson in order to highlight the real formative movements of consciousness. In this sense, the study aims to endorse the values of dispossessed workers, especially those who have an alternative definition of property, which was conceived by means of a lived social process that expresses customs, practices and expectations. Therefore, it employs oral sources, newspapers, documents produced by the companies of the Candonga Consortium, Environmental Impact Assessments, Environmental Impact Reports, photographs, etc. By means of the concepts encompassed by Marxism, the study endeavors to critique capitalism in its current format, on the premise of its historicity, its systemic origin, its unifying logic and its social roots, whose meaning has become an important identifier due to the bias of the worker s experience.
