The sense of the urban patrimony, in the history of the cities, corresponds to the action of forming, to constitute and to protect a group of material and symbolic goods, with intention of preserving them to the future generations, through the tombamento instrument, or intuitive processes. In Brazil, after having instituted the tombamento with the Federal Law n.º 25/1937, grew up the notions of historical patrimony, historical monument and historical city. In Uberlândia, mineira city, however a city no historical , while the oldest architectures were tumbled as historical patrimony, the oldest place of the city passed to be denominated of Fundinho, a historical district. The objective of that work was to study Fundinho, among the decades of 1980-90, when began the creation, in his territorial forms, clearly on the urban nucleus. It was important to consider the two speeches and courses of the patrimony: the one of preserving it in the time to feed the memory with the memories of the places and of preserving the patrimony in the space to feed the architectures as "places of memory."

The coffee began in the 1970s, employs a large number of rural workers, based on these data we elected to begin this decade also to my research, so the period of coverage is from 1973 until the year 2008. In this timeline I try to analyze and understand the experiences of workers within the social, reflecting through their experiences gathered in their interviews. The memory is perceived here as something built into the living historical process, so the lines are drawn from a common point that is social, as an environment crisscrossed by struggles and conflicts among the people who constitute it. I bring as a source not only oral but also written, use the Journal of Patrocínio, informational Acarpa - Association of Coffee Growers of Patrocínio, newsletters and manuals on the Nintendo - Center for Inter-Labor Conciliation, such as data and information coming from City Hall Patrocínio.

In this dissertation we present an historical panorama of the introduction of genetically modified organisms (transgenics) in Brazil, its repercussion and the social debate about several controverse aspects of this new technological product. In front of every group s view, we argued regarding the ambiguous centrality of technology at the contemporaneous world, presenting the possible reasons of lengthy divergence among the several agents involved in. One central subject guides this research: why the genetically modified seeds still nowadays didn t have a satisfactory and definitive legal resolution in Brazil, in the meaning of regard the demands indicated by the civil groups? This debate was polarized between two groups whom not very dialog for don t agree with the opposed argumentations to their stands. In one hand, we had the genetically modified seeds defenders, like a part of the rural producers, the farming industry, the scientists connected to biotechnological research centers, speaking by the science and the national economics and developmental interests. On the other hand, we have the environmentalists, non-governmentalist organizations and civil groups defending a science s ethical posture, sustainable ecological practices, the small producers and the consumers rights. In the midst of the contest, the Brazilian government has manifested contradictory trying to conduce this political state of affairs mediating these several interests on dispute.

This paper problematizes the social experiences lived by different workers in Uberlândia/MG considering some of the political intervention projects dedicated to reorganizing and making the city public areas more adequate, during the years of 2000 to 2009, more specifically, during the campaign Uberlândia without alms to prevent begging and the Project Olho Vivo - to prevent criminality. I analyse the lifestyle of a typical group of workers from Uberlândia beggars, flanelinhas , street salespeople, paper collectors and wagoners aiming to comprehend, not only how these subjects leave their traces on the city day by day, but mainly, how they reconstruct their values, meanings and expectations about surviving in Uberlândia. It s of vital value to investigate, via workers life stories, their way of seeing social relations without, however, losing sight of their daily struggle for the right to belong in the city, the tensions and resistances, the power relations, problematizing the ways their memories are elaborated throughout time. Amidst the scenario of conflicting relations, I prioritize the data analysis and daily happenings in the city, especially those narrated by the local press Jornal Correio as a way to perceive how the city of Uberlândia and its workers, as a consequence, are considered by the dominant class.

The present dissertation has the intention to comprehend the transformations in the work relations and life of thousands of workers in our society that happened, mostly, during the decades of 1990 and 2000, analyzing interviews with assistant attendants of the city of Uberlândia in Minas Gerais, and see how they feel and understand their work for these companies. The issue of time, techniques and technologies were dealt with the aim to comprehend how workers and their bosses have new habits, customs and values in society, changes which occur very fast in their lives, causing many times harmful consequences to their physical and mental well-being. Finally, the analysis of the process of the flexibility related to work by interviews with the workers, analysis of booklets produced by companies and the dialogue with authors of several areas of knowledge provided plenty of reflection relevant to the discussion about contemporary capitalist relations, emphasizing the assistant attendants of Uberlândia, once ―call centers‖ can be considered a privileged environment where the changes in life and work of different people can be noticed with great intensity.

The subject of this study, Leisure, cinema and modernity: a study on the cinema in Montes Claros (MG) - 1900-1940 , refers to an investigation about the genesis of the exhibition circuit of cinema in Montes Claros and about the different ways of leisure which were found on the public space of the abovementioned town. Another purpose of this research was to reflect on how modernity was configured in this county. The sources used in this research were of different origins. From a range of sources, one could notice that throughout the 19th century, between 1840 and 1880, Montes Claros had an important role in regional trade. Thus, the opening of new streets, the fruitful trade with neighbor cities, the installation of plant tissues at Cedro, the arrival of the telegraph and the display of the cosmorama (among other situations and events in the final years of the 19th century) represented the preeminence of urban underway in Montes Claros. However these different events had not patented merely economic changes. Concomitant to all these changes, it was found that some circus companies, itinerant theater groups (called mambembes ) and performances of prestidigitation which came upon the public scene of the small town revealed that the region of Montes Claros had no artistic isolation. The performances of the mamembes had prepared the public for the advent of optical and audio entertainment, and also for the cinema at the dawn of the 20th century, because they were close to the seventh art, since they arouse the shock, surprise, enthusiasm, excitement and rush. All these features correspond, thus, to stimuli similar to those coming from modern changes, such as traffic, machinery, transportation, city lights, urban clusters and different noises. The mediation of cinema and the inauguration of the theaters along with the building improvements and installation of modern projection equipment, the progress in Montes Claros began to be operated and became active. Thus, through the discourse of newspapers, the cinema became a reference of what was modern , civilized , progress and also a way of identification in order to evaluate the city as a northeastern metropolis , a northern metropolis , a polite society . Finally, one could notice that in the current economic environment of the cinema, which is characterized by the concentration of the theaters and of the economic resources, there is a small chance, especially in Montes Claros, of existing a traditional familiar exhibitor, who decides to build or adapt a place to film exhibitions and, for this purpose, signs a contract with a company or distributor responsible for equipping the film exhibitor house with films.

Desde el inicio de nuestras investigaciones, el uso de las religiones cristianas por los candidatos a cargos políticos nos despertó la atención y fundamentó el problema inicial para el desarrollo de la presente investigación. Tras el recogimiento de fuentes, tales como panfletos, cartas de pedidos, actas de la Cámara Municipal, entrevistas, entre otros, percibimos que tal práctica era marcado en la campaña de varios candidatos. Desde entonces ampliamos el foco de nuestras preguntas y de nuestros cuestionamientos, pues se era perceptible que los candidatos utilizan comúnmente la religión como una forma de conquista del voto, pasó a ser igualmente importante percibir como los representantes del clero y liderazgos religiosos percibían tales prácticas. Además, se volvió imprescindible comprender también la reacción de la población, especialmente de los electores, delante de ese cuadro. En el caso de los liderazgos religiosos cristianos, constatamos que el apoyo de las Iglesias Católicas y Evangélicas se daba de forma explícita. En cuanto a los electores, observamos al investigar los archivos de 2000 a 2004 de la Cámara Municipal de Montes Claros que, de hecho, la población demostraba ser agente de las relaciones políticas que, más que nunca, estaban en disputa. En algunas correspondencias enviadas a los miembros del legislativo sus signatarios demostraron que no aceptan pasivamente las problemáticas que irrumpen del cotidiano y, de esta forma, buscan resolver sus problemas exigiendo de los candidatos constantemente sus derechos. Interesante fue notar que, en la mayoría absoluta de las cartas de pedidos recogidas, comúnmente los ciudadanos usan también el lenguaje religioso cristiano con el objetivo de lograr realizar sus anhelos; generalmente un pedido de empleo. En ese parámetro, desde el análisis de la documentación arriba citada, la cuestión central de la disertación fue percibir en lugares y eventos políticos de la ciudad la presencia de la Religión, o de religiones las cuales, a ejemplo de otros contextos y temporalidades históricas de la humanidad, sirvieron para justificar, explicar, modificar, o mantener prácticas sociales. En otras palabras, el lenguaje religioso, generalmente ha sido utilizado en la búsqueda de resoluciones para problemas sociales. Esa disputa se encuentra ubicada en las diferentes problemáticas que nortean los objetivos políticos, instituciones religiosas y los demás ciudadanos que construyen la Historia de esta ciudad.
