The purpose of this paper is analyze crime-processes related to cases of sexual violence caused by fathers against daughters with ages between zero and seventeen years old at the decades of 1940, 1950, 1960 and 1970, in the city of Uberlândia at the state of Minas Gerais. Were used registries presented on the records to examine the relationship between imaginary of fear, construction and deconstruction of the notion and concept of what violence is, speech and juridical actions, silence and obscurity involving incest, power relations that exist in these practices, among others. Studies was made about the existence of a moralist and conservative speech that seem to intend on reversing the roles of each individual involved in such crimes, in other words, to transform victims into defendants and accused into victims. In this context, was possible to discuss the role of forensic medicine in justice s performance before a sexual violence crime. Afterwards, the text brings an argumentation about a specific juridical record, which makes us think about how the appropriation of moral values that exists on our society was made by the juridical speech. And so, we can understand a little of how the legal processes works, how the juridical speech is created, and how the victims are in a certain way silenced.

I also aimed to question images and project that have been developed in recent decades and which set Itumbiara at the idea of achieved city , city of progress , city for all . In this way, the goal was to place these perspectives in the same historical process that they developed within disputes, consensus, negotiations and contradictions, looking not just stay on the simple challenge of prospects which are thought as unique. Closely monitor how these black workers live this/in this city in terms of unequal conditions and how they deal with a common field of possibilities that establish in society, contributed much to the disclosure of individuals living their culture not only as a tradition and/or folklore, but as a way of life and way to fight.

It is thus to study the yards from a movement created by the workers in the city of Uberlandia and as an expression of struggle, endurance, resistance and complicity in the face of dominant vectors in the city. It is seeking, through this work, to identify mechanisms of how the workers could, about a religion, to build experience and festivals, songs, colors, aromas, and thus spread through the city a significant amount of yards of worship of deities. Thus, we identified these practices a form of expression dealing with the city, expressed either as resistance and confrontation, or as acceptance and resignation by individuals practicing the cult of deities. It is, in short, to identify how and why many workers do, the terraces of faith, a significant space in which values, community, struggles, victories, defeats and a universe of feelings are experienced in every corner, in every flavor in each color.

This essay raises issues about studies elaborated by some scholars in Paraguay s war (1864 1870) from two symbological characters: Paraguay and Francisco Solano Lopez. The selected authors for this research treat Paraguay, since the period of colonization and/or from its independence (1811), and Solano Lopez, paraguayan president (1862 1870), with special focus, but with no similar perspectives; this enables to confront the different issues to notice the divergences, the convergences and the compliments. This way, there is an effort to dialogue with the other authors and make them dialogue among themselves so that the statute of the truth, pursued in the studies through the coherence and conviction of the arguments, can be emphasized and inquired. Therefore, the aim proposed in this work is to critically analyze the single image buildings, which allowed divergent configurations about Paraguay and Solano Lopez as important characters. This is one of the possible ways to think about the conflict in the middle of the 19th century and to understand some explaining arguments that turned out in a multiple and intriguing interpretation of the same historical fact: Paraguay s War.

The purpose of this study was understanding and historicizing the theatrical text Torquemada (1971), by the way of the investigation of representations built about torture during the brazilian dictatorship s period by the dramatist Augusto Boal and also through the connections of the dramatic form on which the play is settled the curinga system with the social experience. We found out that in the preparation of characters acting there was an intention of the author to provoke a determinate effect in the reader/spectator, that s ever oscillating and non-excluding: sometimes using resources to suscitate the identification with the victims of torture, sometimes promoting the right critical distance to stir up repugnance against the violence shown in almost all the scenes. However, for the understanding of the narrative s organization with variable ways of implication of the reader/spectator in regard to the scene (identification or distance) was needful to reflect, previously, about the dramatist s creative process, searching the references and the repertory utilized by him. We detached the questions relative to the Teatro de Arena s public, on which we took as reference the testimonies of the group s members and also the interpretations of critics and academics studies after accomplished, as well as the stanislaviskian and brechtian references on the Boal s artistical activity. After that, we d focus the discussion about the elaboration and reproduction of a specific theatrical language the curinga system by means of the theoretical texts written by Augusto Boal and the interpretations elaborated by critics and academicians. At last, we sought to interpret the dramatic text Torquemada, taking into consideration that form doesn t exist in itself, but that the curinga system s structure just make sense when it s associated with a transmited content.

Oduvaldo Vianna Filho, Vianinha, played an important role in the dramaturgical scene in Brazil. Exponent of so-called political theater of the 1960s and 1970s, he joined the Arena, the UNE's CPC and the Opinion Group. Versatile creator, his texts walk from comedy to farce, passing through the drama, and what can be observed in all of them is the full field of theatrical carpentry. This versatility has been extended to works produced in the emerging television networks in the country, which meant that in 1970 the author integrates the playwriting team of the already prominent Rede Globo. In Globo TV Network, Vianinha rethought, along with Armando Costa, the series The Great Family, and was author of some episodes of Special Cases program. His playwriting has been studied with increasing frequency in graduate programs in the country. What one observes, however, is that there is a preference for his theatrical drama, very few works being produced about his soap operas. The perception of this gap and the value of texts written for television, especially his adaptations of classical literature for the Special Cases program, underpinned the development of the dissertation presented here. Here we present and discuss the debate that the author embarked on mass culture in Brazil, seeking, from these testimonials, tips and explanations for his actions in that environment, despite his criticisms and his attachment to the PCB. Vianinha s voice is promoted by the intersection of the content of his interviews, his plays, whose characters are professionals of mass media, and the content of scripts designed by him. From the presentation of these scripts, we can see how the author transposed to the Brazilian universe texts designed in periods and societies very different from those in which he lived, an if he held or not the objectives pursued with its theatrical drama, which were representation and recovery of a typically popular culture and awareness of his public on problems that plagued Brazil of the "economic miracle". Among the screenplays written by Vianinha, one especially gratified him - to the point of considering it his best work in television - his adaptation of Greek tragedy, written by Euripides, Medea. Given the beauty of the text and its staging and the lack of analysis of the scene of his soap operas, we finished the job with a detailed analysis of the scene, highlighting the effectiveness of its staging to television language - which exposes the full fielding of the medium by the author - and the new possibilities of interpretation of his Jason, other than a vile traitor, perceived by the interpretive tradition of the original book and its adaptations over the centuries, detail that reveals one of the most valuable features of the author, his humanistic verve, born of his in depth perception about the Brazilian reality. So we tried to contribute to studies on the playwriting of Oduvaldo Vianna Filho and on the history of television in Brazil.
