Abstract

Neste sexto volume da coletânea Revisitando o Território Fluminense, com o primeiro título publicado há quatorze anos e organizada no Núcleo de Geografia Fluminense (NEGEF) do Instituto de Geografia – UERJ, foram convidados pesquisadores doutores de diversas instituições e profissionais que concluíram recentemente pesquisas em nível de mestrado e doutorado. Com temáticas variadas (tributação imobiliária, fragilidade ambiental, sustentabilidade, agricultura familiar etc.), todas as pesquisas encontram um denominador comum: possuem como recorte espacial o estado do Rio de Janeiro. O território fluminense abarca uma gama de singularidades e particularidades, que se inter-relacionam com os acontecimentos contemporâneos em escala nacional e global. São permitidas, assim, reflexões, análises e discussões nas mais diferentes abordagens e propósitos.

Abstract

Licia do Prado Valladares's classic anthropological study of Brazil's vast, densely populated urban living environments reveals how the idea of the favela became an internationally establishedand even attractive and exoticrepresentation of poverty. The study traces how the term 'favela' emerged as an analytic category beginning in the mid-1960s, showing how it became the object of immense popular debate and sustained social science research. But the concept of the favela so favored by social scientists is not, Valladares argues, a straightforward reflection of its social reality, and it often obscures more than it reveals.The established representation of favelas undercuts more complex, accurate, and historicized explanations of Brazilian development. It marks and perpetuates favelas as zones of exception rather than as integral to Brazil's modernization over the past century.

Abstract

"O Estado do Rio de Janeiro atravessa sua pior crise fiscal, com desdobramentos em outras dimensões, dentre as quais destacamos a insegurança pública. As instituições públicas estaduais estão colocadas em xeque porque várias autoridades respondem por crimes de corrupção. O desemprego é o mais intenso entre as unidades da federação, o que tem sido agravado pelo atraso no pagamento de servidores e fornecedores do setor público. A sociedade experimenta grande perplexidade diante desse cenário, que se seguiu ao ambiente vibrante do período que antecedeu a realização das Olimpíadas de 2016. Como foi possível realizar tão importante evento e enfrentar uma situação tão adversa? O livro discute esse cenário sob uma abordagem dialógica que inclui a economia, as ciências sociais, a geografia e o direito. Reunindo especialistas dessas áreas no IV Seminário Rio de Janeiro, realizado na UERJ em agosto de 2017, as reflexões ali desenvolvidas estão sendo oferecidas ao público no presente livro."

Abstract

During the 1990's Rio de Janeiro earned the epithet of 'divided city,' an image underscored by the contrast between its upper-class buildings and nearby hillside 'favelas.' The city's cultural production, however, has been shaped by porous boundaries and multi-ethnic encounters. Drawing on a broad range of historical, theoretical and literary sources, Porous City generates new ways of understanding Rio's past, its role in the making of Brazilian culture, and its significance to key global debates about modernity and urban practices. This book offers an original perspective on Rio de Janeiro...

Abstract

"In From Sea-Bathing to Beach-Going B. J. Barickman explores how a narrow ocean beachfront neighborhood and the distinctive practice of beach-going invented by its residents in the early twentieth century came to symbolize a city and a nation. Nineteenth-century Cariocas (residents of Rio) ostensibly practiced sea-bathing for its therapeutic benefits, but the bathing platforms near the city center and the rocky bay shore of Flamengo also provided places to see and be seen. Sea-bathing gave way to beach-going and sun-tanning in the new beachfront neighborhood of Copacabana in the 1920s. This study reveals the social and cultural implications of this transformation and highlights the distinctive changes to urban living that took place in the Brazilian capital. Deeply informed by scholarship about race, class, and gender, as well as civilization and modernity, space, the body, and the role of the state in shaping urban development, this work provides a major contribution to the social and cultural history of Rio de Janeiro and to the history of leisure"--

Abstract

'Reading Rio de Janeiro' blazes a new trail for understanding the cultural history of 19th-century Brazil. To bring the social fabric of Rio de Janeiro alive, Zephyr Frank flips the historian's usual interest in literature as a source of evidence and, instead, uses the historical context to understand literature. By focusing on the theme of social integration through the novels of Jose de Alencar, Machado de Assis, and Aluisio Azevedo, the author draws the reader's attention to the way characters are caught between conflicting moral imperatives.
