History and Background of BRAZIL On April 22, 1500, a Portuguese guide called Pedro Averse Cabral reached the shores of Brazil. The country took its name from “brazil wood”, a redwood tree commonly found along the Brazilian coastline that was normally used to dye garments back in Europe. In 1494, the "Treaty of Tordesillas" between Spain and Portugal established the dispute about lands yet to be discovered. According to the agreement, territories lying east of an imaginary north-south line located 370 leagues west of Cape Verde Islands would belong to Portugal, and lands to the west of that unreal line would be under Spanish control. This division, extending from pole to pole, dissected the easternmost part of the South American continent and distinct Brazil's first frontier (although the discovery by Pedro Alvares Cabral did not take place until six years later, in 1500). Brazil is among the nations that have been considerably shaped by geography and culture. Brazil being the main nation in South America has also been the source of many of the central natural resources such as coffee, sugar and timber. The culture is a major budding fusion of African, indigenous Indians and Portuguese influences, all of which have left a stain on Brazilian society leading to a totally different and wealthy culture. Brazilian culture has overtime been known of free, hospitality and rhythmic and colorful activities such as carnival. Since Brazil predominant religion is Catholicism, many of the events are catholic influenced. The range of Brazilian culture is moreover emphasizing by the common class differences which filter through almost in all aspects of the society. Coming to an sympathetic of Brazilian society, its distinctive values and attitudes of the people will greatly help one to found up a superior relationship and carry out business more successfully with the Brazilians. How did Brazil become independent from Portugal? In the first decade of the 19th century, Europe was in disorder. France's attempt to rule Europe met with English confrontation, and, as consequence, Napoleon tried to prevent other countries from trading with England. Claiming neutrality,Portugal sustained to honor previous trade treaty with England. But France & Spain sign the Treaty of Fontainebleau in 1807 and decided to divide Portugal between them. Soon after that, Napoleon prearranged an attack of Portugal. Before Napoleon’s troops could get to Portugal, Queen Maria I and her son, Prince Joao VI left the country and sailed to Brazil. They arrived in January 1808, and remained until 1821. Napoleon's dominance of Portugal had ended in 1815, because Joao VI chose to stay in Rio de Janeiro, even after the death of his mother in 1816. In 1821, however, he yielded to political pressure from Portugal, and returned to Lisbon, leaving Pedro, the Crown Prince, in Rio as "Regent Viceroy ". The presence of the royal family for a period of 14 years considerably changed Brazil’s economic environment. The country came to know a higher level of autonomy and modernization. Joao VI nullified earlier Portuguese laws that prohibited local manufacturing of textiles, gunpowder, and glass, as well as the building of wheat mills. These events were adopted as a means to ease the transition toward political independence. Back in Lisbon, politicians did not like the way things were leaving, whereas in Brazil Pedro's adviser promoted the idea of independence. Barely a year after Joao VI's return to Portugal, the Crown Prince proclaimed the independence from Portugal, on September 7, 1822, and had himself crowned Emperor of Brazil, below the name Pedro I. While the Spanish viceroyalties in the Americas had to fight fiercely for their independence, to end up as several diverse republics, Portugal and Brazil settled the matter by negotiation, with Great Britain acting as a broker.

  • Translating Brazil: from Transnational Periodicals to Hemispheric Fictions, 1808-2010
    Translating Brazil: From Transnational Periodicals to Hemispheric Fictions, 1808-2010 By Krista Marie Brune A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Natalia Brizuela, Co-chair Professor Candace Slater, Co-chair Professor Scott Saul Spring 2016 Abstract Translating Brazil: From Transnational Periodicals to Hemispheric Fictions, 1808-2010 by Krista Marie Brune Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures University of California, Berkeley Professor Natalia Brizuela, Co-chair Professor Candace Slater, Co-chair This dissertation analyzes how travel and translation informed the construction of Brazil as modern in the 19th century, and how similar processes of transnational translation continue to shape the cultural visibility of the nation abroad in the contemporary moment. By reading journals, literary works, and cultural criticism, this study inserts Brazilian literature and culture into recent debates about translatability, world literature, and cosmopolitanism, while also underscoring the often-overlooked presence of Brazilians in the United States. The first half of the dissertation contends that Portuguese-language periodicals Correio Braziliense (London, 1808-1822), Revista Nitheroy (Paris, 1836), and O Novo Mundo (New York, 1870-1879) translated European and North American ideas of technology and education to a readership primarily in Brazil. The transnational circulation of these periodicals contributed to the self- fashioning of intellectuals who came to define the nation. To suggest parallels between Brazil and the United States in the late 19th century, the analysis of O Novo Mundo focuses on discourses of nation, modernity, and technological progress emerging in the hemispheric travels of scientists, intellectuals, and the Brazilian empire Dom Pedro II, and in the national displays at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia.

  • Music Censorship and Brazilian Popular Music (MPB) Throughout Brazil’S Civil-Military Dictatorship (1964-1985)
    THAIS NICODEMO Music Censorship and Brazilian Popular Music (MPB) throughout Brazil’s Civil-Military Dictatorship (1964-1985) Introduction: Popular music as an eminent threat This article presents a panoramic view on the relationship between popular music and censorship during civil-military regime in Brazil (1964-1985). The research is based on the analysis of several documents produced during the period held at the Arquivo Nacional (National Archive), in Brasília. Among the documents in the archive are orig- inal versions of lyrics, censors’ reports and letters addressing censorship, written by record label personnel and artists, advocating the approval of prohibited songs. Although there have been extensive and important studies on censorship in this period, the specific subject of music censorship has still been little explored in the academic field in Brazil and has been gaining more attention since the opening of the music censorship archives to public consultation in the early 1990s. In 2012, the Comissão Nacional da Verdade (National Truth Commission) was created, aiming to investigate human right violations by the state, especially during the civil-military dictatorship in Brazil, giving particular attention to several documents produced dur- ing the regime, including censorship documents. This fact represents the possibil- ity of a revision of Brazil’s history and stimulates civil society to debate about the dictator ship period, which still leaves strong traces in the recent and fragile trajectory of democracy in the country. When I consulted the material at the Arquivo Nacional, in 2013, the documents were in a poor state of conservation, without detailed cata- loguing of content.

  • A History of Age-Rating Television in Brazil
    International Journal of Communication 13(2019), 1167–1185 1932–8036/20190005 The Children Are Watching: A History of Age-Rating Television in Brazil LIAM GREALY1 CATHERINE DRISCOLL The University of Sydney, Australia ANDREA LIMBERTO The National Service for Commercial Education and University of São Paulo, Brazil Histories of Brazilian media regulation typically emphasize a major transformation with the passing of the federal constitution in 1988, contrasting censorship during the military period of 1964‒1985 with age rating, or “indicative classification,” thereafter. Contemporary conflicts among child advocates, television broadcasters, and the state as monitor of the industry’s self-regulation are grounded in a much longer history of age rating in popular media. Drawing on an examination of files from Brazil’s Ministry of Justice and interviews with current examiners, this article provides a history of age ratings for television in Brazil and of the processes by which classification decisions are made. We argue that the desire to limit young people’s access to television through age ratings has had significant ramifications in Brazil, evident in the formation of legal regimes, reform of institutional practices, and even the revision of time zones. Keywords: media classification, age rating, youth, minority, time zones, legal reform, Brazilian television, telenovelas The passing of Brazil’s federal constitution in 1988 was a central achievement in the nation’s transition from a prolonged era of military government to renewed democracy. Regarding media regulation, the constitution is usually understood as a shift from state-led censorship characterized by inconsistency, opaque decision making, and restrictions on political criticism to protected freedom of expression with media subjected to a system of differentiated age-based classifications.
