  • 1 a Portuguese Town in Río De La Plata
    1 A Portuguese Town in Río de la Plata In February 1680, don Manoel Lobo, governor of Rio de Janeiro, founded a Portuguese settlement on the northern bank of the Río de la Plata. This settlement, Colônia do Santíssimo Sacramento, located thirty miles and across the river from Buenos Aires, marked the southernmost commercial and territorial expansion of the Portuguese in the Americas. Colônia was created to reestablish profitable commercial routes between Río de la Plata and Luso-America that had flourished during the Iberian Union (1580–1640). From 1680 to 1777 it served as a profitable entrepôt for tran- simperial trade. Considered by many a nest of smugglers, it became a wealthy, populous port city and was a hot spot of powerful and long- standing networks of trade between Spanish and Portuguese merchants. From its founding, Colônia’s transimperial commerce paved the way for the trade connections that characterized Montevideo’s merchant commu- nity in the late eighteenth century. In fact, Atlantic trade and transimperial connections between Luso- American and Spanish American merchants were the main forces behind the development of this Luso-Platine urban center.1 The vitality of transim- perial trade in Colônia allowed for consistent population growth, including free immigrants and a significant contingent of enslaved Africans.

  • Relatorio Planejamento 2004
    Funarte - Relatório de atividades/2004 1 Bons motivos levam a Funarte a olhar pelo retrovisor e fazer um balanço de 2004. São muitas ações, e várias estão em pleno movimento, vivas, na rua. Ações formatadas, cuidadosamente, para superar novos e antigos desafios da cultura brasileira. Quero lembrar que 2004 não foi um ano qualquer. Não me recordo, na história recente do país, de tamanho debate em torno de políticas culturais. De tantas vozes e fóruns para debater políticas públicas de música, artes cênicas e artes visuais. O assunto parece ganhar finalmente o seio da opinião pública, que lhe garante o devido espaço e atenção. Não é para menos, afinal, existe na Funarte o respaldo institucional para algumas das artes que fazem parte do cotidiano da população. A Funarte tem sido, no âmbito do Ministério da Cultura, uma casa estratégica para o amadurecimento desta imprescindível formulação. Hoje temos a determinação de construir estas políticas, sempre de forma democrática, garantindo a ampla participação da sociedade. A tradição da Funarte passa, necessariamente, por interagir com o novo e adequar- se institucionalmente. Em 2004, reconheceu a singularidade da dança no mundo das artes cênicas, criando uma coordenação específica para o setor. Criou também a Coordenação Nacional do Circo e contemplou, ao longo do ano, um total de 50 projetos de companhias, empresas, grupos e trupes de espetáculos circenses. A Funarte também é a casa de programas culturais de grande êxito popular. Suspenso há sete anos, o Projeto Pixinguinha foi retomado com sucesso, percorrendo as cinco regiões do país. Foram 39 cidades brasileiras visitadas até novembro, com espetáculos que mobilizaram músicos, cantores, diretores, produtores e técnicos — afora as demais ocupações temporárias para os técnicos.

  • Breve Notícia Sobre Fotos De Índios Em Arquivos Do Rio De Janeiro (1)
    1 Breve notícia sobre fotos de índios em arquivos do Rio de Janeiro (1) José Ribamar Bessa Freire Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ) Resumo: Esta comunicação apresenta aos pesquisadores da área um conjunto de informações sobre os acervos fotográficos existentes em 12 grandes arquivos, localizados no Rio de Janeiro, mas com cobertura de âmbito nacional, destacando dentro deles as coleções e fundos com imagens relacionadas à temática indígena. Identifica, localiza, descreve e contextualiza o conteúdo básico dos acervos selecionando, da massa expressiva de dados, algumas séries de documentos iconográficos, que tentam apreender as sociedades indígenas em suas especificidades e em suas relações com a sociedade nacional. O trabalho apresenta elementos da relevância dessa documentação histórica para a discussão de identidade, etnicidade e interculturalidade no contexto do processo de construção da memória nacional. Palavras-Chave: Acervos fotográficos, Índios, História COMUNICAÇÃO No ano de 1865, o fotógrafo suiço, A. Frisch, montou uma laboratório fotográfico dentro de uma canoa e viajou nela ao longo do rio Amazonas. Em sua passagem por Manaus, documentou a presença de índios destribalizados na periferia da cidade e aí fotografou os últimos índios Passé, etnia hoje extinta. Subiu o rio Solimões na mesma canoa-estúdio e retratou guerreiros Amaúa paramentados com suas armas e ornamentos, um cacique ticuna em sua maloca, alguns Miranha carregando cachos de banana pacovã em Fonte Boa, além de cenas de caça protagonizadas por vários

  • Air Pollution Costs Lives, Researchers Say
    Air pollution costs lives, researchers say HIGHLIGHTS N.C. BREATHE conference Friday at UNCC Center City Air pollution contributes to 5.5 million deaths a year worldwide BY BRUCE HENDERSON [email protected] Recent findings underscore the cost of air pollution on human health, and the benefits of reducing it, researchers said Friday at the N.C. BREATHE conference in Charlotte. While pollution is rarely a direct cause of death, it raises risks that can shave years off an individual’s life. One recent study placed air pollution as the fifth-highest risk factor globally, contributing to 5.5 million deaths in 2013. The first BREATHE conference was held in Raleigh last year. It moved to UNC Charlotte Center City as UNCC’s “Keeping Watch” initiative focuses this year on air quality, said June Blotnick of Clean Air Carolina, one of the event’s sponsors. Air pollutants come to life on the side of the UNCC Center City building each night through April 23. The “Particle Falls” animation measures fine airborne particles in real time and displays them in a stream of light. Fine particles, which come from dust, motor vehicles or industries, are particularly lethal. One-thirtieth the width of a human hair, they work deeply into the lungs and were linked to 3.2 million deaths worldwide in 2010, said scientist Antonella Zanobetti of Harvard University’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Zanobetti cited a study showing that exposure to particles is more likely to lead to hospitalization for patients with Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease.
