Orientador: Dr. César Augusto Barcellos Guazzelli Porto Alegre 2011 AGRADECIMENTOS Quero agradecer a todos aqueles que, de alguma forma, contribuíram para a minha graduação e para que este trabalho fosse possível. Em primeiro lugar, aos professores do curso de História da UFRGS, pelas aulas, ensinamentos e indicações, contribuindo de forma essencial para a minha formação acadêmica. Em especial, aos membros da banca avaliadora, por sua disponibilidade, e ao professor César A. B. Guazzelli, pela orientação e apoio a esta pesquisa. Quero dedicar este trabalho aos meus familiares, em especial a meus pais, José Paulo e Adriane, e a meu irmão, Gabriel, pelo apoio e incentivo que sempre me deram. Por fim, mas de modo algum menos importante, aos meus amigos, pela motivação, companheirismo e pela valiosa, duradoura e sincera amizade, sem a qual este trabalho não seria possível.

I appreciate her as a reputed academic but, more importantly, I highly esteem her as a wonderful woman with whom I have shared much more than an academic project. This study would very likely not have been possible without the presence, support and enthusiasm of an exceptional friend, my dearest Pilar Escriche. Since the time we both decided to embark on our doctoral studies, we have shared moments of despair and pessimism but also hope, excitement and joy. I haven’t enough words to express my love and admiration for such a unique friend.
