Museu do Amanhã A MUSEUM FOR RIO AND ITS NEW AGE Everyone who lands at a port – any port – has the awareness, if not the vision, that a future is about to unfold. They sense that this future is not something distant in time and abstract: it begins now, always at the moment in which one’s feet, previously on the deck of a ship, in the uncertainty (and infinite possibilities) of the sea, touch the well-trodden stones of the quay, as in a famous samba song. For many of the men and women who have arrived at the Port of Rio de Janeiro over time, the future and its possibilities often seemed uncertain. However, despite the inevitably One of the greatest legacies of the revitalization unpromising setting, it was these men and of Rio’s port region is certainly the opportunity women who to a large extent built the city of to reexamine this history.

Her research interest has been in Ethnohistory and, in broad terms, in the interdisciplinary dialogues between anthropology, history and literary criticism. Her work on North-Amazonian ethnohistory in the early 1990’s resulted in a book – As muralhas dos sertões: os povos indígenas no rio Branco e a colonização, Paz e Terra/Anpocs, 1991 – and articles on the subject. Her fieldwork concerned social memory and rhetorical practices among the Wapishana (As flores da fala: práticas retóricas entre os Wapishana, unpublished PhD thesis, USP and other published articles). In recent years, she has been working on animal rights and alternative projects of nature in historical perspective.

  • The Role of the Brazilian Ports in the Improvement of the National Ballast
    The Role of the Brazilian Ports in the Improvement of the National Ballast Water Management Program According the Provisions of the International Ballast Water Convention Uirá Cavalcante Oliveira The United Nations-Nippon Foundation Fellowship Programme 2007 - 2008 DIVISION FOR OCEAN AFFAIRS AND THE LAW OF THE SEA OFFICE OF LEGAL AFFAIRS, THE UNITED NATIONS NEW YORK, 2008 DISCLAIMER The views expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Government of Brazil, the United Nations, the Nippon Foundation of Japan, Tulane University, or those of the Brazilian National Agency for Waterway Transportation. © 2008 Uirá Cavalcante Oliveira. All rights reserved. - i - Abstract Ballast water is the water used by ships for obtaining draft, trim, or stability; and usually it is taken and discharged into port areas during operations of unloading and loading cargoes. Ballast water has been identified as the main vector for the introduction of alien and harmful organisms into coastal zone waters, from which can originate ecological, social and economic impacts. In response to this problem, the International Maritime Organization has adopted the “International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments” (2004), which was partially internalized in Brazil through a federal norm named NORMAM-20 that provides the general IMO guidelines for ships exchanging their ballast water in oceanic waters beyond 200 nm. However, this measure presents limitations and a considerable number of vessels probably do not comply, or do so only partially. Therefore, the ballast water oceanic exchange cannot totally assure the prevention of new introductions.
