SIGNED: -SQIliICO 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The completion of this dissertation would not have been possible without the help of many individuals and institutions, to whom I would like to extend my deeply felt thanlcs. I am grateful to the Department of History at the University of Arizona, the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation and the Tinker Foundation for providing me with the financial assistance necessary to carry out research in Brazil and to write the dissertation. I owe a special thanlcs to the director of the Arquivo Publico do Estado do Ceara in Fortaleza, Professor Walda Mota Weyne, for her support of my research. I also appreciate the assistance of all the archive's employees who put up with my unceasing requests for documents, and especially, Giuliarmo Fontana Ferreira, the UECE intern, who helped me locate many sources. At UFC, I thank Professor Jose Francisco Pinheiro for sharing with me his own work on Ceara. To my friends in Fortaleza, Saray, Isabela, Valcides and Silmara, I wish to express my gratitude for their solidarity, and for so graciously sharing with me their homes, Geraldo Azevedo, and Sundays at Praia do Futuro. In Cleveland, I would like to thank Professors Joyce Mastboom and Donald Ramos for opening the doors of the library at Cleveland State University. I thank my History professors at the University of Arizona who, throughout the years of my graduate career, guided and supported me in the path of becoming a historian. Professor Kevin Gosner encouraged me to continue on during the most difficult years of graduate school. To Professor Bill Beezley, I extend my thanks for his dedication in offering me opportunities for career development and for his commitment to my research in Brazil. Professor Donna Guy, now at Ohio State University, has taught me how to seriously engage gender in my work. I appreciate her comments on early chapter drafts, which helped me to not lose sight of issues of masculinity in Ceara. And to my dissertation advisor. Professor Bert J. Barickman, I owe my greatest debt of gratitude. His insightful comments on early dissertation chapters helped me to sharpen the focus of my analysis, and I thank him, again and again, for the patience and many hours he spent offering me editorial assistance. Professor Barickman's drive for excellence provided me with an example and inspiration to push myself harder and to achieve the best I could possibly achieve in all my academic work. I would also like to express my deep appreciation to my family, whose help has been significant in my pursuit and completion of a graduate degree. To my uncle Jaime Padilla, I am grateful for having encouraged me to think of graduate school as a possibility in my life. Many thanks to my cousins Edna and Henry Garcia, without whose generous aid, I would not have been able to begin the Ph.D. program. To my parents, Galo and Margarita Santos, I am grateful for having taught me perseverance. I also thanlc them for all the many different ways in which they have supported me throughout these years. And to my husband Sean, I cannot even begin to thank for his unceasing support and encouragement. Undoubtedly, it has been his comfort through the "rivers of tears" I shed in graduate school, his endurance, patience, editorial assistance, love, good food, and humor that have allowed me to come this far and complete this degree.

  • RONALD DAUS: Die Erfindung Des Kolonialismus
    R E VIE W S 365 RONALD DAUS: Die Erfindung des Kolonialismus . Wuppertal: Hammer Ver- lag, 1983. 382 pp., DM 24.80 In the German context considerable attention has been paid over the past decade to problems of cross-cultural or inter-cultural understanding and communication. In methodological terms this has taken place within the frame- work of the hermeneutics of the alien, or the "Other". The phenomenological underpinning of this approach often results in a curious neglect of the nexus of knowledge and power in historical contexts and this differentiates such studies from the related concerns of students of what might broadly be called the "colonial discourse". Attention to the latter has, of course, been greatly influenced by Edward Said's path-breaking "Orientalism" (1978) and it seems that one can speak now of an interdisciplinary area of concern where critical anthropologists, historians, literary critics and textual analysts interact to study and develop critiques of the way in which other societies are repre- sented and the interests that guide such representations . Daus' book on the "Invention of Colonialism ” moves in this area of concern, as the title itself suggests (one thinks of Hobsbawm's formulation about the in- vention of tradition), and its significance lies to a considerable extent in the fact that the hermeneutical model is used for studying colonial history with emancipatory intent. Daus intertwines two parallel themes to develop his argument. He studies Portugal' s "career" as a colonial power as a kind of paradigm for demonstrating how mercantile interests which grew into power relationships generated, constructed, "invented" beliefs, techniques and structures which in turn dominated their inventors.

  • Estruturalismo De Celso Furtado E O Neoestruturalismo De Fernando Fajnzylber: Preocupações Desenvolvimentistas
    Artigo Original ESTRUTURALISMO DE CELSO FURTADO E O NEOESTRUTURALISMO DE FERNANDO FAJNZYLBER: PREOCUPAÇÕES DESENVOLVIMENTISTAS CONVERGENTES Structuralism of Celso Furtado and the Neostructuralism of Fernando Fajnzylber: convergent developmental concerns Silvio Antonio Ferraz CARIO Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) [email protected] Lucas CORRÊA Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) [email protected] Maria Luísa Lacerda ALBERTÃO Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS) [email protected] RESUMO O estudo sobre desenvolvimento econômico foi central nas obras de Celso Furtado e Fernando Fajnzylber. Ambos tiveram passagem profissional pela CEPAL, cujo método histórico-estruturalista influenciou fortemente seus escritos ao longo do tempo. A preocupação em explicar as razões do atraso econômico da América Latina, levou a convergência de ideias em vários temas. Nesse sentido, o objetivo desse artigo é apresentar pontos comuns nos tratamentos sobre o progresso técnico, capital multinacional, desenvolvimento comparado, Estado e projeto nacional de desenvolvimento. Para tanto, recorreu-se às principais obras dos autores que tratam essas categorias de análise. No geral, os resultados apontam problemas econômicos estruturais e decisões políticas de desenvolvimento limitadas impossibilitaram a construção de um desenvolvimento capitalista mais autônomo. E, em linha com os autores, somente um projeto nacional de desenvolvimento de médio e longo prazos e voltado ao interesse da sociedade, pode sinalizar novos caminhos desenvolvimentistas. Palavras-chave: Desenvolvimento econômico. Pensamento de Celso Furtado e Fernando Fajnzylber. Progresso técnico. Projeto de desenvolvimento. ABSTRACT The study of economic development was central to the works of Celso Furtado and Fernando Fajnzylber. Both had professional experience at CEPAL, whose historical-structuralist method strongly influenced their writings over time.

  • O Economista E a Criação
    O economista e a criação 01/06/2012 Por Diego Viana | De São Paulo Furtado em 2000: pluridisciplinar, "ele foi o descobridor da dimensão cultural do desenvolvimento econômico e do subdesenvolvimento", diz Rosa, sua viúva Quando sucedeu a seu amigo Darcy Ribeiro como ocupante da cadeira de número 11 na Academia Brasileira de Letras, em 1997, Celso Furtado declarou que nunca pôde compreender a existência de um problema estritamente econômico. Para Furtado, toda questão econômica é também humana, ou seja, histórica, social e cultural. O economista, que foi ministro do Planejamento durante o governo de João Goulart (a partir de 1962), também ocupou o Ministério da Cultura sob José Sarney (de 1986 a 1988). Nascido em Pombal (PB) em 1920 e formado em direito pela Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (então Universidade do Brasil), Furtado foi um dos primeiros estudiosos a investigar o vínculo entre o desenvolvimento econômico e as manifestações culturais. Mas seria um erro descrever Furtado como um economista que se interessou pelo problema da cultura. O mais correto seria afirmar o contrário: Furtado chegou à teoria econômica por meio de suas reflexões sobre cultura e história. "Celso sempre foi muito pluridisciplinar", diz Rosa Freire d'Aguiar Furtado, viúva do economista e diretora do Centro Internacional Celso Furtado de Políticas para o Desenvolvimento. "Ele nunca separou a economia das outras disciplinas. Graças a isso, foi o descobridor da dimensão cultural do desenvolvimento econômico e do subdesenvolvimento." A evolução do pensamento de Furtado sobre economia e cultura, da década de 1970 até sua morte, em 2004, é explicitada no livro "Ensaios sobre Cultura e o Ministério da Cultura", editado por Rosa.

    FIRST SECTION Experiences of the Lahti project Marja Holmila Introduction The Lahti Project is a multi component community action programme aimed at the prevention of alcohol related harms. The project site is the city of Lahti in Finland. The project relies to a great extent on the work of local professionals. It includes work in developing local alcohol policy discussion, education and information, health care intervention for heavy drinkers, youth work, support for family members and server training. Formative, process and outcome evaluation research are being conducted in order to assess the impact of the project (Holmila 1992; 1995). The programme is an experimental one, and its purpose is to obtain information about the feasibility and possibilities of local prevention. For that reason research has an important role in the project. The programme started during the autumn of 1992, and was mostly finished by the end of 1994, even if some parts are still being continued. The final report is currently being written, and will contain description of the processes, research results of the community's life- styles, responses to alcohol use and evaluation of the project (Holmila 1996). This paper will not be a comprehensive presentation of the Lahti project. The paper gives a short summary of the project’s main features, and discusses in more detail some issues related to the process of working and the relations between research and action. Starting the project The initiative to start Lahti project came from several sources simultaneously. When the wish to start such action had developed independently both in the city of Lahti, among alcohol educators and among researchers, the project began without difficulties.

Cinema Novo: Brasil. the New Cinema of Brazil, begins October 1. and continues through I October 17th. Nine feature-length films;, the work of eight young directors; who represent the New Wave of Brazil^ will be shown along with a selection of short subjects. Adrienne Mancia, Assistant Curator, Department of Film, assembled the program. In the past seven years, the Brazilians have earned i+0 international awards. In Berlin, Genoa and Moscow. Brazilian film retrospectives have been held in acknowledgement of the vigorous Cinema Novo that has taken root in that country. Cinema Novo of Brazil has had a stormy history. The first stirring began in the early 50*8 with the discontent of young filmmakers who objected to imitative Hollywood musical comedies, known as "chanchadas," which dominated traditional Brazilian cinema. This protest found a response araong young film critics who were inspired by Italian neo- realism and other foreign influences to demand a cinema indigenous to Brazil. A bandful of young directors were determined to discover a cinematic language that would reflect the nation's social and human problems. The leading exponent of Cinema Novo, Glauber Rocha, in his late twenties, stated the commitLment of Brazil's youthful cineastes when he wrote: "In our society everything is still I to be done: opening roads through the forest, populating the desert, educating the masses, harnessing the rivers.

  • Hoyoung “Jodie” Moon Reed College Marrying Into South Korea: Female Marriage Migrants and Gendered Modes of National Belongi
    Hoyoung “Jodie” Moon Reed College Marrying into South Korea: Female Marriage Migrants and Gendered Modes of National Belonging In recent South Korean public discourses on the growth of diversity within the country, the female marriage migrant emerges as a key figure. Remarkably, one out of ten marriages in South Korea today are transnational; in three quarters of these marriages, the foreign spouse is a woman (MoGEF 2012:19).1 Introducing national, cultural, and often ethnic/racial others into the intimate spheres of Korean society, the increasing commonality of such conjugal unions has prompted citizens' reevaluation of longstanding nationalist fantasies of a homogeneous nation-state. Nevertheless, the influx of foreign women marrying into South Korea requires an account more complex than the narrative of globalization leading to a cosmopolitan nation. State-generated media representations of exemplary foreign wives tout them as contributors to a more “multicultural” Korea but invariably portray them as having “become Korean”; the state’s continued focus on the family as the basic unit for its “multicultural” policies discloses its interests in the reproduction of the patriarchal family. Providing a glimpse into the array of government media depictions of and policies addressing the growing population of marriage migrant women, I argue that the “multicultural family” rhetoric and policies of the South Korean state impose well-worn modes of female national belonging: they are premised upon the imperative of turning foreign women into Korean wives, daughters-in-law, and most importantly, mothers of Korean children. Hence, marriage migrant women come to occupy a complex position in a structure of stratified reproduction (Ginsburg and Rapp 1995:3) in South Korea.

  • Culture, Society and Sexuality
    Culture, Society and Sexuality There has been rapid development within the field of sexuality research in recent years – both conceptually and methodologically. Advance has sometimes occurred in relatively unsys- tematic ways, however, and academic research often seems distant from the immediate concerns of day-to-day life. This second edition of Culture, Society and Sexuality consolidates the literature on the construction of sexual life and sexual rights – often published in relatively obscure places – and makes it accessible, not only to students, but also to those working on the front lines of activism. Topics discussed include: • the historical construction of sexual meanings – desires and practices across different periods of history • the ways in which social theory and research have approached the investigation of things sexual – ‘cultural influence’ versus ‘social constructionism’ • the ‘gender hierarchy’ and the ‘sex hierarchy’ as central to the construction of a politics not only of gender oppression but also of sexual oppression • the dominance of heterosexuality, and the frequent exclusion or neglect of lesbians within the women’s movement • social, cultural and economic globalization – the ways in which gay identities and communities have helped to shape the contemporary world • violence, sexuality, and gender and public health – sexual pleasure, the control of fertility, and risk for sexually transmitted diseases. This volume builds on the importance of insights into the social, cultural, political and economic dimensions of sexuality and relationships, and emerging discourses around sexual and reproductive rights. It provides essential reading for researchers, activists, health workers and service providers, who daily confront practical and policy issues related to sexuality, sexual health and sexual rights.
