By the second half of the nineteenth century their cultural and economic adaptation to the region had become very visible: the slaves acquired knowledge of Amazonian agriculture, learned the opportunities for collecting forest and river products, and forged bonds of kin and culture. When slavery was abolished in 1888, the freedmen took advantage of the gradual impoverishment of plantation areas to appropriate plots of land that had belonged to their former masters, creating numerous peasant communities. This implied not only re-configuring residential, work, and leisure spaces, but also crafting new narratives of owning and belonging to the land. Outside of plantations, groups of escaped slaves proliferated along the Amazon‘s tributary rivers. Like their enslaved counterparts, by the second half of the nineteenth century the runaways gradually abandoned the hard life of marronage. They maintained relations with itinerant merchants, missionaries, and political patrons to gain stability and establish themselves as autonomous rural producers. In the early 1900s local elites sought to buy the lands where the maroon-descendants lived in order to subject them to coerced labor. Some black peasants accommodated to the new situation but others resisted it by employing varied individual, iv collective, and confrontational strategies, which included participating in multi-racial protests against land privatization. Local modes of production and trade in Amazonia impinged upon the history of Afro- descendants in complex and contradictory ways. While under slavery the regional economy facilitated the conversion of slaves into peasants and the viability of marronage, in the early- to mid-twentieth century local elites perfected new ways of curbing peasant autonomy. In turn, black peasants tried to maintain themselves as autonomous producers, asserting their right not only to reside on the land and to cultivate it, but also to gather its resources freely. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS .....................................................................................................

I argue that what unites these writers is not solely the context of neocolonialism and underdevelopment in the 1950s and 60s in Brazil and Argentina but the properly vanguard problem and gesture of mediating the present and politics, as I trace in their theoretical writings, letters and literary texts their shared concern with making literature relevant, functional and dynamic in a public sphere

  • 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.

  • Jorge Amado and the Internationalization of Brazilian Literature
    http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-7968.2013v1n31p119 JORGE AMADO AND THE INTERNATIONALIZATION OF BRAZILIAN LITERATURE Elizabeth Lowe University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign [email protected] Abstract: Jorge Amado (1912-2001) is the most translated Brazi- lian writer and the literary figure that has shaped the reception of Brazilian literature in the world. He is credited with opening the international literary market to the post-dictatorship generation of Brazilian writers. Yet Amado is also a controversial figure. The debate around him is sparked by what some believe is sexual and ethnic stereotyping in his post-1958 works and the reinforcement of “paternalistic “racial views. His reception therefore is mixed. For his English-language readers, he is a fascinating source of exotic and titillating narratives about the vast, unknown country of Brazil, and for Brazilians he is either a “great ambassador of Brazilian culture around the world” or a faux populist who dis- guises sexist and racist attitudes behind charming prose. This talk will address Amado’s literary career, his unique contributions to Brazilian letters, the challenges of translating his work, and his influence on the production of a new Brazilian literature for export Keywords: reception, controversy, translation. Jorge Amado is among the writers who have contributed most to the emergence of a post-modern Inter-American literature. He is at the same time a transitional and a controversial figure. Still the most widely translated Brazilian novelist—his works have appea- red in over forty languages and in fifty-five countries—he was the 120 Elizabeth Lowe, Jorge Amado and the internationalization of..

  • French Reaction to the Menace from Cabanos and Bonis Within the Litigious Territory Between Brazil and French Guiana (1836-1841)1
    125 French reaction to the menace from Cabanos and Bonis within the litigious territory between Brazil and French Guiana (1836-1841)1 Reação francesa às ameaças de Cabanos e Bonis no território litigioso do Amapá (1836-1841) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/2236-463320161408 Débora Bendocchi Alves Instituto de História Ibérica e Latinoamericana (IHILA) Faculdade de História da Universidade de Colônia, Colônia, Alemanha [email protected] Abstract: This article will analyze an historical episode that occurred between 1836 and 1841 during the French occupation of the disputed territory located between Brazil and French Guiana. I intend to consider two regional factors that influenced the decision of both the Cayenne Government and the metropolitan government to build military forts in the region. Such factors are the Cabanagem and the attempts of black Bonis to settle in Lower Oiapoque. I will go on to show that the French withdrawal from Amapá Lake in 1840, but not from the post on the right bank of the Oiapoque River, was due not only to international and diplomatic factors but also had regional causes. Notwithstanding the French government's interests in expanding the territory of its South American colony, I want to draw attention to the threats - real or fictitious - of Cabanos, from Brazil, and black Bonis, from Dutch Guiana. 1 This article forms part of a research project funded by Gerda Henkel Foundation (Germany) about the region of the French-Brazilian Boarding between 1840-1900. It is a revised and extended version of my participation at the ANPUH 2015 XXVIII National History Symposium, held in Florianópolis.

  • Brazilian Fantasy, History, and Culture Fall 2015
    HISTORY 387: Brazilian Fantasy, History, and Culture Fall 2015 Professor Ben Cowan Course Time and Location: Email: [email protected] Tuesday, 4:30-7:10PM Office: Robinson B-377D Planetary Hall 212 Office Hours: Th 3-5 and by appt COURSE DESCRIPTION Samba! Sex! Soccer! What do these stereotypes about Brazil reflect? Where do they come from? The Portuguese phrase país do samba e do futebol—“the country of samba and soccer”—expresses a sometimes ironic self-consciousness about these hallmarks of identity and perception of what Brazil is, both in Brazil and beyond. So, then, what is Brazil—or Brazilianness? In this class we will think about the ways in which people and cultures in Brazil have developed, been represented, been fantasized about, and why these things are so. We’ll explore where samba comes from and how it came to be Brazil’s “national” dance; why Brazil has so often been identified with sensuality and sexuality, especially sensual femininity; and what does make soccer important in Brazil. We’ll think about how and why ideas about Brazilianness range from deep, medieval Catholicism to oversexed libertinism; from “savage” and “underdeveloped” to urbane and techy; and from “Latin” to African to indigenous. At the heart of our stories will be questions about sexuality, gender, race, nation-building, and identity—we will use sources ranging from novels to sociological studies to films to analyze the ways these tropes have shaped the idea of Brazil, within and without.

  • In Search of the Amazon: Brazil, the United States, and the Nature of A
    IN SEARCH OF THE AMAZON AMERICAN ENCOUNTERS/GLOBAL INTERACTIONS A series edited by Gilbert M. Joseph and Emily S. Rosenberg This series aims to stimulate critical perspectives and fresh interpretive frameworks for scholarship on the history of the imposing global pres- ence of the United States. Its primary concerns include the deployment and contestation of power, the construction and deconstruction of cul- tural and political borders, the fluid meanings of intercultural encoun- ters, and the complex interplay between the global and the local. American Encounters seeks to strengthen dialogue and collaboration between histo- rians of U.S. international relations and area studies specialists. The series encourages scholarship based on multiarchival historical research. At the same time, it supports a recognition of the represen- tational character of all stories about the past and promotes critical in- quiry into issues of subjectivity and narrative. In the process, American Encounters strives to understand the context in which meanings related to nations, cultures, and political economy are continually produced, chal- lenged, and reshaped.

  • The Amazon and the Building of the Brazilian Empire Jose Antonio Sanchez-Roman (Universidad Complutense De Madrid-Columbia University)
    A Boundless Space: the Amazon and the Building of the Brazilian Empire Jose Antonio Sanchez-Roman (Universidad Complutense de Madrid-Columbia University) (This is a work in progress. Please, do not quote, do not circulate. Thank you very much for your comments on it) I' 1 A Boundless Space: the Amazon and the Building of the Brazilian Empire Jose Antonio Sanchez-Roman (Universidad Complutense de Madrid-Columbia University) Untamed space Anyone walking around Praya Floriano in downtown Rio de Janeiro in June 2008 would see a big protest poster saying: "A Amaz6nia e do povo brasileiro". Also, a visitor -like me- to the Institute of Latin American Studies at Columbia University would easily notice a picture of car (probably in the city of Santarem, Para) with a banner saying "Fora Greenpeace. Amaz6nia e dos Brasileiros". Recently, the sale of public lands in the Amazon region has aroused public controversy. Many saw in this sale an ecological threat and even a challenge to the national sovereignty since some of the would-be buyers were foreigners. The proposal of extending upward the surface limit to the sales of public lands, from 500 to 1,500 hectares worried environmentalist activists who cared about the advance of deforestation, and it caused the split of the governmental coalition around this issue between the former Minister of Environment Marina Silva and the present holder of the office, Carlos Minc!. This is not the first time that the Amazon region is at the root of a controversy regarding environmental or national sovereignty issues. En 1996, the Conselho Superior de Orientayao Politica y Social of the FIESP (the main association of industrialists in Sao Paulo) published an essay by Lieutenant Colonel of the Army, Senator and former Minister Jarbas Gonyalves Passarinho with the title A lntemacionalizarylio da Amazonia.

  • El Poeta Reportero: La Literatura De Cordel En El Siglo Xxi
    El poeta reportero: la literatura de cordel en el siglo xxi. Relaciones de noticias en el nordeste de Brasil1 Javier Díaz Noci Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona) [email protected] José Afonso da Silva Jr. Universidade Federal de Pernambuco [email protected] Resumen La literatura de cordel, y en concreto aquella que se dedica a repicar acontecimientos de actualidad noticiosa, es un género literario vivo como en ningún otro lugar del mundo en Brasil, y más concretamente en los estados del Nordeste, aquellos donde la economía es más pobre y la pervivencia de formas antiguas y populares es más longeva, no sólo en el campo o sertão sino también en las ciudades, en los mercados y ferias de grandes urbes como Recife o Salvador de Bahía. Este estudio sólo pretende ser una introducción a dicho fenómeno, sobre todo en sus últimos años, y propone algunos ejemplos relacio- nados con la actualidad que nos ayuden a comprender mejor las fórmulas y funciones de estos modestos impresos en su día destinados a ser compuestos y cantados por autores de pocos estudios y que ha ido alcanzando, tras una crisis en los años 60 y 70 del siglo xx, un nuevo estatus, con autores conocidos, con estudios superiores, y artistas que se valen de la xilografía para vehicular a través de los folletos de cordel sus obras inspiradas en la imaginería popular. 1. Es obligado agradecer las deudas contraídas en la realización de la comunicación que dio lugar a este artículo. Los agradecimientos son dos: el primero, y muy especial, a la profesora Carmen Espejo, que tan amablemente como siempre accedió a representarme en el VII Coloquio Internacional de la Sociedad internacional para el Estudio de las Relaciones de Sucesos (SIERS), celebrado en la Uni- versitat de Girona en septiembre de 2013, en una comunicación que ha dado lugar a este texto.

We are proud of what we have achieved since our formal beginnings in 1985, and in particular of the way that people in the department – students, staff and researchers – have sought to engage critically and creatively with the traditions of anthropology. Our research interests are broad and include visual art, labour and human rights activism, indigenous politics, gentrification, security and terrorism, fashion, gender, health and the body. The department combines a strong ethnographic expertise in Africa, South Asia, Latin America, Europe, the Pacific and Caribbean, with a broader focus on regional inter-connections, inter-dependencies and developments. We hope that Goldsmiths Academic Research Papers will provide a platform to communicate some of the work that makes the Goldsmiths department distinctive. It includes articles by members of academic staff, research fellows, PhD and other students.
