INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed. University Micrdrilms International 300 N.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As a Brazilian from the one of the "less-developed" countries, I have always been skeptical about the political intentions of assistance to my country from developed societies, and in particular from the United States. Born in 1944, I am from the generation that was taught to view the United States as a model of the most technologically advanced society — democratic, honest, generous, and free, "good guys" in the Hollywood movies that I saw and in the novels, biograDhies, and history books that I read. Brazilians, such as Sam Carioca in the Disney cartoons, were not. My generation was raised with an inferiority complex in relation to "American ideals:" we were corrupted (by nature), untrustworthy, lazy ("ai que preguica," says Macunaima*), too emotional, subjective, family-bound, selfish and impatient with unfamiliar conditions. Macunaima is the protagonist of Mario de Andrade's book (Macunaima, in Paulo Eugenio Cupolo, 1928). Mario de Andrade was one of the main writers of the Modernist movement in Brazilian literature and arts in the 1920's. In Macunaima he critically evaluates Brazilian society, its racial mixture, its history and its problems of national identity. "Ai que preguica" roughly translated means: "Oh, what laziness," in reference to Brazilians' indifferent attitudes toward work and productivity. My favorite joke about Brazil concerns God's reply to a question as to why He created Brazil with an ideal climate, free of volcanoes and seasonal storms—indeed, a paradise. God said, "Don't worry about it — just wait and see what kind of people I'm going to put there." Most Brazilians, ashamed of their cultural heritage, turned their attention to and learned to admire the European and then the American "ideals." The notion that "equality," "property" and "liberty" in the United States are equally shared by all were especially idealized parts of American culture. My eldest brother, who encouraged me and provided support for me to study in the United States, (in 1966) gave me the following advice: "You are going to a country where a President states: 'Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.'" This was a year after the Brazilian military had ousted the populist, democratic, nationalist, anti- American, and anti-imperialistic government of Goulart. After this coup d'etat, my closest friends were jailed for participation in subversive activities. Others disappeared. I was hesitant to go to a country that had been involved in combating leftist ideas and activities in Brazil. My brother, a U.S. admirer, firmly believed that coming to the United States was a chance no one could afford to miss. Kennedy's words sounded like universal truth to me and made me ashamed once more of being a Brazilian — an underachiever. I never stopped, however, being skeptical of the United States. Kennedy's "Alliance for Progress" fit nicely with Brazilian and Latin American desires to overcome the causes of underdevelopment through rapid industrialization. Brazilian President Kubistcheck, elected to replace Vargas, wanted to make 50 years of progress in five years — so the slogan went. American businessmen established multinational companies in Brazil. Diplomats and scholars went to Brazil to "help the people help themselves." The self- help approach was a powerful tool to defuse collective grass-roots movements that instilled class-consciousness. It was congruent with American ideals: independence, self-reliance, achievement, individualism, freedom from tradition, and equal opportunity to all in spite of race, sex or creed. It was a powerful package for Brazil, a country with an inferiority complex about self- determination. My skepticism had an opportunity for expression in a seminar about Brazilian society at the University of Florida. The class was taught by Professor T. Lynn Smith, a sociologist widely known for his professional dedication and his studies of Brazil even before I was born. Professor Smith was explaining about Brazilians' inability to produce reliable statistics or quantifiable data and about the generally poor conditions for scientific research. Naively, I asked why North Americans had become so interested in studying Brazil and other Latin American countries after the Second World War if the statistics were bad? What, I asked, were the relationships between the United States' alliance with these countries and the interest of U.S. scholars in studying them?" Professor Smith was surprised at these questions. I was puzzled and afraid I had committed a heresy by asking such questions. My North American colleagues showed disapproval and made me feel that these questions were not suitable for the seminar. I was sure I had been petulant to my professor and unsure of the meaning and the importance of my questions. Although the idea for this study began in Professor Smith's seminar, it took shape while I was attending graduate school at The Ohio State University. On one side of the river, at the Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology, I was exposed to a critical assessment of rural sociology; while on the other side, to the challenges of understanding sociological theory — perhaps for the first time. Professor William L. Flinn, my adviser, is credited with introducing me to the general criticism of that subdiscipline, and Professor Roscoe Hinkle, to general sociology. The opportunity of working on a project about sociology in Brazil with Professor David O. Hansen helped me to "bridge" the two intellectual concerns and to organize my thoughts in this study. I wish to also acknowledge Professor Donald W. Thomas and Larry Brown to my committee. Without the intellectual guidance, unfaltering support and extraordinary personal stimulation of Bill Flinn — first through correspondence (while I was in Brazil) and then on a daily basis — this research would not have been completed. Few students, I am sure, have had the chance to experience such open, supportive and non-directive orientation from an adviser as I have, and I am forever grateful for that. My only hope is that I can share Bill's unique guidance and approach with others, as a professor in my country. I am also grateful to the CNPq and MEC (respectively, the National Council for Research and the Ministry of Education of Brasilia, Brazil) for financial support. The Department of Social Sciences at the Federal University of Espirito Santo in Vitoria, Brazil, where I am employed, has also been instrumental in helping me to conclude my studies, Roberto Belling’s comments and discussion of my very first draft (1981), helped to set the tone for the socio-historical analysis. Celso Perota’s criticisms, suggestions and particularly James Roy Dosxey's orientation and constant encouragement, have contributed to the successful accomplishment of this project. Many friends and relatives from Brazil gave me personal and emotional support.

    The Reassertion of Race, Space, and Punishment's Place in Urban

    Environment and Planning D: Society and Space 2013, volume 31, pages 372 – 380 doi:10.1068/d311r1 Review essay: The reassertion of race, space, and punishment’s place in urban sociology and critical criminology† In Great American City: Chicago and the Enduring Neighborhood Effect and The Collapse of American Criminal Justice Robert J Sampson and William Stuntz, respectively, highlight the intersection and reassertion—to draw upon and extend the work of Edward Soja (2011)—of race, space, and punishment’s place in urban sociology, critical criminology, and postmodern geography (Massey, 2012; Sampson, 2012; Ludwig et al, 2012; Sharkey, 2013). The structural circumstances of deprivation and criminalization facing African-Americans that they both highlight, and the related racialized perceptions of criminality that are counterparts, appear to be some of the salient features that recently led to the murder of a young black teenager, Trayvon Martin, in the US state of Florida. Florida is one of many US states with new Stand Your Ground laws which have proliferated across the country, along with a noticeable uptick in so-called ‘justified homicides’. In this instance the inequalities of race and space highlighted by these two authors tragically came together as a neighborhood watch patrolman shot and killed Trayvon and shaped the lack of an initial official response, until massive protests broke out across the US against the failure of authorities to charge the assailant with a crime (Sampson, 2012; Sampson and Raudenbush, 2004). This review essay presents these two landmark books, offering an appreciation and critique of their interrelated arguments and setting them in the context of a wider literature on the evolution of spatial, social class, and racial relations right up to our contemporary present.

  • Back to Black: Racial Reclassification and Political Identity Formation in Brazil

    Back to Black: Racial Reclassification and Political Identity Formation in Brazil

    BACK TO BLACK: RACIAL RECLASSIFICATION AND POLITICAL IDENTITY FORMATION IN BRAZIL A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by David Andrew De Micheli August 2019 © 2019 David Andrew De Micheli BACK TO BLACK: RACIAL RECLASSIFICATION AND POLITICAL IDENTITY FORMATION IN BRAZIL David Andrew De Micheli, Ph. D. Cornell University 2019 This dissertation leverages a phenomenon of racial reclassification in Brazil to shed new light on the processes of identity politicization. Conventional wisdom tells us that the history of race mixture, fluid racial boundaries, and stigmatized blackness lead Brazilians to capitalize on racial fluidity and change their racial identifications—to reclassify—toward whiteness. In more recent years, however, Brazilians have demonstrated a marked and newfound tendency to reclassify towards blackness. I argue that this sudden reversal is the unintended consequence of expanded access to secondary and university education in recent decades, which has led many to develop a racialized political consciousness, what I refer to as political identity. State-led efforts to better include lower-class sectors of the citizenry through educational expansion have increased formerly marginal and newly mobile citizens’ exposure to information, social networks, and the labor market, while also endowing them with greater internal efficacy. Greater exposure and efficacy, in turn, have led many to challenge commonsense racial hierarchies and the national myth of racial unity as they have come face-to-face with racialized inequalities in their quests for upward mobility. Reclassification toward blackness, then, is an articulation of these newfound and racialized political identities.

  • On the Material and Immaterial Architecture of Organised Positivism in Britain

    On the Material and Immaterial Architecture of Organised Positivism in Britain

    $UFKLWHFWXUDO Wilson, M 2015 On the Material and Immaterial Architecture of Organised Positivism in Britain. Architectural Histories, 3(1): 15, pp. 1–21, DOI: http:// +LVWRULHV dx.doi.org/10.5334/ah.cr RESEARCH ARTICLE On the Material and Immaterial Architecture of Organised Positivism in Britain Matthew Wilson* Positivism captured the Victorian imagination. Curiously, however, no work has focused on the architec- tural history and theory of Positivist halls in Britain. Scholars present these spaces of organised Positiv- ism as being the same in thought and action throughout their existence, from the 1850s to the 1940s. Yet the British Positivists’ inherently different views of the work of their leader, the French philosopher Auguste Comte (1798–1857), caused such friction between them that a great schism in the movement occurred in 1878. By the 1890s two separate British Positivist groups were using different space and syntax types for manifesting a common goal: social reorganisation. The raison d’être of these institu- tions was to realize Comte’s utopian programme, called the Occidental Republic. In the rise of the first organised Positivist group in Britain, Richard Congreve’s Chapel Street Hall championed the religious ritu- alism and cultural festivals of Comte’s utopia; the terminus for this theory and practice was a temple typology, as seen in the case of Sydney Style’s Liverpool Church of Humanity. Following the Chapel Street Hall schism of 1878, Newton Hall was in operation by 1881 and under the direction of Frederic Harrison. Harrison’s group coveted intellectual and humanitarian activities over rigid ritualism; this tradition culmi- nated in a synthetic, multi-function hall typology, as seen in the case of Patrick Geddes’ Outlook Tower.

    THE NETWORK CITY Paul Craven Barry Wellman Research Paper No. 59 Centre for Urban and Community Studies Department of Sociology

    THE NETWORK CITY Paul Craven Barry Wellman Research Paper No. 59 Centre for Urban and Community Studies and Department of Sociology University of Toronto July, 1973 To appear in a special issue on "The Community" of Sociological Inquiry. ABSTRACT The network approach to urban studies can be differentiated from other approaches by its insistence on the primacy of structures of interpersonal linkages, rather than the classification of social units according to their individual characteristics. Network analysis is an approach, leading to the formulation of particular kinds of questions, such as "who is linked to whom?" and "what is the structure and content of their relational network;" at the same time it is a methodology for their investigation. Following a discussion of network analytic methods, several of the key issues in urban studies are investigated from this perspective. Interpersonal ties in the city, migration, resource allocation, neighbor­ hood and connnunity are examined in terms of the network structures and processes that order and integrat~ urban activities. These structures and processes reveal U1emselves to be ever more complex and extensive at each level of the investigation. A view of the city itself as a network of networks is proposed. It is the organization of urban life by networks that makes the scale and diversity of the city a source of strength rather than chaos, while it is precisely that scale and diversity which maKes the complex and widely-ramified network structures possible. The flexibility inherent in network structures can accommodate a variety of situations, while variations in the content and intensity of network linkages allows for the co-ordination and integration of widely different people and activities.

    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.
