Medium- and genre-specific biases such as the visuality of telenovelas are powerful limiting agents of representation. However, technological determinism must be expanded to read culture itself as deterministic to properly account for particular biases in the medium’s use in different national contexts. The key issue is a struggle for a “monopoly of knowledge” over discourses that deem homosexuality as “acceptable,” and one that views it as “unacceptable” and strange. This article examines three recent gay and lesbian progressive storylines in TV Globo telenovelas that fell short in one important aspect: the characters were not allowed to kiss. This article addresses the inherent bias of the Brazilian television medium—more specifically, TV Globo’s telenovela genre—as it relates to representations of homosexuality and homosexual love. Medium- and genre-specific biases—for example, the “visuality” (itself an example of the codes) of telenovelas—are powerful limiting agents of representational possibility.

  • Think Globally, Act Locally Environmental History As Global History in the First Global Age
    Asian Review of World Histories 3:1 (January 2015), 59-80 © 2015 The Asian Association of World Historians doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.12773/arwh.2015.3.1.059 Think Globally, Act Locally Environmental History as Global History in the First Global Age Amélia POLÓNIA Universidade do Porto Porto, Portugal [email protected] Abstract The paper is oriented towards a reflection on the epistemological extension of world history. This discipline is currently opening up for new subjects and new foci of interest, with environmental his- tory being one of them. The paper debates the interaction between the global and the local as one of the main issues of world history. It analyses the impacts of the interconnectivity of diverse regions as well as different geographical and cultural complexes, during the period between 1500 and 1800. Assuming that the sea in its economic, cultural and envi- ronmental dimensions contributed actively to world history, and is, in itself, a major factor of globalization, the paper intends to highlight interdependencies which fostered connections between the local and the global. It further submits to discussion which was the impact of an on-going globalization process, based on maritime dynamics, on the environment. Through an analysis centered on the impact of European overseas expansion, some en- vironmental impacts will be analyzed. The paper aims at questioning environmental history as an emergent theme of world history, based on the historical experi- 60 | ASIAN REVIEW OF WORLD HISTORIES 3:1 (JANUARY 2015) ence of connecting worlds developed in the First Global Age (1500- 1800).

  • Conquest Re-Enacted: Thoughts About Race and Police Violence in Brazil
    Conquest re-enacted: Thoughts about race and police violence in Brazil Rita had warned her son; he told me so. He and I stood on opposite sides of the barbed- wire fence that separated Rita’s banana tree and backyard cistern from the hardpacked dirt of the village plaza. It was 2012 in Brazil, and Jonatas, the son, was seventeen years old. He recalled his mother’s words for me. Be careful in the city, Rita had admonished. Because you are Black, you will have trouble from the criminals and from the police who think you’re a criminal. A few days after that conversation, Jonatas moved to the metropolis. Rita’s view seemed to be uncommon in the village. When I recounted her fears to two middle-aged women a few feet down the road, they chuckled dismissively. Jonatas was well- known to be one the most honest, law-abiding, helpful young men in the countryside for miles around. Racism? “Rita’s the one who put that stuff in his head,” one of them explained. But Rita was right. Soon afterward I traveled to the city myself and found Jonatas on a busy corner. He wore plastic sunglasses and smiled broadly. He had hidden most of himself behind a giant pushcart of fresh-green umbú fruit, which he and his father were selling to passerby, but he was not too busy to stop for a long and hopeful conversation. He liked the city, he said, and he wanted to stay. He would send money back to his mother in the village.

  • The 2014 Elections and the Brazilian Party System*
    The 2014 Elections and the Brazilian Party System* Carlos Ranulfo Melo Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil The Brazilian party system presents a paradox. Although the Workers Party (PT) and the Brazilian Social Democratic Party (PSDB) have controlled presidential elections for the last 20 years, their force at the other levels of electoral competition has not grown. The objective of this study is to undertake a discussion of this situation through the 2014 general elections. After attempting to explain why successive challengers have not been able to change the structure of competition for the Brazilian presidency, I will analyze the relation established between the pattern observed at this level and the other “connected” electoral disputes—both those for state executive and federal legislative office. The general conclusion is that even if the pattern continues, it is quite improbable that this will significantly impact the other levels of national political party competition. Keywords: Presidential elections; competition structure; Brazilian party system. magine a country with little political party tradition, where parties are I relatively recent and organizationally fragile; where the majority of the electorate is more accustomed to valuing individual candidates than the available party labels and do not identify with any of them. Now add to this the fact that for the sixth consecutive time, the same two parties dominated the presidential election and one of them won the last four disputes. There is something strange about these two things. It would not be so strange if the parties, in this case the Workers Party (PT) and the Brazilian Social Democratic Party (PSDB), were also the two largest national parties; however, they (*) http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1981-38212014000200004 The author would like to express his thanks for the comments and suggestions of anonymous colleagues of the Brazilian Political Science Review.

LXV, núm. 233 Págs. 79-116, ISSN: 0034-8341 «A COMMONWEALTH WITHIN ITSELF». THE EARLY BRAZILIAN SUGAR INDUSTRY, 1550-1670 POR STUART B. SCHWARTZ Yale University Este ensayo examina los contornos básicos de la economía del azúcar en Brasil entre 1550 y 1660, cuando se convirtió en la principal productora de dicho artículo en el mundo atlántico. Comienza analizando el amplio espectro que situó al país en el contexto del sistema comercial euro-americano, para estudiar luego las condiciones locales y los desafíos específicos de la tierra, el trabajo y el capital a los que hizo frente la industria cañera brasileña temprana y que le confi- rieron un carácter y unos contornos peculiares. Finalmente investiga la rápida expansión del sec- tor hasta 1620 y las razones por las que su crecimiento se estancó, incluso antes del ascenso de nuevos competidores en el Caribe después de 1650. PALABRAS CLAVES: Brasil, Portugal, Holanda, siglos XVI-XVII, azúcar, mercado, factores de producción. The first contacts with Brazil did not generate much interest in Portugal so long as that distant shore was seen only as a place to obtain dyewood or tropical curiosities. By the 1530s, however, the introduction of sugar cane and the begin- nings of a sugar industry had begun to transform Brazil, especially its northeas- tern coast, into a colony of settlement. The sugar estates, by their nature and by their socially and «racially» segmented populations, eventually determined much of the structure of the colony and of its society.

  • The Culturalist Conservatism of Gilberto Freyre: Society, Decline and Social Change in Sobrados E Mucambos (1936)
    http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/2238-38752017v739 i Institute of Social and Political Studies of the State University of Rio de Janeiro (IESP-UERJ) and Fundação Casa de Rui Barbosa, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil [email protected] ii National University of Buenos Aires (UBA), Buenos Aires, Argentina [email protected] Christian Edward Cyril Lynch I Pía Paganelli II the culturalist conservatism of Gilberto freyre: society, decline and social chanGe in SobradoS e MucaMboS (1936) IntroductIon Gilberto Freyre is traditionally identified, along with other important commen- tators of the 1930s, with one of the major turning points in Brazilian thought, moving towards a greater commitment to historical and sociological objectivity and to the critique of Brazil’s social formation. His work has also been recognised as belonging to a lineage of authors who, after the rise of the Republic, devoted themselves to the historical review of the social and political formation of the colony and the Empire. Thus Ângela de Castro Gomes (2000) suggests that, with- out denying the major theoretical and methodological innovation introduced by Freyre in his interpretation of Brazil’s colonial legacy in Casa-grande & senzala 903, december, 2017 december, 903, – (translated into English as The masters and the slaves), his work displays simi- larities with the collective endeavour of diverse historians active during the first decades of the Republican experiment – concentrated especially at the IHGB (Instituto Histórico e Geográfico Brasileiro) – to rethink the nature of historiograph- ic work and the use of historical methods and sources that went beyond an at- tempted Republican mythological reconstruction of the Brazilian past.

  • A Cause for Reflection: Imagining Brazil at 100 Years of Independence
    A Cause for Reflection: Imagining Brazil at 100 Years of Independence By Joseph M. Pendergraph Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in History August, 2015 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Marshall C. Eakin, Ph.D. Sarah E. Igo, Ph.D. “O Gigante: Vossos irmãoes na pátria nova passam tranquillos com riqueza largos annos… outro sistema de gouverno abraçam, que julgam mais propício para os humanos, porque nesse regimen, ali novo, dizem que manda simplesmente o povo.”1 “For my part I will say that, if my body leaves [Brazil], my heart stays, and that, if one day it should split, on it will be seen the words Brazil and Portugal, so intensely linked, so intimately intertwined, that it shall not be possible to separate one from the other.”2 1 Augusto de Lacerda, As duas patrias: poêma em homenagem a Portugal e Brasil por occasião do centenário da abertura dos portos brasileiros ao commércio do mundo (Porto: Oficinas do Commercio do Porto, 1908), 116 – The passage reads roughly, “The Giant: Your brothers in the new Pátria calmly live long years with richness / embracing another form of government that they believe to be more propitious for mankind / because in this new regime it is said that the people simply govern.” The timing of this quotation is key for understanding the critique. The work was published in 1908 just two years before the overthrow of the Portuguese monarchy. The decadence of the throne in the nineteenth century had led to intellectual criticism in the 1870s and republican revolts and conspiracies in the last years of the century.

O “Movimen- to Romântico” seria um contraponto, mas foi mantido distante. A economia abraçou a cen- tralidade da racionalidade e preceitos iluministas, tornando-se uma “física-social”. Desde então, as características humanas como sentimento, imaginação e criatividade são evitadas. Embora Bronk não identifique um economista “romântico” de carne e osso, nossa pesquisa busca estabelecer Celso Furtado como um. Profundamente influenciado por sua sensibili- dade e raízes, Furtado fez uso de uma metáfora orgânica – o sertão nordestino – em seu entendimento de complexos processos de desenvolvimento. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Brasil; Celso Furtado; Richard Bronk; movimento romântico; sertão. ABSTRACT: In The Romantic Economist (2009), Richard Bronk laments that Enlighten- ment thinking dominated Economics during its formation as a science. As counterpoint, the ‘Romantic Movement’ had much to offer but remained peripheral. Consequently Economics embraced the centrality of rationality and other Enlightenment precepts, leading to a ‘social- physics’. Meanwhile human characteristics such; as sentiments, imagination and creativ- ity were eschewed. While Bronk fails to identify an in-the-flesh ‘Romantic Economist’, our inquiry seeks to establish that indeed Celso Furtado qualifies. Profoundly influenced by his sensitivities and attachment to place, Furtado relies upon an organic metaphor – o sertão nordestino – for insights into complex developmental processes. KEYWORDS: Brazil; Celso Furtado; Richard Bronk; romantic movement; sertão.
