title: Artifacts and Social Practices Around Meals (São Paulo, 18th and 19th Centuries)

description: Abstract In 1923, a set of two chairs, a settee and a sofa table were donated to Museu Paulista, as a clause of D. Francisca Miquelina de Paula de Souza Queiroz’s family will. These pieces of furniture originally belonged to his grandfather, Brigadier Luis Antonio de Souza Queiroz, one of the wealthiest men in the first half of the 19th century in São Paulo, deceased in 1819. Their physical attributes are testimonies of the social and economic transformations and stimulate to reflect on the meaning of possession of objects, the personal relationships mediated by them and the shaping role of social practices played by artifacts. Based on the study of these pieces of furniture and goods described in inhabitants’ wills of São Paulo, the article analyzes the material dimension of social life, in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, focusing on the social practices around meals in the domestic environment in a context marked by the gradual internalization of sociability.

title: Fire is the Agent of so Many Wonders America and the Underground Explosions in the História Universal dos Terremotos, 1758

description: Abstract This papers comments on the work named História Universal dos Terremotos, [The Universal History of Earthquakes], the first seismic catalogue written by Joachim José Moreira de Mendonça, in the aftermath of the Great Lisbon Earthquake (GLE) of 1755. The paper considers Moreira de Mendonça arguments as evidence in favor of the coexistence of several modern theories and change of understanding in relations to earthquakes. Beginning with the cataloging of seismicity in the planetary scale and their effects listed by the author, the article underlines the seismic activities registered in the American continent, taking into consideration that seismicity distributed in time and space was the drive for Moreira de Mendonça's seismologic study. It deals also with his explanation for earthquakes causes, supported by the ideas of underground fire forces, accepting that Moreira de Mendonça in his catalog considers earthquakes as natural disasters in the scientific culture context of his time.

title: Between Fenix and Ceres: The Great Acceleration and the Agricultural Frontier in the Brazilian Cerrado

description: Abstract This article discusses the history of the advance of the agricultural frontier in the Brazilian Cerrado and its role in the intensification of human action related to the biogeochemical cycles of the Great Acceleration. More specifically, this work discusses how soil fertility research, the motivation for internal immigration from Southern Brazil to the Cerrado and the intensification of monoculture played a central role in the rupture with traditional processes of cultivation and occupation of the fields and savannas of Central Brazil. Finally, this article discusses how these elements worked as an instrument for the consolidation of development programs not only for Brazil's savannas, but also as a model for agricultural expansion in savanna areas in the American and African continents.

title: Early Signs of Sixteenth-Century Mexican Typography and Biblio-iconography

description: Abstract The study of the typography and iconography of printing in sixteenth century Mexico is a question that has yet to be exhausted. While different approaches have been proposed, there are still many elements to study. This paper proposes the application of the newest material analysis methodology to obtain detailed information about the items used for the printing press, based on the traces of ink left on the paper. A comprehensive record of the print types and woodcuts used can build material repertoires of each printing house. These repertories provide outstanding information about the printing materials used when they were in operation. In addition, the analysis of material uses also enables us to reconstruct the internal history of each printing house.

title: Before the Myth: Citizen Soldiers of the National Guard in Rio Grande do Sul (1850-1873)

description: Abstract This paper explores the troops of citizen-soldiers and officers that took part in the National Guard in the province of Rio Grande do Sul, during the pivotal years of administrative centralization (1850-1873). By doing so, it challenges the classic image of that province and its soldiers: they were not only peons, commanded by their landlord bosses. Drawing upon soldiers' and officers' qualification lists, this paper develops a more complex picture of the Brazilian society in its frontier, particularly focusing on poor, free and freed men who were also citizens. Being the National Guard the crucial gear of the hybrid military system of the country, one can conclude that throughout its networks of interdependence the war affairs were administered in the borderlands, shaping also the essence of the Imperial State.

title: No Longer a Frontier: Territory, Polulation, and Conflict in the Conquest and Colonization of Guarapiranga

description: Abstract In recent decades the specialized historiography has given special attention to the analysis of the occupation of areas belonging to the captaincy and province of Minas Gerais. Rural development and the expansion of the farming have been highlighted, both in conjunction with and to replace gold mining activities, which declined during the second half of the eighteenth century. This article aims to present a particular contribution to the debate about the territorialization of Minas through the analysis of an unpublished document about Guarapiranga: “Rol dos que confessaram e comungaram no ano de 1766” (List of those who confessed and took communion in 1766). Relating the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the data collected from this list to other population records from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the article presents a demographic, territorial and administrative picture of one of the most important parishes within the limits of Mariana - a frontier region which during the second half of the eighteenth century became the most populous and economically vibrant area in the east of Minas Gerais.

title: "There is No Captive Who Does Not Want to Be Free!": Meanings of Slavery and Freedom Among Senegalese Sailors, 19th Century

description: Abstract From an extensive inquiry into the abolition of slavery in Senegal by the French administration in 1844, this article seeks to understand the meaning that slavery and freedom had for river and sea fleet workers in the city of Saint-Louis, known as laptots (and precisely the main interviewees), in the first decades of the nineteenth century. I will try to hear their voices from the records made in 1844, but also from other documents of various natures and periods, including reports, civil and criminal cases, population censuses, and even reports of foreign travelers who were in Saint-Louis in the early decades of the nineteenth century, collected in archives and research institutions of Senegal and France.

title: Tragicomedy, Translation, Commerce and Circulation of Books in Portugal in the Late Eighteenth Century. The Translation of The faithful shepherd, by Giovanni Guarini

description: Abstract During the second half of the eighteenth century a large number of translations into Portuguese of all kinds of works published in other parts of Europe began to appear in Lusitanian book shops. This is the case of the translation of Giovanni Guarini’s The Faithful Shepherd, by Tomé Joaquim Gonzaga. Il pastor fido is a pastoral drama composed in the late 1580s and first published in Venice and Ferrara in 1590. By the end of the 18th century, this work went through more than 150 editions, appearing in various other languages, but the only Portuguese translation was that of Tomé Joaquim Gonzaga. The translation of the Faithful Shepherd was presented to the Real Mesa Censória in 1788, approved by the censors, and went to print the following year, only to be prohibited later that same year. The sentence of prohibition made mention of various Italian editions and of French and Spanish translations suggesting just how widely the Faithful Shepard must have circulated in Portugal. Clearly, the work was very widely popular throughout Europe, and there are no official references to the prohibitions before this 1789 edict. The image emerging in this case is contrary to the notion of Portugal’s isolation from northern European countries and reveals some of the tensions in play in the publishing business, tensions that went beyond issues of profit and the wider book trade.

title: Itinerant Images of Banned Potentates from West Africa

description: Abstract French colonial expansion in West Africa begins at the end of the 19th century. Images of the surrender and deportation of African potentates like Samory Touré (c.1830-1900) and Béhanzin (1845-1906) were reproduced in the French illustrated press. The visual representation of the enemies of colonial empires is part of a imaginary occupation in West Africa. Through the comparative method of analysis on the (re) production, diffusion and reception of images, the visual representation of these defeated African potentates is part of a logic of imaginary occupation of West Africa. The study also show how the same colonial iconography was used to build heroic figures of the African resistance. Based on images by Béhanzin and Samory Touré in the illustrated press and other material supports, the article discusses the new paths of this iconography in a post-colonial context.

title: The Table of Common Good of the Merchants and the Defense of Corporate Interests in Portugal (1756-1833)

description: Abstract This article revisits the Portuguese merchant guilds and the adaptation of these institutions to an increasingly difficult political environment. It focuses on the guild of retailers of Lisbon, which was reorganized in traditional corporate lines in the aftermath of the 1755 Earthquake, persisting until the final triumph of Liberalism (1834). During this time, these guilds fought back against the gradual spread of an economic thought that was deeply hostile to them. The article follows in the footsteps of an international scholarship that rejects the idea of a persistent decline of guilds and corporations, their inherent conservatism, as well as their negative impact on economic development. The activities of the Mesa do Bem Comum dos Mercadores de Retalho, a corporate structure where the shopkeepers gathered to solve their many problems, show the extent to which this community managed to remain entrenched and protected from outside interferences, precisely as their statutes prescribed.

title: The War Auxiliaries of the “Armed Nation” (1942-1945)

description: Abstract This article analyses the creation of militarized auxiliary war groups, composed by women, who worked in the cities of Santos, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in the period of 1942-1945. Using news papers, photographs and oral sources I discuss the place of war auxiliaries within the politics of the Armed Nation. Excluded from the official History of the Brazilian Army, and devoid of military status, about 3000 women gaigned military knowledge and performed such activities in that period. The evocation of a certain “military female” would only be repeated in Brazil in the late 1980s. In the midst of the political use of the war by the varguismo, these women were simultaneously invoked as caregivers and as a significant part of the nation’s brave rearguard. Women, in general, as political propaganda, were a centerpiece in weaving the nation beyond the private and the domestic spheres. The war auxiliaries, in particular, were patriotically militarized and characterized as fearless women, who were responsible for the city and its population.
