title: Cannons from Ipanema: technology, industry, logistics, and politics in 1840

description: ABSTRACT Unpublished documents from 1840 describe the fabrication of three cannons - a technical fact to be remembered due to its uniqueness, the technical challenges and the detailed descriptions provided by major João Bloem, the director of the Fábrica de Ferro de Ipanema, and the difficulties after the 1842 Liberal Revolt. The expansion of the sugar industry in São Paulo is concurrent with the investments in cast iron machines and components used to grind sugarcane for hundreds of sugar mills from Sorocaba to the South of Minas Gerais, made during Feijó Regency. The iron cannons were the only ones made in Brazil; they were cast, milled, and submitted to firing tests with gunpowder charges three times higher than the regularly used. Although iron foundries spread to many Brazilian cities, they all used imported cast iron, for until the end of the 19th century Ipanema was the only place where the raw material, cast iron, was produced from iron ore. The casting of cannons demonstrates the presence of sophisticated metallurgical and technical competence, related to the investments of the Regency period and the intention to regain the original objective of producing military supplies in that plant. This experience and the developed competences led the director to propose a subsidiary in Juquiá, near the port of Iguape, which was not accepted by the Navy ministry. In presenting the history of these cannons, this paper discusses some of the situations that hindered the dream of bringing the first industrial revolution to Brazil.

title: “Continua a febre dos monumentos”: The statuomanie in the Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) press (1880s-1930s).

description: ABSTRACT This article discusses how the carioca press and intellectuals understood and analyzed the expansion of public sculpture in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, between the 1880s and the 1930s. It aims to investigate how these actors appropriated the idea of “statuomanie”, interpreting the carioca urban reality in the light of what was happening in France. This article argues that it was not a mere “importation” of a foreign idea to the local environment, but rather a process of intense reworking and adaptation of the concept according to the context of political and ideological conflicts at the time .These analyses were conducted with data collected by means of documentary sources such as articles published in newspapers and illustrated magazines in Rio de Janeiro, as well as in the French press.

title: A modern architecture collection: Image and narrativity in Henry-Russell Hitchcock’s catalog on Latin America (1955)

description: ABSTRACT Are buildings collectible? Some people collected projects, like the Tremaine couple, for whom Niemeyer and Johnson designed houses that they never built; some exhibitions incorporated architectural prototypes, such as the house installed by Breuer in MoMA’s garden in 1949. But in most cases, works of architecture enter museums (and historiography) by their representations. These representations - photographs, drawings - usually compose catalogs that, in a way, enjoy a life independent from their exhibitions of origin, whose longevity they surpass. Latin American Architecture Since 1945, the catalog of the homonymous exhibition organized by Henry-Russell Hitchcock for MoMA in 1955, is now widely recognized as a central piece in the historiographical construction of Latin American modern architecture, like Brazil Builds by Philip Goodwin (1943). Architectural catalogs are bibliographic products where pictures have a predominant role over texts. They fall into the category of the picture collection, or the photographic album. But despite the priority of image over word, the catalog is also a narrative. The purpose of this text is to examine the intrinsic narrative condition of the catalog as a photographic album and as an architecture collection, in its correlations with the historiographic methods and with the formation of the modern architecture concept, by using Latin American Architecture Since 1945.

title: Architectural collections as historical spaces of education

description: ABSTRACT In recent years, historiographical works on architectural and planning sources or archives, as well as institutional or private initiatives aimed at preservation issues, have helped to consolidate a collective agenda around the historical value of these collections in Brazil. Debates revolve around their role within cultural, academic, and professional institutions, and their relevance to education, memory, and practice in architecture and urbanism. This article aims to speculate about the roles, agencies, powers, and limits of architectural collections in contemporary teaching and research practices. To this end, it first presents an outlook of architectural collections in Brazil and their relations with different academic institutions. Then, the text will comment on recent pedagogical uses of architectural and planning collections, highlighting some teaching experiences in both the national and international context. Finally, it discusses the importance of specialized collections to research in the field of architecture and urban planning, as well as their contemporary meanings, possibilities, and dilemmas. This study is expected to contribute to the definition of strategies on the constitution, preservation, and use of architectural and planning collections within academic institutions in Brazil.

title: The Independence Site in Ipiranga: the vicissitudes of a historic place

description: ABSTRACT This work consists of a historical reconstruction essay of the site through which D. Pedro I passed on September 7, 1822. Besides investigating the path he treaded, this essay also approaches the highlighted points on the Ipiranga site, considering the various reforms they have gone through over time. A critical review of the numerous attempts to demarcate the place where Brazil’s independence took place evinced a series of mistakes over time and considerable confusion in the explanations. In an attempt to develop a linear narrative and clarify obscure or confounding points, this study relies on historical iconography: paintings, photos, and maps - which were superimposed on current maps to determine the points of interest with the aid of digital mapping programs. Throughout the text, a series of considerations are made about the purpose and the meaning of determining this location, with a greater or lesser precision.

title: Images of progress: cinema, history painting and the historiography in the visual narrative of the film Metrópole de Anchieta (1952), by B. J. Duarte

description: ABSTRACT This article analyzes the film Metrópole de Anchieta (1952), from the director and critic B. J. Duarte, produced in the context of the preparations for the celebration of the 4th Centenary of the City of São Paulo. The film tells the story of the city, based on the historical narrative produced in São Paulo in the first half of the 20th century and on the visual discourse of the Museu Paulista, curated by Sérgio Buarque de Holanda at that time, who was also the historical consultant of the production. This article seeks to understand how the film dialogues with traditional historiography, history painting and the museographic discourse of the Museu Paulista itself. The film takes part in the historical culture (as conceptualised by Rüsen) built from multiple layers of representations, with which the visual culture collaborated to praise the “progress” in line with the Paulista regionalism.

title: Monumentalizing “premature ruins”: the Belo Horizonte Historical Museum and Juscelino Kubitschek’s museum imagination

description: ABSTRACT This article analyzes how the Belo Horizonte Historical Museum is a first manifestations of Juscelino Kubitschek’s museum imagination (1902-1976) and the singularities of this project in the context of the Brazilian museological context. Although there are several studies on the trajectory of the former president of Brazil, his thinking about museums and heritage still needs to be analyzed in depth. In this way, through documental analysis and bibliographic review, analyzes decisive moments of the museum’s conception, inaugurated in 1943, the strategies and some articulations of the then mayor of the capital of Minas Gerais, in order to consolidate his museological thought, were reconstructed, like the relationship with journalist Abílio Barreto, organizer of the History Section of the Municipal Archive of Belo Horizonte, and with lawyer Rodrigo Melo Franco de Andrade, director of the National Historical and Artistic Heritage Service. It concludes that the creation of the Belo Horizonte Historical Museum translates the configuration of a singular museal imagination. In this respect, despite not breaking with the speeches of most Brazilian museums of his time, he opted for the insertion of recent history, recognizing the museum as one of the spaces in the dispute for projects of the future.

title: Science museums and their visitors in the beginning of the 21st century: longitudinal study of the spontaneous visitation to five institutions in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, Brasil

description: ABSTRACT Science museums and their visitors is a longitudinal study carried out by the Observatory of Museums and Science and Technology Centers (OMCC&T) aiming to monitor the spontaneous visitation profile and public opinion in five science museums, located in the municipality of Rio of January. The quadrennial survey is carried out with unscheduled visitors, over 15 years old, by using a self-applied questionnaire, with 28 objective questions about the visitor’s profile, background and circumstances of the visit, opinion, and their cultural habits. The data related to the 8,706 respondents from the four stages of the survey, carried out in 2005, 2009, 2013 and 2017, were treated statistically and showed patterns and changes in the profile and the public’s view of the visit to these institutions. Note the referral from other visitors and social media as an important means of disseminating information about museums. The study pointed to the satisfaction of visitors in all museums, combined with the desire of returning for a new visit in the following 12 months. Also stand out: the increasing female presence throughout the stages, the increase in self-declaration of black ethnicity, the successive drop in declared household income, and the increase in unemployed visitors. However, the portion of the population that most frequents museums is the one with higher education and income, indicating that social exclusion remains a problem that must be permanently studied and debated, for the democratization of culture.
