Using as research sources two biographies by Cornelius Nepos, especially the Life of Atticus (a Roman intellectual of the 1st century BCE) and the Life of Epaminondas (a Theban general of the 4th century BCE), we will explore, among other questions, the extent to which the biographer employed his literary work as a means of political intervention in a context marked by social instability and the imminent rise of autocratic power in Rome. Among the structural transformations underway during this period, we observe a certain decline in behavioral norms anchored in the mos maiorum, which helps us understand the moralizing nature of Nepos's biographies and his reiteration of ethical values rooted in the Republican tradition. As a methodological framework, we draw on the works of Antoine Compagnon, Pedro Paulo Funari, Antonio Cândido, and others. Theoretically, we rely on contributions from scholars such as François Dosse, Pierre Bourdieu and Reinhart Koselleck. Additionally, we will engage with concepts such as allelopoiesis, exempla, portrait, and repertoire.

The expression “mirrors of power” is employed as an analytical metaphor to suggest that museums, by selecting, organizing, and displaying collections and narratives, do not merely preserve history, but also project authorized representations of it, thereby legitimizing interpretations and forms of collective identification. The study is grounded in the assumption that memory, culture, and identity are socially produced and historically situated constructions, shaped by classificatory practices and symbolic boundaries rather than by fixed or essential attributes. In dialogue with Pierre Nora and Michael Pollak, the research investigates the ways in which regimes of visibility and silencing are constituted, enabling certain repertoires to circulate as public memory while relegating others to the margins. It also draws on Alberti’s perspective that museums should be understood not as neutral repositories, but as spaces in which historical and cultural narratives are actively produced and publicly mediated. Methodologically, the dissertation combines documentary criticism with institutional discourse analysis, drawing on municipal legislation, administrative acts, official correspondence, circulars, and documents related to the Municipal History Commission, as well as records concerning the formation of the collections and the museum’s public administration. It also draws on an oral source produced through an interview with Venilda Saatkamp, who was directly involved in the organization of the collection and in the museum’s institutional trajectory. The findings indicate that the municipal institutionalization of memory contributed to the consolidation of a dominant local memory, often structured through grammars of colonization, progress, and belonging, which shaped the collection, preservation, and exhibition of the past within the museum. The study further examines the museum’s materiality—its collections, exhibition categories, captions, and mediation practices—in order to understand how specific narratives and cultural identifications were stabilized, while other experiences and social actors remained in less visible positions, thus revealing silences and identity disputes in the making of public memory.

It is based on the assumption that this literary production constitutes a significant space for representing Japanese immigration to Brazil from a female perspective, historically marginalized in official narratives. Initially, the study discusses the historical novel as an analytical category, highlighting its relationship with historical writing and its ability to articulate memory and fiction. It then examines Nikkei women’s literature, emphasizing its emergence in the context of the 80th anniversary of Japanese immigration to Brazil and its role in the construction of memorial and identity discourses.The analysis focuses on the characters Mizue, Hanako, and Naoko, understood as representatives of different generations of Japanese Brazilian women. Through these figures, the research investigates processes of identity construction, generational conflicts, and tensions between tradition and cultural adaptation. While Mizue and Hanako express values associated with the first generation of immigrants, such as gambarê and gaman, Naoko reflects the reconfiguration of these references in the third generation.Thus, Nakamura’s novel contributes to understanding Japanese immigration as a process marked by continuities and ruptures, highlighting hybrid forms of belonging within the Japanese Brazilian experience.

The research addresses the insertion, organization, and provision of health services in the municipality before the creation of the SUS and in the initial years of its constitutionalization, seeking not only to revisit this historical path but also to identify the impasses and challenges faced, as well as to understand the perspectives of the different actors involved – managers, workers, service providers, and users. The analysis also considered social participation in health policy through the Municipal Health Council. To understand the object within the empirical reality, interviews were conducted, guiding data collection and raising new questions, allowing the study to be developed based on oral narratives. The accounts obtained reveal themselves as important records of social memory, expressing recollections about public health before, during, and after the implementation of the SUS (Unified Health System) in the municipality.
