It investigates how such events articulated discourses of progress, science, and modernity, and how these representations dialogued with the sociopolitical context of the period. The sources for analysis include: the book and album Brasil Pitoresco (1859-1861), by Charles Ribeyrolles and Victor Frond; the book O Brasil (1889), by Emile Lavousser; the books O Império do Brasil na Exposição Universal de 1867 em Paris (1867), O Império do Brazil na Exposição Universal de 1873 em Vienna d'Áustria (1873), and O Império do Brazil na Exposição Universal de 1876 em Philadelphia (1876), the latter without specific authorship. To theoretically ground our analysis of national identity, we engage with Stuart Hall, Eric Hobsbawm, and Benedict Anderson, and draw on Roger Chartier and Pierre Bourdieu to conceptualize representation. Therefore, we analyze how the Exhibitions functioned as mechanisms of political legitimacy, exposing tensions between the civilizing project and the Empire limits.

Throughout her life, Albertina underwent four hospitalizations at the Instituto de Psiquiatria Adauto Botelho in Rio de Janeiro. However, more than being merely an object of psychiatry, Albertina became the narrator of her own experience by publishing, in 2003, the autobiography A História de Beta and, in 2012, Meu convívio com a esquizofrenia. This study adopts this narrative as its primary source, intertwining it with the history of madness and psychiatry in Brazil between the 1961s and 1984s, while problematizing the medicalization of gender and institutional practices. Based on an approach that considers patients' testimonies as legitimate historical documents, the dissertation analyzes how Albertina, through her writing, interrupts the tradition of silencing patient discourses and asserts authority over her own experience. Divided into three chapters, the work begins by analyzing Albertina's psychiatric institutionalization, discussing the schizophrenia diagnosis attributed to her; it then explores her engagement with occupational therapy and the workshops of the Museum of Images of the Unconscious, under the coordination of psychiatrist Nise da Silveira; finally, it examines her writing as an act of resistance and subjective reconstruction. Drawing from the historiography of madness and psychiatry, gender studies, and reflections on autobiographical testimonies, this study seeks to understand how Albertina despite being marked by a highly stigmatizing diagnosis reacted, re-signified, and rewrote her own story, challenging the boundaries between madness, authorship, and humanity.

Given the proposed theme, this research takes as its starting point an understanding of the image that has been created of women in the IASD and how the expansion of their areas of activity, influenced by exogenous movements, has impacted and led to a rethinking of this theme within the Church. Thus, the objective is to understand the process of constructing the female imaginary within Adventism and the impact of the labor market and women's occupation of new spaces within this religion, concerning the reality of the metropolitan region of Curitiba, Paraná, from the 1960s to 2020. Added to this is the idea of identifying, in the context of the emergence of Adventism, female participation and analyzing, from a historical point of view, the external and internal influences for the expansion of the role of women in this religious movement, as well as understanding the empirical realities of these subjects in the local and temporal context. The thesis that guides this research is based on the premise that Adventist women played an essential role in the formation and development of Adventism, with a historically strong female movement within this religion, advocating for new spaces and identity agendas, breaking the bubble of a structure shaped by conservatism and patriarchy in their work, family, church, and other aspects. In terms of methodology, we resorted to: i) bibliographic research, through authors who discuss the topic (articles, books, dissertations, and theses); ii) documentary research, considering writings from the IASD, Ellen White, considered an Adventist prophetess, and mainly from the Adventist Magazine; iii) field research, through semi-structured interviews with Adventist men and women from Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. Theoretically, the study is based on the thinking of Max Weber, who analyzed the religious implications of men's economic behavior, drawing on concepts such as ideal type, patriarchy, disenchantment with the world, pure types of legitimate domination, elective affinities, and others. The results show that women's participation in Adventism has been and continues to be very significant. In the realm of religiosity, women have navigated with great skill and pragmatism and achieved several victories, despite the male predominance at the helm of Adventism and Protestantism in general. From its early days, Adventism has been imbued with pragmatism and systematic rationalization of the way of life, which has contributed to mitigating the assumptions of the classic division of roles, anchored in the patriarchal model inherited from Judeo-Christian culture, in the face of feminism and the new ambitions of Adventist women. This was the scenario that contributed to the construction of the female imaginary in relation to the labor market and the delimitation of women's spaces in Adventism.

Inspirada en la metáfora de los “cascabeles” de la serpiente —que anuncian su presencia mientras ocultan el veneno que sostiene su fuerza—, la investigación analiza las formas visibles e invisibles de las relaciones de poder que estructuraron el proceso de ocupación territorial, la producción de legalidades, la construcción de narrativas oficiales y la persistencia de los conflictos por la tierra. El objetivo central fue comprender cómo la propiedad de la tierra, las instancias y poderes del Estado, y la memoria social y pública se articularon para naturalizar desigualdades, legitimar apropiaciones privadas y excluir a sujetos históricamente silenciados. La metodología combinó análisis documental, reconstrucción de cadenas dominiales, revisión de procesos judiciales y registros notariales, estudio de genealogías familiares e investigación en fuentes de memorialistas. El estudio demuestra que la formación de la estructura agraria local estuvo marcada por la explotación extractivista de las obrajes, la presencia de jagunços y la apropiación irregular y muchas veces ilegal de tierras públicas. Las cadenas dominiales revelaron superposiciones de títulos, fraudes, legalizaciones tardías y la connivencia estatal en la consolidación de grandes propiedades. La tesis discutió el papel del Estado en la reproducción de la dominación agraria. La tesis sostiene que el Estado, los registros notariales, las alcaldías, los órganos agrarios y las decisiones judiciales no fueron neutrales, sino agentes estructurantes de la concentración de tierras, articulando normas, políticas y procedimientos que favorecieron a las élites locales. La legislación reciente de regularización agraria aparece como continuidad de este proceso histórico. El análisis de las narrativas memorialistas muestra la construcción de una memoria pública celebratoria, centrada en el pionerismo, el orden y el progreso, que silencia conflictos, expulsiones y violencias, produciendo una historia oficial que legitima el dominio agrario e invisibiliza a los sujetos populares. En contraste, la tesis destaca las resistencias campesinas, especialmente la actuación del Movimiento de los Trabajadores Rurales Sin Tierra (MST) y la formación del Assentamento Resistência Camponesa, evidenciando que la cuestión agraria sigue siendo un problema vigente en Cascavel. La urbanización y el mercado inmobiliario, todavía controlados por antiguas familias propietarias refuerzan la centralidad de la tierra como fuente de poder. La tesis concluye que la estructura agraria y urbana de Cascavel es el resultado de un proceso histórico de larga duración, marcado por la articulación entre violencia, legalidad, memoria y conflicto. La investigación contribuye a comprender el territorio como un espacio de disputa permanente entre clases y proyectos de sociedad antagónicos.
