AMAZONIAN ARCHAELOGY AND DIGITAL HERITAGE:

André Luiz de Vasconcelos Fidelis Junior — 2025-11-19

This research aims to analyze and catalog ceramic collections from Central Amazonia, with an emphasis on the Guarita Phase, housed in the Archaeology Laboratory of the Federal University of Amazonas, linked to the Museu Amazônico, articulating archaeology, Indigenous history, and digital heritage. By doing so, the study seeks to democratize access to archaeological knowledge, bringing researchers, students, and the general public closer together, since inserting ceramic artifacts and their contexts into a digital image database promotes both the preservation and dissemination of Indigenous peoples’ culture. For this purpose, a computerized cataloging system was developed, integrating existing collections and new findings into the digital archive available on the Museu Amazônico website¹. The work also reflects on how historiography has stigmatized the figure of the Indigenous in Brazil, thereby advocating for a more critical and inclusive approach. In this sense, digital heritage emerges as a tool for valuing Indigenous memory and strengthening cultural identity in the Amazon.

A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE HISTORY OF CHILDHOOD IN THE HISTORIOGRAPHY OF THE COLONIAL AMAZON

Shayrula Alice Ferreira Dalloo — 2025-12-04

The history of childhood and children as objects of historical research are recent themes in Western historiography and arise in the wake of the historiographical renewals that permeated the 20th century. In Brazil, interest in this theme is even more recent and, with regard to the history of childhood in colonial Amazonia, it is a path of study that is still being followed. This article presents a bibliographical overview of the productions that deal with the history of childhood, within the scope of the historiography on the Amazon region that addresses the colonial period, as well as seeking to identify in these productions theoretical and methodological matrices used by the authors, comparing them with thematic and methodological innovations introduced by the New Colonial History, produced in Brazil.

Fábio Augusto de Carvalho Pedrosa — 2025-06-25

The History course at the Federal University of Amazonas (UFAM) was created through Resolution No. 003/80 of August 14, 1980, and was authorized to operate from the first semester of 1981.

A Atuação Missionária Católica em Moçambique e os Movimentos Anticoloniais (1950-1960)

Adrian Nunes de Oliveira — 2025-07-05

Cet article est le fruit et le résultat d'une recherche de Initiation Scientifique (IC), où l'on a cherché à contribuer, d'une certaine manière, à combler les lacunes concernant les Études Africaines au Brésil, surtout en Amazonie, pour une meilleure compréhension des différents contextes au sein du continent africain. Cette recherche avait pour objet d'étude les articulations qui ont précédé l'indépendance du Mozambique, notamment le rôle des missions catholiques dans ce contexte. Au cours de la moitié du XXe siècle, on observe une augmentation de ces missions catholiques au Mozambique, parallèlement à cela, on constate la traversée de mouvements nationalistes, anticoloniaux et émancipateurs à travers l'Afrique. De cette manière, l'article a pour objectif de comprendre comment ces missions ont agi dans les mouvements qui ont précédé l'indépendance, en analysant leur rôle dans la formation d'une force anticoloniale.

THE STATUS OF MAGIC IN THE CANTERBURY TALES (14TH CENTURY)

Joao Alves — 2025-02-15

The book The Canterbury Tales, written by Geoffrey Chaucer (c. 1340-1400), an English poet and also an active traveler, tells the story of a group of people on a pilgrimage to the tomb of Saint Thomas Becket. During this pilgrimage, each character tells stories. Produced at the end of the 14th century, the work is an important historical source from which we can draw various questions about the men and women of the Middle Ages, due to the diversity of characters presented and the positions they held (monks, knights, merchants, nuns, among others). In the stories told to pass the time, a variety of knowledge from the medieval period emerges, such as theology, medical science, commerce and - the main one for this work - magic. This article seeks to elucidate, from the representations contained in some stories in Chaucer's work, what position magical practices (such as alchemy and astrology) occupied in the imagination, as well as in the daily lives of the medieval people.

The Parish Factory and the Bishop:

César Leandro Santos Gomes — 2025-02-15

Abstract: The following text analyzes the representations of "ultramontane politics" and its relationship with ecclesiastical heritage during the episcopate of Dom Antônio Castilho Brandão in Alagoas (1901-1910). The study focuses on the period following the Proclamation of the Republic, seeking to understand how Dom Antônio, aligned with the Catholic project of the time, managed the Church's assets, regulated religious practices, and disciplined the clergy. Recognized by his biographers as the founder of the diocesan seminary, Dom Antônio showed great concern for the management of the Church's patrimonial goods, as evidenced in his correspondence with the parish priests. Utilizing Cultural History (CHARTIER, 1989) and critical discourse analysis (FAIRCLOUGH, 2001), the study aims to unveil the elements and adaptations of the restructuring project of Catholicism in Alagoas during the early decades of the Republic.

Keywords: Ultramontanism. Ecclesiastical Heritage. History of Alagoas.

"Influenzaphobia": fear and death in the context of the Spanish flu in Sergipe

Matheus Honorato da Silva Santos — 2025-09-20

This article aims to investigate the relationship between the health crisis resulting from the Spanish flu epidemic in Sergipe and the individual and/or collective manifestation of the feeling of fear in local society. The time frame for the analysis corresponds to the four-month period that runs from September to December 1918, an interval that covers both the phase that preceded the spread of influenza in the state and the epidemic outbreak in Sergipe. Periodicals published at the time in the capital Aracaju constitute the apparatus of sources used in the research, which is based on theoretical-methodological discussions regarding fear and death in historiography, as well as on approaches related to the evolution of this epidemic in Brazil, in general, and in Sergipe, in particular. The hypothesis is raised that, through the press, the Spanish flu became capable of frightening the population of Sergipe, due to the content of journalistic texts and the presence of an inherent subjectivity in the editors' discourse.

História e Literatura: uma análise do livro “ NARRATIVA DE UMA CIDADE ENCANTADA OU ALEGORIA DE UMA HISTÓRIA TRÁGICA: DIÁLOGOS ENTRE HISTÓRIA & LITERATURA EM ÓRFÃOS DO ELDORADO, DE MILTON HATOUM”, do historiador Arcângelo da Silva Ferreira

Daniel Rodrigues de Lima — 2025-04-16

Ferreira, por meio dessa análise, demonstra que Hatoum, ao desmistificar o Eldorado e explorar suas tragédias e esquecimentos, não apenas cria uma narrativa que desafia as versões idealizadas da história amazônica, mas também humaniza os indivíduos que sobreviveram às adversidades desse passado. Na resenha de Narrativa de uma cidade encantada ou alegoria de uma história trágica, Arcângelo da Silva Ferreira revela o potencial de Órfãos do Eldorado como uma obra que cruza fronteiras entre a história e a literatura para fornecer um entendimento mais amplo da Amazônia. Ferreira pontua como Hatoum oferece uma representação complexa e crítica que contribui para a desconstrução de mitos históricos, além de ressaltar as histórias silenciadas de sujeitos marginalizados. A obra de Hatoum, segundo Ferreira, não apenas se insere no imaginário literário da Amazônia, mas também propõe uma reflexão sobre a necessidade de revisitar criticamente o passado para compreender as contínuas transformações e desafios da região no presente. Assim, Ferreira consegue, de forma convincente, demonstrar que a literatura pode atuar como uma poderosa ferramenta de resistência e memória, especialmente em contextos onde a história oficial ainda privilegia os vencedores em detrimento dos vencidos. A resenha evidencia que Narrativa de uma cidade encantada ou alegoria de uma história trágica é uma leitura essencial para aqueles que buscam um olhar mais crítico e sensível sobre a Amazônia, convidando os leitores a enxergar além dos estereótipos e a refletir sobre a complexa relação entre história, memória e identidade.
