An Argentine-born artist who settled in Bahia, Carybé developed a multifaceted body of work as a painter, sculptor, draftsman, illustrator, and muralist, playing a central role in the Bahian and Brazilian art scene during the second half of the twentieth century. This research proposes a critical reflection on the representations of Bahia in his pictorial production, with a particular focus on the 1950s, when the artist definitively established himself in Salvador. The study seeks to understand how his work contributed to the symbolic construction of Bahian identity, taking into account the historical and cultural contexts as well as the networks of sociability in which he was involved — alongside figures such as Jorge Amado, Pierre Verger, and Dorival Caymmi. By analyzing the sociocultural impacts of his artistic production — which remain evident to this day — the research aims to highlight how his experience and representation of Bahia helped shape enduring cultural imaginaries, including the crystallization of certain stereotypes Tipo: Dissertação 2026-03-17T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.pucsp.br/jspui/handle/handle/46909 Título: O processo de construção das representações de Chica da Silva na cultura moderna brasileira e sua reinterpretação na teledramaturgia: Xica da Silva na Rede Manchete (1996-1997) Abstract: The objective of this research is to analyze the representation of the historical figure Chica da Silva, born enslaved in 18th-century Minas Gerais and freed as an adult, in the telenovela Xica da Silva, originally aired by Rede Manchete from September 1996 to August 1997. The research problem focuses on investigating how the television drama constructed its version of Chica; thus, we will trace the stereotypes reproduced by the plot as well as the innovations it introduced. Before becoming the protagonist of a telenovela, Chica da Silva’s image was already widely known and culturally explored. By the 1990s, Chica had already been the subject of poems, novels, and films. To understand why Rede Manchete chose to dedicate its prime time to telling the story of this freedwoman, we will analyze her portrayal from her first appearances in history books to her arrival on television. Delving into the telenovela, we will examine the character's nuances and Rede Manchete's primary contributions to the image of Chica da Silva Tipo: Dissertação 2026-03-24T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.pucsp.br/jspui/handle/handle/46852 Título: Cartografias de ativismos em redes: feminismos periféricos e populares na imprensa digital (Brasil e Argentina/ 2013 -2018) Abstract: This thesis analyzes how the relationships between gender, politics, and communication have become a central axis in the political and sociocultural transformations that occurred in Brazil and Argentina between 2013 and 2018. Situated in the context of the intense reconfigurations of activist dynamics that marked the beginning of the 21st century, a dual movement characterizing the period is observed: the reorganization of feminisms and the emergence of digital communication closely linked to these processes. It examines how the connections and distances between these processes in these Southern Cone countries highlight both their national specificities and transnational dynamics of social mobilization and narrative disputes. In this context, on one hand, it seeks to understand how the so-called Feminist Spring — or Fourth Wave — dialogued, strained, and guided new arrangements of activism throughout the progressive cycle of the Pink Tide, as well as repositioned itself in the face of the subsequent conservative shift in the region. On the other hand, it investigates the emergence of the so-called digital feminist press, an analytical category formulated to reflect on a set of communication initiatives that have been established as spaces for critical storytelling, symbolic dispute, and the creation of new repertoires of collective action both within and outside the digital environment. The research undertakes a mapping of network concepts and collaborative practices that structure the production of meanings and the formulation of political strategies in digital media and on the streets. To this end, it analyzes the discourses produced by the portals Nós, Mulheres da Periferia, LatFem, Marcha, and the magazine Amazonas, understood as counter-hegemonic communication experiences in which plural forms of elaborating these new feminisms were articulated in light of identity frameworks, culture, and historical references that continuously dialogued with the present and the past, as well as with local and regional dynamics in the Latin American context. By examining their editorial practices, languages, and narrative repertoires, the investigation explores how these digital initiatives established new forms of mediation in the public sphere, focusing especially on the agendas of a young generation of activists – among them Black, Indigenous, and LGBTQI+ women – who, within the scope of this research, shape the so-called popular and peripheral feminisms to discuss the mediations and intersections between social mobility, gender, and race in these countries. It is supported, as a basic hypothesis, that this digital feminist press exerted significant influence on the political and symbolic field of contemporary feminisms that escape dichotomous interpretations, establishing itself as a locus of meaning production and collective imagination in the face of the radical transformations and inflections that marked the decade Tipo: Tese 2026-03-17T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.pucsp.br/jspui/handle/handle/46838 Título: Oliveira Vianna e o projeto do Estado nacionalista, corporativo e autoritário Abstract: This dissertation examines the State project proposed by Oliveira Vianna during the Vargas administration. Objective: To analyze the key issues that synthesize: (1) Vianna’s belief in the construction of nationalism as a means of unifying and modernizam the country; (2) the understanding of Vianna's intellectual overlap with the bureaucratic structuring of the authoritarian State; and (3) the relevance of corporatism in Vianna's intellectual trajectory and its subsequent role in the construction of this state model. Justification: This research is relevant as it places Oliveira Vianna as a central figure in the national-state building project that became hegemonic after 1930, with Getúlio Vargas’s rise to power. Theoretical-Methodological Aspects: The methodology consists of the study of Oliveira Vianna’s primary works through the lens of Intellectual History and its specific analytical frameworks. Furthermore, it considers the technical roles held by Vianna during the Estado Novo. Throughout this process, we demonstrate how the three pillars—nationalism, authoritarianism, and corporatism—unify within Vianna’s project. Results: It was observed that while the ideologue influenced the theoretical framework that resulted in the Constitution of 1937, his most effective form of intervention occurred through strictly technical functions. Vianna contributed to both the theory and practice of an authoritarian political culture in Brazil and to the establishment of a Labor Justice system rooted in corporatist values Tipo: Dissertação 2026-03-10T00:00:00Z
