Doctoral Thesis Entre a espada flamejante e a cruz apocalíptica: redes de sociabilidades e política internacional nos Cruciferоs Clementinos (1968-2023)(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2025-12-15) Dantas, Pedro Luiz Câmara; Santos, Magno Francisco de Jesus; Moura, Carlos André Silva de; Orlando, Evelyn de Almeida; Pereira, Henrique Alonso de Albuquerque Rodrigues; Andrade Júnior, Lourival; Peixoto, Renato AmadoIn Spanish Ecclesiastical History, its most prominent schismatic group took shape in the second half of the twentieth century under the designation Crucíferos Clementinos (Clementine Crossbearers), weaving extensive networks of sociability and pursuing an international policy aimed at the creation of a Hispanic “Church-Nation.” This endeavor, of unequivocal ideological inspiration, simultaneously sought to revive principles of the Francoist past and to sacralize figures from Spain’s overseas history, thus participating in a symbolic process of national identity sacralization. As a whole, the Crossbearers movement emerged as a radical dissidence from Roman Catholicism, originating in 1975 in the Andalusian village of El Palmar de Troya as a Carmelite religious order. A few years later, in 1978, its founder, Clemente Domínguez Gómez – who was blind and selfproclaimed recipient of celestial revelations – claimed for himself the status of legitimate Catholic pope, adopting the name Gregory XVII. From this inaugural act, the Clementine group, under the name Palmarian Church, began disseminating its own documentary corpus intended to regulate its doctrine and liturgy, thereby consolidating an absolute rupture with the Catholic tradition of Rome. Through the establishment of sociability networks perpetuated in its narratives, one observes the construction of a sacred space grounded in traditionalist Catholic premises and articulated through apocalyptic and catastrophic language, yet marked by deep inflections and innovations that culminated in the formulation of a hybrid religious system. Among the elements that distinguished this construction, the institution of a condensed rite for the celebration of Mass and the canonization of historically controversial figures composed a complex project of sacred spatialization. In light of these factors, the consolidation of an alternative form of Catholicism became evident as the Order of the Crossbearers of the Last Times, emerged as a fully autonomous religion, entirely detached from the Catholic Church.Doctoral Thesis A oficialidade régia ultramarina: serviços, mercês e propriedades de ofícios nas Capitanias do Norte (1534-1758)(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2025-12-19) Lira, Abimael Esdras Carvalho de Moura; Vainfas, Ronaldo; Macedo, Helder Alexandre Medeiros de; Maia, Lígio Jose de Oliveira; Atallah, Cláudia Cristina Azeredo; Bicalho, Maria Fernanda BaptistaThis thesis proposes to analyze the functioning of the civil administration implemented and adapted by the Portuguese in the Northern Captaincies (Pernambuco, Itamaracá, Paraíba, Rio Grande, and Ceará) during the period between 1534 and 1758. Thus, the general objective of this research was to understand the mechanisms of granting, provision, and succession in the civil offices of the colonial administration, seeking to investigate how the services rendered, the royal favors granted, and the properties of these offices contributed to the consolidation of power and virtual royal presence, and the reinforcement of the production and reproduction of local elites in the overseas administration. It is noteworthy that this investigation was based on an extensive framework of sources, such as the Philippine and Manueline Ordinances, royal charters, administrative processes of the Overseas Council, archives of the captaincies, records of appointments, favors, and specific administrative acts relating to the municipal scribes, but also to other civil offices. Methodologically, this study employed critical document analysis combined with historiographical approaches that prioritize understanding power relations, patronage networks, and the legal norms of colonial administration. This research also relied on historical perspectives, comparative observations, and a micro-historical analysis of the personal and family trajectories of some social agents involved in the provision of offices. This characterized these offices as instruments of local power and powerful elements of social regulation. It also identified the discursive and political strategies employed by contemporary social agents to obtain royal grants of offices, as well as changes in the criteria for provision throughout the 16th to 18th centuries, associated with various political-military and administrative contexts and events that shaped contemporary social reality. This thesis demonstrates the importance of the role of family networks and patronage relationships in perpetuating office tenure and in the administrative transformations implemented by the crown in its pursuit of rationalization in the late first half of the 18th century. Ultimately, this research contributes to the understanding of the governance of the Portuguese Crown in a specific overseas area, highlighting the articulations between royal power, political culture, and administrative practices that structured and enabled the Old Regime in the Captaincies of Northern Portuguese America.Master Thesis Infoproletário: um update na identidade do professor historiador a partir da atuação profissional na plataforma Instagram (2020-2022)(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2025-10-24) Nunes, Viviane Cristine Pereira; Souza, Fabíula Sevilha de; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9854-2013; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0014755537333505; https://orcid.org/0009-0008-7107-2139; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2848974113695315; Santiago Júnior, Francisco das Chagas Fernandes; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2690-5222; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8893350729538284; Nicolazzi, Fernado Felizardo; Silveira, Pedro Telles da; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7576-5241; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9302624475760221The twenty-first century has posed new challenges to historians regarding their professional practices. In the age of Artificial Intelligence, historians face increasing pressure to adapt to technological transformations and reconfigure their practices, under the risk of becoming obsolete. Between 2020 and 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the migration of academic work to digital environments, especially platforms, catalyzing significant changes in the ways historical knowledge is communicated and shared. Within the platform space, historians were compelled to operate under the premises of platform capitalism, thus becoming part of the broader process of platformization. This research analyzes how historians trained at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) reinvent their professional practices on Instagram, facing the challenges imposed by platform capitalism and the precarization of labor in the post-digital world. Methodologically, it draws on Laurence Bardin’s Content Analysis (1977) and Bruno Leal Pastor de Carvalho’s concept of Attitude of Presence (2016), as well as the conceptual categories of platformization (Poell, Nieborg & Van Dijck, 2020), platform capitalism (Srnicek, 2016), and platform space (Srnicek, 2016).Master Thesis Uso, presença e sentidos: a cartografia visual de Marcelo D'Salete e a construção de um novo espaço de negritude(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2025-09-26) Sobrinho Neto, Antonio Zuza; Peixoto, Renato Amado; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2342-4215; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4329353374197075; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3851967955571283; Santos, Magno Francisco de Jesus; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2218-7772; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9046069221784194; Pessoa, Alberto Ricardo; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0231-3778; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6167799335143402This dissertation proposes a reflection on contemporary Brazilian comics as spaces of enunciation and affirmation of Blackness, based on the work of artist Marcelo D’Salete. Historically marked by erasure and racialized stereotypes, the language of comics in Brazil has been redefined by Black voices that, by occupying this field, transform it into a territory of memory, resistance, and reexistence. The central objective is to understand whether the current comics scene can be interpreted as a new space of Blackness – not merely as representational inclusion, but as a political, aesthetic, and epistemological gesture of symbolic occupation. To this end, a critical analysis is conducted of the graphic novel Angola Janga: A History of Palmares, articulating its visual, narrative, and discursive elements with the historical and identity-related issues it evokes. The research adopts an approach that integrates discourse analysis, semiotic reading, and representation critique, with an emphasis on the relationship between language, memory, and the construction of subjectivities. The dissertation also includes an interview with the author himself, providing insights into his creative process and the political meanings embedded in his work. It is concluded that Marcelo D’Salete’s production not only rewrites the history of Black resistance in Brazil, but also affirms comics as a space of Blackness – a site of voice, listening, and symbolic dispute over memory and ways of existing.Doctoral Thesis Um homem de carne no papel escrito: Lima Barreto e a escrita do corpo, Rio de Janeiro (1900-1922)(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2025-09-10) Costa, Thiago Venícius de Sousa; Albuquerque Júnior, Durval Muniz de; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4153-9240; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7585947992338412; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6016-7716; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3120096076562584; Azevedo Neto, Joachin de Melo; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9880-8988; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6732988770505229; Figueiredo, Carmem Lúcia Negreiros de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4315805106761582; Souza, Fabíula Sevilha de; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9854-2013; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0014755537333505; Sales Neto, Francisco Firmino; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9647-4638; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3836760295812952This thesis aims to analyze the debates raised about the production of corporealities by the Brazilian writer Afonso Henriques de Lima Barreto throughout his written and confessional production. This aspect allows usto visualize the organization of Rio de Janeiro city’s corporalspace during Brazil’s First Republic (1889-1930). The objective of this research is to show how the capacity for observation expressed in Barretos’s discourse, especially in his literary creation and in works directed at the Rio de Janeiro press, was mobilized by sensory experiences. Through sight, touch, smell, taste, and hearing, Lima Barreto achieved two important feats: being thrust into the world and creating awareness and memories about the uses of bodies. This circumstance made evident the importance of narrating, through penholder, the textures of the flesh of men and women of his time and, above all, exposing the forms of their physiological selves. Overall, there is a gap – or little development – in relation to a thorough critique of the emotions involved in Barreto’s production, which resulted in the silencing of his body, his rapture. This position poses the main problem of this research: to highlight the rebellions of the flesh in Barreto’s writing based on the sensory experiences that took shape in his critical and literary fortune. Thereby, by creating multiple ways of seeing and expressing the body, Barreto reveals how spaces were active agents in modulating corporealities.Doctoral Thesis Histórias e imagens da velhice no cinema brasileiro: da exclusão à luta por representatividade (1997-2020)(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2025-10-27) Caldas, Gustavo Henrique de Oliveira; Santiago Júnior, Francisco das Chagas Fernandes; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2690-5222; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8893350729538284; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7420-5787; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9801387876905498; Souza, Fabiula Sevilha de; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9854-2013; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0014755537333505; Santos, Magno Francisco de Jesus; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2218-7772; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9046069221784194; Gorzoni, Milton Luiz; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7627-3203; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3790012183503640; Lima, Nilsângela Cardoso; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9858-3838; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8291608655055206This work aims to understand the changes and arrangements of spaces and territorialities occupied by the elderly in Brazilian cinematographic works between 1997 and 2020, based on the following films: Central Station (1998), Copacabana (2001), Madame Satã (2002), The Three Marias (2002), House of Sand (2005), The year my parents went on vacation (2006), Santiago (2007), Chega de Saudade (2008), My friend Claudia (2009), Stories that only exist when remembered (2012), Sweet Mother (2012), Aquarius (2016), Divine Divas (2016), Greta (2019), Bacurau (2019) among others. Our basic questions are: what are the transformations of the elderly and their spacialities in contemporary Brazilian cinema between 1997 and 2020 and how such changes are situated in relation to the national cinematographic tradition? How do such displacements dialogue with the recent demands that reinvented the elderly as a subject in Brazil at the turn of the 20th century to the 21st? In order to achieve this aim, it was necessary to carry out a history of old age within the cinematographic context based on the tradition of Brazilian cinema that goes back to the 1960s. This historically constructed figure has been traversed by all the social hierarchies, from which cinema has appropriated itself. In this sense, our research highlights the usual and unusual identity roles played by the elderly (elderly women, elderly belonging to disadvantaged classes, privileged elderly and belonging to wealthy classes, LGBTQIAP+ elderly, black elderly), observing a dialectic between exclusion and representativeness in the 21st century. To this end, the research starts from the documentary survey with the use of several sources: the films, the set of non-filmic material such as specialized journal, interviews or texts that had an impact on the press, integrating perspectives from history, geriatrics, and film studies. Within this perspective and within a framework of analysis of the film's structures, qualitative and filmic analyzes are carried out. The film analysis also involves the iconographic interpretation to evaluate the social transformations of the spaces and roles attributed to the elderly, using the general acquisition of images in the cinema as sources by the historian.Doctoral Thesis Historiografia instrumental: um estudo das práticas de pesquisa e produção de conhecimento do Núcleo de Documentação e Informação Histórica Regional - NDIHR/UFPB (1976-1980)(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2025-09-26) Silva, Danilo Alves da; Oliveira, Margarida Maria Dias de; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8542-4173; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5565266295414497; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4143-1574; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7210065297752159; Santiago Júnior, Francisco das Chagas Fernandes; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2690-5222; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8893350729538284; Santos, Magno Francisco de Jesus; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2218-7772; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9046069221784194; Oliveira, Itamar Freitas de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5606084251637102; Rovai, Marta Gouveia de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2017104349633265This work investigated the practices of production and dissemination of historical knowledge developed by the Regional Historical Documentation and Information Center (NDIHR) during its implementation, between 1976 and 1980, at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB). The methodology adopted involved the internal and external analysis of historical sources, such as administrative documents, work reports, and interviews produced by NDIHR. Data collection was carried out by reading the sources in two formats: printed, in the physical archive, with annotations made by the researcher during selection and digitization, and digital, using the software, Atlas.Ti, which assisted in organizing the digitized sources. The study concluded that there are "other forms" of production and dissemination of historical knowledge in the university academic space, beyond the repressive and modernizing character that marked the period of the Brazilian military dictatorship. Instrumental historiography was used as a tool in academic research, integrating various areas of knowledge in a research center coordinated by the historical method. This approach shaped interdisciplinary production, research, and university teaching of history at the time, transcending the boundaries of the History undergraduate course and allowing us to understand that there were other possibilities of structuring academic research at the university at that time.Master Thesis Administração e institucionalização da justiça no Rio Grande do Norte Imperial (1835-1889)(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2025-10-17) Silva, Yasmim Azevedo da; Alveal, Carmen Margarida Oliveira; Slemian, Andréa; Camarinhas, Nuno Miguel de Morais Pestana Tarouca; Dias, Thiago AlvesThis study aims to analyze the formation of the judicial apparatus in the province of Rio Grande do Norte and its institutionalization during the imperial period. To this end, the discussion focuses on examining the construction of the county network in the province between 1835 and 1889. The primary sources for this investigation include the speeches and reports of the provincial presidents, as well as the provincial legislation enacted during the specified period. Based on the data and information contained in these documents, the study aims to examine the pace and development of the judicial network in Rio Grande do Norte, as well as the key variables that have influenced this process. These sources — produced by agents of the imperial state bureaucracy, namely the provincial presidents and deputies — were selected for their representation of an official state narrative. They offer insights into how spaces of justice were conceived and structured within the broader administrative framework of the Empire. By examining these historical documents, this research aims to understand how an institutionalized discourse of order contributed to the establishment and consolidation of the judicial territorial structure in imperial Rio Grande do Norte.Master Thesis "Entre tábuas e zinco": o diário de Carolina Maria de Jesus como espaço de experiência em Quarto de Despejo (1955-1960)(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2025-09-30) Silva, Elaine Alves da; Santos, Magno Francisco de Jesus; Peixoto, Renato Amado; Monteiro, Lívia NascimentoBased on the work Quarto de Despejo: diário de uma favelada (1960), by Carolina Maria de Jesus, and on complementary sources such as issues of Cruzeiro, Manchete, and other 1950s periodicals, this dissertation analyzes the construction of the diary as a space of experience and its circulation within the literary and media fields. The temporal scope covers the period from 1955 to 1960, encompassing the first diary entries through to its publication, while the spatial focus is on the Canindé favela in São Paulo. Carolina’s writing offers a singular representation of the marginalized environment, marked by sensoriality, memory, and everyday life. Her public image, however, was mediated by figures and institutions such as journalist Audálio Dantas and O Cruzeiro magazine, whose coverage contributed to legitimizing and simultaneously framing the author’s voice within the editorial conventions of the time. The central goal of this research is to investigate how Carolina Maria de Jesus’s diaries construct a space of existence that reveals social relations and sensory perceptions of the environment, as well as the mediated dimensions in the preproduction, editing, and publication of Quarto de Despejo. The study is grounded in the methodology of the Sociology of Literature, as proposed by Pierre Bourdieu, articulating text, context, and social trajectory. The theoretical framework also draws on the concept of escrevivência, Conceição Evaristo, the reflections of Roger Chartier and Stuart Hall on representation, Yi-Fu Tuan’s insights into the sensory relationship whit space, and Michel Certeau’s ideas on every day practices. The analysis demonstrates how Carolina Maria de Jesus, through diaristic writing, constructed a powerful and complex representation of her concrete experience, shaped by editorial and media mediations that influenced her public and literary reception.Doctoral Thesis Fortaleza e seus territórios bluseiros: (re)configuração e (re)territorialidade da cena blues de Fortaleza 2000-2008(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2024-10-31) Barbosa, Leopoldo de Macedo; Santiago Júnior, Francisco das Chagas Fernandes; Souza, Fabiula Sevilha de; Santos, Magno Francisco de Jesus; Lima, Nilsângela Cardoso; Ramalho, Renan Vinícius AlvesThe objective of this thesis is to analyze the blues scene in Fortaleza between 2000 and 2008. After establishing itself as a musical movement in Brazil in the late 1980s, blues began to develop in Fortaleza during the same period, shaping its presence and activity. This development led to the emergence of a blues scene in Fortaleza, as we will demonstrate in the Introduction. Subsequently, throughout the 1990s, the scene consolidated, and from the early 2000s onward, it underwent a reconfiguration, primarily due to the entry of new members and the emergence of new opportunities for blues, redefining the scene’s scope in Fortaleza. The year 2000 marked the transition between two phases of the blues scene: the first phase, characterized by its development and consolidation, and the second, representing its expansion. The year 2008, in turn, was marked by the creation of the Casa do Blues association, an entity that emerged in Fortaleza as a result of the blues scene’s activity. Additionally, this period saw the virtual development of the blues scene, fostering what became known as the virtual blues scene. By delimiting the period between 2000 and 2008, we aim to investigate the actions of the members of this scene to identify and analyze its transformations. As sources, we highlight the testimonies of these individuals (specifically those who joined after 2000), hemerographic materials, and cartography, which contribute to guiding the blues scene in Fortaleza and beyond. In terms of theoretical framework, in addition to the concept of scene, discussions on the categories of space/place, as well as notions of (re)territorialization and (multi)territorialities, are included. Finally, from a theoretical-methodological perspective, we also consider cyberspace as a means of investigating new forms of spatialization within the blues scene.
