From reading and critiquing the sources (newspapers, government reports, laws, decrees, photographs, literature, memorial accounts) as well as the historiographical production on the subject of Natal's urban history, it was noted how, during the period in which modernizing proposals and projects were thought up and implemented for the city, certain places - Ribeira, Cidade Alta and Cidade Nova - were favoured, while others, located in the peripheral zone, such as the Rocas neighbourhood, were treated secondarily in terms of the distribution of resources and material interventions. The urban planning projects, as well as the legislation regulating the spaces, had a segregating and excluding character, as they were related to the wishes of the ruling classes to ensure the shaping and modernization of the city, or rather parts of it, those parts that served as their spaces of interaction and valued sociability, which were located in the central zone. Rocas was not, at least until the mid-1920s, part of the (political and economic) interests of the dominant groups. On the contrary, Rocas was a place of poverty, misery, disease and danger; it was a place where the city's poor and working class lived, a place for fishermen, port and railway workers, small traders, socially excluded groups, or rather, those perversely included in society, until it was associated, around the 1940s, with tradition and popular culture. In view of this, the thesis defended in this work is that the way in which the ruling groups treated the Rocas neighbourhood during the city's modernization process, whether from an administrative or discursive point of view, contributed to the production and reproduction of a dynamic that resulted in processes of socio-spatial segregation, that is, making this place, physically located on the banks of the river and the sea, also appear on the margins of modernizing projects and, in a certain sense, also on the margins of history.Master Thesis Do Norte ao Sul: a missão do cruzador "José Bonifácio" e a incorporação do pescador a um projeto de nação (1900-1930)(2018-08-31) Bentes Filho, Giovanni Roberto Protásio; Arrais, Raimundo Pereira Alencar; ; ; Viana, Helder do Nascimento; ; Neves, Berenice Abreu de Castro;The present work aims at analyzing the actions and policies of the State aimed at the fisherman, specifically in the first half of the twentieth century, with emphasis on the process that became known as the mission of José Bonifácio cruiser. The Navy, between 1919 and 1923, organized a campaign that crossed the Brazilian coast, from the extreme north to the south of the country, with the aim of its actions being the fishermen. The campaign became known as the mission of Jose Bonifacio cruiser. The declared objectives of this campaign, in the beginning, were scientific studies on the coast, in Brazilian waters, coastal sanitation, the organization of fishermen in colonies, the conversion of them into National Navy military reserve and the nationalization of fishing. At the head of this campaign was the frigate captain Frederico Villar, an officer of the Navy who, since 1909, had been involved in fishing activities, such as trips to Europe to study fishing industries on that continent countries, as well as in the preparation of reports on how to organize fishing in Brazil. Since the 19th century, public authorities have sought to organize fishing activities in the country, but we have focused our analysis between the years 1900 and 1930, as a period in which there was much discussion about the development of fishing through projects, laws and decrees that sought to establish a regularity for fishing, as well as the influence of the First World War in organizing the campaign project. The mission was the culmination of an administrative change in which the competence of fisheries affairs had shifted from the Ministry of Agriculture to that of the Navy in 1920, as well as the statedirected transformations of fishing activity. From the analysis of the ministerial reports of the Navy and Agriculture, of periodicals, of legislation, of texts produced by the commanding officer Frederico Villar, we sought to identify the motivations that led the Navy to organize this campaign, the subjects involved, as well as the problems, conflicts and resistance to the mission program. Some places were privileged in our analyzes, Pará and Rio de Janeiro states. The choice of these places was made necessary by the way Frederico Villar's work on the mission, published in 1945, dealt with the event. Villar dealt little with the aspects of the journey itself. He declined to comment on his performance and that of the commission in the extreme northern, in the states of Amazonas and Pará, and presented the event as a positive action. But what we realized was that there were clashes and tensions against the mission of José Bonifácio. In Rio de Janeiro, he highlighted some facts such as the “case of the poveiros”, Portuguese fishermen, and a confusion involving the chronicler Paulo Barreto, known as João do Rio. Both events occurred based on the mission and government actions at the time in the name of nationalization law of fishing, in other words, the idea that the government was chasing Portuguese fishermen based on that law. In these two places the campaign was associated with anti-lusitanism, which Villar denied in one of his writings, stating that everything he had done was in accordance with the law. In this sense, we will analyze a first part of the voyage of José Bonifácio cruiser, when the ship left Rio de Janeiro on October 13, 1919 and returned to Rio on July 3, 1920.
