By 1950, the northern region of Paraná State was an affluent settlement zone, due to the prosperous coffee-growing industry and a recent systematic colonization scheme, with its deliberate process of urbanization, which had been responsible for a network of planned new towns. The region was economically and culturally tied to the dominant city of São Paulo, and the changing image of its main towns – Londrina and Maringá – was basically the result of the work of prestigious São-Paulo-based architects and town planners that had been hired by the local elite. Notably, modern architecture and urbanism were imported as a means of achieving modernity: a targeted instrument of civilization, even in a colonization zone where material conditions were relatively unfavourable. In fact, the acts of borrowing, rejection, imitation, adaptation, and transformation can be observed in the movement of ideas. Thus, this paper aims to analyse the two-way relationship established between the most influential Brazilian metropolis and the wealthy provincial hinterland longing to mirror modern features. More precisely, it aims to account for foreign influences and local initiatives as global mechanisms responsible not only for the diffusion of modern planning and architectural practices but also for the construction of a pioneering regional identity.

Current paper studies some historical aspects that involve the theft of a religious statue in Antonina PR Brazil in 1984. The statue of Senhor Bom Jesus do Saivá, brought from Portugal in the mid-18th century by Captain Manoel José Alves, mysteriously vanished from the high alter of the church where it had laid for almost 200 years. Revolt, commotion and reactions from the Solidarity members and the general public are the object of current analysis and critique. The development of several occurrences and the aftermath of this historical and police episode bring to the fore several issues in the religious and cultural heritage in Brazil, aspects on collective identity and the relationship of the community with its tangible and intangible goods.

Common-land-system is characterized by the use of common land for animal breeding and grazing. Current paper is fine-tuned to the occurrences of grasshopper infestation and swine fever within the communal land system in the 1940s in the region of Irati PR Brazil. Investigation focuses on the practice and meanings of common land users appropriated by the above-mentioned occurrences since the latter tested the common land system and the survival and permanence of its users in the region.
