The objective of this article is to understand how the YouTube hit Galinha Pintadinha (Lottie Dottie Chicken), a naïve Brazilian animation aimed at preschool children, defies the power of big media companies and offers new ways of audiovisual enjoyment. I will describe the emergence of the animation and its YouTube channel called Galinha Pintadinha, which initially had only the Brazilian preschool audience as a target, and then I will analyze its internationalization process that has been developing on YouTube. I have paid attention to the uploaded video strategies of the seven international YouTube channels of Galinha Pintadinha (American, British, French, Italian, Indian, Japanese, and Spanish) considering the number of subscribers to each channel, the number of views, and the growth of the channels. The success reached by Galinha Pintadinha around the world is a result of the audiovisual reconfiguration processes considering the Brazilian audiovisual history in the global flow of media content.

While studying immigrant worlding in Brazil's nineteenth-century southern settler frontier, I stumbled across multiple ways of archiving, from poor farmers' viva voce prayers and reminiscences to the nurturing of herbal gardens and usage of forest medicinal products to communal vital registries and home burials (including my ancestors')—all bridging the sensual and conceptual realms through specific material constellations. I take the traces emanating from this unschooled sensorium as an "unfinished system of nonknowledge" forged against the specter of death, as in the 1874 fratricidal conflict that crushed the natural enlightenment of the so-called Mucker false saints. Here, on the edges of colonization, traces-of-what-one-does-not-know testify to the house as an ongoing index of survival and insurgency: both a cluster of materialities, relations, and affects through which complex practices of healing and living on emerge together and an archiving operation combining the historical and the unhistorical in the refiguration of humanness and futurity. As these flickering homespun traces exceed the racialization and necropolitics conjured by the ruling classes and confront brutal efforts at "silencing the past," they also carry "the poetry it is possible not to write"—that is, folks' imaginative and horizon-making capacities, which include the Spirit of Nature and relationships to our dead and which storytelling animates time and again.

The article discusses the importance of understanding the historical scope and longevity of conservative mobilization, highlighting the influence of Brazil and Latin America in this movement. The far-right presents innovations in its mobilization strategy and dispute in the field of human rights, occupying institutional political spaces and forming conservative transnational alliances. The text mentions figures such as Paul Weyrich, Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira, Benjamin Cowan, William Lind, and Alejandro Chafuen, who had influence in the dissemination of conservative ideas. Additionally, the text addresses the rise of conservatism in Brazil and its connection with transnational far-right movements, as well as the transnational articulation of ultraconservative forces in Latin America. The challenge for the human rights movement is to confront this "conservative revolution" and defend the perspective of an expanded interpretation of human rights. [Extracted from the article]

This article discusses possible dialogues between medical history and the history of concepts, suggesting that a "socio-conceptual-moral" history of medicine offers insightful elements for the historical analysis of conceptual change. Drawing mainly from Reinhart Koselleck's Begriffsgeschichte and Ludwik Fleck's theory of knowledge, I focus on three points of the "socio-conceptual-moral" perspective: the approach to medical statements as part of a semantic field, the interaction between a formulated concept and its practice, and negotiations about the meanings of medical concepts between different social arenas. I take the history of cancer prevention in Brazil as a case study to discuss these three aspects and emphasize the situated character of conceptual change. The article analyzes the period between the 1960s and the 1990s when substantial changes in the conceptual framework of cancer prevention confronted continuities in public health and medicine practices, policies, and institutions.

The São Paulo Modern Art Week celebrated its hundredth anniversary in February of this year, generating a wave of publications and events in Brazil. Although emblematic works of Brazilian modernism were not presented, the Week left a mark in the collective memory for its controversial nature and its provocations to academic taste. The article talks about the public and controversial nature of the São Paulo Modern Art Week in Brazil, which marked a change in the country's literary system. The Brazilian modernism of '22 liberated local material and provoked a dialectic between the local and the cosmopolitan. Additionally, the article highlights the relationship of modernism with Brazilian history and its influence on subsequent movements and works. [Extracted from the article]

If David Bell in his book Men on Horseback (2020) focuses on what is political charisma, how it functions, and what it means 'to write its history', this article examines how Brazil's ex-President Luís Inácio Lula da Silva ('Lula') acquired charisma during the dramatic 1978–80 metalworkers' strikes in the industrial ABC region of São Paulo, Brazil. While generating a vast literature, scholars of the ABC strikes have evaded the question of how Lula, the gifted organiser, emerged as a recognisably charismatic figure. This article explains where, when and why this happened and how a charismatic bond was forged as 100,000 stigmatised, fearful, self-doubting 'peons' came to constitute themselves as a locally articulated social actor, a group in fusion, whose boldness and creativity led to extraordinary feats of organisation and mobilisation. Arguing against conflating charisma and populism, it also establishes the utility of the theorisation of group-making advanced in the Critique of Dialectical Reason (1960) by Jean-Paul Sartre.

The article "Future Past: the history that 2022 will leave about 1822" is a special dossier about the 200 years of Brazil's independence. The text addresses different perspectives and interpretations about Brazil's Independence, divided into four sections: the people involved in the independence, the rights achieved, the projects, and the literature related to the theme. The dossier also discusses the presence of black people, indigenous people, and women in the history of independence, the role of non-white individuals in the independence throughout the Americas, and the participation of Bahia in Brazil's independence. Additionally, the article analyzes the history of Art Nouveau in Brazil in the 1920s, the narrative about Bahia's participation in Brazil's Independence in regional textbooks, the issue of slavery in the Independence, and the right to petition in the context of Brazil's Independence. The dossier had the collaboration of the Oliveira Lima Library and the National Library Foundation of Brazil. [Extracted from the article]

The reconstruction of the economic history of Brazil since independence from Portugal (1822) may lead to a new understanding of its economic growth. The deep-rooted idea that Brazil could have done better means there is a need to delve into each phase of its development. In this paper, we provide a very long-run perspective (1822-2019) of Brazil's economic growth and process of real convergence. On the one hand, this review indicates that structural changes observed in the middle of the 20th century were crucial in promoting the country's growth and real convergence with technologically advanced countries. On the other hand, poor institutional conditions and deficient human capital formation have emerged since colonial times as critical factors underlying Brazil's inability to establish robust and sustainable economic growth.

Background/Context: Considered one of the most influential educators in Brazil's history, Anísio Teixeira is one of the renowned Latin American students who came to Teachers College (TC). Teixeira was a prominent reformer and educator known for advocating free, public, and secular education accessible to all children. His work as an educator and policy maker is closely related to the idea that schools are "machines that generate democracy." Purpose/Objective: The article discusses how Teixeira's education at Teachers College and his experiences within the U.S. schooling system shaped his conceptions of education and influenced how he aimed to reform the Brazilian public school. Research Design: The study is a historical analysis based on archival research and the works published by Teixeira on education and democracy. Conclusions: Brazil and the United States' historical moment influenced how Anísio Teixeira lived his personal and academic experiences at Teachers College. While discussions on society and education in his home country revolved around establishing a new model, Teachers College welcomed international students who could promote values based on the example offered by the United States. The combination of those perspectives impacted how Teixeira perceived the centrality of democratic values on schooling practices and considered them central for the reforms he would implement upon returning to Brazil.

The present paper deals with the postposition of the indefinite "algum" (some) in relation to the noun to instantiate the negative polarity in the nominal phrase in the Portuguese language diachrony, seeking to understand: (i) the nature of the structure [N+algum] in sixteenth-, seventeenth-, eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Portuguese texts, and in nineteenth-century Brazilian texts; and (ii) the process of grammaticalization of the structure as a Negative Polarity Item (IPN, in Portuguese Item de Polaridade Negativa) in the history of the language. It has been found that the structure [N+algum], with inversion, in the 16th and 17th centuries, Classical Portuguese (PCL, in Portuguese Português Clássico), could be used with non-negative value and that other elements could occur in a noun phrase (NP), including the possibility of inflection and non-adjacency between the noun and the indefinite. Such facts supported the hypothesis that in PCL the structure [N+algum] was not grammaticalized as an IPN and the negative value was valued by the presence of a sentential negation operator, preposition or negative conjunction in a higher syntactic domain. It has been concluded that the indefinite in PCL is a determiner (D) even in structures with inversion, these being derived from the movement of the lexical part of the phrase to the specifier position of Determiner Phrase (DP) a fact that contemplates the D properties of "algum" in PCL.

The article proposes a novel approach to Brazil's history by radicalising environmental history's call for writing biophysical environments into the human past. We offer three independent narrative experiments centring nonhuman organisms and things and their power to shape human lives, institutions, and documents. Focusing on ants, mosquitoes, and plankton, these stories put Brazil's early modernity (1850–1950) into perspective, highlighting the immersion of humans in a wider world of agentic beings and things. Our approach emphasizes the uniqueness of individual experiences engendered by the randomness and contingency of a multitude of unexpected encounters with other-than-human entities. We conclude by tracing the broad outlines of a historical approach capable of narrating and explaining Brazil as a more-than-human political community. • Offers a post-anthropocentric approach to Brazil's environmental history. • Explores how nonhuman beings co-produced documents, landscapes, and biographies. • Shows how ants could express themselves through self-narratives. • Shows how mosquitoes shaped entomological eradication campaigns. • Shows how plankton played a role in institutional human politics.

ABSTRACT Objective: Associate Dom Pedro II’s life trajectory and the beginning of Brazilian psychiatry through the Pedro II Asylum. Methods: We conducted a narrative review of the literature on three search databases: Google Scholar, Pub Med, and Web of Science (SciELO). Results: The first Brazilian psychiatry institution, the Pedro II Asylum (1841-1889), was created by the number 82 decree on 18 July 1841. The launching occurred at Dom Pedro II’s coronation ceremony. It was a celebration that aimed at enhancing the Brazilian monarch’s power and at legitimizing the emperor’s adulthood at the age of fourteen. Throughout the 48 years of the Dom Pedro II empire, his cultural and science interests influenced the emergence of incipient Brazilian scientific research. In this regard, the Pedro II Asylum was portrayed not only as a health care institution but also undertook an effort to attend the social and cultural modifications promoted at the Brazilian imperial court after the Portuguese Crown family arrived in 1808. It also represented the influence of French psychiatry based on Phillipe Pinel’s (1745-1826) principles of moral treatment. Conclusions: Concisely, the Pedro II Asylum was a representation of Dom Pedro II’s personality as a patron of science, the emergence of Brazilian psychiatry, and the imperial society hierarchy.

Government transparency and openness are key factors to bring forth the modernization of the state. The combination of transparency and digital information has given rise to the concept of Open Government, that increases citizen understanding and monitoring of government actions, which in turn improves the quality of public services and of the government decision making process. With the goal of improving legislative transparency and the understanding of the Brazilian regulatory process and its characteristics, this paper introduces RegBR, the first national framework to centralize, classify and analyze regulations from the Brazilian government. A centralized database of Brazilian federal legislation built from automated ETL routines and processed with data mining and machine learning techniques was created. Our framework evaluates different NLP models in a text classification task on our novel Portuguese legal corpus and performs regulatory analysis based on metrics that concern linguistic complexity, restrictiveness, law interest, and industry-specific citation relevance. Our results were examined over time and validated by correlating them with known episodes of regulatory changes in Brazilian history, such as the implementation of new economic plans or the emergence of an energy crisis. Methods and metrics proposed by this framework can be used by policy makers to measure their own work and serve as inputs for future studies that could analyze government changes and their relationship with federal regulations.

The permanence of the debates carried out in Brazilian modernism throughout the 20th century is discussed based on an analysis of the discourses of aesthetic and political engagement proposed by Mário de Andrade, of the official institutional actions that privileged the productions of this aesthetic current in their cultural, educational, and diplomatic policies, as well as the actions of interpreters and composers in defense of musical nationalism. It concludes that, in order to understand this permanence, it is necessary to reflect on the role that institutions have historically played, and that the analysis of the action of other agents, such as interpreters, can reveal aspects not yet discussed in the study of modernism.

The question of how to generate development while preserving the environment is central to the history of the Brazilian Amazon. Many decades of top-down state interventions conceived and executed under a developmentalist framework have resulted in a socioenvironmental crisis. In response, the Sustainable Oil Palm Production Program (SPOPP) was launched in 2010. It promised to break with developmentalist visions and articulate environmental and sustainability concerns. This paper uses assemblage thinking to examine how these contrasting, often impossible-to-balance, views manifest within SPOPP implementation. We describe how non-human actors (trees, diseases, previous policies and agroecological zoning technologies) interact with human actors. However, powerful actors, in the state and beyond, continue to garner support for their developmentalist interests and thwart or depoliticize environmental and social concerns, thus limiting change.

The Rural Education modality is a great conquest of the organized social movements and of the Brazilian peasants. Gradually, it was conquering space, consolidating its guiding principles, and operational guidelines, and structuring itself to serve the social groups abandoned by the system throughout the history of Brazil. This work is based on documentary research and a series of interviews with students of the Rural Education degree of the Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia who live in rural communities of the city of Laje-Bahia, Brazil. This work has as its main objective to understand the social function of the course and investigate the anthropological, teleological, and methodological conceptions that guide the work of the University professors. Investigating students, communities, teachers and the results obtained during their trajectory over time is very important to build records that help other researchers interested in this problem and contribute to improving, more and more, the services provided. by the investigated institution.

The objective was to analyze the scientific production of Paulo Freire disseminated through the Scopus database. This is a bibliometric study that analyzed 1,051 articles indexed in Scopus between 1972 and July 22, 2022. The VOSviewer and Excel programs were used for data processing and analysis. The results added productivity, visibility and relationship concerning the production of Paulo Freire. The oldest article was published in 1972, with an increase in production from 1990-1991, being more expressive rein recent years. Brazil is the most productive country (353 articles and 905 citations), but the United States has the highest number of citations (278 articles and 5,669 citations). It is concluded that Paulo Freire's intellectual trajectory enriches the History of Brazilian Education and from it emanates multiple constructs, which remain in full force and are essential to reflect and practice humanizing education.

Starting in 2014, Brazilian politics was shaken up by the lava jato (LJ) operation, a law‐centered anticorruption initiative. LJ unveiled a large corruption scheme in Brazil's national oil company Petrobras, which involved Petrobras directors, political party officials, and large construction companies. LJ was both disruptive and contentious. To some, it started a new chapter in Brazilian history, marked by greater respect for the "rule of law" and a collective "state of mind" concerned with "ending impunity" and building integrity in politics and businesses. To others, it contributed to undermining democracy and the rule of law, paving the way for an autocratic leader—the current Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro. This article sheds further light on those discussions by looking at LJ as a site of "legal consciousness" production. Empirically, the article focuses on conversations generated by lead LJ prosecutors on a major social media platform (Facebook) from 2017 to 2019. Considering this body of data, the article addresses the question: "When prosecutors and 'the people' talked about LJ, what did they talk about?" My findings support the more skeptical views of the operation. The exchanges between LJ prosecutors and their Facebook followers supported the co‐production of a cultural schema averse to the "rule of law." These findings have implications for both legal consciousness and anticorruption research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes the efforts to build spaces for the medical community in Brazil since the transfer of the Court from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro in 1808, through the country's independence process, until the creation of the Imperial Academy of Medicine, in 1835. Such initiatives affirm the prominence of medical-scientific knowledge in the face of traditional healing practices, as well as a hygienic agenda for the independent nation, strongly linked to the legitimation of local expertise in Brazilian climatology. Throughout this process, some medical leaders involved sought to affirm the convergence between the hygienic discourse and the interests of the nascent imperial state, while at the same time announcing the renewal of the mechanisms of legitimation of the career that, supposedly, started to be given by scientific merit instead of the patronage system typical of the Ancien Régime.

This article explores how diseases were contemplated and faced in Portuguese America in the early 1820s, shortly before the consolidation of the political rupture with Portugal that made Brazil an independent country. It analyzes who the individuals called to treat the diseases of the suffering population were, along with their knowledge and their therapies. To achieve this, we must begin by taking a step back in time, emphasizing the influences of the reforms of the Portuguese Empire on medical knowledge in the second half of the eighteenth century. The first section of the article is dedicated to exploring the complex and multifaceted healing practices in Portuguese America, resulting from the mixtures between traditional concepts about the body and the diseases that were part of the cultural references of the local population. The article then moves on to analyze some of the institutional and political conflicts involved in the consolidation of scientific medicine in Brazil, especially after the transfer of the Portuguese Court to Rio de Janeiro. Despite the political prestige of academic doctors, practitioners of the healing arts had broad support from the population, in addition to finding social mobility in the breaches of clientelistic relationships that marked the political culture of the period.

The IBGE has been playing a leading role in the public policy evaluation in Brazil since 2019. After the National Health Survey (PNS) evaluated primary care services in the Unified Health System (SUS) provided to adults, in 2022, the Continuous National Household Sample Survey (PNAD-C) investigated child health. To this end, it adopted one version of the Primary Care Assessment Tool (PCAT), developed and disseminated by Starfield and Shi to assess the existence and extent of the attributes of PHC services. The target audience surveyed included children under 13 years of age, and the questionnaires were answered by their guardians/caregivers. It included all the 27 federative units of the country in random probabilistic samples, also unfolding in the Brazilian metropolitan regions and capitals. This is the largest household survey on child health assessment ever conducted in Brazil. With the PNS-2019 and the PNAD-C in 2022, IBGE inaugurates its greatest legacy for Brazilian primary health care regarding the evaluation of SUS users, with all federative units recognizing and understanding how Brazilian society evaluates health services at the first level of care.

Curt Nimuendajú Unckel is well known as a Brazilian ethnologist and linguist who acquired his scientific skills in a self-taught manner over the course of his life. In doing so, Nimuendajú found his way into academia with work that offers important impulses for comparative religion and the sociology of religion. However, Nimuendajú has hardly been received in religious studies to date. Therefore, this paper will focus on and present Nimuendajú's achievements in religious studies. For this purpose, the early period of Nimuendajú's upbringing will be examined (1914-1926), in which the interest in religious studies becomes particularly visible. In parallel, an exchange of letters that Nimuendajú had with the German ethnologist Theodor Koch-Grünberg (1872-1924) is consulted and provides background knowledge on Nimuendajú's genuine research interest.

This paper presents part of the results of a doctoral research dedicated to analyze the cycle of the educational policy on gender and sexual diversity in Brazil. Based on Stephen Ball's propositions, which applies Foucault's notions of power and discourse on educational policies, the analysis aimes, beyond the metrics, to understand the political-discursive dynamics that marked both the production of this policy as the systematic reaction that has been organized against it. This text analyzes the background of this policy, its main initiatives, the agents involved in its construction and the pedagogical discourse they produced. It also identifies its main opponents, their tactics and discursive strategies, seeking to understand how they are articulated with the reactionary movements that have dominated Brazil in recent years. Finally, the paper hilights evidences that the debate on gender and sexual diversity in schools survives even in times of conservatism, censorship and ideological terrorism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The text discusses the work Murmúrios (1960) by the Maranhão-based black poet Mariana Luz (1871-1960), second woman to get into Maranhão's Letters Academy in 1949. Teacher, poet, artist and playwright, Mariana Luz has suffered, as many other black artists, an invisibility process of her life and work. Here, we aim to recover this black poet trajectory and to analyze her lyric production. This research, mainly bibliographical, is also based on the documental analysis of newspapers articles. The analytical and interpretative reading of her poetry, besides exploring aesthetic tendencies, aims to show the relations of her production with the social and cultural end-of-century period, especially the poems that address the melancholy and the feminine themes. To discuss Mariana Luz's poetry is essential not only for the Brazilian Literature History, but for the historical reparation of her invisibility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
