This research aimed to establish relations between the Brazilian national historiography, worked by Jessé Souza, with the historiography of the Brazilian science education research field found in the specialized literature. In his works, the theoretical reference of this research, Jessé Souza, works with the historical interpretations of Brazil - interpretations, in the plural, because, in the work of Jessé Souza, two interpretations of the history of Brazil are exposed. The first interpretation, called patrimonialist, seeks our origins in the remote past of Portuguese society and identifies, as the origin of our ills, a supposed backwardness of the country and, mainly, of the State. The second interpretation is proposed by Jessé Souza based on empirical works and other national interpreters such as Gilberto Freyre and Florestan Fernandes. This second interpretation identifies our origins in slavery and perceives exclusion and social inequality as our greatest evils. In order to dialogue with national history, texts available in the specialized literature that deal with the history of the Brazilian science education research field were selected. Through an approach based on the historiography of the problem, and Marc Bloch's regressive method and after numerous joint readings of the texts selected for analysis and the theoretical framework, categories were created that relate the history of the Brazilian science education research field and the historical interpretations of Brazil thought on the Jesse Souza's work. In this article, two of the created categories are presented. The first category connects the theory of modernization, closely linked to the patrimonialist interpretation of Brazil, with financial aid from international and North American agencies for the production of didactic materials and teacher training, recurrently mentioned in the history of Brazilian science education research field. The second category connects the yearning for national modernization, fostered by the patrimonialist historiographical line, with the research and teaching of science in Brazil. Reflections based on these categories point out that the history of the Brazilian science education research field presented in the analyzed literature has connections with the patrimonialist interpretation of Brazil that belittles the slavery aspects of our history and covers up our brutal and current social inequality. Finally, it is left as a suggestion, for the Brazilian science education research field a greater intellectual involvement with the issues of inequality and social exclusion in Brazil.

This research investigates the relation between the architectural attributes of traditional and modern houses in Afghanistan and the constraints imposed on Afghan women’s lives by considering recent incidents. This study draws upon a combination of historical sources and news articles pertaining to contemporary Afghan affairs as its primary data sources. Additionally, it comparatively analyzes two houses — one exemplifying the traditional Afghan design and another, modern architecture — in the City of Herat, Afghanistan. By highlighting the interplay between architectural features and their implications for women’s lives, this research aims to shed light on this dwelling relationship. The findings of this research indicate that urban areas more conspicuously manifest modernization in physical aspects, evinced by the prevalence of modern residential houses. However, with the initiation of new restrictions imposed by the Taliban after 2021, modern houses (characterized by more limited open spaces than traditional ones) engender heightened vulnerability for Afghan women. Thus, confining women within these modern houses deleteriously impacts their physical and mental well-being.

The aim of this article is to analyze the theoretical elaborations and political interventions of jurists and political scientists associated with the Instituto de Direito Público e Ciência Política at Fundação Getúlio Vargas between the 1950s and 1960s. From our theoretical framework, understanding the FGV as a private apparatus of hegemony of fractions of the Brazilian dominant classes, our investigation focused on the broad political-pedagogical repertoire that its intellectuals articulated. We present, at the end, some elements that show how this organized action engendered, systematized and disseminated modernizing-conservative perspectives that fueled the reforming guidelines of the party and electoral fields implemented by the corporatemilitary dictatorial regime installed in Brazil after 1964.

Abstract The interdependent inequalities in the production and circulation of knowledge in the social sciences have marked the historical development of mostly male canons from the centers. With the impulse of the feminist wave in Latin America, the great contribution of invisible women to the construction of the social sciences has begun to have high relevance. This article introduces for the first time the intellectual and professional trajectory of Cynthia Hewitt de Alcántara (1942) from the gender and sociology of knowledge perspectives. Based on her written production and an in-depth interview conducted in July 2022, I focus on the author’s production during her first stay in Mexico between 1966-1985, reconstructing the interrelations between the contexts of production and her contributions contesting modernization processes within the green revolution, the situation of women in peripheral rural contexts and the entangled paradigms of the social sciences from a gendered perspective.

In March 1882, the Kingdom of Italy suspended diplomatic relations with the Republic of Uruguay because two Italian immigrants accused of murder, Raffaele Volpi and Vicenzo Patroni, had been tortured by the Uruguayan police. At that time, criminals and marginalized people were commonly stigmatized and persecuted by the authorities, who considered them to be blocking the political and cultural development of »modern« Uruguay. This context framed the episode. Through historical analysis of the Volpi-Patroni case, its broad press coverage and transnational impact, this article examines the complex process of social identity formation at the time of the massive arrival and inclusion of foreigners into Uruguay society in the last two decades of the 19th century.

This article discusses the ideology of the Bandeira Movement and the composition of imagery in the magazine S. Paulo (1936). It argues that the ideas of this political-cultural movement were used as a discursive strategy to compose the visuality of the magazine: coffee production, the city of São Paulo and the "bandeirante myth" were visually integrated in this periodical. This interpretation of S. Paulo Magazine will be of great relevance, since it reflects the interaction between the ideas of the Bandeira Movement and the political uses of photomontage. The article's conclusions also reveal the means by which the editorial board of this magazine used photography and photomontage to convey a political message. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

From research in the rural area of northern Minas Gerais, this essay examines the connection between the territorialization imposed by modernisation in sertão and the aging conditions of its inhabitants, in order to critically analyze the discardability of the old person in the contemporary world. Based on field research, interviews and bibliographic analysis between the reading of Grande sertão: veredas, it discusses how aging takes place in territories marginalized by the capital movement, rescuing by the memory of the interviewees the sertaneja historicity and its sociability as a form of resistance, collapse or adaptation to economic homogenization. As a result, particular ways of existence and perception of the sertão were presented, indulcing the urgency of another treatment to the elderly by integrating them into the debates and projects that envision a more generous society with its elders.

The representation of Brazilian modernization is central in the literature of the early 20th century. Some works represent adherence to aspects of this process. Others, the resistance to it, with characters that are destroyed by the novelties to which they do not adhere. In this text, I will discuss this dichotomy by analyzing the effects of modernization and the inadaptation to it in the short stories "O jardineiro Timóteo", by Monteiro Lobato, and "Melancolia", by Dyonélio Machado.

The research aims to examine the history of upland rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivation in Porangatu, Goiás. This theme is directly linked to the opening of new frontiers and the modernization of agriculture in the project of accelerated economic development, promoted by the Federal Government in the decades from 1960 to 1980, in the Alto Tocantins microregion. During this period, farmers faced challenges arising from the soil, climate, incipient local structure and little knowledge of the occupied region, since most of them were migrants. However, with the support of Banco do Brasil and, later, with the arrival of the Technical Assistance and Rural Extension Company (Emater), they received specialized guidance from engineers and agricultural technicians to obtain better results in the practice of rice cultivation. Methodologically, the research was based on document analysis and oral reports with farmers, agronomists and agricultural technicians to examine the historical path of upland rice in Goiás, relating it to the process of modernization of Brazilian agriculture.

Seamus Deane and Terence Brown have been two of the most significant voices in Irish literary criticism and culture over the past forty years. This article discusses two highly influential studies of theirs, Deane’s Celtic Revivals and Brown’s Ireland: A Social and Cultural History. I read both works as part of an important phase in the development of Irish literary criticism during the 1980s. I compare three aspects of both studies: the role of politics in the critical approaches taken in both works; the different ways in which they tackle the problem of essentialism in Irish culture; their manner of addressing the question of language, in terms of literary language in the case of Deane and the Irish language in the case of Brown. The article highlights some problems that arise in these aspects of the two studies, while also emphasizing their importance for Irish criticism.

Carlos Lacerda (1914-1977) appears in the specialized literature and in the memory of journalists as one of the characters who led the so-called press modernization, that is, the realization of a series of technical, ethical and operational changes developed within the newsrooms around from the 1950s. This article intends to examine the role attributed to Carlos Lacerda and his Tribuna da Imprensa in the modernization process in focus, taking as sources of investigation memory books, articles, editorials and testimonies of journalists who approached aspects of the trajectory of the character after his death on May 21, 1977. As a main conclusion, we highlight the fragmentary character of journalistic memory and the disputes of meaning around Carlos Lacerda's commitment to objective journalism and democratic values and institutions.

Commented Article: ZHE, Dai; JUAN, Wen. Formation of a new rural power structure and the failure of gender in utopia: lesbian image and its metaphors in Wildcat Lake. Trans/ Form/Ação: Unesp journal of philosophy, v. 45, n. 4, p. 13-28, 2022.

Chen Yingsong created Wildcat Lake not just for telling a story about lesbians. By describing how Xiang’er, a rural woman, becomes a lesbian in the villages, we can see the “richness” and “metaphorical meaning” of the lesbian symbol. As far as Wildcat Lake is concerned, it is more worthy of discussing how Xiang’er becomes a lesbian, which is not only about sex or gender, but also about political and economic oppression; therefore, the so-called gender in Utopia will inevitably fail. Furthermore, the loss of rural subjectivity during modernization and transformation, the subsequent new power structure, and the resulting oppression and exploitation are the fundamental reasons for Xiang’er to become a lesbian and eventually “kill her husband”.

This article aims to analyze the contributions of the doctor, Clidenor de Freitas Santos, to Piauí psychiatry in a context of modernization in Teresina (1940-1950), capital ofPiauí. From the bibliographic study and the investigation of sources such as newspapers, reports and chronicles, it is possible to understand how the doctor arrives in the city in a scenario of lack of assistance to the mental health of that population, reforms the administration of the old institution for the treatment of the insane, establishes therapeutic methods hitherto unknown in the region and builds its own hospital, the Meduna Sanatorium, for the assistance of psychotics. With significant contributions, he becomes an important name in Piauí psychiatry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article aims to understand how a convergence occurred in Uruguay throughout the 1960s between the efforts to modernize the social sciences and the discussion of university modernization at Universidad de la República. The notion of “modernization" used recovers the meanings attributed to it by the protagonists of these processes. The article seeks to clarify the ideas that guided these modernizing programs, their agendas, their agents and the institutional forms they adopted. It emphasizes the existence of alliances based on convergences of ideas, but also of interests and opportunities in a limited academic environment such as Uruguay. To this end, the network of interpersonal links that facilitated the cooperation between actors with different professional careers and party affiliations is shown.

The modernization of agriculture dialogues with the latest regional, national and international events. Since hearing a political option in Brazil from 1930 onwards for conservative modernization, agriculture has been used to produceraw materials for industry. The peasants, who preferred to live in a simple way, practicing traditional agriculture, demonstrated resistance to the modernization model that came through the state through financial intermediation and credit-oriented policies, making the introduction of elements that represented the modernization of agriculture as mandatory. implements, hybrid seeds, herbicides and insecticides. Faced with the option for the capitalist modernization of agriculture that the peasantry demonstrates resistance since the consequences were the pollution of the environment, the growth of large estates and the rural exodus.

Currently, theorists of historical sociology highlight education as an element of singular importance in the complex processes of modernization, diversely experienced in particular regional and national scenarios. Following this perspective, the object of analysis here is the movement to elaborate educational policies in the first half of the 1930s in Portugal and Brazil, taking it as an exponent of the modernizing dilemmas faced by such societies. Safeguarding their specificities and positionalities, it is observed that, in the course of the accentuated institutional reformulations that both nations experienced in such a historical environment - that is, discretionary period and constitutional reformulation -, collective ideas act in the configuration of projects of the Nation outlined in a critical dialogue between local realities and the challenges of building a modern identity. In this regard, the formulation of educational legislation appears invested with a peculiar heuristic value for understanding the competing social meanings that guided political actions in each of these national contexts. Such semantics are captured through the Content Analysis (CA) technique of the legislative acts of the Military Dictatorship recorded in the Government Gazettes of the Republic of Portugal in the period between 1926-1933 and documents related to the elaboration of the 1933 Constitution in Portugal, as well as the Annals of the National Constituent Assembly of 1933/34 in Brazil.

This article This article analyzes the introduction of capitalism in Ceará from the construction of the Estrada de Ferro de Baturité, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The focus of the study is on the implementation of a modernization project for the country, closely related to the expansion of capitalism through the export of capital, which consisted in the establishment of economic relations that would guarantee the investment of foreign capital (English) in the realization of great works, notably the construction of railroads. This process was a modifier of the relations established in that space, which was changed in the service of new impositions and / or improvements, essential to States and nations that wished to be linked to the rhythms of Western European progress, and to the perception and understanding of time. Thus, it was demonstrated here how the Ceará space was modified in the service of a time, the time of improvements, the time of the circulation of goods, the time of capitalism.

This article intends to identify how the cognitive procedure of Kant's critical philosophy is related to the enlightened principle of expanding the world. My hypothesis is that the task of the critical philosophy on knowing "how is it possible the synthetic a priori judgements?" takes to the enlargement of the faculty of judgment and the possession of objects by the intellect. Notions such as Copernican Revolution, Experience, and Space-Time are forms which cannot be seen as bare principles for knowing objects but also as elements that allow to have the world through judgments; this expresses a model of modernization as well. That was noted by the young Benjamin and the elders Adorno & Horkheimer, which, despite to have different views on Kant's philosophy, realized its strength in a way that these principles could still be observed at the social domain in the first half of 20th century.

The article is the result of ethnographic work carried out in artisan cheese farms of southwestern Minas Gerais, Brazil. Its purpose is to discuss the complexity of the activity and the contemporary presence of peasants in the manufacture of this product. The peasants are analyzed as historical subjects, with a diversity of ways of being and living, and distinctive characteristics concerning the classic concept of peasant, resulting from their own national and regional circumstances. The “peasant” category, has emerged locally as an epistemological problem to be addressed, as it escapes the illusion of the circumscription of traditional society, which considers it a well-defined social and cultural unit. In a contemporary context, framed by the accelerated flow of people and things, in which borders are increasingly blurred, this category was not understood or used as a notion of society, but as actors who associate in various networks and who hold the family, land, and work as moral elements from which they establish specific relations with the occupied territories. Part of this complexity of relationships is what I discuss in this text. As I approached, through my fieldwork, the experiences and practices developed by social subjects, the research led me to the challenge of creating a multi-actor ethnography, several ethnographic “soils,” and empirical questions to be solved. Faced with this situation, I chose to assume the idea of a “peasantry,” understood as a subjectivity present, to a greater or lesser extent, in different specific groups that are articulated to varying extents and in ambiguous terms with modernity. Finally, I provide examples of how the trajectory of these actors is not linear, in such a way that a movement towards a dimension of modernity can open up variants that reconstitute tradition. With the establishment of health standards that reinforce “modernization” processes and the control activities that render illegal the Canastra producers, I analyze how they build local strategies based on their peasant ways.

This article aims to analyze the fallacy of modernization as simulacrum of poverty reproduction simulation and misery in Baixo São Francisco, Sergipe. From the Plateau of Neópolis Project to the reality of the Brejão dos Negros Community, we highlight the spectrum of modernization as land and water appropriation and precarious work. The agribusiness as an expropriation process is responsible for intensifying conflicts that foster the struggle for sovereignty and social reproduction. As a theoretical-methodological course there were the interviews, whose subjects' speeches contributed to the foundation of a reality characterized by the expansion of vast lands for the production of sugarcane, grass and tropical fruits for exporatation at the same time that it emerges as one of the most unequal and miserable territories in the state. In the future that points to the horizon of reality, it agrees that being a geographer should be doing to be revolutionary, to capture the singular / particular as a whole, equipped of the universal categories of critical thinking. Therefore, if the essence informs us about the permanence of peasants, riversides and quilombolas, the struggle is considered as a condition, means and product of human resistance.

The coffee growing is the third agricultural activity with greater economic importance in Rondônia and is going through a technical modernization process. Thus, this work proposes a spatio-temporal periodization of coffee production in the state, pointing out the tecnical characteristics used in each period, understanding the spatial trasnformations in Rondonia during it's territorial development and integrating science in coffee production. Aside from periodize the activity to understand the modernization process of coffee growing, we understand that throughout history, have been formed three major coffee production regions at the state: Cacoal's region; Zona da Mata and Vale do Guaporé's region; lastly Machadinho D'Oeste's region. The development of productive coffee regions results from territorial division of labor and specialization, integrating spatial circuit of coffee production at the local, nacional and international scale.

The production of cassava starch is the main source of income for the residents of the Tatu Community, located in the municipality of Rio Pardo de Minas, in the northern region of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The work in the gum tents has been passed on from generation to generation, but there have been changes due to the modernization of agriculture. The present work tried to discuss how mechanization/modernization in the production of starch interferes in the traditional life bonds of the Tatu community. It is a qualitative research that used as source of information the speeches of two residents of the community, obtained through semi-structured interviews, as well as information from the experiences of the main author-researcher. It is noted that with the arrival of modernization, accompanied by mechanization, the weakening or even the loss of some traditional bonds such as the exchange of services. At the same time, the work in the production of starch still is artisan/familiar, there are exchanges of seedlings and farmers understand that the community is built from the help of others.

This article discusses the relation between the developmental project designed for the country in the 1950s and 1960s and the high school, based on the ideology of modernization oriented to social and economic progress, which emphasis on teaching as an element able of making possible the intended changes, according to the precepts of the theory of Human Capital. For this, the methodology used involved documental analysis, according to the assumptions of Cellard (2008), having as methodologicalinterpretative principles Popkewitz's (1997) theorizations, involving 'social epistemology'. Based on these notes, three printed materials intended for secondary school teachers were analyzed: 'Escola Secundária' magazine, published between 1958 and 1963, and the books 'Manual do Professor Secundário', by Theobaldo Miranda Santos, published in 1961 and 'Escola Secundária Moderna', by Lauro de Oliveira Lima, published in 1962. The research results indicate the emergence of new rationales for teaching secondary education in Brazil, which we call 'neo-teaching', based on the imperatives of economic development, following the corporate molds of performativity, competitiveness and permanent innovation. Such configurations, derived from the neoliberal economicist perspective, position the teacher as a facilitator of learning, based on the ideal of modernization and renewal of teaching, oriented towards pedagogical efficiency.
