Título: A poluição como problema público: um século de desigualdades ambientais, sociais e urbanas na Região Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro Autor: Misse Filho, Michel Primeiro orientador: Santos, Mariana Cavalcanti Rocha dos Abstract: The uneven effects of the environmental crisis have garnered increasing attention in recent years, bringing concepts like environmental justice and environmental racism into broader discussions. However, urban research in Brazil using these frameworks remains limited, often overlooking the unique variables and dynamics of Brazilian cities. This dissertation seeks to examine the mechanisms behind environmental inequality, analyzing it as a key component of broader social inequalities and urban dynamics. The study focuses on sanitation disparities in the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro between the 1930s and 2020, alongside the historical emergence of pollution in Guanabara Bay as a public issue. Drawing on archival research from newspapers and historical statistics, the dissertation traces how pollution was initially framed as a biodiversity issue, later became a public health concern, and ultimately evolved into a recurring topic in state politics through repeated yet unfulfilled cleanup promises. Crucially, the social inequalities embedded in this process have been largely overlooked. Through a longitudinal and spatial analysis of sanitation infrastructure, this research highlights how non-white populations, low-income communities, and residents of slums and urban peripheries are disproportionately affected, and these disparities grow sharper as sanitation infrastructures become more desirable. Additionally, water pollution has had greater impacts on peripheral beaches, often compounded by other urban policies such as land reclamation, highway construction, and industrial zoning. These policies not only reshaped the physical landscape but also disrupted the social and cultural ties of communities that once frequented these beaches, many of which are now neglected or forgotten. The dissertation also provides a historical account of the efforts to implement pollution control infrastructures in Guanabara Bay, examining the political decisions and territorial inequalities that shaped these initiatives. Finally, it argues that the failure to address these inequalities and their connections to broader urban and social dynamics has limited the framing of pollution as a public issue. Instead, it remains a niche concern with restricted social and political traction, far removed from the profound impact it has on the lives of millions in the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro.

Título: Tempos e espaços de um negócio familiar: ganhando a vida sem trabalhar para os outros Autor: Cruz Junior, Brauner Geraldo Primeiro orientador: Motta, Eugênia de Souza Mello Guimarães Abstract: This dissertation analyzes a family-run food stand ("churrasquinho") located in the “favela da Maré, in Rio de Janeiro, as a starting point for understanding the production of social relations and economic dynamics in peripheral urban territories. The research is based on an ethnography grounded in the everyday life of this business, closely following its owners - Jean, Carla, and Alice - and its regular patrons, many of whom are also friends, relatives, and neighbors. Particular attention is given to how time and space are experienced and managed by these actors. Based on fieldwork, the thesis argues that the churrasquinho is not merely an economic enterprise but an extension of the household and a space for the production of sociability. It serves as a structuring instance for social ties, mediating moral distinctions and practical strategies. The analysis explores how the native category of “working for others” is mobilized by research participants as part of their life strategies, revealing frameworks that cannot be fully captured by rigid dichotomies such as informal/formal or wage labor/entrepreneurship. The thesis also emphasizes the business itself as a privileged locus of social analysis, in the same way that houses are treated in anthropological literature: as spaces where family projects and life plans are formulated and enacted. The concept of “homebusiness” is proposed to understand such enterprises as integral to domestic and community configurations. Time management, resource circulation, task distribution, and the activation of support networks are shaped by local moralities, gendered roles, and future-oriented expectations, such as concerns with the daughter’s education and the pursuit of dignity in chosen work. Finally, the study proposes that the churrasquinho, as a family business, should be understood as a mode of producing and negotiating everyday life in urban peripheries, functioning simultaneously as a space of labor, leisure, care, and belonging. This research contributes to the debate on popular economies by showing how family-based enterprises act as devices that connect material and symbolic values and enable the reproduction of livelihood strategies among subordinate social groups.

Título: Crítica doutrinária: teatro e política nas crônicas de Décio de Almeida Prado Autor: Santos, Kelly Pedroza Primeiro orientador: Araújo, Ricardo Benzaquen de Abstract: This thesis analyses Decio de Almeida Prado’s theatrical reviews, published on Clima magazine (1941-1944) and three books: Apresentação do teatro brasileiro moderno (1956), Teatro em progresso (1964) and Exercício findo (1987). These books consist of reviews written for O Estado de São Paulo newspaper and later selected for publishing by Decio himself. The present work makes efforts towards producing a metacriticism, aimed at the comprehension of Decio de Almeida Prado’s theoretical and aesthetical guidelines. The critic shows a specific concept of theatrical modernization, based at first on rejecting Brazilian theatrical past and adopting the French modern aesthetical tendencies whose main references are Jacques Copeau and Louis Jouvet. One shows the gap between the modernization model advocated by Decio de Almeida Prado and its effective implementation on the Brazilian cultural environment. This gap is explained in the critic’s writings through several factors: the fragile state of Brazilian playwriting, the existence of other tendencies competing with Frech “literary theatre” – such as expressionism and, later, epic theatre –, and the survival of the so-called “old theatre”. Later on, however, one perceives an interpretation on Decio’s writings that softens the opposition between Brazil’s “old” and modern theatre. This perspective sheds light on the elements leading Decio de Almeida Prado to assume a new position in regards to Brazilian “old theatre” from the 1960s on, an effort of recovering these theatrical practices and understanding its inner assumptions. This new position, of which the first signs appear during the last years of Decio’s activity as a reviewer, will become the main characteristic of his historical-academic phase to follow.

Título: Um Mussolini Moreno: conciliação entre mestiçagem e autoritarismo no Estado Novo Autor: Dias, Weslley Luiz de Azevedo Primeiro orientador: Campos, Luiz Augusto de Souza de Carneiro de Abstract: The argument of the thesis is about how the Estado Novo, through the official speech, incorporated a hybridist understanding of national identity to its authoritarian nationalist model of the regime. For this, we will deal with two main sources: Cultura Política, the Department of Press and Propaganda (DIP) magazine, and the speeches of President Getúlio Vargas. The main objective will be to analyze how this vocabulary was present in the discursive strategy of the regime through these two platforms. Individuals such as Lourival Fontes (head of DIP) and Almir de Andrade (Editor of Cultura Política) were important mediators between the rhetoric adopted by the regime and the hybridist conception of nation present in Gilberto Freyre. Our results indicate that this official speech showed a great ambiguity regarding the conciliation between authoritarianism and the ethnic amalgamation of Nation. In addition, we demonstrated that there was a strong bond between what the president said and the arguments in the magazine.
