Título: Cristovão Colombo na música vocal entre os séculos XVII e XX: construção, monumentalização e desconstrução de um mito Autor: Claussen, Fabrício Fernandes Primeiro orientador: Lemos, Maya Suemi Abstract: This study investigates the construction and transformation of the figure of Christopher Columbus over five centuries, with an emphasis on vocal music. The “discovery of America” in 1492 is not presented as an objective fact, but as an ideological and symbolic construct shaped by the European perspective. From this point of view, Columbus’s voyage came to be narrated as a civilizational milestone, associated with foundational myths such as the Christian mission and imperial expansion. Over time, however, his figure has been reinterpreted through various artistic forms and critical discourses, especially in light of social, political, and cultural transformations. Music, in particular, has played a crucial role in reimagining the navigator—whether in glorifying his image or in critiquing his actions. As the foundation for this research, the following works were selected: the opera Il Colombo overo l'India scoperta by Bernardo Pasquini, the cantata Kolumbus oder die Entdeckung von Amerika by Wilhelm Friedrich Ernst Bach, the symphonic vocal poem Colombo by Antônio Carlos Gomes, and the opera The Voyage by Philip Glass. The study also analyzes how art has both reflected and influenced historical narratives, demonstrating that vocal music not only represented but also contributed to the revision and reinvention of the historical memory of Columbus. The research highlights how the selected musical representations evolved from glorification to critique, mirroring the cultural and ideological transformations of different periods Instituição: Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro Tipo do documento: Tese

Título: Allí muestre la uenida del señor al juycio, el cielo y el mundo y las penas del ynfierno: os Novissimos na região dos Andes dos séculos XVI, XVII e XVIII Autor: Santos, Letícia Roberto dos Primeiro orientador: Quírico, Tamara Carneiro Abstract: The theme of the Novissimos (Last Things), widely disseminated in Europe during the Late Middle Ages, acquired significant popularity in the Americas during the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, particularly in the Andean region. This study is dedicated to analyzing the processes of transculturation and hybridity present in Catholic spaces adorned with representations of the Novissimos in the Andean zone, focusing on the series of Postrimerías in the church of Carabuco, Bolivia. This iconographic series, in addition to addressing the traditional themes associated with the Novíssimos — Paradise, Purgatory, Judgment, and Hell — also played a crucial role in the Christianization of a local indigenous myth, reinterpreting pre-Hispanic narratives through a Christian lens. The research investigates how the medieval theme of the Novíssimos was recontextualized within the framework of Spanish colonization, serving as a tool for evangelization and the Westernization of native populations. Through the analysis of the Carabuco series, the study seeks to understand how Christian images and narratives were adapted to engage with local beliefs and traditions, resulting in a phenomenon of religious and cultural syncretism. This work contributes to the understanding of the evangelization strategies employed by the Catholic Church during the colonial period, as well as to the discussion on the persistence and transformation of medieval elements in extra-European contexts. By exploring the interactions between European and indigenous traditions, the research reveals how Christian art functioned as a means of communication and control, while simultaneously allowing for the survival of aspects of native cultures. Thus, the Postrimerías series of Carabuco emerges as a unique testament to the complex cultural and religious dynamics that shaped the Andean zone during colonization; El tema de los Novísimos (Postrimerías), ampliamente difundido en Europa durante la Baja Edad Media, alcanzó una notable popularidad en las Américas durante los siglos XVI, XVII y XVIII, especialmente en la región andina. Este estudio se dedica a analizar los procesos de transculturación y hibridismo presentes en espacios católicos decorados con representaciones de los Novísimos en la región andina, tomando como eje central la serie de Postrimerías de la iglesia de Carabuco, en Bolivia. Esta serie iconográfica, además de abordar los temas tradicionales asociados a las Postrimerías —Paraíso, Purgatorio, Juicio e Infierno—, también desempeñó un papel crucial en la cristianización de un mito indígena local, reinterpretando narrativas prehispánicas desde una óptica cristiana. La investigación examina cómo el tema medieval de los Novísimos fue resignificado en el contexto de la colonización española, sirviendo como herramienta de evangelización y occidentalización de las poblaciones nativas. A través del análisis de la serie de Carabuco, se busca comprender cómo las imágenes y narrativas cristianas fueron adaptadas para dialogar con las creencias y tradiciones locales, resultando en un fenómeno de sincretismo religioso y cultural. Este trabajo contribuye a la comprensión de las estrategias de evangelización empleadas por la Iglesia Católica durante el período colonial, así como a la discusión sobre la permanencia y transformación de elementos medievales en contextos extraeuropeos. Al explorar las interacciones entre tradiciones europeas e indígenas, la investigación revela cómo el arte cristiano funcionó como un medio de comunicación y control, al mismo tiempo que permitía la supervivencia de aspectos de las culturas nativas. Así, la serie de Postrimerías de Carabuco emerge como un testimonio singular de las complejas dinámicas culturales y religiosas que moldearon la región andina durante la colonización Instituição: Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro Tipo do documento: Tese

Título: O espírito do lugar: o Vaticano na XVI Bienal de Arquitetura de Veneza Autor: Silva, Richard Gomes da Primeiro orientador: Quírico, Tamara Abstract: This dissertation aims to analyze the symbolic aspects around the conception of contemporary sacred architecture, taking as an object of study 11 architectural models exposed by the Vatican at the XVI Architecture Biennale held in Venice in 2018. The research starts from the premise that, even in the absence of images and ornaments, these architectures seek to express narratives that relate to the liturgy and Christian art as a whole Instituição: Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro Tipo do documento: Tese

Título: Anastácia e suas agências: devoção e circulação de imagens e memórias Autor: Baptista, Bernardo Wagner Marques Primeiro orientador: Castro, Maurício Barros de Abstract: This research aimed to investigate the circulation of images and narratives conceived by religious organizations associated with the Afro-descendant population. It sought to trace the circulation of images of Anastácia, a figure who mobilizes devotions and memories across diverse cultural contexts, examining how her representation was shaped, disseminated, and reinterpreted over time, as well as the impacts of these transformations on collective memories. The devotion to Anastácia emerged in the Church of Nossa Senhora do Rosário e São Benedito dos Homens Pretos in Rio de Janeiro. This brotherhood played a significant role in the urban, political, and cultural scenario of the city, while also serving as a center for socialization, solidarity, and charity among Black individuals, particularly between the 18th and 20th centuries. Following the prohibition of her veneration in spaces affiliated with the Catholic Church, her devotion—and consequently her visual representations—began to circulate and foster new relationships. Through analyses of these representations in museums, temples, shrines, festivals, popular expressions, art circuits, and other spaces, this study seeks to understand how these images become vehicles for narratives, based on their presentation and reception. From this perspective, the study explores the dynamics of circulation and transformation of images, emphasizing the significance of narrative constructions in the realm of devotions and the memory of slavery Instituição: Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro Tipo do documento: Tese
