Revisão de estudos modernos sobre a arquitetura produzida de 1880 a 1930 na cidade do Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

This thesis historically analyzes modernist prejudices about the architecture produced in the city of Rio de Janeiro between 1880 and 1930, aiming at a greater understanding of some of its main virtues. It highlights the importance of a more effective and careful preservation of related properties, as many of them continue to suffer the evils of real estate speculation that has depersonalized Rio's urban space in the name of progress. For this debate, some of the statements made by modern authors are questioned, both with regard to the way in which they see technical and artistic aspects of this architecture and the nomenclatures with which it has been studied. As theoretical support, the philosophical hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer, the iconographic approach of Erwin Panofsky and the critical analysis of modern architecture presented by Kenneth Frampton are used. It is part of the PPGH's Line of Political and Cultural Research. It is based theoretically and methodologically on assumptions of Political History.
