Título: “A questão do outro” na América portuguesa: experiências compartilhadas e mediações culturais no contexto de catequese na Capitania de Pernambuco (1549-1592) Autor: ALMEIDA, Diego Luiz Ribeiro de Primeiro orientador: LEITE, Bruno Martins Boto Abstract: This work analyzes the catechetical strategies used by the Jesuits in the conversion of indigenous people in the Captaincy of Pernambuco between 1549 and 1592, seeking to understand catechetical strategies in the colonial context. Catechesis, the central theme of the research, involves conflicts and adaptations, highlighting the complexity of the relationships between indigenous people, missionaries, and colonists, all endowed with their own interests and forms of agency. In the first chapter, the research begins with a theoretical and historiographical discussion that problematizes traditional interpretations of catechesis and settlements, proposing to understand them beyond dichotomous readings. In this sense, concepts such as missionary mediation and intermediaries are mobilized, in addition to dialogue with micro-history, allowing the analysis of settlements as spaces of negotiation, conflict, and adaptation. In the following chapter, the work examines the activities of the Society of Jesus in Portuguese America, highlighting the role of epistolary practice, the missionary projects formulated within the context of the General Government, and the debates held between figures such as Manuel da Nóbrega and Quirício Caxa. The third chapter of the research is dedicated to the establishment and expansion of Jesuit settlements in the State of Brazil, with special attention to the Captaincy of Pernambuco. Through the use of historical cartography, the work analyzes the formation and distribution of these spaces throughout the second half of the 16th century, highlighting their capillarity and regional specificities. In this context, the different indigenous groups, the consolidation of the Jesuit presence, and the relationships between mission, economy, and social organization are discussed. In the last chapter, the analysis focuses on the epistolary narrative as a privileged source for understanding the functioning of the mission. Based on Jesuit letters, the main catechetical strategies can be identified, such as initial persuasion, the incorporation of indigenous cultural elements, and, later, the adoption of practices based on discipline and the control of consciences. These sources reveal not only the missionary methods but also the limits of conversion and the tensions inherent in the catechetical process.

Título: Indígenas Enxu na Serra do Araripe: territorialização e aldeamento (séc. XVII-XVIII) Autor: NASCIMENTO, José Ítalo dos Santos Primeiro orientador: DANTAS, Mariana Albuquerque Abstract: This dissertation examines the processes of territorialization and the establishment of Indigenous mission settlements (aldeamentos) in the Araripe Highlands, a borderland region shared by the present-day states of Pernambuco, Ceará, and Piauí, from the late seventeenth century to the first half of the eighteenth century, with a particular focus on the trajectory of the Ançu/Enxu Indigenous people. The study aims to understand how these groups were incorporated into the dynamics of Portuguese colonial expansion in the Northern Captaincies, especially through their movements between the São Francisco River and the Araripe Highlands, their experiences within mission settlements, and the relationships they established with missionaries, colonial authorities, and settler families. Situated within the context of the War of the Barbarians (1687–1720), the research examines the transformations brought about by colonial expansion into Indigenous territories, considering the aldeamentos as spaces of reorganization, negotiation, and colonial control. Particular attention is given to the missionary activities of Bernardo de Nantes and Apolinário de Brescia, the organization of Pernambuco’s peripheral mission settlements, the intervention of the Mesa da Consciência e Ordens based on documentation from 1739, and the territorial expansion initially promoted by the Garcia d’Ávila family of the Casa da Torre of Bahia and later by the Alencarino clan. To develop this analysis, the study draws on a range of colonial sources, including the Informação Geral da Capitania de Pernambuco (1749), as well as records produced in later periods, such as the accounts of the naturalist Freire Alemão (1859–1861) and works of regional memorial literature. By cross-referencing these sources, the research demonstrates that the Enxu presence in the Araripe Highlands was not limited to an isolated episode but formed part of a broader network of relationships involving different Indigenous peoples, missionaries, colonial authorities, and territorial settler groups. The dissertation thus highlights the Araripe Highlands as a relational space shaped by mobility, conflict, and negotiation.

Título: Bulgária em rebelião: a revolta camponesa de Ivaylo da idade média à contemporaneidade Autor: QUEIROGA, Vinícius Oliveira de Primeiro orientador: SILVA, Uiran Gebara da Abstract: In 1277, a revolt against the throne of that kingdom occurred in Bulgaria. Peasants, led by a pig farmer called “Ivaylo”, mobilized to face this enemy, considering him incapable of facing foreign invaders, in which the peasants also fought. After centuries, there remains, as a legacy, an entire international bibliography, although not Brazilian, that addresses the historical event, and this study selects one of them, the (self-styled) Marxist one, and makes an interpretative effort between what would be propaganda and what would be scientific, that is, it follows scientific standards of rigor and methodology. In this reading, observations are made on the political and economic structure of the Bulgarian kingdom in its details, regarding political, economic, religious and military institutions, comparing them with both Western and Byzantine institutions and also analyzing the level and the essence of the presence of Bulgarian empresses in the sources on the discussed section, with regard to the way in which these empresses acted in historiography in the chronological section covered in this work.

Título: Justiça, violência e normas sociais na vila de Água Branca, Sertão alagoano (1871-1890) Autor: ARAÚJO, Marília Lima de Primeiro orientador: ABRIL, Victor Hugo Abstract: This is a research study on the uses of justice and violence in a rural village called Água Branca, located in the province of Alagoas, in the Sertão do São Francisco region, during the 1870s and 1880s. By utilizing crime summaries, preserved in the archives of the Miguel Arcanjo de Siqueira Torres Courthouse, the periodical Jornal do Penedo, and the reports from the presidents of the province of Alagoas, crimes are analyzed from a social history perspective. The study prioritizes a micro-view of the sources, where individuals appear as central characters in the conflicts involving the village's residents. In this sense, the study seeks to understand the consolidation of the judiciary power in Água Branca throughout the 19th century. It investigates the form of conflict resolution through the use of violence, gathering information on the crimes that occurred in the parish, who the defendants and victims were, and the motivations for the crimes. It explores the relationship between norms and moral values and the occurrence of crimes, discussing violence considered justified in the face of affronts to male honor. Finally, it addresses the differences in behaviors between men and women as a catalyst for conflicts in the patriarchal sertaneja society, and the possibilities for complaints made by women to be accepted by the judiciary and for their aggressors to be punished in cases of assault and sexual crimes.
