Título: Entre agulhas, punhais e câmeras: cangaceiras protagonistas no cinema (1976 – 2017) Autor(es): Souza, Maria Beatriz Rodrigues Abstract: The theme of cangaço found fertile ground in cinematic productions. The saga of Lampião and his mens entered the realm of the seventh art, resulting in roughly fifty films identified throughout the 20th century. However, only a few works have sought to portray the role of women cangaceiras. For this reason, this study examines how the audiovisual productions A Mulher no Cangaço (1976, by Hermano Penna), A Musa do Cangaço (1982, by José Umberto Dias), and Entre Irmãs (2017, by Breno Silveira) approached the protagonism of these female bandits. Two documentaries and one feature film were selected, respectively.The study investigates how these productions mobilized the memories and testimonies of women who took part in the cangaço. In dialogue with the history of the backlands (sertões), gender studies, and social discourse analysis, cinema emerges as a privileged space for the surfacing of marginalized memories, enabling these figures to be repositioned as protagonists of their own narratives. By revisiting the history of cangaço from a female perspective, elements once considered secondary could be inscribed as fundamental parts of this experience. This approach was made possible through the theoretical framework employed, which shed light on the subject. Accordingly, the analysis intersects gender as a category of analysis (Scott, 1995), the history of women (Perrot, 2007), subterranean memories (Pollak, 1989), and the testimonial turn in historical knowledge (Seligmann-Silva, 2022). Based on these reflections, it also became essential to consider the sertão and the discourses surrounding Brazil’s Northeast region (Albuquerque Jr., 1999, 2008, 2013; Araújo Sá, 2011, 2020, 2023). Methodologically, the study primarily focused on examining testimonies, dialogues, and scenes through the principles and procedures of social discourse analysis (Orlandi, 2002, 2007), alongside contributions from historiography on banditry. In the audiovisual productions, the main objective was to identify the agency and protagonism of women cangaceiras. The investigation further demonstrates how the testimonies of surviving participants, recorded in the documentaries, resonated in contemporary fiction, highlighting tensions between oppression and freedom, violence and resistance.

Título: Consolidação do American Way pelo poder cultural nos Estados Unidos (1941-1955) Autor(es): Almeida, Igor Trindade de Abstract: In the 19th century and early 20th century, the United States witnessed a clear rupture in the hegemony of thought that supported both political and economic power. This change was caused by the accumulation of inconsistencies in what was then known as the “American Way of Life,” or simply the “American Way.” Fearful of the system’s rupture, a group defending Anglo-Saxonism, a conservative policy of preserving American ideals, assumed political power, which, through “Acts” (laws) and the support of the economic elites, created what became known as the new “American Way of Life,” without, however, regaining popular support. This research seeks to understand how cultural power allowed the consolidation of the new ideological system. To this end, the codependency relationship between the fields of economic, political and, especially, cultural power was studied, which, according to Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002), exerts a symbolic, invisible power of cohesion and social control. The study observed the formation of the new American middle class, the “White Collars”, who were chosen to be the official model of the “American Dream”, the ultimate achievement of life in the United States. To achieve temporal cohesion and better conduct of the theme, we sought to investigate the producer and artist Walt Disney (1901-1966), his biographical construction in the search to become an individual symbol of success of the new ideology (Self-Made Man), as well as his effect as an agent of cultural power. Although the processes of rupture and reconstruction began at the end of the 19th century, we adopted the time frame from 1941 to 1955, starting with the strikes motivated by ideological dissociation and the first attempts by political power to create an alliance between the other powers, for the creation of Disneyland in the 1950s, the materialization of the American dream. To this end, a broad range of sources was used, from animations produced by Walt Disney, to a set of letters, newspaper materials and official FBI reports, linking this to an in-depth study of the North American jurisdiction relevant to the topic, these analyzed with the support of thinkers such as John Dewey (1859-1952), Jean Baudrillard (1929-2007), and the aforementioned Pierre Bourdieu.

Título: Tecendo um campo: os estudos sobre a branquitude no Brasil (2017-2024) Autor(es): Leite, Lhais Isla Dantas Abstract: This work addresses national productions on whiteness produced between 2017 and 2024, with the main focus of analysis being historiographical works. Thus, the objective is to present and discuss how the study of whiteness in Brazil has been occurring in recent years. To this end, we analyzed dissertations and theses defended in postgraduate programs in History at Brazilian universities during the aforementioned period. From this procedure, we traced how researchers are using the theme, as well as understanding how the theme is being applied to the field of History. We also sought to interview the main researchers in the field, in order to reconstruct the current scenario of production. For this purpose, we interviewed the researchers: Lia Vainer Schucman, Lilia M. Schwarcz, Lourenço Cardoso, Marcus Vinicius de Freitas Rosa, and Willian Luiz da Conceição. We conclude that the field is expanding, acquiring more space and credibility within the university. Furthermore, within the historiographical field, interest in the topic is recent and belated, and we can point to a conservatism within the field, as well as discomfort and tension arising from the advancement of research on whiteness within historiography.

Título: Memoração e negritude LGBTQIAPN+: o FASC como objeto de representação e precepção digital da cultura afrosergipana (2017-2025) Autor(es): Santos, Luan Felipe Silva dos Abstract: This study aims to understand the construction and perpetuation of the social imaginary, memory, and cultural identity of the Black LGBTQIAP+ community in Sergipe, with a focus on the Festival of Arts of São Cristóvão (FASC). The research analyzes how the festival, created in 1972, has served as a space of cultural resistance and affirmation of Afro-Sergipano identity, particularly between 2017 and 2025. By examining posts and interactions on FASC’s official social media platforms, as well as the cultural practices presented during the event, the study identifies representations of Black culture and the dialogues between local and national narratives. The methodology combines netnography (Kozinets, 2015) and content analysis of the festival’s social media, along with related academic texts. The dissertation engages with the concepts of memory (Adichie, 2008, 2017, 2019), social representations (Moscovici, 2003), and decoloniality (Quijano, 2005; Mignolo, 2011), in addition to key authors such as Carneiro (2003), Hall (2003), Ribeiro (2017), Almeida (2019), and Pinheiro (2023), to analyze how the festival has positioned itself as a space of visibility for Afro-Brazilian culture, while simultaneously confronting challenges related to the exoticization and stereotyping of AfroSergipano cultural practices. The findings indicate that, despite significant achievements, FASC still faces issues of exclusion and invisibility in curatorial processes concerning the records of the Black LGBTQIAP+ community. The analysis also reveals how cultural resistance is articulated through performances, narratives, and the appropriation of Afro-Brazilian memories, which are re-signified in digital interactions and organizational practices. Thus, the dissertation contributes to understanding the role of FASC in the construction of memory, identity, and Black cultural resistance in Sergipe, while also fostering a critical reflection on the contradictions within the state’s cultural landscape.
