Entre o oficial e o costumeiro: o exercício dos poderes e a espacialização da ruralidade no centro da América do Sul (primeira metade do século XVIII)

Analisamos aqui a relação entre o sistema administrativo português e a formação de ambientes rurais no centro da América do Sul, em territórios que, na primeira metade do século XVIII, integravam o extremo oeste do Estado do Brasil, no âmbito administrativo da capitania de São Paulo. A partir de um enfoque local, examinando correspondências entre autoridades metropolitanas e cartas de sesmarias, este artigo dialoga com a produção histórica sobre a administração portuguesa na América, buscando reconstruir aspectos generalizantes que possam revelar características estruturais da conquista da terra e da formação de ambientes rurais nos territórios portugueses na América.In this article we analyze the relationship between the Portuguese administrative system and formation of rural environments in the center of South America, in territories that in the first half of the eighteenth century comprised the extreme western part of the State of Brazil, under the administrative captaincy of Sao Paulo. From a local focus, analizing letters of metropolitan authorities and documentation of possession of land, this article dialogue with the historical production of the Portuguese administration in America, seeking rebuild generalizing aspects that may prove structural characteristics of the conquest of land and training of rural environments in Portuguese territories in America

Ornamentação do Museu Paulista para o Primeiro Centenário: construção de identidade nacional na década de 1920

In the last decades, several studies have focused Museu Paulista, the collections, the monument building and Afonso de Escragnole Taunay's term, helping for the development of the historical knowledge and the architectural, artistic and cultural patrimony of São Paulo. The museum's ornamentation, organized by Taunay, for the commemorations of the First Centennial of Independence, in 1922, composed essentially of paintings and sculptures, aiming to narrate the colonial period up to the independence, is the focus of studies. The sources allowed us to understand the way the themes were selected, the making and the disposition of the works, in various levels, in the Hall, the Stairway and the Honour Room. The initial years of Taunay's term (1917 - 1945) were propitious for the making of the ornamentation, given the official support and the financial resources obtained, including the ones from the society of São Paulo. The finalization of the ornamentation, nevertheless, took two decades, due to the exiguity of the income, after the Centennial festivities. The ornamentation was granted as concluded by Taunay, with the placing of the last amphora on the Stairway, in 1931, and the publishing of the Guide of the Historical Section of Museu Paulista (Guia da Secção Histórica do Museu Paulista), in 1937. However, the last paintings were made and incorporated in the 1960's
