O Magrebe central, cuja palavra de origem árabe e significa “onde o Sol se põe”, correspondia, ao final do século XIX, a um território que englobava a Tunísia, a Argélia e o Marrocos (STORA, 2004). Foi uma região fecunda em temas de inspiração, e ao final do Oitocentos, muitos artistas Europeus e Americanos consideravam uma estadia no Magrebe tão indispensável quanto uma permanência de estudos na Itália, destino eleito por inúmeros pintores para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas de renovação do uso da luz e da gama cromática. O Magrebe não só permitia novas possibilidades no uso da cor e de luz, mas possuía a vantagem de permitir uma exploração exótica, de ser uma terra oriental cheia de mistério e misticismo. O fascínio despertado pelo Magrebe conquistou alguns pintores brasileiros, como Arsênio Cintra da Silva, Pedro Américo, ou que aqui atuaram, como Johann Georg Grimm. O artigo busca contextualizar qual foi a importância do Magrebe no panorama mais amplo do Orientalismo Ocidental, bem como apresenta alguns dados, se não inéditos, bem pouco conhecidos sobre a produção Orientalista de Georg Grimm, um pintor que, embora pouco estudado, possui um papel relevo no cenário das artes do Rio de Janeiro, nos conturbados anos de 1880.Palavras-chave: Orientalismo; Magrebe; Johann Georg Grimm; Pintura do século XIX.Abstract The central Maghreb, a word of Arabic origin that means “where the sun sets”, corresponded, at the end of the 19th century, to a territory that included Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco (STORA, 2004). It was a fruitful region in terms of inspiration, and at the end of the 19th century, many European and American artists considered a stay in the Maghreb as indispensable as a stay in Italy, a destination chosen by countless painters for the development of research to renew the use of light and chromatic range. The Maghreb not only allowed new possibilities in the use of color and light, but had the advantage of allowing an exotic exploration, of being an oriental land full of mystery and mysticism. The fascination aroused by the Maghreb conquered some Brazilian painters, like Arsênio Cintra da Silva, Pedro Américo, or who worked here, like Georg Grimm. The article seeks to contextualize the importance of the Maghreb in the wider panorama of Western Orientalism, as well as presenting some data, if not unpublished, little known about the Orientalist production of Georg Grimm, a painter who, although little studied, has a role the art scene in Rio de Janeiro, in the troubled 1880s.Keywords: Orientalism; Maghreb; Johann Georg Grimm; 19th century painting.

Abstract “The music of sorcery in Brazil” was given as a lecture by Mário de Andrade to the Brazilian Music Association (Associação Brasileira de Música), in Rio de Janeiro, in 1933. The author never managed to complete its revision for publication. This was undertaken by Oneyda Alvarenga, who published the text of the lecture and a series of related documents in Volume XIII - Música de Feitiçaria no Brasil-of the Complete Works of Mário de Andrade (Editora Itatiaia/Instituto Nacional do Livro, 1983, p.23-70). The author is in search for the role of music, with its distinctive rhythms and melodic form, in the mystical trance of Afro-Brazilian religions. The text combines the flavour of his direct research experience in the catimbó of the Brazilian Northeast; his erudite bibliographical studies that were strongly influenced by evolutionary and diffusionist anthropology at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the twentieth; and an analysis of the music of macumba in the Rio de Janeiro around the 1930s as found in the recordings that Andrade so much enjoyed collecting and listening to.

The 19Th Century

In the years before the 19th century, the options for indoor lighting were limited and sometimes expensive. Yet artisans such as lacemakers, cobblers, and jewelers needed good lighting for their precise and delicate work. But not being very well paid, they needed a solution that would allow as many of them as possible to share the expense of lighting for work. How did they manage after the sun went down, especially in northern countries with long periods of winter darkness? Can the solutions they came up with be applied to present-day problems?

The collection of Indian sculpture in the Victoria and Albert Museum includes a fine relief from Koṇārka. It is about 2 feet 6¾ inches (78·1 cm.) in height and depicts King Narasiṁha I (a.d. 1238–64), the founder of the celebrated Sun temple at Koṇārka in Orissa, sitting at the feet of his spiritual preceptor (Plate I). Acquired in the 19th century, this relief, which is carved in carboniferous shale, was long believed to be Nepalese. Havell, writing in 1911, notes that this sculpture is “said to have come from Nepal. Its date is uncertain. It appears to represent a Vaishnava adaptation of some old Buddhist jātaka story.” Some years later it was realized that the style of this sculpture belonged to that of the Eastern Ganga of the 13th century a.d., and that it represented the conversion of a kṣatriya noble to the worship of Viṣṇu by a Vaiṣṇava priest. The figure of the warrior sitting at the feet of the priest was identified as that of Narasimha I receiving spiritual instruction from his guru. This relief is one of a number showing scenes from the life of Narasimha which come from the great Koṇārka temple dedicated by him to the sun-god Sūrya. Of these, the panel already mentioned and another in New Delhi throw an interesting light on Narasiṃha's religious beliefs.

A study has been carried out to determine whether there has been a real increase in violent crime in Victoria or whether the public has been affected by the greater prominence given to violence in the mass media. The rates of violent crime, based on “persons taken into custody or proceeded against” were highest in the seventies and eighties of the 19th century. They, then, showed a steady decline until the mid thirties of the 20th century. Since the fifties, there has been an increase, but, with the exception of assault causing grievous bodily harm, they are still much lower than they were 100 years ago. The content analysis of the four main dailies ( The Age, The Argus, the Herald and the Sun) has shown an increasing coverage of violent crime both in the number, and in the size of articles devoted to it. The authors discuss the reasons for and possible effects of this phenomenon.

A partir do começo do século 19, o Brasil abrigou fundições tipográficas habilitadas a manufaturar ou comercializar todo tipo de material utilizado nas oficinas tipográficas, entre elas encontra-se a Fundição de Typos Henrique Rosa, do Rio de Janeiro, e Funtimod – Fundição de Tipos Modernos, de São Paulo. Recentemente, as duas autoras deste artigo desenvolveram pesquisas com foco na firma carioca. Enquanto Edna Lucia Cunha Lima estava interessada na narrativa da família Rosa, Isabella Ribeiro Aragão intencionava responder questões comerciais, levantadas durante sua pesquisa doutoral sobre a Funtimod. Este artigo, portanto, visa contribuir com a história da tipografia no Brasil por meio da relação dos resultados dos estudos realizados, respectivamente, no Rio de Janeiro e Recife.*****Since the beginning of the 19th century, Brazil has housed type foundries qualified to manufacture or commercialize all types of material used at printing workshops, among them the Fundição de Typos Henrique Rosa, from Rio de Janeiro, and Funtimod – Fundição de Tipos Modernos, from São Paulo. Recently, the two authors of this paper have developed researches with interest in the carioca firm. While Edna Lucia Cunha Lima was interested in the story of the Rosa family, Isabella Ribeiro Aragão intended to answer commercial questions raised during her doctoral research on Funtimod. This paper, therefore, aims to contribute to the history of typography in Brazil by the results of the studies carried out, respectively, in Rio de Janeiro and Recife.

O estudo da situação de decadência em que se encontrava a vida religiosa tradicional no Brasil em meados do século XIX fornece subsídios para se compreender a dinâmica da própria vida religiosa, ao mesmo tempo em que nos ajuda a entender um momento importante da relação Igreja-Estado. No presente artigo debruçamo-nos sobre o tema, a partir da ótica de um dos personagens mais representativos deste momento histórico, frei Francisco do Monte Alverne. Franciscano do Convento de Santo Antônio do Rio de Janeiro, homem culto, um dos mais famosos pregadores imperiais, com bom trânsito entre as personalidades da corte, Monte Alverne nos legou um Projeto de Reforma, cuja análise permite conhecer a situação da vida religiosa a partir da trajetória e do ponto de vista de um personagem que, de certa forma, é a própria personificação deste momento de crise.Abstract: The study of the decadent condition in which the traditional religious life found itself in the middle of the 19th century provides us with the necessary information to understand the dynamics of religious life itself; it also helps us to understand an important moment of the relationship between the Church and the State. In this present article we deal with this subject from the perspective of one of the most representative characters of that historical moment, Friar Francisco de Monte Alverne. A Franciscan from the St. Anthony Convent in Rio de Janeiro, Monte Alverne was not only a cultured man but also one of the best known preachers of the Empire and had easy access to the most important courtiers. The analysis of his Reform Project enables us to find out about the situation of the religious life at that time through the trajectory and the opinions of someone who was, to a certain extent, the very personification of that moment of crisis.

In his Astronomie populaire, Camille Flammarion points out that the heliocentric path of the Moon, which, according to him, has generally been represented as a sinuous curve, is actually concave everywhere towards the Sun. Flammarion’s observation is the starting point of this study which goes backwards in time, via often misinformed authors, to the mathematician who first established this counterintuitive property by means of a purely geometrical proof. The story also includes a heated debate between readers of a British periodical. Beginning in France at the end of the 19th century, the journey finishes in Scotland in the first half of the previous century.

O perá­odo delimitado pela transmigração da Famá­lia Real Portuguesa e o processo de independência, construção e consolidação do Estado Brasileiro no segundo quartil do século XIX foi marcado por grande efervescência polá­tica, social e cultural. As indefinições dos diversos grupos sociais que aqui se encontraram a partir de 1808 encontraram eco na ausência de um projeto único de nação, na estranheza das populações quanto as formas de governo e sociedade aqui encontrada e desejada. Parte dessa efervescência se deu no esforço de construir uma civilização adequada aos padrões vigentes, oscilando em relação ao lugar das ideias importadas ou nacionais. Diversos intelectuais ”“ de diferentes estratos sociais ”“ buscaram um projeto de nação e as formas de como implementá-lo. Parte desse esforço pode ser visto em parte das vidas de Pierre (Seignot) Plancher e José Francisco Xavier Sigaud e na publicação da coleção Bibliotheca Constitucional do Cidadão Brasileiro entre os anos de 1831 e 1832 que marca o retorno de Plancher a França e ainda a interrupção das atividades editoriais de Sigaud.

The uncertainties of the various social groups reunited here from 1808 on echoed in the absence of a single national project as much as in the discomfort of these people about the forms of government and society found and wanted here. Part of this movement happened by the effort to build a civilization suited to the current standards, hovering about the place of imported or domestic ideas. Several scholars - from different social origins and strata - sought a national project and ways to implement it. Part of this effort can be seen in the lives of Pierre (Seignot) Plancher and José Francisco Xavier Sigaud and in the publication of the Bibliotheca Constitucional do Cidadão Brasileiro collection between 1831 and 1832, which marks Plancher”™s return to France and the interruption of Sigaud”™s editorial activities.
