Judge and Jury in Imperial Brazil, 1808–1871

In nineteenth-century Brazil the power of the courts rivaled that of the central government, bringing to it during its first half century of independence a stability unique in Latin America. Thomas Flory analyzes the Brazilian lower-court system, where the private interests of society and the public interests of the state intersected. Justices of the peace—lay judges elected at the parish level—played a special role in the early years of independence, for the post represented the triumph of Brazilian liberalism’s commitment to localism and decentralization. However, as Flory shows by tracing the social history and performance of parish judges, the institution actually intensified confl...

Independência & Instrução no Brasil

Os processos de instrução, escolarização e formação das populações, assim como a produção de um conjunto de narrativas em disputa sobre histórias e memórias da Independência, em épocas e cenários distintos, constituem os eixos centrais nos quatorze artigos do livro. A primeira parte da obra, intitulada “O processo (in)acabado da emancipação”, apresenta seis trabalhos que instituem um conjunto multifacetado de fontes documentais, com o intuito de pensar os processos inconclusos da Independência e seus rebatimentos na produção de distintas histórias, memórias e projetos de nação. Já na segunda parte, “O dever de (des)lembrar”, oito artigos revisitam momentos históricos distintos dos atos, festejos e produções em torno das comemorações e lembranças da independência política do país. A educação e a formação do povo e da nação são os eixos primordiais dessa coletânea, que contribui, de forma original, para os debates contemporâneos da historiografia nacional.

The Brazilians

Brazil has long been a country in search of its own meaning and mission. Early in their history Brazilians began to puzzle over their surroundings and their relation to them. The eighteenth century produced an entire school of nativistic writers who, with the advent of independence, became fiery nationalists, still pursuing introspective studies of their homeland. Throughout the nineteenth century, the intellectuals of Brazil determined to define their nation, its character, and its aspirations. In this now well-established tradition, José Honório Rodrigues confronts the questions of who and what the Brazilian is, what Brazil stands for, where it has been, and where it is going. This study...

  • Publisher: Birkhäuser

This collection presents significant contributions from an international network project on mathematical cultures, including essays from leading scholars in the history and philosophy of mathematics and mathematics education.​ Mathematics has universal standards of validity. Nevertheless, there are local styles in mathematical research and teaching, and great variation in the place of mathematics in the larger cultures that mathematical practitioners belong to. The reflections on mathematical cultures collected in this book are of interest to mathematicians, philosophers, historians, sociologists, cognitive scientists and mathematics educators.
