“…In terms of network connections, through the publication of her book and through her professional presence in many parts of Brazil, 13 Floresta began to establish a network connecting people who shared a common interest in topics such as education and the condition of women. Limited by her own time and conditions of communication, she nonetheless managed to create bridges for the discussion of the place of women, as compared to men, specifically in the national context, coming into contact with women's contributions from other countries (Pallares- Burke, 1996). She used literature and the human sciences to place Brazil within the flow of women's global cultural connections emerging at that time.…”

This article offers a perspective on how the proposed conceptualisation of the idea of displacement can be used to analyse processes of knowledge formation and transformation brought about by the movement of intellectuals in modernity. It develops a theoretical framework that considers the acts of cultural mediation and spatial displacement as key aspects for understanding the structures of knowledge and cultural interpretation produced in the formation of modernity. Making use of historical–sociological tools, it examines biographical information along with the intellectual contributions of two female intellectuals, Flora Tristan (1803–1844) and Nísia Floresta (1810–1855). This contribution seeks to re-address the problem how to understand modernity from a decentred point of view. It procdeds by discussing how the history of modernity and its different cultural manifestations should be analysed with greater attention to practices of mediation and theoretical interpretations as developed by lesser-known intellectuals. Thus, the article also contributes to analysing the agency of women intellectuals in the history of modernity.

Gilberto Freyre: The Reassessment Continues

Casa-grande e senzala was published when Freyre, born in 1900, was only thirty-three years old. This precocious book dealt with a vast range of themes and a variety of sources, and its largely non-Brazilian intellectual precursors were beyond the physical and even intellectual range of Freyre's contemporaries, few of whom had traveled to the United States or even to Europe, as Freyre had done in the early and late 1920s. The mere length of the book, as Thomas Skidmore has noted, put off established publishers. Casa-grande probably drew on all the then-published historical writing on Brazil in Portuguese, English, and French, as well as on comparative medical and anatomical studies, travel literature, ethnographies of different parts of Africa, and published colonial reports, plus a sprinkling of quasi-ethnographic personal reminiscence. Already at that age, Freyre, though himself from an urban professional, rather than landholding, family, deployed his trademark patrician assuredness. He invented his own genre-a propensity for ex cathedra pronouncements and self-glorifi cation, combined with an intellectual curiosity at once undisciplined and creative. At fi rst, as the essays in the volume edited by Lund and McNee often remind us, Freyre's book had the effect of an earthquake, though admittedly in a very small intellectual elite. In 2001, Antonio Candido recalled a friend from the left-wing branch of a prominent political family going to the mirror on reading it and musing, "Acho que sou mulato!" (Lund and McNee, 10).

Este trabalho busca tornar visível a representação de mulher oitocentista no jornal O Beija-Flor, Semanário d’Instrução e Recreio, dedicado às mulheres, o qual veio a lume em Lisboa, em 15 de agosto de 1838, e findou no dia 13 de abril de 1842. Para atingir tal objetivo, buscou-se responder às seguintes questões: quais os gêneros literários mais disseminados nesse periódico? Qual é a representação de mulher divulgada pelo discurso masculino no periódico? Ou que tipo de mulher o periódico buscava formar? Este trabalho está inscrito na abordagem teórico-metodológica da Nova História Cultural, a qual tem considerado os usos da escrita como uma fonte bastante significativa para compreender como comunidades ou indivíduos constroem suas representações de mundo e as investem de significação. Com efeito, em O Beija-Flor há a construção de uma identidade feminina através dos escritos dos homens em difundir, entre as leitoras lusitanas, uma determinada leitura específica voltada para sua formação moral e intelectual, na qual não permite liberdade de ação fora do lar e enaltece as virtudes femininas. A boa leitura, por meio do jornal, deveria oferecer ensinamentos úteis não só às leitoras de forma individual, mas, sobretudo àqueles ou àquelas que tivessem contato com elas.
