“…Six of them (21%) where traveler writers who made observations about plants in their publications, such as Baroness E. de Langsdorff (1812–1889), who came to Brazil in 1842 with the aim of dealing with the marriage of Prince of Joinville and Princess Francisca, Brazilian Emperor D. Pedro I’s sister; Langsdorff published her observations on landscapes and plants in a journal [ 56 ]. Teresa von Bayern, Princess of Bayern (1850–1925) [ 100 ] and Maria Graham (1785–1842) [ 80 ] collected plants that were included in Flora Brasiliensis of the German naturalist Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius [ 101 ].…”

Background This work reunites many women naturalists who registered knowledge about native flora in scientific expeditions around the globe between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. Since male naturalists are more recognized in this period of time, we aimed to list female naturalists that published plant descriptions and observations, focusing on the work of Maria Sibylla Merian and to analyze her trajectory as an example to discuss the patterns of the suppression of women scientists. A second aim was to inventory the useful plants described in Maria Sibylla’s Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium and find pharmacological evidence about the traditional uses described for those plants cited as medicinal and toxic. Methods A survey of female naturalists was carried out by searching information in Pubmed, Scielo, Google Scholar and Virtual Health Library. Once Maria Sibylla published her book Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium by her own, without male co-authors, and also this book is one of the only to have text and illustrations altogether and there are reports indicating information on useful plants in this work, she and her book were chosen as subject of this research. All the information was tabulated by dividing the plants into food, medicinal, toxic, aromatic or other uses. Finally, with the combinations of the scientific name of medicinal and toxic plants with information about their popular uses, a search was carried out in databases in order to indicate current pharmacological studies that reported evidences about the traditional uses described. Results We found 28 women naturalists who participated in scientific expeditions or trips, or in a curiosity cabinet, or who were collectors of Natural History between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. All these women illustrated botanical species and/or recorded their everyday or medicinal use or reported their observations in the form of a published work, letters or diaries. Also, the trajectory of Maria Sibylla Merian revealed that her scientific relevance has been neglected from the eighteenth century by mechanisms of suppression, most of the time by male depreciation, which can be seen as a pattern for suppression of women in science. However, Maria Sibyllas’ contributions have been valued again in the twenty-first century. In Maria Sibylla’s work, 54 plants were identified, 26 of them used for food, 4 of them aromatic, 8 medicinal, 4 toxic and 9 other uses. Conclusion This study evidences that there are female naturalists whose work could be an important source for ethnopharmacological studies. Researching about women scientists, talking about them and highlighting the gender bias present in the scientific academy about the way the history of science is told is essential for the construction of a more diverse and richer scientific academy. The traditional use of 7 of 8 medicinal plants and 3 of 4 toxic plants reported was correlated with pharmacological studies, highlighting the importance of this historical record and its potential to direct strategic research in traditional medicine.

“…The 19th century in Brazil is characterized by a vigorous scientific output from naturalist travelers (Souza, 2019) 2 . Since trips sponsored by royal crowns had more of an interest in showcasing the beauty and characteristics of the inhabitants of the new lands and satiating the curiosity of the settlers than in producing scientific knowledge within a methodological rigor, Padoan (2015) argues that after Brazil's independence, there was more freedom of scientific research for travelers.…”

This study has a theoretical and, to some extent, essayistic nature, as it embarks on an investigative and reflective journey that deviates from traditional methodological constraints. The goal is to encourage dialogue between the traditional naturalistic field practices and the field-based lessons in biology education. We use the field practices of traveling naturalists from the sixteenth century as a point of reference, aiming to establish an interpretive time horizon for contemporary field classes. By investigating the attributes and progression of field scientific practices, we can assess their impact on biology field courses and how they differ from them based on the specific circumstances. Making connections between science and teaching can help to break away from the daily grind of pedagogical routines and facilitate the necessary reevaluation of biology field lessons.

“…Gado Bravo permaneceu em exibição em salas do Rio de Janeiro ao longo de Agosto de 1935 (Anónimo 1935, 20). Procurava aproveitar a janela de oportunidade aberta pelo sucesso de A Severa, mas as cinco semanas são indicativas de que a abertura aos filmes portugueses foi efémera, face à preferência do público brasileiro pelas superproduções de Hollywood (Souza 2016). Destes poucos dados de que dispomos, podemos especular que os lucros com o filme ficaram aquém do necessário para cobrir os custos de uma produção que contou com uma equipa internacional alargada, revelando-se insuficientes para permitir a continuidade do projecto cinematográfico de H. da Costa.…”

Um Cinema Nacional de Projecção Internacional: António Lopes Ribeiro nas décadas de 1930 e 1940

António Lopes Ribeiro foi uma figura-chave do cinema português ao longo de mais de três décadas. Neste artigo, sigo o percurso do realizador desde meados dos anos 1920 até finais da II Guerra Mundial, apresentando e analisando os diversos projectos em que se envolveu com o intuito de criar um cinema nacional de projecção internacional. A chegada do sonoro fortaleceu este anseio. Para garantir a sustentabilidade económica da indústria cinematográfica e uma produção contínua Lopes Ribeiro acreditava ser necessário ampliar a distribuição para além dos mercados tradicionais, i.e. as colónias e as comunidades de emigração portuguesa no Brasil. Metodologicamente, esta investigação serve-se de documentos do fundo do Secretariado Nacional da Informação e do Arquivo Salazar, bem como outras fontes primárias, sobretudo hemerográficas, como o Diário de Lisboa e a Animatógrafo, revista especializada em cinema, além de um conjunto de cartas de Lopes Ribeiro dirigidas a António Ferro, provenientes da Fundação Quadros.
