Abstract:
This work deals with the cultural representations that recorded the interfaces between gender and modernity in Parahyba do Norte and Pernambuco during the 70s and 80s of the nineteenth century. To think about gender relations mobilized gender theory Joan Scott, which is the non polarization of the sexes; also we make use of the concept of cultural practices and representations of Roger Chartier; and modernity to Gumbrecht, that means in the form of waterfalls, scenario in which multiple ideas and concepts take shape sequentially and Koselleck, that demarcates from changes responsible for reconfiguring the space experience and the horizon of expectation of society from the late eighteenth century onwards. Two factors motivated the construction of the research: the lack of studies in the field of history that addressed the issue in cut period in relation to the Paraíba and the knowledge that the lack of studies of both correlated genres contributes to the permanence of a social culture separates the sexes in rigid boundaries. For the development of research, we have adopted the notion that the formation of gender identities could be acquired also through contact with cultural productions such as the newspaper, support for the circulation of images related to ways of being male and female through related ideas modernity. We also believe that in Paraíba modernity set up selectively. This is because during the study period it had as main characteristic the multiplicity of images that took for reality from the choices made by via press opinion agents. The 70-nineteenth century, a time when the emergence of abolitionism
occur, the Republican Party and the end of patronage in Brazil, offered undoubtedly had
enough content to the media, which also produced the event, including linking them to issues gender and modernity of ideas, as can be seen in the chapters of this dissertation.
