Mag der Konferenzort der UNCED auch recht weit von den Unbilden der Stadt entfernt liegen, Rios Gegensätze lassen sich nicht verbergen. Gewalt, Favelas und Straßenkinder sind ebenso Teil des Rio-Klischees geworden wie Zuckerhut und Copacabana. Auf der erhöhten Schnellstraße, die den Flughafen mit der Südzone verbindet, geraten die Elendsviertel zur vorbeirauschenden Kulisse. Dennoch: Zwischen dem 8. April und dem 10. Mai 1992 registrierte die Polizei 28 leergeräumte Supermärkte und 15 versuchte Plünderungen

O artigo pretende analisar o carnaval das escolas de samba de Uruguaiana na região dos Pampas, e o contexto carnavalesco na fronteira política no extremo sul do Brasil com a Argentina e o Uruguai. O calendário estendido do carnaval de escolas de samba na região promove um tempo ritual da festa peculiar, que possibilita uma intensa relação composta por trocas e as negociações econômicas e socioculturais entre os carnavais dos Pampas e os polos de carnaval do centro do país, sobretudo o carnaval carioca. Dois personagens engajados nestes eventos, a coreógrafa Cristina Fernandez e o intérprete de sambas-enredos Igor Sorriso serão apresentados no texto, uma vez que ambos participam dos fluxos e se somam à importante circulação de mão de obra carnavalesca entre o Rio de Janeiro e os Pampas nos últimos anos.

Auswertung einer Feld-Studie über das spezifische Stadt-Klima in Rio de Janeiro im Hinblick auf die Auswirkungen der Luftverschmutzung auf die Lufttemperatur im Jahresverlauf am Beispiel der Monate Januar und Juni

In Rio de Janeiro, immobility or the share of people with no journeys on any given day is very high (46%). Immobility has a marked geographical dimension in what is a segregated city. But income has only limited explanatory power. The population structure, with high proportions of people who are not in the labour force and who are unemployed, accounts for the high levels of immobility in the poor districts. Although population structure effects prevail, spatial factors such as the severance effect also account for differences between districts. Indeed, Rio de Janeiro features many different types of barriers that affect immobility in several districts and for several population groups. These barriers may be physical or symbolic and perceptive. This study proposes therefore to identify the scope of those barriers as they affect immobility.Our findings from the latest household travel survey available for the metropolitan area of Rio de Janeiro (2003) illustrate the effects of the two types of barrier, physical or symbolic and perceptive, on immobility that more specifically mark out certain categories of individuals such as housewives, the elderly, the unemployed or poor workers. Conversely, the wealthier active population seems to be little affected by the two types of barriers under study. Lastly, our results show that social fragmentation does not lead to greater immobility of favela populations in the heart of rich districts, but on the contrary to increased mobility, especially for the working age population in employment or looking for employment.

Rio de Janeiro in the first half of the nineteenth century had the largest population of urban slaves in the Americas-primary contributors to the atmosphere and vitality of the city. Although most urban historians have ignored these inhabitants of Rio, Mary Karasch's generously illustrated study provides a comprehensive description and analysis of the city's rich Afro-Cariocan culture, including its folklore, its songs, and accounts of its oral history. Professor Karasch's investigation of the origins of Rio's slaves demonstrates the importance of the "Central Africaness" of the slave population to an understanding of its culture. Challenging the thesis of the comparative mildness of the Brazilian slave system, other chapters discuss the marketing of Africans in the Valongo, the principal slave market, and the causes of early slave mortality, including the single greatest killer, tuberculosis. Also examined in detail are adaptation and resistance to slavery, occupations and roles of slaves in an urban economy, and art, religion, and associational life. Mary C. Karasch is Associate Professor of History at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. Originally published in 1987. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905

Throughout its history, Brazil has faced recurrent droughts in some regions of the country. Recently, the drought has occurred with greater recurrence in other regions (for example the Southeast) affecting several sectors of the country such as energy and agriculture. The impacts of drought can last several years, and in the regions where this is the case, there are different impact degrees depending on the vulnerability and resilience of communities. This research analyses the case of Rio de Janeiro located in the southeast of the country, because there are not sufficient studies, and in the last years, the state has had to face the impact of drought. The main objective of this research is to evaluate the risk of drought in the state of Rio de Janeiro considering its temporal, social and geographical scale. A drought risk index was developed for Rio de Janeiro, which is composed of an index to calculate the hazard and another index for vulnerability. The assessment of the hazard was carried out using the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), and the vulnerability index was assessed by adapting the Social Vulnerability Index (SOVI) to social, economic and geophysical factors. The final result of the Drought Risk Index presented as a risk map, which can be a guide for decision makers at all levels of government, in order to take proactive measures to cope with drought and reduce the vulnerability of communities. ; Durante toda su historia Brasil ha enfrentado sequías recurrentes en algunas regiones del país. Últimamente la sequía se ha presentado con mayor recurrencia en otras regiones (como la región sudeste) afectando varios sectores del país desde energéticos hasta agrícolas. Los impactos de la sequía pueden durar por años, y en las regiones que se presenta se puede sentir en diferente grado dependiendo de la vulnerabilidad y resiliencia de las comunidades. En esta investigación se analiza el caso de Rio de Janeiro ubicado en la región sudeste del país, debido a que no hay suficientes estudios, y en los ...

Resumo O presente artigo busca demonstrar como a cultura jurídica criminal, mais precisamente os principais juristas e professores de Direito Criminal, das Faculdades de Direito do Rio de Janeiro, Viveiros de Castro, Lima Drummond e Esmeraldino Bandeira absorveram e aderiram aos postulados do positivismo criminológico, sobretudo italiano, no período da Primeira República.
