Resumo
O cerne dessa tese é compreender a constituição do urbano e seu corolário na cidade de Uberabinha, atual Uberlândia, em Minas Gerais, no final do século XIX e primeiras décadas do século XX, tendo como corpus documental as atas da Câmara Municipal e relatórios do Executivo, os periódicos locais, as produções de memorialistas e imagens fotográficas. A emancipação de povoados e arraiais do Triângulo Mineiro significou a possibilidade de autonomia política e a perspectiva de construção de cidades modernas, regidas pelos princípios da civilidade e do progresso. Em Uberabinha, os grupos sociais dominantes lideraram o processo de configuração do espaço urbano com a implementação de serviços e a modernização dos equipamentos e, à medida que a face da cidade se transformava, enunciavam um discurso de convencimento para validar as representações e as práticas que postulavam devessem ser cumpridas. Por meio de estratégias discursivas, políticas, sociais e imagéticas buscaram-se formar cidadãos que se pautassem pelos princípios de civilidade. Fruto de concepções liberais, o projeto de civilização executado construiu uma cidade marcada pelos conflitos entre os diversos grupos sociais que disputavam espaço para expressar suas representações, excluindo outras possibilidades e ocultando contradições que, vez ou outra, vinham à baila, manchando a imagem dominante. Em certa medida, a elite local logrou êxito ao criar um conjunto de práticas que visavam viabilizar seus interesses, presentes nos códigos de postura e regulamentos diversos, nos artigos dos periódicos, na defesa da educação como garantia de civilização. O trinômio modernidade, civilidade e progresso se sustentou de modo ambíguo, incorporando novos componentes e conservando elementos tradicionais para tornar Uberabinha/Uberlândia uma cidade de destaque em meio às demais da região
This study aims at understanding the constitution of the urban aspect and its corollary in the city of Uberabinha, currently called Uberlândia, located in the state of Minas Gerais, at the end of nineteenth century and first decades of twentieth century. The research instruments of this paper include a data corpus which contain the minutes of Uberlândia City Hall, as well as, the reports from the Executive, the local journals, the memorialist productions and the photographic images. The emancipation of villages and small towns of Triângulo Mineiro denoted the possibility of policy autonomy and the perspective of building modern cities based on the principles of civility and progress. Beside this, in Uberabinha, the dominant social groups lead the process of urban space configuration with the implementation of services and the modernization of equipments and, while the city was being changed, the speech that was enunciated illustrated the convincing strategies to validate the representations and the practices they postulated should be done. Considering this point of view, the citizens were formed through discursive, politicals, socials and imagetic strategies, guided by the civility principles. As a result of liberal conceptions, the civilization project executed built one city marked by conflicts among the various social groups that fought for opportunities to express their representations, excluding other possibilities and hiding contradictions that, sometimes, came to light, vilifying the image of dominant people. Somehow, the local elite got success when they created a set practices that aimed at reaching its interests, inserted in the posture codes and various regulations, in journals, in the defense of education as guarantee of civilization. Therefore, the three aspects, modernity, civility and progress supported themselves in an ambiguous way, incorporating new components and ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
