L'énorme travail produit par le géographe français Élisée Reclus est encore largement ignoré dans le domaine de l'histoire. Différentes possibilités d'utilisation des écrits de ce précurseur de la géo-histoire peuvent être indiquées pour les études sur les frontières et l'occupation historique des territoires dans la perspective de l'histoire sociale. Dans ce texte, la macro-région génériquement connue sous le nom de Guyanes sera l'espace physique utilisé pour dresser une analyse historique de quelques publications de Reclus dans la Revue des Deux Mondes et dans la Nouvelle Géographie Universelle.
Abstract: The transnational networks built by anarchists activists in the end of the 19 th and beginning the 20 th centuries, are already much known by the historiography. For Italian anarchism, due to the political persecution suffered in the 19th, transnational networks became the rule of the movement. Italian's anarchist immigration to South American cone was part of this transatlantic history. The encounter of many activists in São Paulo, Brazil, allowed the creation of several affinity groups working together, an important improve to the propaganda. In 1904, one of these efforts resulted in their aim media, "La Battaglia", maybe the most important, certainly a very popular periodical in Brazil until 1913.

the Caiçara fishing communities at Santos Estuary. We study only the communities that still
have a commercial fishing labour inside the inhabitants group. To make the work easier we
have restricted the area of study at three fishing villages (Monte Cabrão, Sítio Cachoeira and
Prainha Branca), all of them settled at Bertioga Channel, among Santos, Bertioga and Guarujá
towns. We try to understand how important is the environmental speeches developed after the
Nineties for the policies strategies used by the traditional populations and also by the owners
and entrepreneurs. Both used it to get their objectives: to remain in their villages for the first
ones and to build news undertakings based on sustainability development for the second ones.
only in the 1920’s. The Brazilian Federal Government strategy was to build an agro-colony called Clevelândia. Between
1924 and 1927, it was transformed into a penal colony, causing the failure of the agro-colony experience. The populating
process moved to nearly Martinique village, an oldest black and riverine community, after renamed to Oyapock. This
article presents human and social relations established at those places in three different moments: the agro-colony, the
penal-colony and the new Martinique community. The historical sources were used to map these places. The objective
is to understand, with the aid of ‘cartography’, which kind of relationship among this diverse population was established
and how it was happened. Despite the governmental hierarchizing of space, the individual real life reinvented it creating
social relations not planned by the power of State: the ‘heterotopias’.

The tradition of libertarian thinking is based on the possibility to build an autonomist relationship between the individuals and the institutional power forms. In this article we propose to put anarchism in the core of modernity and linked it at the enlightenment project to constitution an autonomist subject by himself. At first we will be analyzed the relationship established by Michel Foucault between enlightenment and modernity (especially the political emancipation and life aesthetic). Next on we will try to show how life aesthetic concept developed by the French philosopher in his last writings has evident affinity whit the theory and practices used in the libertarian thinking

It is impossible to investigate the early history of the Brazilian labor movement without taking a transnational approach to the networks established by leftist immigrants. Attention should be drawn not only to labor and leftist movement networks in immigrants’ European countries of origin but also to networks among workers and leftist militants from neighboring countries in South America. Thus, this study on the origins of the Brazilian labor movement aims to understand the transnational political practices of Italian and Iberian immigrants (the main groups) and the circulation of working-class and leftist ideas throughout Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.
In the early years of the twentieth century, a strong labor movement emerged in São Paulo, the most important Brazilian industrial city. When we try to identify the left networks there, we discover that the support for Italian immigrants was essential for the town’s development. In fact, it is impossible to speak about the labor movement in São Paulo before the end of the nineteenth century, when most of the Italians that had emigrated to Brazil were moving from rural to urban areas. The huge influx of Italian immigrants to the state of São Paulo in the two last decades of the nineteenth century brought many anarchist and socialist ideas with them in their luggage, and they landed in a context marked by an almost complete lack of leftist ideas. Therefore, the most visible actions were taken by anarchists and revolutionary socialist groups, whose militants were responsible for several newspapers printed from the middle of the 1890s and for most of the social circles that were founded at the beginning of the new
century. In this chapter, we will focus on the influence of Italian anarchism in São Paulo’s early working-class organizations.
Uma obra publicada sobre o tema das fronteiras, dado o gigantismo das fronteiras nacionais, dada a expansão fronteiriça da área conquistada aos aborígenes pela “civilização” desde a época da América portuguesa até o presente, geralmente está destinada a um recorte geográfico regionalizado. Nesse sentido, organizar uma coletânea na área de História sobre fronteiras, de dimensão continental, cujo conteúdo é percebido de modo transversal a outros estudos históricos como os de escravidão, estudos agrários, história indígena, história política, guerras, contribui para situar a temática da fronteira, ainda discreta no Brasil, para o lugar central que ela ocupa em diferentes realidades históricas internacionais americanas, por exemplo, nos Estados Unidos, no México e na Colômbia, apenas para indicarmos países cujo processo de ocupação territorial e de conquista foi, em algum modo, similar ao brasileiro.
Vivere una vita libera, ribelle e solidale è un tratto caratteristico, partecipativo e cosmopolita che pare essere la stella polare di questi "vecchi" anarchici. L'azione diretta e indipendente, l’aspirazione a non delegare ad altri la soluzione dei propri problemi, la speranza in un mondo migliore libero e egualitario sono i sentimenti che muovono i "vecchi" libertari come Ristori ma che sono anche la fonte d'ispirazione dei nuovi attivisti di strada del XXI secolo. Niente di più moderno, addirittura ultramoderno: la volontà di essere padroni del proprio destino. Questo libro è un racconto biografico costruito attraverso una rigorosa ricerca negli archivi italiani e brasiliani. In queste pagine si mostra come un uomo di origini povere e quasi senza istruzione, autodidatta, divenne, attraverso la cultura libertaria, uno dei principali protagonisti del movimento a cavallo dei secoli XIX e XX.
O capítulo trata da organização da resistência antifascista italiana no Brasil, desde meados dos anos 1920 até o ano de 1936 quando a perseguição política aos antifascistas italianos promovida por Getúlio Vargas e sua polícia política, levou à prisão, deportação e morte de vários militantes italianos sindicalistas, anarquistas, socialistas, comunistas e republicanos.
