Full textIn this work we inspect the conception of civil society in the social and political ideas of Benjamin Franklin, which exerted large influence on the mentality constitution of the New World´s man. This mentality had initiated a new way to conceive the life in society exalting all that opposed the values of the old order. Against the principle of honor, the nobility titles, and the individual social position it exalts the republican virtue, celebrates the work, and claims respect for human dignity inherent to all men, not depending on their birth condition. Not by chance, virtue and work appears like central categories in the ideas of Benjamin Franklin. Far from conceiving it as shameful, he comprehended the work as the man´s vital energy and expression of his freedom. More than a way to obtain wealth, the work also attended to promote the virtue once it released man from the poverty and servility condition as much as from the dependence of the others good will. This theses utters that man couldn´t be considered free if he wasn´t at the same time politically free and economic independent. In this way, his conception of society seems articulated with doctrines that ascend an ancient tradition. It is mainly inspired by the ideal of civitas libera or the Free State. This ideal had predominated in the Republican Rome of Tito Livio, and then was relived and adapted by the Italian Renascence, mainly by Machiavelli, and was recovered by the defenders of the English republican cause, in the seventeenth century. This influence came to the English colonies in America in the eighteenth century, and it had in Franklin one of its main representatives.

Chief Justice William Allen and Benjamin Franklin met hundreds of times prior to Franklin's departure to London in 1757, and yet very little has been written about Allen. For over twenty years, Franklin and Allen worked closely on a variety of municipal improvements: the library, the hospital, the school, the fire company and many other projects that were the first of their kind in America. And while Allen was Franklin's main benefactor for close to twenty-five years --it was Allen's endorsement of Franklin that got him his job as Postmaster-- Franklin mentions him only twice in his

Resumo: A intenção inicial desta pesquisa era analisar a maneira como se constitui o sujeito ao longo dos escritos confessionais de Walter Benjamin, levando em consideração os movimentos e possíveis transformações que lhe seriam essenciais. Para tanto, pretendi levar em conta a forma peculiar pela qual Benjamim se constrói como sujeito nessas narrativas, isto é, rompendo com a ideia de linearidade e transparência de si. Deste modo, o autor parece possibilitar o desenvolvimento de uma leitura alçada na imagem e na representação desse sujeito dentro da autoescritura. Tal leitura visa lidar com as constantes transformações - que, por vezes, chegam até mesmo a expressar contradições - sofridas pelo sujeito benjaminiano ao longo dos textos. No princípio, parti da hipótese de que o termo "confessional" e o termo "autobiográfico" seriam sinônimos. Deste modo, a pergunta pela "escrita confessional" benjaminiana se confundiria com a questão da autobiografia na obra do autor. Posteriormente, e por uma questão paradigmática no que tange ao andamento do trabalho, percebi que a escrita do sujeito benjaminiano mescla momentos confessionais e testemunhais, inaugurando, segundo creio, um novo viés dentro da escritura autobiográfica. Proponho-me a desenvolver este trabalho a partir da leitura das seguintes obras de Walter Benjamin: Infância em Berlim por Volta de 1900 (Berliner Kindheit um Neunzehnhundert); Crônica Berlinense (Berliner Chronik) e Diário de Moscou (Moskauer Tagebuch). Tal recorte foi feito tomando por base o realizado por Gerhard Richter em seu artigo "Acts of Self-Portraiture: Benjamin's Confessional and Literary Writings", publicado pela primeira vez em 2004 no The Cambridge Companion to Walter Benjamin1
Abstract: The original intention of this research was to examine how the subject constitutes itself through the confessional writings of Walter Benjamin, taking into consideration the movements and possible changes that would be essential to it. Therefore, I wanted to take into account the peculiar way in which Benjamin constitutes it as a subject into these narratives, i.e., rupturing the idea of linearity and transparency of it. Thus, the author appears to enable the development of competence in a read image and a representation of the subject within his 'self writing'. This reading aims to deal with the constant transformations - which sometimes even expresses contradictions - suffered by Benjamin's subject over the texts. At the beginning, I staged the hypothesis that the term "confessional" and the term "autobiographical" were synonymous. Thus, the question of Benjamin's "confessional writing" became merged with the matter of autobiography in his works. Later, as a paradigm regarding the working process, I realized that Benjamin's 'self writing' and its subject merge confessional and testimonial moments, presenting what I think it is a new bias into the autobiographical writing. I propose to develop this work from the following works of Walter Benjamin: Berlin Childhood around 1900 (Berliner Kindheit one Neunzehnhundert); Berliner's Chronicle (Berliner Chronik) and Moscow's Diary (Moskauer Tagebuch). This selection was done by taking the base held by Gerhard Richter in his article "Acts of Self-Portraiture: Benjamin's Confessional and Literary Writings", first published in 2004 in The Cambridge Companion to Walter Benjamin.2

In 1870, the young and virtually unknown Benjamin Franklin Ramiz Galvão was appointed to the position of director of the National Library; he left his position twelve years later, already as a renowned scholar, to become the tutor of the grandchildren of D. Pedro II. During the period in which he was in charge of that institution, Ramiz Galvão planned to make that space the library of the Brazilian nation. That meant creating an institution whose functions were to safeguard the Brazilian documentary heritage, make it available to specialized groups, and encourage studies on the history and geography of the country. The goal was to make the National Library a place of reference, consonant with their European counterparts and in dialogue with the national literate media. In this context, Galvão had a fundamental role in the creation of a network of sociability that linked him to scholars, booksellers, bibliophiles and librarians from different parts of Brazil, America and Europe. This doctoral dissertation evaluates the Ramiz Galvão’s proposal to recast the National Library, trying to associate it with a larger project of construction of the Brazilian nation. For this, three elements considered as the main factors in the process of building a national Library were investigated: 1) the creation of a service routine, which was able to transform a small space with books of the former Royal Library into the most important library in Brazil; 2) the effort of acquiring and selecting a Brazilian documentary heritage, and making it available in publications, such as the Anais da Biblioteca Nacional (Proceedings of the National Library) and the Catálogo da Exposição de História do Brasil (Catalog of the Exhibition of History of Brazil), which are two of his most important works as a director; and 3) the role of Ramiz Galvão as a cultural mediator in the Brazilian literate environment of the late nineteenth century.
Em 1870, o jovem e praticamente desconhecido Benjamin Franklin Ramiz Galvão foi nomeado para ocupar o cargo de diretor da Biblioteca Nacional, posto do qual saiu doze anos depois, já como intelectual consagrado, para assumir a função de tutor dos netos de D. Pedro II. Durante o período em que esteve à frente desta instituição, Ramiz Galvão projetou fazer daquele espaço a biblioteca da nação brasileira. Isso significava construir uma instituição cuja função fosse salvaguardar o patrimônio documental brasileiro, torná-lo disponível a um público especializado e estimular estudos sobre a história e a geografia do país. O objetivo era fazer da Biblioteca Nacional um lugar de referência, sintonizada com suas congêneres europeias e em diálogo com os meios letrados nacionais. Nesse sentido, a atuação de Galvão foi fundamental para a construção de uma rede de sociabilidade que o ligava a estudiosos, livreiros, bibliófilos e bibliotecários de diversos lugares do Brasil, da América e da Europa. Esta tese analisa a proposta de reformulação da Biblioteca Nacional empreendida por Ramiz Galvão, buscando associá-la a um projeto maior de construção da nação brasileira. Para isso, investigaremos três elementos que consideramos principais desse trabalho de edificação de uma Biblioteca nacional: 1) a construção de uma rotina de serviços, que foi capaz de transformar o pequeno espaço com livros da antiga Biblioteca Real na mais importante biblioteca do Brasil; 2) o esforço de aquisição e de seleção de um patrimônio documental brasileiro e sua divulgação em publicações como os Anais da Biblioteca Nacional e o Catálogo da Exposição de História do Brasil, dois de seus mais importantes empreendimentos como diretor; 3) a atuação de Ramiz Galvão como mediador cultural no ambiente letrado brasileiro do final do século XIX.
