BUENO, Maria de Fátima Guimarães. O corpo e as sensibilidades modernas: Bragança (1900-1920). ETD [online]. 2007, vol.08, n.02, pp.309-309. ISSN 1676-2592.
This research looks for relative body sensibilities that pass by every day urban life of one countryside city in the State of São Paulo, then known as Bragança, in the ends of 19th century and the two first decades of 20th century. Searching such sensibilities we attempted to delimit those views of civilization, privacy and individualism, because those tend to mark out with the imaginary of that time, identified as modernity. It was considered that such views are anchored at liberal ideas, positivists and romantics and those, in turn, are pass by the emergency of new practical of reading. Periodics and photographs had been taken as privileged sources for this research. The theoretical contributions of Peter Gay, Michel Foucault and Walter Benjamin were so important for this research.
