Situated within the field of the History of Health and Disease, the research investigates the main measures of healthcare, food, and housing assistance directed at both the resident population and those in displacement, analytically understood here as migrants, both affected, albeit in different ways, by the effects of the drought. The study problematizes the representations constructed about these migrants in administrative, medical, and journalistic sources, as well as hygiene standards, healing practices, and the main causes of death during this period. We also consider the migratory flows from the Sertão region to the other mesoregions of Paraíba and, subsequently, the return movements to the interior from 1880 onwards, as well as public policies to combat droughts, such as the construction of dams and emergency support centers, like infirmaries, hospitals, and colonial settlements. The analysis engages with the New Cultural and Social History, mobilizing concepts such as social representations, to understand how migrants were portrayed in the sources; biopolitics, to examine the mechanisms of control over collective health; and political cultures, to interpret the government's actions and discourses in the face of the crisis. The concept of networks of sociability and experience is used to identify family and institutional ties and work relationships formed in this context. The methodological approach is anchored in Historical Demography, especially in the systematic use of Parish Death Registers, which make it possible to reconstruct age profiles, mortality patterns, and the effects of drought on the most vulnerable social groups. This set of sources is complemented by medical reports, correspondence, hospital statistical maps, administrative documents, and periodicals from the time. By broadening the scope to the year 1880, the dissertation demonstrates that the effects of the drought extended beyond its climatic end, revealing the persistence of diseases, the precariousness of living conditions, and the limitations of public assistance policies in the post-drought period. In this way, the work contributes to historiography by highlighting the drought as a historically produced social and sanitary crisis, marked by profound inequalities and experiences of illness, suffering, and resistance.

The research investigates how the sport was instrumentalized by the regime as a tool for propaganda, political legitimization, and national integration, culminating in the creation of the National Championship in 1971 and the subsequent demand for monumental arenas. The study examines the role of Governor Ernani Sátyro and the local disputes between the capital and the interior, demonstrating that these construction projects functioned as "gears of consent," serving the interests of construction companies and the federal developmentalist project, as well as the regional oligarchies of the ARENA party. Methodologically, the work relies on a critical analysis and triangulation of sources from the official, sports, and alternative press, as well as government documents, to understand the narratives of modernity and the silences imposed by censorship. Finally, the dissertation discusses the legacy of these buildings and historical memory, problematizing the tributes to figures of the dictatorial period present in Paraíba's urban toponymy.

Initially, a systematic survey of the uses of the term throughout the entire work was conducted, from which instances analyzed in the first three books were selected, chosen for concentrating distinct approaches adopted by the author. The study is organized into three chapters. The first discusses the author, his work, and the context of the initial phase of the Peloponnesian War. The second examines the contributions of ancient sources and modern historiography to the understanding of the notion of stásis. The third is devoted to the analysis of the Thucydidean text, addressing stásis in the Archaeology, the Methodology, Epidamnus, the Plague of Athens, Mytilene, and Corcyra. It is argued that the relationship between external conflict and internal conflict constitutes a structuring axis of Thucydides’ narrative and that, from the case of Corcyra onward, Thucydides develops an authorial reflection of broad scope on human nature, the fragility of norms, the instrumentalization of political discourse, and the dissolution of civic bonds. Situated within the field of Ancient History and in dialogue with historiography, the theory of history, and Classical Studies, the research understands stásis as a constitutive element of the Greek historical culture of the Classical period, reaffirming the centrality of Thucydides’ work to the historiographical debate on crisis, power, and violence.

Using Jörn Rüsen’s work on Culture and Historical Consciousness (2016) as a theoretical framework, we reflect on the potential of History teaching for shaping a meaningful temporal and spatial orientation in students' everyday lives, based on a dialogue between Antiquity and the contemporary world. Starting from the objections raised regarding the treatment of citizenship in the Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), which emphasizes men's participation and voting power in assemblies, we aim to analyze the topic from broader perspectives, in order to reveal the dynamics between male and female citizens in the shared life of the polis. This research assumes that understanding citizenship through everyday community relations helps students reflect on their own experiences and their relationship with citizenship beyond the act of voting. To support this argument, we use as sources four judicial speeches by the orator Isaeus: On the Estate of Cleonymus (Is. I), On the Estate of Menecles (Is. II), On the Estate of Pyrrhus (Is. III), and On the Estate of Philoctemon (Is. VI). In these speeches, the arguments are constructed through the characterization of good and bad citizens, and the criteria for such categorization are not related to participation in assemblies or Athenian magistracies, but rather to family relations, community involvement, and religious activity within the polis. Based on this, we aim to demonstrate a dimension of Athenian citizenship that is as fundamental to the polis as the assemblies, also recognizing female citizens as essential to the functioning of the city. In an effort to contribute to the democratization of education and the use of rhetoric in the classroom, we developed a didactic proposal based on Isaeus's speeches for basic education. We conclude in this study that the teaching of Ancient History is essential for promoting a critical and practical education for students' everyday lives.
