Museu Republicano de Itu | Convenção Republicana de 18 de Abril de 1873

O Museu Republicano “Convenção de Itu” é uma instituição cientifica, cultural e educacional, especializada no campo da História e da Cultura Material da sociedade brasileira, com ênfase no período entre a segunda metade do século XIX e a primeira metade do século XX, tendo como núcleo central de estudos o período de configuração do regime republicano no Brasil. Além do movimento republicano e da primeira fase da República brasileira, trata também da história de Itu e região, com ênfase no século 19, destacando artistas ituanos desse período.

Desde a sua criação é uma extensão do Museu Paulista no interior do Estado de São Paulo. Foi inaugurado em 18 de abril de 1923, data exata do cinquentenário da Convenção de Itu, pela Lei nº 1.856, de 29 de dezembro de 1921, como extensão do Museu Paulista da Universidade de São Paulo. Exerce atividades de pesquisa, ensino e extensão, abordando prioritariamente três linhas de investigação condizentes com o patrimônio histórico e cultural que abriga: Cotidiano e Sociedade, Universo do Trabalho, História do Imaginário.

O sobrado histórico onde está instalado é o local em que se realizou, em 18 de abril de 1873, a Convenção Republicana de Itu, uma reunião de políticos e proprietários de fazendas de café para discutir as circunstâncias do país, marco originário da campanha republicana e da fundação do Partido Republicano Paulista.

O edifício – erguido nas décadas iniciais do século XIX e que se tornou residência da família Almeida Prado – passou por uma grande reforma em 1867, datando desse momento sua fachada azulejada. A azulejaria interna foi criada e instalada no Saguão de Entrada do Museu nos anos 1940, com cenas representadas em seus painéis formando uma narrativa da história de Itu entrelaçada a momentos-chave da história nacional.

Localizado em memorial nacional, o Museu não se restringe a expor acervos de diferentes tipologias – objetos, pinturas e registros textuais. Ao contrário, tal como o Museu Paulista, o Museu Republicano tem por meta o questionamento da formação histórica e cultural brasileira. Assim, procura explorar os ricos acervos que conserva estudando-os e divulgando esses conhecimentos por meio de publicações, cursos, reuniões científicas, oficinas e atendimentos a públicos diversificados, como pesquisadores nacionais e estrangeiros, professores, educadores e estudantes de diferentes níveis. Oferece desse modo educação informal e formação acadêmica complementar, ao mesmo tempo em que, seguindo parâmetros da USP, promove o conhecimento científico do patrimônio sob sua guarda.

O Museu Republicano, atualmente, possui três imóveis na cidade de Itu:

- o Museu de História, localizado em sobrado do século  XIX, aberto a visitação desde fevereiro de 2010;

- o Centro de Estudos, localizado em imóvel conhecido como Casa do Barão, na mesma rua em que está o Museu, e que abriga a Biblioteca, a área administrativa e a área científica e de curadoria da instituição;

- o imóvel conhecido como Casa da USP, onde foram alojadas atividades de conservação e restauração dos acervos.

Inside Colombia's Temple of Lucifer

Víctor Damián Rozo claims to be the very son of the devil and has built a temple in Colombia dedicated to worshiping Satan. More than ten years ago, Rozo renounced his Catholic religion to give his life to Lucifer, who he considers to be the only true god. Since then, his mission has been to recruit Luciferian parishioners, congregate them in his temple, and link their souls with the devil.

On this episode of 'VICE INTL,' we traveled to Rozo's temple to be initiated in a bombastic ceremony of satanist purification.

The ITU and Openness

Presenters: Speakers: Jacob Glick.
The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) is renegotiating its treaty with the 193 countries of the world, and it hopes to move from the telecommunications arena into the Internet. However, there’s one major problem with this shift in mandate: The ITU is a closed organization and has been for nearly 150 years. The ITU’s rules and processes may have worked for the old state-run telecom monopolies, but they cannot work in regulating the Internet, where standards have been developed in an open manner since its inception. Thus, in order to gain legitimacy with the Internet community, the ITU will need to (1) open its processes up for review and comment by civil society, academics, the private sector, and the public; (2) make their TIES database freely and publicly accessible for review and comment; and (3) refrain from developing competing standards and protocols in cases where other open groups are already actively developing standards.

São Paulo, Brazil is the largest metropolis in the Americas and the economic engine of the world’s sixth most-populous country.

The dramatic cliffs and endless beaches of Rio De Janeiro makes it the city that probably first comes to mind when you think of Brazil. But São Paulo, the largest metropolis in the southern hemisphere, is the true economic engine of the world’s sixth most-populous country.

In 1554, Catholic missionaries - with the help of indigenous workers - built a small village perched 750 meters above sea level and 70 kilometers from the Atlantic coast. It was the only inland settlement in the country, a jumping off point for expeditions of conquerors, traders, and gold hunters.

In the 1800’s, Brazil became the world’s leading coffee producer, but the farmers in Rio over-cultivated their soil, giving São Paulo an opening to become the country’s agricultural hub. As one of the few inland towns, it was closer than Rio to the plantations spread throughout the interior, and it was directly linked by rail to the port of Santos, making it the ideal junction for shipments of goods on their way to the coast for export.

In 1888, Brazil’s businesses adapted to another significant change when Emperor Dom Pedro II - regarded by many as the greatest Brazilian to ever live - convinced his people to abolish slavery. With their captive labor force suddenly free, farmers and industrialists turned to immigrants from abroad. Today, as a result, São Paulo has the largest population of Italian descendants of any city on the planet, including Rome; the largest Japanese community outside of Japan; and - of course - significant numbers of Portuguese and Spanish.

Many of these newcomers were skilled factory workers whose knowledge helped São Paulo emerge as a manufacturing capital during the industrial revolution and WWII.

Over a period of less than 30 years, the city’s population exploded from 250,000 to 1 million. Steady growth continued through the century, passing Rio in 1960, and hitting 8.5 million in 1980.

Today, the population of the megalopolis known as “Sampa” is over 20 million. In many ways it is a thriving global city with the largest stock exchange in Latin America; a vibrant culture with over 100 museums and dynamic performing arts spaces and beautiful parks. As part of futbol-crazed Brazil, it proudly hosted matches during the 2014 World Cup; and is making significant investments in the next generation, with 850,000 students enrolled in higher education courses.

Unfortunately though, São Paulo’s rapid development has also taken a heavy toll, with four core problems rising above the rest.

The city’s only major bodies of water are the Tiete and Pinheiros rivers. As the population grew, the government - plagued by inefficiency and corruption - struggled to meet demand for basic infrastructure. Without enough wastewater treatment plants, sewage from millions of people flowed directly into the rivers. Toxic waste from industrial facilities was dumped without limit. When new highways were built, the city laid them on the only continuous stretches of land left, the riverbanks, and then hid stretches of them behind walls. But even if you can’t always see the rivers, their stench doesn’t go away.

When the Tiete is at it most-choked, it is a biologically deadzone as far as Barra Bonita, 260 km downstream.

It wasn’t always this way. The rivers used to be gathering points for recreation--distant memories that are motivating current rehabilitation efforts, which include projects to treat 100% of all wastewater before it enters the Tiete, putting an end to all illegal dumping, and teaching people how to care for their rivers and streams.
