Memória de longa duração: um estudo sobre a consolidação das trajetórias de imigrantes norte-americanos no contexto de 1859 a 1870 nas cidades do Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo

Abstract

Some North American characters contributed to significant social and educational changes in the cities of Rio de Janeiro in 1859 and São Paulo in 1870. This article is interested in pointing out the relationships between some Presbyterian missionaries who came to Brazil, such as Ashbel Green Simonton (1833-1867) and George W. Chamberlain (1839-1902), as well as important educators: Mary A. Annesley Chamberlain, Mary Parker Dascomb, Phebe R. Thomas, and Marcia P. Brown. The "long-term memory", which refers to the emphasis given by  the Annales to historical processes or long periods, which surpass the history of events, evokes the problematization that arises: how has the acquisition, consolidation and evocation of the memory of such protagonists been over time? The bibliographic methodology is based on historical sources such as Garcez (1969), Motta (1970), Matos (2004), Braudel (1950), among others. It is hoped that history will be revisited, memory evoked and the relationships between subjects will highlight past facts and point to the gains of the present, in addition to highlighting the permanence of the legacy left by such agents.
