This dissertation aims at understanding Architectural Orientalism in São Paulo between 1890 and 1937. The aim is to understand the historicity of this phenomenon, from the incorporation of the architectural vocabulary to the constitution of a diversified, heterogeneous and particular social field The streets of the city. They take into account, as defining factors of their cultural experience: their agents-producers, their social interlocutors, their senses and social signs in the specifics of São Paulo of the First Republic. What goes beyond the characteristics and variations of formal production and the incorporation and interpretation of orientalist-architectural repertoires, goes directly through the interaction with the social practices and tensions of the city. Thus, we place understanding in the Paulistan manifestations of Orientalist architecture, through the understanding of architecture as an element of representation of its agents - owners and builders - within their networks of sociability and field of possibilities. Especially considering the role of affirmation, distinction and appropriation of symbolic links and languages with this \"oriental\" imaginary on the other expressed in palaces. In the acceptance of a sweetened, recognizable and auspicious image of itself, in the case of its owners and living, and showcase of art and craft of its various craftsmen-builders. In the understanding of the specificities of the paulistano case as a phenomenon marked by the coexistence between the incorporation of a style of architecture and the appropriation of its Orientalist \"image\" by Arab and Andalusian immigrants living in São Paulo, in what points to meanings and ties of identities and alterities Latent (AU) | |
