Abstract

In the mid-nineteenth century, the city of Rio de Janeiro, the Imperial Court base, was the scenario of an intense circulation of printed periodicals. In this context, a woman founded the periodic O Jornal das Senhoras (1852-1855) whose objective was the moral emancipation and female social improvement, through education. Differently from others periodicals, which were run by men, this newspaper was run by women - Joanna Paula Manso de Noronha (1819-1875), Violante Atabalipa Ximenes Bivar e Vellasco (1817-1875) and Gervasia Nunezia Pires dos Santos Neves (1824-1872) - and it was designed to reach a female public, offering them a direct dialogue among other women. Besides publishing their feelings and sensations, practices and experiences, they also expressed their tastes and choices, costumes and the sociability spaces frequented. Among these places, they visited fashion and beauty establishments, book stores, coffee shops, dinners, balls, museums, parks, recreational clubs, theaters and musical societies. Attentive to places where music had been listened to, played at and felt, these women also reported in the pages of the periodic the sonorities they came across, shaping the printed carioca musical scenario. Therefore, the current study aims to identify the carioca musical scenario through O Jornal das Senhoras (1852-1855) views. (AU)
