| Abstract | |
Studies the changes in architecture and urban spaces, in the city of Campina Grande (State of Paraiba), between the 1930s and 1950s. Using primary sources, researches how practices and speeches that had worldwide and nationwide circulation reached the city, how they were thought of, and how they were internalized by population. The aim is to understand how public and private attempts, based on medical and technical discussion of the time, departed from previous forms of production and use of the city and its buildings, and how these attempts introduced new aesthetics, sensitivities and habits in circulating, living and dealing with body needs. Initially, analyzes how modern shapes, uses, buildings and facilities rose in the city during the 1930s. Then, studies how hygienist speeches and practices disciplined daily life and urban spaces, redefining its uses and landscapes. Finally, examines the efforts in order to adapt ancient architecture and urban structure to new aesthetics and traffic standards. (AU) | |
