It analyzes how family ties, rivalries, religiosity, work, and leisure practices are articulated around the sport and transmitted through intergenerational memories and causos (anecdotes). The objective is to map the formation of rural and urban communities that comprised Constantina between 1950 and 1970 and to identify the presence of football in local community building, considering the different cultural matrices of the municipality—Italian and German immigration, caboclos, the presence of descendants of enslaved and formerly enslaved Black people, and Kaingang and Guarani Ñandeva indigenous groups located in the Serrinha Indigenous Land (Pinheiro Ralo/Fág Kavá). The temporal scope prioritizes social and territorial transformations that precede municipal emancipation processes (Liberato Salzano, 1964; Engenho Velho, 1992; Novo Xingu, 1996), mobilized as an interpretive key to understand cultural differences and their impacts on the dynamics of football. Methodologically, the research is based on Oral History, articulated with Pierre Nora's (1993) reflections on memory and the debate on football and culture in Damo (2003), in addition to Thompson (1963) to consider disputes as forms of culture and leisure. The main sources are 30 interviews with individuals linked to football in the studied communities, complemented by bibliographic records on local history (Santos, 2011; Carini, 2024). The results indicate that football acted as a space for sociability, belonging, and identity affirmation, influencing community organization, the relationship with religiosity, and forms of leisure, while simultaneously highlighting inequalities in access to resources, information, and infrastructure among the different groups. It is concluded that football, both inside and outside the four lines, constitutes an instrument of historical transformation and preservation of memories, contributing to strengthening local self-esteem and expanding regional historical records.

The purpose of this study is to understand how Plaumann, by interacting with Indigenous peoples, caboclos, and other migrant groups, contributed to the construction of an intercultural dynamic through the exchange of knowledge, scientific practices, and social transformations. This research analyzes his scientific action, especially through correspondence with researchers, photographic documentation, and organization of the entomological collection, articulated with the regional colonization process, the impacts of the Estado Novo and the Second World War, and the consolidation of the Fritz Plaumann Entomological Museum. Within the framework of Social and Cultural History, and in combination with document analysis, unpublished correspondence, photographs, and personal records, this study demonstrates that Plaumann generated scientific knowledge despite limited resources and contributed to the formation of a regional identity based on the dialogue among science, nature, and cultural diversity. By highlighting these dynamics, the research accentuates the relevance of issues such as migration, interculturality and preservation of memory in the context of the Alto Uruguai region in Santa Catarina.

This occurred in Brazil under the administration of then-president Jair Messias Bolsonaro, whose actions were marked by downplaying the severity of the disease and promoting policies without scientific validation, in a scenario that recorded over 700,000 deaths. The investigation seeks to answer two central questions: "How was the editorial transformation of Gazeta do Povo carried out?" and "what narratives were employed by Gazeta do Povo during the pandemic?". The objective is to understand the role of conservative media in legitimizing a specific worldview during the health crisis. The work is based on the theoretical perspective of the History of the Present Time. The primary sources consist of a corpus of 298 editorials from the Gazeta do Povo newspaper, collected through the web scraping method with a script developed for the study. The analysis focuses on the narratives and discourses employed in the editorials, understood as the representation of the newspaper's institutional perspective, and examines the relationship of these discourses with the actions of the federal government and the reception by readers, observed in the publications' comments section.The conclusion is that Gazeta do Povo actively constructed an interpretation of the pandemic in which the health crisis was systematically subordinated to a liberal economic agenda and a cultural war. The dominant narrative was that of the "economy above all," where social support measures were seen as fiscal "time bombs" and the only solution was austerity. Although it adopted a pragmatic and pro-science stance regarding vaccination, the newspaper aligned itself with one of the government's main denialist platforms by legitimizing "early treatment," framing the debate as a matter of "medical autonomy" against a supposed "ideological patrol". In moments of great commotion, such as the oxygen crisis in Manaus, the analysis shows that the newspaper acted to dilute the federal government's responsibility, attributing blame to other actors. Thus, the editorials transcended mere opinion, actively participating in the construction of a reality in which the "common good" was redefined and the complexity of science was instrumentalized to legitimize disinformation.

The main goal is to understand the experiences, identities, and collective networks of these individuals, aiming to challenge the prevailing portrayal that ties them mainly to agro-industrial labor by contrasting official records, media accounts, and oral histories. The methodology includes oral history based on interviews conducted with Venezuelans in Chapecó in 2024, focusing on work perceptions, identity, and everyday experiences, alongside a critical analysis grounded in racial studies and the interplay between archives, historiography, and power. Findings reveal diverse life trajectories that resist a single narrative framed solely by archival memory of this recent event. The study argues that considering displacement as an analytical category through a critical, interdisciplinary lens is essential to deepen understanding of the Venezuelan presence in western Santa Catarina, highlighting the need to dismantle erasing mechanisms and revisit dominant representations of Venezuelans in Chapecó.; Este estudio analiza el desplazamiento de venezolanos hacia la ciudad de Chapecó, en el oeste de Santa Catarina, en un contexto migratorio marcado por crisis políticas y económicas en Venezuela y por políticas públicas como la Operação Acolhida en el estado de Roraima. Su objetivo principal es comprender las experiencias, subjetividades y redes colectivas de estos individuos, buscando superar la representación predominante que los asocia exclusivamente con el trabajo en la agroindustria, mediante el contraste entre archivos oficiales, medios de comunicación e historia oral. La metodología empleada incluye la historia oral a partir de entrevistas realizadas con venezolanos en Chapecó durante 2024, con énfasis en percepciones laborales, identitarias y experiencias cotidianas, complementada con análisis crítico basado en estudios raciales y en la relación entre archivo, historiografía y poder. Los resultados muestran trayectorias de vida heterogéneas que impiden imponer una narrativa única sustentada solo en archivos que construyen la memoria reciente de este fenómeno. Se concluye que entender el desplazamiento como categoría analítica, desde un enfoque crítico e interdisciplinario, es fundamental para ampliar la comprensión sobre la presencia venezolana en el oeste de Santa Catarina, destacando la necesidad de desactivar mecanismos que invisibilizan estas trayectorias y revisar las representaciones hegemónicas sobre los venezolanos en Chapecó.
