Título: O diploma e as “novas ruralidades performadas”: trajetórias formativas, mobilidade social e reconfigurações territoriais em Araquém – CE Autor(es): Bezerra, Talita Silva Abstract: This thesis analyzes the social, economic, and symbolic effects of higher education graduation among young people and adults from rural areas who represent the first generation in their families to access university education. The research takes as its empirical locus the district of Araquém, located in the municipality of Coreaú, in northwestern Ceará, and investigates how higher education is converted into new forms of professional insertion, social recognition, and the construction of life projects, producing transformations that go beyond individual trajectories and impact the territorial and symbolic configuration of the rural space.Based on na ethnobiographical and long term approach, following educational trajectories for more than a decade, the study articulates life narratives in order to understand the meanings attributed to the diploma by subjects from farming families marked by experiences of child labor, economic precariousness, and difficulties in their schooling processes. The research dialogues with Brazilian rural sociology, studies on social mobility, and the sociology of education. As its main analytical contribution, the thesis proposes the category of “performed new ruralities,” constructed through dialogue with the notion of the “new rural” and with interactionist anthropology. This category makes it possible to understand that transformations in rural áreas are not limited to economic diversification or the expansion of services, but also involve identity performances, narratives of social ascent, and forms of self-presentation that resignify the social position of subjects, redefine collective expectations, and produce new grammars of belonging. Graduates thus become mediators between tradition and change, articulating territorial permanence, professionalization, and pluriactivity. By highlighting higher education as a vector for the reconfiguration of ruralities, the research demonstrates that the permanence of graduates in their territory does not represent immobility, but rather an active process of reinventing the rural as a “space of life.” The thesis contributes to sociological debate by showing how educational policies, individual trajectories, and territorial structures intertwine in the production of inequalities, as well as in the concrete possibilities for social mobility and symbolic transformation in the contemporary rural world.

Título: Heimat: migrações germânicas no Paraguai Autor(es): Oliveira, Sindy Gabrielly Holanda Abstract: This thesis consists of an ethnography on the Germanic migrations to the Colonias Unidas, in Paraguay, which occurred during and after the Covid-19 pandemic. The research, from a socio-anthropological perspective, is dedicated to understanding the migratory reasons and the dynamics established by migrants in rural cities, founded by German-Brazilians in the first decades of the twentieth century: Bella Vista, Hohenau and Obligado. Such migrants, predominantly white, Protestant Christians, coming from the European middle and upper classes are incorporated into a conservative, sometimes fascist habitus, which guides both their life trajectories and their perceptions of the world. They start from a narrative that there is a civilizational decline in their countries of origin, presenting in their discourses rejections of health policies to combat the pandemic, migratory movements that reconfigure the European space, cultural pluralism, the fiscal state of European countries, and gender affirmative policies. In this way, their migratory projects of a colonial nature are directed to the reconstruction of a social and moral order in the Colonias Unidas that immigrants believe to be threatened in the European context. Paraguay becomes a space of ideological refuge and reaffirmation of racial and class privileges, an Edenic paradise. For the construction of this thesis, 50 formal interviews were conducted, in addition to participant observation, analysis of local publications and literature review. Debates around the methodological challenges inherent in ethnographic making with uncomfortable otherness, as well as discussions about Islamophobia, conspiracy theories, and the intersections between coloniality, race, and nation structure the thesis.

Título: Ser jovem no ensino médio em tempo integral: experiências e sociabilidades com a música Autor(es): Silva, Bruna Muniz da Abstract: Young people are social beings who create their own forms of expression and interaction; in short, youth cultures that give unique meanings to the places where they live or circulate, be it their homes, the city, or the school. Taking high schools as a reference, the unique universe of cultural references and social relations that young people communicate and establish in their daily school life is marked, among other languages ​​and modes of expression, by diverse experiences with music. This investigation into the youth experience with music at school aims to understand how emerging youth sociabilities arise from music and the specific meanings and contexts of such emergence in daily school life. Taking as the locus of investigation two public full-time high schools (EEMTI), one located in the city of Horizonte and the other in the city of Fortaleza, this mixed-methods research seeks to understand how young people make school in their own way, despite the institutional limitations surrounding the process of becoming a student. The investigation illustrated the diverse modes of musical consumption, both individual and collective, that mobilize a reflective relationship between young people and music in schools with extended school hours, where new pedagogical spaces and times also broaden the possibilities for experiences with music. In the contemporary cultural context, the young people surveyed evidenced more fragmented, flexible, and instantaneous modes of consumption that reinforce the fundamental influence of technologies on musical production, circulation, and consumption, and list music as a strategic element of expression of youth cultures, with adherence to or tension in relation to school culture. Based on the study of youth and their cultures, this research also presents a proposal for didactic-curricular intervention that can unfold the discussions listed in debates among school subjects about their experiences and youth movements mobilized in different contexts and eras.

Título: Economia e estilo de vida criminal: reflexões a partir de uma investigação sobre os mercados varejistas de drogas ilícitas no Ceará Autor(es): Sousa, Manoel Johnson Sales Abstract: This work investigates forms of socioeconomic inclusion promoted by the retail drug market in peripheral communities of Ceará, seeking to understand its economic, cultural, and moral dimensions. Through a qualitative and ethnographic approach, the research was conducted in five municipalities – Fortaleza, Maracanaú, Caucaia, Paraipaba, and Itapajé – involving 58 interlocutors from 12 communities. Based on a combination of interviews, participant observation, and sociocultural analysis, the study proposes the concept of paradoxical socioeconomic inclusion, according to which the crime market offers immediate opportunities for income and belonging, but without long-term social or economic sustainability. Supported also by a robust literature review, the analysis indicates that the retail drug market operates as a space for the reproduction of vulnerabilities and inequalities, regulated by the Transgressive Intensity and Soft Power of crime, which can manifest itself through criminal culture and aesthetics. It is concluded that, although this market functions as a palliative mechanism for inclusion and identity in the peripheries, it does not represent an effective alternative for inclusion or socioeconomic development, reinforcing the need for integrated public policies that expand real freedoms and reduce dependence on the Criminal Economy.
