Um estudo comparado entre Rio de Janeiro e Salvador, 1953-1970 Oliveira, João Paulo Silva de Rocha Júnior, Coriolano Pereira da This thesis presents an analysis of the documentary corpus composed of journalistic sources that narrate the sports trajectory of Waldemar Santana, a prominent Brazilian “vale-tudo” fighter in the 1950s. His history – marked by his migration from Bahia to Rio de Janeiro, his rise in jiu-jitsu, and his emblematic confrontation with Hélio Gracie – reflects the dynamics of power, recognition, and contestation that permeated both the sporting world and a society in transformation. Like football, vale-tudo was a sport frequently covered by sports sections in newspapers of that period. We conducted a documentary survey with the aim of reconstructing Waldemar Santana’s career, drawing on narratives published in sports news between 1953 and 1970. The adopted methodology consisted of a comparative analysis of hemerographic sources organized around two geographical axes: Rio de Janeiro and Salvador. Regarding the Rio de Janeiro newspapers, the investigation was carried out using the collections of the National Library through the Brazilian Digital Newspaper Archive (Hemeroteca Digital Brasileira). Relevant records were identified in the following publications: A Noite, Correio da Manhã, Diário Carioca, Diário da Noite, Diário de Notícias, Jornal do Brasil, Jornal do Commercio, Jornal dos Sports, Luta Democrática, Manchete Esportiva, Manchete, O Globo, O Jornal, Revista do Esporte, Revista do Rádio, Tribuna da Imprensa, Última Hora, among others. For the Salvador context, the research focused on local institutions of historical preservation, particularly the Ruy Barbosa Library, affiliated with the Geographic and Historical Institute of Bahia (GHIB). In these repositories, materials were catalogued from the newspapers A Tarde, Diário da Bahia, Diário de Notícias, Estado da Bahia, Jornal da Bahia, and Tribuna da Bahia. By the end of the research, Waldemar Santana’s trajectory emerges as a privileged locus for analyzing the disputes over symbolic and cultural capital within the “vale-tudo” and martial arts field in Brazil-where victories and defeats matter less as absolute measures of technical efficiency and more as elements of social, racial, and regional distinction. The study repositions Waldemar Santana at the center of the narrative and contributes to destabilizing crystallized beliefs about the history of “vale-tudo” and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, while also revealing the mechanisms that marginalize bodies and trajectories in sports and highlighting the power of the press in producing memory and forgetting.

This scenario leads us to rethink education, focusing on the development of essential skills for the 21st century. Among these, effective communication, emotional intelligence, productivity, flexibility in the face of change, innovation, and creativity stand out. Schools need to update their teaching models to keep pace with changes in the world. For this reason, maker culture in education can help make teaching and learning more active, participatory, innovative, and entrepreneurial, with a focus on practical activities, placing students at the centre of the entire educational process. Thus, the overall objective of this thesis was to analyse maker culture from the perspective of the production of teaching resources created to assist the teaching practice of a group of primary school teachers in the municipal education network of the city of São Francisco do Conde (BA). The chosen method was qualitative, descriptive and analytical. Content analysis was used for data analysis. The results show that the maker culture used in the classroom for the production of teaching resources proved to be a good potential for improving the quality of teaching and learning, as teachers and students collaboratively built activities during classes, which favoured teaching and learning. Learning became lighter, more playful, innovative, creative, and interactive, and this had a direct impact on student learning, who, when assessed, were able to demonstrate knowledge of what had been studied in the classroom. The study concluded that maker culture in education makes learning more active, participatory, and stimulating. As a result, the teaching-learning process became lighter and more enjoyable, encouraging students to develop the fundamental skills for the 21st century.

The study is justified by the growing interest of Physical Education teachers in incorporating this content into the school context and by the expansion of academic production in the field, which calls for a critical analysis of the theoretical and philosophical assumptions that guide such production. Grounded in Historical-Dialectical Materialism, Historical-Critical Pedagogy, Historical-Cultural Psychology, and the Critical-Overcoming Approach to Physical Education, the research is based on the hypothesis that the teaching of circus activities in School Physical Education is hegemonically oriented by pedagogical conceptions aligned with the “learning to learn” motto, which subordinate elaborated knowledge to immediate experience and to the adaptation of subjects to the demands of the capitalist mode of production. This is a qualitative study of a bibliographic and documentary nature, developed through a systematic literature review. The research corpus consists of theses, dissertations, and scientific articles retrieved from the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, the CAPES Journals Portal, and publications from research groups in the field. The analysis, guided by categories such as conception of the human being, historical project, school, pedagogical theory, Physical Education approach, and treatment of knowledge, revealed that although the analyzed production represents an advance in challenging the fitness paradigm, questioning the centrality of sport as exclusive content, and recognizing circus activities as artistic knowledge within body culture, pedagogical conceptions that empty teaching of its role as a conscious and systematic mediation, fragment content, and limit the formative potential of this knowledge within the school context still prevail. Counter-hegemonic productions were also identified, pointing to possibilities for a pedagogical approach committed to the transmission of historically elaborated knowledge and to the development of theoretical thinking, although these remain minority perspectives within the analyzed corpus. It is concluded that the theoretical and methodological deepening of the teaching of circus activities in School Physical Education requires the strengthening of critical frameworks committed to comprehensive human formation and to the social function of the school in the socialization of systematized knowledge.

The guiding question for the development of the investigation was: What is the character and theoretical-methodological implications of Marx's method, considering Musto's contributions? To answer this research question, the following specific questions were established: a) To investigate the main contributions of Marcello Musto to the understanding of the character and theoretical-methodological implications of Marx's method; b) To present the theoretical references and studies in the analysis of what became known as Marx's theory, the so-called materialist conception of history and the method linked to it, elaborated by the Italian author, taking into account the debates held in the field of Marxism; c) Identify the author's main contributions to Marx's transition to materialism, the characteristics of his conception of history and his method of analyzing reality, its theoretical and methodological implications, and the relationship between theory and social practice, according to Marx's conception of method; d) Analyze how the author decisively contributes to the updating of the method and its importance for understanding reality in transformation. As part of the dialectical materialist theoretical-methodological conception employed in this research, we initially sought to appropriate existing sources on the research object, from materials available in books, documents, newspapers, periodicals, and pages on the World Wide Web, particularly referring to the most recent contributions of Musto (2014; 2018; 2022; 2023a; 2023b; 2024a; 2024b; 2024c), complemented by approaches, contributions, observations, and critiques from other authors such as Netto (2020; 2011; 2006), Yamamoto (1994), Carvalho (2008), Novack (2015; 2005), Rosdolsky (2001), Rubin (1987), and Heinrich (2018; 2008), regarding Marx's method. This research is bibliographic in nature, as it seeks to unveil the investigated reality from a dialectical theoretical-methodological perspective, within which Musto generally seeks to situate himself, through methodological procedures such as a bibliographic survey of the researched author and his perspective on Marx's legacy (2017a; 2002; 2017c; 2013; 2011a; 2009a; 1982b; 2009; 1998). Thus, the thesis is structured as follows: 1) the first section contains the introduction; 2) the second section presents the elements that made possible Marx's transition from philosophical idealism to what he called historical materialism; 3) In the third section, the essence and character of the new materialist and dialectical theory, synthetically formulated in an unfinished manner by Marx and Engels in *The German Ideology* (1845-1846), are analyzed; 4) In the fourth section, an investigation is undertaken into the very process of expansion and development of the founders' theory and the method linked to it, in the post-1846 period; 5) In the fifth section, an analysis of the most fundamental elements of Marx's method is presented, based on the contributions of Marcello Musto, complemented by a set of references from the Marxist field; 6) In the sixth section, a reflection is presented on the theoretical and methodological implications of Marx's materialist and dialectical conception, and its consequences for the relationship between theory and social practice. In the final considerations, we point out perspectives opened by Musto's interpretation for research, but also what we consider to be limitations. The research results support the following thesis: Musto's contributions can open new possibilities for a deeper understanding of the method and, therefore, for the development of interpretations, debates, and advances in knowledge of the question of theory and method in Marx.
