We use the newspaper Diário do Pará as our primary source. This study investigates how these groups were portrayed as a "threat" to society, which was addressed through police operations such as the "Purge of Addicts" (Expurgo dos Viciados), also known as the "Gay Power Crackdown Operation", coordinated by the State and the press. Our goal is to analyze the narrative constructions in these news reports, focusing on the strategic use of the term "the people" to justify hygienist measures. These measures intersected with issues of race, class, gender, profession, and sexuality, which contributed to the implementation of policies aimed at the marginalization of these groups. The term "New Republic" (Nova República) refers not only to the emergence of democratic governance in Brazil but also to its complex relationship with homosexuals and travestis, as well as to the tourist attractions in Belém that both locals and visitors frequented. Therefore, our investigation relies on historical press reports from that era while also engaging with cultural social history, as well as studies of gender and sexuality, to deepen our understanding of this issue.

Originating from a similar context in Paraíba, both artists, through migration, sought to assert their desires and dreams of building successful artistic and professional paths. They did so in a phonographic market permeated by racial, gender-based and regional inequalities. Their differences, as well as the ways in which each related to the artistic field, may explain why they achieved such distinct outcomes in their careers, even though thay shared points of intersection highlighted by the research. By focusing on the phonographic market, this study examines the period from 1979, the year of both artists’ recording debuts, to 1985, aiming to understand the disputes they faced in order to remain in the industry and build success and stability in an environment marked by competition and inequality. Thus, though the comparison of hemerographic and discographic sources, the trajectories og Cátia de França e Elba Ramalho will be reconstructed, from their births in Paraíba to their entry into the phonographic market in Rio de Janeiro. The theoretical framework of this research draws on key authors in the fields of Social History and Popular Music, as well as theorists from Cutural Studies, Feminist Studies and ethnic-racial relations.

To this end, it examines the newspaper’s editorial positioning during the period extending from the post-coup moment of 1964 to the 1965 state elections, identifying how the periodical interpreted the new regime and expressed expectations regarding the restoration of democratic normalcy. It then analyzes A Tarde’s reaction to the authoritarian measures implemented between 1965 and 1966, especially in response to Institutional Act No. 2, the 1967 Constitution, and the Press Law, highlighting signs of discontent and opposition to the hardening of the regime and to the Castello Branco government. Finally, the dissertation investigates the newspaper’s discourse during the Costa e Silva administration (1967–1968), observing its interpretations of the new president, social mobilizations—particularly the student movement—and the ways in which the periodical reacted to the intensification of repression and the political closure that culminated in Institutional Act No. 5.

Following Decree No. 181 of January 24, 1890, which established civil marriage and allowed its dissolution, the ideological conflict between Church and State over control of the family intensified. Framed within the field of Women’s History and gender studies, the research analyzes divorce lawsuits filed by women between 1890 and 1916, aiming to identify signs of female agency within marital relations. It also examines Bahian newspapers from the period to understand how the debate over divorce unfolded both in the public sphere and in legal discourse. The study shows that, although women were traditionally educated for obedience and domestic roles, many resisted gender inequalities. Their reports of abuse, abandonment, or mutual consent reveal strategies of resistance and redefinition of power dynamics within marriage. Thus, the dissertation highlights women’s roles as central to the debates on family, marriage, and divorce, contributing to the understanding of gender relations and the construction of citizenship in Republican Brazil. Keywords: divorce; civil marriage; gender; First Republic; women’s citizenship.
