Reform, development, and modernization in a belle époque. A study into competing visions of urban renewal in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: c., 1898-1908 Open Access
Tipping, Anthony David de Carvalho (2017)
Abstract
This paper will analyze the Brazilian government's campaign for
urban renewal at the turn of the twentieth century in Rio de
Janeiro, with a focus on the opposition it inspired and the support
it garnered. I will seek to illuminate how this period of urban
development was defined by different elite groups, each expressing
rival notions of change and modernity. The case studies of the
revolta da vacina of 1904, and the Exposição Nacional of
1908, offer examples which illuminate both opposition to and
support for the government's reforms in Rio, with a focus on public
health and urban change. I will especially seek to highlight the
motivations behind the competing perspectives of development that
emerge from these debates. In doing so, I hope to build on the
still limited historiography of the period, adding insight and
context to turn-of-the-century urban renewal in Rio through
sparsely explored cases studies.
