Resumo: Enquanto escreveu para Gazeta de Noticias, um dos temas discutidos por Machado de Assis foi a imigração de trabalhadores asiáticos, especialmente da China e do Japão. Neste artigo, interessa compreender o modo como o autor tinha acesso às informações sobre esses países e como lidava com elas diante das questões nacionais. Tratando-se de crônicas jornalísticas, muito do conhecimento e diálogos sobre o tema eram mediados por notícias, mas também por livros e telegramas internacionais. Nesse sentido, uma aproximação inicial dos estudos da tradução nos auxilia a compreender as estratégias narrativas do autor. Machado debatia os acontecimentos recentes e, desse modo, seus textos foram um dos meios que apresentaram a Ásia no Brasil oitocentista, possibilitando acompanhar as considerações sobre o continente, bem como sobre a vinda de seus imigrantes para o trabalho na lavoura. Palavras-chave: crônica jornalística; Machado de Assis; Ásia.Abstract: While writing to Gazeta de Noticias, one of the topics discussed by Machado de Assis was the immigration of Asian labourers, mostly from China and Japan. The purpose of this article is to understand how the author had access to information about these countries and how he dealt with it regarding national issues. As he was writing journalistic chronicles, he made connections not only with news, but also with books and international telegrams. Therefore, an initial approach of translation studies helps us to understand the narrative strategies of Machado de Assis. He debated the recent events and, in this case, those chronicles were used to introduce Asia in Brazil in the late nineteenth century, making it possible to understand the idea that Brazilians had about Asian immigrants in Brazil as working force for agriculture.Keywords: chronicles; Machado de Assis, Asia.

Sociology of religion in the West is a field of knowledge with at least 100 years of history. As a science and as a discipline, the sociology of religion has been developing in most Western universities since the late nineteenth century, having established traditions, forming well-known schools, areas related to the names of famous scholars. The total number of researchers of religion abroad has never been counted, but there are more than a thousand different centers, universities, colleges where religion is taught and studied. If we assume that each of them has an average of 10 religious scholars, theologians, then the army of scholars of religion is amazing. Most of them are united in representative associations of researchers of religion, which have a clear sociological color. Among them are the most famous International Society for the Sociology of Religion (ISSR) and the Society for Scientific Study of Religion (SSSR).

John Lloyd Williams was an authority on the arctic-alpine flora of Snowdonia during the late nineteenth century when plant collecting was at its height, but unlike other botanists and plant collectors he did not fully pursue the fashionable trend of forming a complete herbarium. His diligent plant-hunting in a comparatively little explored part of Snowdonia led to his discovering a new site for the rare Killarney fern (Trichomanes speciosum), a feat which was considered a major achievement at the time. For most part of the nineteenth century plant distribution, classification and forming herbaria, had been paramount in the learning of botany in Britain resulting in little attention being made to other aspects of the subject. However, towards the end of the century many botanists turned their attention to studying plant physiology, a subject which had advanced significantly in German laboratories. Rivalry between botanists working on similar projects became inevitable in the race to be first in print as Lloyd Williams soon realized when undertaking his major study on the cytology of marine algae.

This article explores the role of visuality in the identity politics of fin-de-siècle Catalonia. It engages with the recent reevaluation of the visual, both as a source for the history of modern nation-building, and as a constitutive element in the emergence of civic identities in the liberal urban environment. In doing so, it offers a reading of the mutually constitutive relationship of the built environment and the print media in late-nineteenth century Catalonia, and explores the role of this relation as the mechanism by which the so-called ‘imagined communities’ come to exist. Engaging with debates on urban planning and educational policies, it challenges established views on the interplay between tradition and modernity in modern nation-building, and reveals long-term connections between late-nineteenth-century imaginaries and early-twentieth-century beliefs and practices.
