AbstractThis article considers the cultural adjustment of immigrants to Brazil through an analysis of the role that association football (soccer) played in identity formation in twentieth-century São Paulo. It focuses on the city's large Italian population, in particular the experiences of a leading club, the Società Sportiva Palestra Itália, and of the first generation of Brazilian footballers who migrated abroad in order to play football professionally, many of whom were Paulistas of Italian descent. It demonstrates that through football Italians obtained agency in negotiating the process by which they became Brazilian and found a means by which to preserve a sense of discrete ethnicity within São Paulo's multiethnic community.

ABSTRACTModernism was a movement that began in the 1920s through the critical activities of Oswald de Andrade, Menotti del Picchia, Mário de Andrade and others who warned against the appreciation of national roots. Thus exposed their ideas of renovating groups of artists who begin to unite around a new aesthetic proposal. Modern architecture in Brazil had their origins in European avant-garde in the early twentieth century as well, represented by architect Antonio Moya. In 1923 arrives in São Paulo Warchavchik the architect, who always insisted on the character while "modern" and "Brazilian" in its architecture. Following years: architects assert themselves fully, influencing young architects. This research aims to analyze the projects executed by some architects who rewrote and reshaped the architecture in Brazil with modernism and artistic / visual interference paneled walls and details inside these buildings.RESUMOO modernismo foi um movimento que se iniciou por volta dos anos 1920 através das atividades críticas de Oswald de Andrade, Menotti del Picchia, Mário de Andrade entre outros, que alertaram para a valorização das raízes nacionais.

Irish science fiction is a relatively unexplored area for Irish Studies, a situation partially rectified by the publication of Jack Fennell's Irish Science Fiction in 2014. This article aims to continue the conversation begun by Fennell's intervention by analysing the work of Belfast science fiction author Ian McDonald, in particular King of Morning, Queen of Day (1991), the first novel in what McDonald calls his Irish trilogy. The article explores how McDonald's text interrogates the intersection between science, politics, and religion, as well as the cultural movement that was informing a growing sense of a continuous Irish national identity. It draws from the discipline of Science Studies, in particular the work of Nicholas Whyte, who writes of the ways in which science and colonialism interacted in late nineteenth and early twentieth-century Ireland.
