Resumo: |
This study aims to discuss the historical relationships between electric energy and some technical objects, in Fortaleza (capital of Ceara state) from 1945 to 1965. During this period the population experienced serious troubles with the supply of light and power, which made difficult the major integration of electricity in the daily life and had unfavorable impact on local economy. With the fast demographic growth and the spread of demand, the electrical system underwent successive rationings, breakdowns, overloads and campaigns for the reduction in private consumption levels. The solution, by means of the city connection with Paulo Afonso plant in 1965, accessed a more regular and cheaper energy supply, although it was far from assuring the poor a better reach to this benefit. This context of growing application of electric current and social inequality entailed the making of ambivalent meanings in household comfort, which in the postwar was more and more related to the acquisition and usage of electric appliances. Through the investigation of these objects it was possible to apprehend certain changes in the inhabitants perception, as well as the emergence of visual and sound elements which expressed their presence in urban daily life and their role in the dissolution of boundaries between public and private. In the course of the research it was also observed the importance of technological shifts for the production of practices and values related to the household modernization |
