Presented by the Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, the study O Brasil de Tom Jobim na voz de Frank Sinatra: um estudo sobre - tradução, música e cultura (Tom Jobim's Brazil in the voice of Frank Sinatra: a study about translation, music and culture), by Marina Silva Maximiano aims to show how elements of Brazilian culture were introduced to other countries through translations of Bossa Nova songs. A comparative analysis of the original and translated versions of three of Tom Jobim's songs is made: ('Sabiá'/ 'The Song of The Sabiá', 'Garota de Ipanema'/ 'The Girl From Ipanema', 'Água de Beber'/ 'Drinking Water'). This analysis is based on the concepts of domestication, foreignization (Venuti, 1995) and cultural identity (Venuti, 2002 (1998)).

Presented by the Milton de Mendonça Teixeira, the study Resumo histórico de Ipanema - Historical summary of Ipanema explains that The entire coastal border of the south zone was given the name of 'Copacabana Farm', and was acquired in 1808 by Da. Aldonsa da Silva Rosa, a smallholder. Da. Aldonsa did not hold on to the land, re-selling it in 1810 to the Portuguese Manoel dos Santos Passos, who bestowed it onto his nephew Antônio da Costa Passos, who kept it until 1819.
