Subjacent to this process, we worked on the mechanisms of intensification of the social differences from the creation of the Province in 1852, and therefore, poverty became not only visible to governors, but also a disturb to the emerging mercantilist and bureaucratic ??lite. The adequation of production and consumering relations to the liberal forms of production, coincident to the organization of Brazilian nation conducted the deliberation of a series of public politics which aimed at adapting individuals and space to the modern demands. Habits, customs, traditions and ways of living had to be submitted to a rigid control, and behavior changing was fundamental to that. Within this reforming picture, those who did not want or could not be immediately absorved by the productive process due to a series of reasons which included orfanity and mendicancy, started to be regarded with mistrust and became an aim to cohibiting politics which conducted them to enclosure. The creation of shelters destined to poor people had an educational character for children, as well as a medical aspect to sick and indigent people. This process was conducted within a philanthropic discourse which hid both the growth of poverty and a series of segregation intentions A pesquisa aqui apresentada aborda a cria????o das casas de abrigo destinadas a desvalidos e indigentes na cidade de Manaus, no per??odo final do regime Imperial e anos iniciais da Rep??blica. Subjacente a este processo, dissertamos acerca dos mecanismos de intensifica????o da diferencia????o social desencadeada no Amazonas a partir da cria????o da Prov??ncia em 1852, no qual a exclus??o social e, por conseguinte, a pobreza tornou-se n??o s?? vis??vel aos olhos dos governantes, mas ainda inc??moda para uma elite mercantil e burocr??tica emergente. A adequa????o das rela????es de produ????o e consumo ??s formas liberais de produ????o, coincidentes com a organiza????o da na????o brasileira, conduziu a delibera????o de uma s??rie de pol??ticas p??blicas que visavam adaptar os indiv??duos e o espa??o ??s demandas modernas. H??bitos, costumes, tradi????es e modos de vida deveriam ser submetidos a um r??gido controle, para o que a mudan??a comportamental era fundamental. Neste quadro reformador, aqueles que n??o queriam ou n??o podiam ser imediatamente absorvidos pelo processo produtivo, por motivos diversos que v??o da orfandade ?? mendic??ncia, passaram a ser vistos com desconfian??a e tornaram-se alvo de medidas coercitivas e que conduziam ao enclausuramento. A cria????o das casas de abrigo destinadas aos pobres, em geral de car??ter educacional para crian??as e m??dico-hospitalares para enfermos, alienados e indigentes, foi realizada a partir de um discurso filantr??pico que mascarava n??o s?? o crescimento da pobreza, como uma s??rie de inten????es segregadoras.
