A Gil Vicente Bibliography (2005–2015)
This is a compilation of contributions to the study of the Portuguese playwright Gil Vicente (1465–1536) which appeared between 2005 and 2015. Entries are grouped under three main headings: Editions and Adaptations, Translations, and Critical Studies. The scholarly interest in the father of the Portuguese theater continues unabated, as it can be seen in the great numbers of scholarly works, both editorial and critical, which appeared in the decade under question. The modest aim of this work is to alert scholars as to which of Gil Vicente’s works have not received adequate critical attention. New names are constantly added to the list of established vicentistas and new ways of looking at the dramatist’s works are introduced.
Cultures of Diplomacy and Literary Writing in the Early Modern World
This interdisciplinary edited collection explores the relationship between literature and diplomacy in the early modern world and studies how texts played an integral part in diplomatic practice.
Gil Vicente
Gil Vicente constitui uma das pedras angulares do cânone literário ibérico. Nessa medida, vem inspirando uma atenção regular por parte da crítica e da história literária, pelo menos desde finais do século xix. O presente volume integra contributos de reputados vicentistas de diferentes gerações e países. Para além de constituir uma panorâmica ampla e articulada do que até hoje se apurou sobre os mais importantes aspetos respeitantes ao conhecimento de Gil Vicente (vida, obra, modelos, géneros, referências estéticas, etc.), o Compêndio inclui ainda estudos sobre alguns dos projetos de investigação que se encontram em curso, em âmbitos tão diversos como a crítica textual, as artes cénicas ou a cultura de corte.
Poets, Patronage, and Print in Sixteenth-century Portugal
Portugal was not always the best place for poets in the sixteenth century. Against the backdrop of an expanding empire, the country's annexation by Spain in 1580, and ongoing religious controversy, poets struggled to articulate their worth to rulers and patrons. This did not prevent them, however, from persisting in their craft. Indeed, many of their works reflected precisely on the question of what poetry could do and what, ultimately, its value was. The answers that poets like Luís de Camões, Francisco de Sá de Miranda, António Ferreira, and Diogo Bernardes offered to these questions, and which are explored in this book, ranged from lofty ideals to the more practical concerns of making...
Remembering World War II Refugees in Contemporary Portugal
This book takes an innovative approach to the study of memories of transit and exile in Portugal between 1933 and 1945 in artistic media. Informed by contemporary debates within memory and translation studies, it develops a translational perspective on transcultural memory and explores its ethical implications. This study provides an in-depth analysis of Daniel Blaufuks’s inter-art project Sob Céus Estranhos, Domingos Amaral’s novel Enquanto Salazar Dormia and João Canijo’s documentary Fantasia Lusitana. It examines the heterocultural networks of signification that these artistic media mobilize to implicate the presence of World War II refugees in Portugal in contemporary negotiations of communality. By approaching memory through a translational lens on culture, this book also offers new perspectives on remediation, memory transfer and the ethical dimensions of remembrance in the context of transcultural memory and migration.
Black Africans in Renaissance Europe
This highly original book opens up the almost entirely neglected area of the black African presence in Western Europe during the Renaissance. Covering history, literature, art history and anthropology, it investigates a whole range of black African experience and representation across Renaissance Europe, from various types of slavery to black musicians and dancers, from real and symbolic Africans at court to the views of the Catholic Church, and from writers of African descent to Black African criminality. Their findings demonstrate the variety and complexity of black African life in fifteenth and sixteenth-century Europe, and how it was affected by firmly held preconceptions relating to the African continent and its inhabitants, reinforced by Renaissance ideas and conditions. Of enormous importance both for European and American history, this book mixes empirical material and theoretical approaches, and addresses such issues as stereotypes, changing black African identity, and cultural representation in art and literature.
A Universidade de Coimbra e o Brasil: percurso iconobibliográfico
"O Brasil é um país fascinante. A música, as paisagens, a diversidade das gentes, a alegria, a imensidão, tudo nos consegue encantar. Sem o Brasil a lusofonia seria um fenómeno "local"; com o contributo inestimável deste grande país ela é uma estrela mundial em ascensão. A Universidade de Coimbra (UC) teve uma importância decisiva na formação do Brasil. Foi em Coimbra que estudou quase toda a elite brasileira envolvida na independência do seu país. José Bonifácio de Andrade e Silva, o "patriarca da independência", foi inclusivamente professor em Coimbra. No mundo global em que vivemos, todas as sociedades têm de olhar para o planeta no seu conjunto e não apenas para a sua ...
