The Mission of the Portuguese Augustinians to Persia and Beyond (1602-1747)
In The Mission of the Portuguese Augustinians to Persia and Beyond (1602-1747), John M. Flannery describes the establishment and activities of the Portuguese Augustinian mission in Persia. Hopes of converting the Safavid ruler of the Shi’a Muslim state would come to naught, as would the attempts of Shah ‘Abbas I to use the services of the missionaries, as representatives of the Spanish Habsburgs, to forge an anti-Ottoman alliance with the papacy and the Christian rulers of Europe. Prevented from converting Muslims, the Augustinians turned their attention to Armenian and Syriac Christians in Isfahan, later also establishing new missions among Christians in Georgia and the Mandaeans of the Basra region, all of which are described herein. The history of the Augustinian Order is generally under-represented by contrast with other Orders, and this study breaks new ground in existing scholarship.
In the Iberian Peninsula and Beyond
This book is the result of two scientific encounters hosted by the University of Évora in 2012, with the theme “Muslims and Jews in Portugal and the Diaspora. Identities and Memories (16th–17th centuries)”, and co-financed by the Foundation for Science and Technology, and by FEDER, through “Eixo I” of the “Programa Operacional Fatores de Competitividade” (POFC) of QREN (COMPETE). Beginning with an analysis of the forced conversion of Iberian Jews and Muslims, this volume examines the effects of this on their respective diasporas, focusing on a variety of approaches, from language and culture to identity discourses and interchanges between those communities.
Antiquities in Motion
An exciting new approach to understand the trade of antiquities in early modern Rome traces the journey of objects from discovery to display. Barbara Furlotti presents a dynamic interpretation of the early modern market for antiquities, relying on the innovative notion of archaeological finds as mobile items. She reconstructs the journey of ancient objects from digging sites to venues where they were sold, such as Roman marketplaces and antiquarians’ storage spaces; to sculptors’ workshops, where they were restored; and to Italian and other European collections, where they arrived after complicated and costly travel over land and sea. She shifts the attention away from collectors to peas...
Rodas Negras
Impossível registrar os incontáveis agentes anônimos que contribuíram das mais diversas formas para a preservação e transformação por que passaram as diversas práticas da cultura afro-brasileira, assim como para a transformação da imagem e identidade do Brasil ao longo do século XX. Filhos de santo, empregadas domésticas, balconistas, cozinheiros... desempregados, ritmistas, enfim, pessoas que possuíam em comum o fato de serem negros, pobres e sonhadores. Era esse o mesmo perfil dos populares que compunham o elenco dos espetáculos do Teatro Experimental do Negro, os shows de Carlos Machado, o grupo Oxumaré, ou as rodas de capoeira das festas de largo, na Bahia, o bumba meu bo...
