  • Criacao E Programacao CILC Macau.Pdf
    INTRODUÇÃO Este trabalho de projecto, intitulado “Proposta de Criação e Programação do Centro de Interpretação Luís de Camões em Macau”, incide nos valores patrimoniais associados à permanência do poeta português naquele território, os quais se materializam no bem cultural designado por “Gruta de Camões”. Este monumento, que se encontra no interior do Jardim Luís de Camões daquela cidade, é constituído por três grandes penedos em forma de dólmen, os quais abrigam um busto em bronze do poeta, da autoria do escultor Bordalo Pinheiro. Terá sido neste local que, alegadamente, o vate terá permanecido por um período de dois anos - no Século XVI - e onde terá redigido, parcialmente, aquela que é considerada como uma das obras-primas da literatura, Os Lusíadas. Embora a questão da sua estadia se revista de alguma polémica e tenha motivado ao longo dos tempos discussões infindáveis e inconclusivas entre investigadores, académicos e entusiastas da temática camoniana, uns afirmando que se trata de um facto histórico, outros relegando o episódio para a categoria de mito, lenda e/ou tradição, a sua relevância histórica e cultural constitui um facto incontestável. Por conseguinte, aquela determinou as diversas transformações que foram operadas no monumento (e a sua própria classificação enquanto tal), a partir do Século XVIII e que se alargaram, gradualmente e em diversos períodos, à área envolvente: à Casa Garden, palacete que integrava a propriedade onde se encontrava a Gruta e ao próprio jardim. Por outro lado, essa significância histórica e cultural foi também responsável pela valorização da carga simbólica do monumento – que desempenha um papel fundamental para a comunidade macaense e portuguesa residente -, a qual foi fortalecida com a romagem cívica aos penedos de Camões, instituída a 10 de Junho de 1923 pelo Governador Rodrigo Rodrigues.

    ATRIUM COLABORARAM NESTE NÚMERO Contributors to this Issue RC, n.° 16, IIIa Série, 4.° Trimestre 2005 RC, no. 16, IIIrd Series, 4th Quarter 2005 TEXTO Texts Ana Maria Amaro David Brookshaw Jin Guo Ping Maria João Pacheco Ferreira Oswaldo da Veiga Jardim Neto Wu Zhiliang Yang Renfei TRADUÇÃO Translation PHILOS - Comunicação Global, Lda. (Português-Inglês e Inglês-Português) REVISÃO Proofreading Chao Siu Fu (Chinês), Luís Ferreira (Português), Design Victor Hugo Marreiros Cathryn Hope Clayton (Inglês) AGRADECIMENTOS A NOSSA CAPA Acknowledgements Em todo o mundo a criação e gostos musicais no seio de uma comunidade são componente importante Livros do Oriente da identidade cultural dessa comunidade. Assim é no caso de Macau, mais propriamente, Museu de Aveiro da cultura macaense – e nesta proposição se inspira a capa de Victor Hugo Marreiros. Revista de Cultura Museu de Macau apresenta um extenso trabalho, baseado numa tese de mestrado do maestro Oswaldo Veiga Jardim, dedicado à história das bandas militares e municipais de Macau (1820-1835). O artigo é complementado com a publicação comentada de um fac-símile do manuscrito original do Macao Hymno, de Melchor Vela, compositor “macaense” nado espanhol, e uma versão modernizada da partitura, documento revelador dos instrumentos musicais usados à época. Da identidade e memória de Macau trata também um artigo que revela e analisa, pela primeira vez, à luz da antropologia cultural, o vasto espólio de um médico aveirense, que aqui viveu e trabalhou nas primeiras décadas do século XX, recentemente colocado à disposição do público no Museu de Aveiro. Esta edição inclui ainda uma secção de Historiografia, fundamentalmente baseada em fontes chinesas que tenta desmistificar o “boato histórico” (para usar a expressão dos autores) sobre alegados actos de antropofagia dos portugueses de quinhentos na demanda do Sul da China.
