Redalyc. O Príncipe Disfarçado No Teatro Romanesco De Gil Vicente

Acta Scientiarum. Language and Culture ISSN: 1983-4675 [email protected] Universidade Estadual de Maringá Brasil Nepomuceno, Luís André O príncipe disfarçado no teatro romanesco de Gil Vicente Acta Scientiarum. Language and Culture, vol. 39, núm. 3, july-september, 2017, pp. 263-272 Universidade Estadual de Maringá Maringá, Brasil Available in: http://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=307452897004 Abstract From 1521, Gil Vicente renounces his religious theater to dedicate himself to profane and allegorical motifs, beginning a new stage in his career. Moved by the perusal of chivalric romances that spread throughout the Peninsula, the dramatist composed a series of at least four pieces dedicated to D. João III, in which the central (or circumstantial) motif is the disguise of a prince in the lower classes, along with the following disclosure of his noble nature. Analyzing a specific corpus of the Vicentian theater (the pieces Rubena, Viúvo, Amadis de Gaula and Dom Duardos), the present paper tries to explain the historical motifs that permeate the theme of the ‘disguised prince’, considering the program of eulogy of the monarchy proposed by Gil Vicente, as well as an analysis of the nature of the humanist love spread by 16th century poets and philosophers. The disguise in the lower classes reveals the aristocratic essence of the courtesan, but also the ritualistic experience in the trajectory of the spiritualized love. Keywords Court theater, humanism, chivalric romances, Portuguese Renaissance.

Spanish Viplence in the Theatre of Gil Vicente
Spanish Viplence in the Theatre ofGil Vicente Maria Dodman fOrk University One of the noted accomplisments ofthe Portuguese dramatist, Gil Vicente, has been his ability to portray 16th century Iberian societ;y. Indeed, most critics have pointed out this feature as well as Vicente's sharp criticism, especially towards the clergy and the nobility. In terms of violence, the Portuguese playwright lived through one of the most agitated and violent periods in Portuguese history. The violence that characterized the encounters with others in the new worlds, the violence ofthe Inquisition and the violence toward the Jews. Regarding the latter, Gil Vicente was one ofthe few who condemned such violent behaviour and advocated for kindness and tolerancel . Vicente also lived in a court where the presence ofthe Spanish was part ofdaily.affairs. At the service ofa bilingual court, the Portuguese playwright, like many of his contemporaries, and in addition to his Portuguese works, also wrote many bilingual and Spanish texts. For a writer who constantly critized the vanities and excesses ofthe clergy and the nobility, it should come as no surprise that he extends his criticism to the neighbouring Spain. Thus, the goal ofthis article is to examine the theme ofviolence within the portrayal ofthe Spanish" in vicentine theatre. Generally speaking, his views of the Spanish are, for the most part, negative. Several examples are found throughout his works. 1 Such are the contents of the letter to king Dom Joao III regarding the earthquake ofJarlUary 26th, 1531, and the subsequent events ofhatred towards the Jews (479-482). 80 MARlA DODMAN Essentially, the Spanish just do not measure up to the Portuguese.

Hominum Genus in Peregrinatione Natum: Gypsies in Renaissance and Counter-Reformation Sources
Armando Senra MARTINS UDC: 94(=214.58)(4) University of Évora University of Lisbon, Centre for Classical Studies [email protected] HOMINUM GENUS IN PEREGRINATIONE NATUM: GYPSIES IN RENAISSANCE AND COUNTER-REFORMATION SOURCES Аbstract: The appearance of Gypsies in Western Europe prompted chroniclers and other writers of the Renaissance to represent them and thus construct the stereotypes associated with this ethnic group. After a brief examination of some Renaissance sources concerning Gypsies, three texts, are examined: a play by the Portuguese author, Gil Vicente, Auto de hũas Ciganas; an excerpt from Disquisitiones Magicae, a doctrinal treatise of the Flemish- Spanish Jesuit, Martin Delrio; and an excerpt from Miscelanea, a dialogue of the Portuguese Leitão de Andrada (sixteenth/seventeenth cents.). The texts were chosen on the basis of their differences: they span across almost one century (1521–1617), from Renaissance (Vicente) to Counter-Reformation (Delrio and Andrada) and, moreover, they are quite different as to their literary genre. Analysis shall concentrate not only on the identification of stereotypes about Gypsies but also on the uses of those stereotypes as well as ascertain the evolution from attitudes towards Gypsies from Renaissance to Counter-Reformation.1 Keywords: Gypsies, Renaissance, Counter-Reformation, Gil Vicente, Martin Delrio, Leitão de Andrada, ethnicity, migration, alterity. s early as the fifteenth century Western European authors seem to perceive in Gypsies2 the very condition of a migrant people – a perception clearly expressed in Athe words of the German chronicler, Albert Krantz: hominum genus in peregrinatione natum (a race of people wanderers from birth). We shall analyse in this paper three different sources on Gypsies ranging from Renaissance to Counter-Reformation: a play from the Portuguese playwright Gil Vicente; a section of a treatise on magic from Martin Delrio; and finally a dialogue from the Portuguese writer Leitão de Andrada.

Vilancicos De Negro: the Meeting-Point Between Afro-Portuguese and Baroque Church Music
Vilancicos de Negro: the meeting-point between Afro-Portuguese and Baroque church music Ana R. Luís* & Paulo Estudante** 1. INTRODUCTION In the historical archives of the Biblioteca Geral da Universidade de Coimbra, a collection of music manuscripts, dating from the middle of the 17th century, offers a probably unexpected combination of Baroque church music and Afro- Portuguese. Among these manuscripts are several Vilancicos de Negro – a very popular music genre of the Baroque period sung entirely in Língua de Preto. In Portugal, Língua de Preto was made notable by the 16th century Portuguese playwright Gil Vicente (1465-1536?), which explains why previous studies on Língua de Preto are almost entirely based on Vicente’s texts (Teyssier 1959, Kihm&Rougé 2013). The Coimbra manuscripts promise to shed new light on this literary representation of Afro-Portuguese. In particular, because they challenge the traditional view that Língua de Preto was an entirely 16th century phenomenon (Teyssier 2005). However, the existence of lyrics in Língua de Preto strongly indicates that, after Vicente’s plays were no longer performed at the king’s court, Língua de Preto was incorporated into the Catholic liturgy as the language of a quite specific music genre, known as Vilancicos de Negro. The well-documented fact that hundreds of Vilancicos de Negro were effectively sung and performed during the 17th century lends further support to our claim. Although Vilancicos de Negro are an integral part of Portuguese culture, it is surprising that a thorough examination of their lyrics and scores has never been undertaken. A multidisciplinary project is therefore underway at the University of Coimbra with the aim of examining what this new evidence can tell us about language contact and musicology.

The Mixed Identity of the Catholic Religion in the Texts Translated by the Jesuit Priest Jose De Anchieta in 16Th Century Brazil
TRANS · núm. 12 · 2008 este artículo estudia las marcas de catolicismo encontradas en DoSSieR · 67-79 la traducción de textos religiosos por el misionero jesuita José de Anchieta (1534-1597) en Brasil durante el siglo xvi. el estudio muestra cómo Anchieta empleó en sus traducciones términos del mundo espiritual de los indios Tupi como «equivalentes» de terminos cristianos para evangelizar pero no buscó entender su significado profundo. Se establece un paralelismo entre la voluntad de Anchieta de mezclar términos cristianos con conceptos del mundo espiritual de los indios brasileños, y la «equivalencia dinámica» de eugene Nida así como los conceptos de «naturalización» y «extranjerización» de Lawrence Venuti. el artículo termina examinando las obras de Anchieta y los asentamientos religiosos conocidos como Santidades estrechamente vinculados con la identidad católica híbrida predicada por los jesuitas. paLaBras cLaves: José de Anchieta, aculturación, inculturación.

The mixed identity of the Catholic religion in the texts translated by the Jesuit priest Jose de Anchieta in 16th century Brazil This article will examine the characteristics of the Catholicism found in the translation of religious texts by the Jesuit missionary José de Anchieta (1534-1597) in Brazil in the 16th century. The study will show that Anchieta used terms from the spiritual world of the Tupi indians in his translations as «equivalents» for Christian terms as a way of introducing Christianity but made no attempt to understand the deeper meaning of these terms. We make a parallel of Anchieta’s readiness to mix Christian Catholic terms and concepts from the spiritual world of the Brazilian indians with the «dynamic equivalence» found in the work of eugene Nida and the concepts of domestication and foreignization found in the work of Lawrence Paulo edson Alves Filho Venuti.

The 1531 Lisbon Earthquake and Tsunami
The 1531 Lisbon earthquake and tsunami J. Miranda, J. Batlló, H. Ferreira, L. M. Matias Instituto Dom Luiz, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal M. A. Baptista Instituto Superior da Universidade de Lisboa, IDL, Lisboa, Portugal SUMMARY: The 26 January 1531 earthquake heavily impacted Lisbon according to the coeval sources and archaeological remnants. The earthquake, and in particular the claimed tsunami, were not so far the subject of a quantitative study. This event is thought to be the one of the biggest in Lisbon history. The observations indicate that the water disturbance was preceded by the shock and flooding of the river banks. We present a re-appraisal of the written information and the main results of the archaeological studies. Macroseismic data is re-analysed and a new isoseismal map is presented. Finally, we investigate the water disturbance observed in the estuary to establish the occurrence of a tsunami event. Our conclusions point to the fact that a tsunami was observed along the estuary but it did not affect the city of Lisbon. This study is a contribution to the seismic and tsunami risk assessment in Lisbon. Keywords: earthquake, tsunami, estuary, Lisbon 1. INTRODUCTION The establishment of the scientific knowledge concerning the 1531 event has an unusual story: in the aftermath of the 1909 earthquake Osorio (1919), a Portuguese scholar, found in a Lisbon bookshop a copy of a four page letter addressing the Marquis of Tarifa (Spain) describing the large earthquake that took place in Lisbon in the year of 31. Osorio (1919) concluded that it related to a disastrous earth- quake on January, 26 1531.

181 a Companion to Portuguese Literature. Edited by Stephen
A Companion to Portuguese Literature. Edited by Stephen Parkinson, Cláu- dia Pazos Alonso, and T. F. Earle. Woodbridge, UK: Tamesis, 2009. A Companion to Portuguese Literature is a remarkably inspired and personal- ized introduction to the unattainable task of contextualizing perfectly the total- ity of Portuguese literary history. Comprising significant improvements and complements to the 1932 classic Portuguese Literature by Aubrey Bell and the more recent A Revisionary History of Portuguese Literature, edited by Miguel Tamen and Helena C. Buescu (Garland Publishing, 1999), A Companion to Portuguese Literature is unabashedly canonical yet revisionary, at once unas- sumingly authoritative and entertaining, resourceful and pleasantly concise. The Companion opens with a masterful 24-page overview by scholar, novelist, and poet Helder Macedo covering eight centuries of Portuguese lit- erature, followed by eleven chapters contributed by other specialists in each of their respective fields. The canonical authors and texts from the twelfth to the twentieth century are presented chronologically, and three additional chapters survey the literary landscape from modernism through contemporary times. The Companion concludes with an invaluable review of “Portuguese Litera- ture in English Translation,” and each chapter is referenced to works cited and includes recommendations for further reading. Each scholar’s personal style and critical approach to the text is woven seamlessly into a tightly organized whole. The diversity in analytical styles may be observed in the first two chapters by comparing the close reading of “Medieval Portuguese-Galician Lyric” (by Rip Cohen and Stephen Parkinson) with the historical reading of “Fernão Lopes and the Portuguese Prose Writ- ing of the Middle Ages” (by Parkinson).
