    Chapter 2 A Family of the Nação from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean and Beyond (1497–1640) James Nelson Novoa At some point in late 1595, a ship arrived in Lisbon carrying several prisoners on their way from Brazil to face trial through the tribunal of the Inquisition of Lisbon, which oversaw Portugal’s Atlantic possessions in the matters of faith. The accused were individuals who came under scrutiny in the first inquisito- rial visitation in the northeast of Brazil under Frei Heitor Furtado de Mendoça who had arrived there in June 1591. As there never was an independent tribu- nal of the Portuguese Inquisition in Brazil, it was dependent on the tribunal of Lisbon, and this visitation was the way in which the tribunal could impose orthodoxy in the overseas territory.1 Among the prisoners who arrived was a native of Porto, Bento Teixeira, who would go on to be hailed as Brazil’s first 1 On the visitation, see José Antônio Gonsalves de Mello, “Um tribunal da inquisição em Olinda, Pernambuco (1594–1595),” in Revista da Universidade de Coimbra 36 (1991): 369–74; Luiz Mott, Primeira visitação do santo ofíicio a Bahia (1591) (EDUFBA, 2010), 1–26, http:// books.scielo.org/id/yn/pdf/mott-9788523208905-03.

  • Joseph James Forrester by Andrew Shepherd1
    Joseph James Forrester by Andrew Shepherd1 Joseph James Forrester was the first foreigner to be awarded a Portuguese baronetcy. His travels throughout the Douro region meant that he came to be considered the person of his era most knowledgeable about the river and its wine. He produced two exceptional maps of the region, which have had a lasting impact. He published a pamphlet that criticised many of the practices of the port wine trade and, as a consequence, had numerous conflicts with other exporters, while receiving messages of appreciation from growers throughout the region. He was a pioneer of social-welfare activities for company workers, as well as a landscape and portrait painter and a photographer. He played a major role in overcoming the outbreak of powdery mildew that afflicted the Douro region in the 1850s. It has been said that he is the reason why the banks of the River Douro are today as productive and attractive as they are.2 Yet, strangely, Forrester has not previously featured in one of the Society’s articles. This paper sets out to redress that omission. The wine business Forrester was born of Scottish parents from Perth in Kingston upon Hull on 27 May 1809. He was the only son of Patrick Forrester, a jeweller and watchmaker, and Sarah Weddell. In 1831 he joined his uncle’s firm, Offley, Webber and Forrester, in Oporto, a firm that dated back to 1761. On the sudden death of his uncle in 1840 he became a partner with a one-quarter share of the business.

  • Raising Heirs to the Throne in Nineteenth Century Spain: the Education of the Constitutional Monarch
    2020 VII Raising Heirs to the Throne in Nineteenth Century Spain: The Education of the Constitutional Monarch Richard Meyer Forsting New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2018 Review by: Carolyn Harris Review: Raising Heirs to the Throne in Nineteenth Century Spain: The Education of the Constitutional Monarch Raising Heirs to the Throne in Nineteenth Century Spain: The Education of the Constitutional Monarch. By Richard Meyer Forsting. New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2018. ISBN: 978-3-319-75489-5. xv + 261 pp. $99.99. uring the nineteenth century, Spain experienced a period of decline. The country was ravaged by the Peninsular War (1807- 1814) then experienced a series of economic and political crises. D The century came to an end with the loss of Spain’s last overseas possessions in the Caribbean and Pacific regions during the Spanish-American War (1898). During this period, Spain appeared to focus almost exclusively on its own domestic concerns compared to the degree of engagement with the wider world that took place in previous centuries. As a result, Spain often receives little attention in wider histories of nineteenth-century Europe. In Raising Heirs to the Throne in Nineteenth Century Spain, Richard Meyer Forsting shows how popular debates concerning the education of the heir to the throne in a constitutional monarchy demonstrate that Spain had not turned inward but continued to engage with the wider intellectual currents of nineteenth-century Europe. Forsting connects the educations of three nineteenth-century Spanish monarchs, Isabel II (r. 1833-1868), Alfonso XII (r. 1874-1885) and Alfonso XIII (r. 1886-1931) to the wider political and cultural trends of the era.

    MILITARY HABITUS AND NETWORKS IN PRINCE ALFONSO DE BORBÓN EDUCATION (1857-1874)1 RICHARD M. FORSTING University of St. Andrews [email protected] ABSTRACT: This article analyses the relationship between the monarchy and the army by examining the military education received by Prince Alfonso. The aim is two- fold: to gauge the political importance of the military habitus instilled in Alfon- so in pursuit of army support to consolidate the monarchy, and to assess the in- fluence of military networks in the prince’s close circle in order to determine the extent to which their behaviour was similar to that of other factions at court. KEYWORDS: Alfonso XII – Court – Networks – Army – Education – Restora- tion – Cánovas del Castillo HABITUS MILITAR Y REDES CASTRENSES EN TORNO A LA EDU- CACIÓN DEL PRÍNCIPE ALFONSO DE BORBÓN (1857-1874) RESUMEN: Este artículo trata de analizar la relación entre la corona y el ejército a partir de la educación militar recibida por el príncipe Alfonso. El objetivo es doble. Por un lado, se pretende calibrar la importancia política del habitus militar en el que se formó Alfonso en la búsqueda del apoyo del ejército para la consolidación del trono. Por otro, se quiere conocer el grado de influencia de las redes militares en el entorno del príncipe para saber hasta qué punto su conducta fue semejante a la de otros grupos de presión cortesanos.

  • DENIS, Jean Ferdinand (Paris, 1798 - Paris, 1890)
    DENIS, Jean Ferdinand (Paris, 1798 - Paris, 1890) Ferdinand Denis was the son of Joseph-André Denis, a French civil servant whose mastery of languages had a great influence on his son. His father held the post of sworn interpreter at the Conseil des Prises Maritimes and, intermittently, in the political section of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs (headed at that time by Talleyrand). Denis studied Turkish at home in order to prepare himself to try to enter the École des Jeunes de Langues (future School of Oriental Languages). He did not win a place either in 1810 or in 1813. Léon Bourdon, one of his biographers, mentions that although the Denis family had limited financial resources, at that time they lived on the aristocratic Left Bank of the Seine (Léon Bourdon, Lettres familières et Fragment du Journal intime de Ferdinand Denis à Bahia..., 1957, pp. 145-148). His father had a library that was well stocked with works of the Enlightenment. He also received both men of letters and of science, among whom was the Portuguese poet Filinto Elísio, who, according to Bourdon, gave the young Ferdinand Portuguese lessons. His intellectual training as a self-taught man of letters was marked by the confluence of different disciplines (including literature, history, geography, ethnography and linguistics), which was much in tune with the spirit of the age, and resulted in a wide-ranging critical perspective of the culture of his time. As has been mentioned elsewhere, although Denis was “destined for a diplomatic career, he preferred to study languages and to travel the World”, typical passions of the Romantic man although not very profitable in the short and medium term (A.

  • Around a Theme. the Female Community of the Order of St. James in Portugal: a Journey from the Late 15Th Century to the 16Th Century.1
    Around a theme. The female community of the Order of St. James in Portugal: a journey from the late 15th century to the 16th century.1 Joel Silva Ferreira Mata Universidade Lusíada do Porto [email protected] Abstract The study of the religious women of the Order of St. James in Portugal during the period mentioned in the title of this paper is intended to show the way in which they observed the vows that they had taken when they donned their habits, how they lived inside the monastery, how they administered their property, how they related to civil society, and how they adapted to the new times brought by modernity. Although the Master of the order Dom Jorge, drew attention in the early 16th century to the fact that the doors of the monastery should not be opened to women who were not related to the male branch of the Order i.e. relatives of the friar-knights: daughters, wives or widows, documentation reveals that some of the religious women did not belong to the relatives of the members of the Order. Furthermore, it is interesting to understand the mechanisms that led to the donning of the habit. These women lived in a monastic house which was consecrated by the Monastery of Santos, although, over the course of the Middle Ages, they changed quarters at least twice. During the period covered by this study, they were always supervised by a woman belonging to the family of the Master Dom Jorge. With this study, we can gain a better knowledge of a community that existed in Portugal from the late 12th century onwards.

    Juana of Austria: Courtly ROSA HELENA Spain and Devotional CHINCHILLA Expression Dans la péninsule ibérique, le rôle de mécène culturel joué par l’infante Juana d’Autriche se signale par l’esprit de liberté et de tolérance qu’elle sut imposer pour mettre un terme aux persécutions dont souffraient certains écrivains tels François Borgia et Jorge de Montemayor. Par cette protection, elle infl uença l’esthétique de cour en l’orientant vers une plus forte et nouvelle dévotion. s regent of Spain from 1554 to 1559, when her brother Phillip left to Aseek the thrones of England or Flanders, the Infanta Juana of Austria (1535–1575) zealously encouraged her courtiers to infuse religion into court- ly life.1 Youngest daughter of Charles V and Isabel of Portugal, Juana wed Prince João of Portugal in 1552, and after his death in 1554 she gave birth to the future king of Portugal, Sebastian. In her court Juana patronized men of letters, most prominently Fray Luis de Granada, Francis Borgia, and Jorge de Montemayor, whose writings propagated the idea of religious reform. Al- though at the end of Juana’s regency such religious thinkers were persecuted by the Inquisition, they impacted the literary milieu in spite of the Inquisi- tion’s prohibitions, and the ideas of their literary contributions slowly became the norm. The ideal Juana achieved as pious and sober regent infl uenced the courts of Isabel de Valois and Ana of Austria, third and fourth wives of Phil- lip II of Spain, as well as Phillip himself and his eldest daughter the Infanta Clara Eugenia, later regent of Flanders.

  • Community Formation Among Recent Immigrant Groups in Porto, Portugal
    Community Formation among Recent Immigrant Groups in Porto, Portugal By James Beard A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Stanley Brandes, Chair Professor Laura Nader Professor Alex Saragoza Summer 2017 Abstract Community Formation among Recent Immigrant Groups in Porto, Portugal by James Beard Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology University of California, Berkeley Professor Stanley Brandes, Chair The last decade has seen a dramatic increase in migration to Europe, primarily by refugees fleeing conflict in the Middle East and Central Asia, but with significant flows of refugees and other migrants from North and sub-Saharan Africa as well. Portugal is not among the primary European destinations for refugees or immigrants; possibly, in part, because there are fewer migrants in Portugal, it is an E.U. country where new arrivals are still met with a degree of enthusiasm. Hard right, anti-immigrant parties—on the rise in other parts of the E.U.— have not gained much traction in Portugal. This work looks at the relative invisibility of immigrants in Porto, the country’s second largest city, which may make those immigrants a less visible target for intolerance and political opportunism, but may also impede a larger, more self- determinant role for immigrants and their communities in greater Portuguese society. A major contributing factor to immigrant invisibility is the absence (outside of Lisbon and southern Portugal) of neighborhoods where African immigrants are concentrated. In Porto, communities do not form around geography; instead, communities form around institutions.
