Correnti Della Storia
CORRENTI DELLA STORIA DOMENICO SCARLATTI (1685-1757) November’s essay deals with the life of the composer, Domenico Scarlatti, one of the most famous Baroque composers, who spent much of his life in the service of the Portuguese and Spanish royal families. Chronologically, he is classified as a Baroque composer, although his music was influential in the development of the Classical style and he was one of the few Baroque composers able to transition into the Classical period. Like his renowned father, Alessandro Scarlatti, he composed in a variety of musical forms, although today he is known primarily for his 555 keyboard sonatas, which substantially expanded the technical and musical possibilities of the harpsichord. Giuseppe Domenico Scarlatti was born in Naples on October 26, 1685 (this past Oct. 26 was the 331st anniversary of his birth), the same year as Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel. He was the sixth of ten children of the composer and teacher Alessandro Scarlatti. Domenico’s older brother Pietro Filippo Scarlatti was also a musician. Domenico most likely studied music first under his father. Other composers who were his early teachers were Gaetano Greco and Francesco Gasparini, both of whom influenced his musical style. In 1701, just before his 16th birthday, he was appointed composer and organist at the royal chapel in Naples where his father was Maestro di Cappella. In 1704, he revised Carlo Francesco Pollaro- lo’s opera Irene for performance at the Teatro San Bartolomeo in Velasco’s portrait (1739) Naples. His father soon recognized that his son’s fascination with commemorating the dubbing of Scarlatti the harpsichord would need nurturing in an artistic climate more into the Order of Santiago on April 21, 1738 by King John V of Portugal. -

Liberalism in Brazil · Econ Journal Watch
Discuss this article at Journaltalk: https://journaltalk.net/articles/6019 ECON JOURNAL WATCH 17(2) September 2020: 405–441 Liberalism in Brazil Lucas Berlanza1 LINK TO ABSTRACT Brazil is the largest country in South America and the fifth-largest in the world by area, sixth by population. It is noted for its soccer and popular celebrations. It is also known for its undeniable problems. And it is one of the most closed and regulated economies on the planet. The Economic Freedom Index published by the Fraser Institute rates 162 countries for the year 2017. In that listing, Brazil comes in 120th place (Gwartney et al. 2019, 9). Brazil was under Portugal’s power for centuries, becoming a united kingdom under a traditional monarchy in 1815. It became a constitutional monarchy after its independence in 1822; a republic controlled by oligarchies after a coup d’état in 1889; a dictatorship in the 1930s; it tried to maintain a constitutional democracy between 1946 and 1964; and it was a military regime between 1964 and 1985. Then the current democratic period began, called the New Republic. Regardless of the period, the same kinds of challenges were experienced, varying only by degree. Economic problems like inflation, public debt, and excessive regulation are a constant in Brazilian history, appearing in all of its historical periods and political regimes. Brazilian intellectuals have blamed Brazil’s troubles on several cultural char- acteristics. One of them is the prevalence of patrimonialism, a system “in which the leader organizes his political power as the exercise of his domestic management” (Medard 1991, 326).2 Brazil’s history is marked by many military coups, dictatorial cycles, and chronic economic statism. -

Architectural Temperance: Spain and Rome, 1700-1759
Architectural Temperance Spain and Rome, 1700–1759 Architectural Temperance examines relations between Bourbon Spain and papal Rome (1700–1759) through the lens of cultural politics. With a focus on key Spanish architects sent to study in Rome by the Bourbon Kings, the book also discusses the establishment of a program of architectural educa- tion at the newly-founded Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid. Victor Deupi explores why a powerful nation like Spain would temper its own building traditions with the more cosmopolitan trends associated with Rome; often at the expense of its own national and regional traditions. Through the inclusion of previously unpublished documents and images that shed light on the theoretical debates which shaped eighteenth-century architecture in Rome and Madrid, Architectural Temperance provides an insight into readers with new insights into the cultural history of early modern Spain. Victor Deupi teaches the history of art and architecture at the School of Architecture and Design at the New York Institute of Technology and in the Department of Visual and Performing Arts at Fairfield University. His research focuses on cultural politics in the early modern Ibero-American world. Routledge Research in Architecture The Routledge Research in Architecture series provides the reader with the latest scholarship in the field of architecture. The series publishes research from across the globe and covers areas as diverse as architectural history and theory, technology, digital architecture, structures, materials, details, design, monographs of architects, interior design and much more. By mak- ing these studies available to the worldwide academic community, the series aims to promote quality architectural research. -
A Marxist View of Ruination: José Saramago's Fictional Version of the Construction of Dom João V's Monastic Complex At
A Marxist view of ruination: José Saramago’s fictional version of the construction of Dom João V’s monastic complex at Mafra, Portugal Estelle Alma Maré Tshwane University of Technology, Pretoria Email: [email protected] The subject of this article is the monastic complex at Mafra, Portugal, commissioned by Dom João V (King John V, 1689-1750). An overview of the historical circumstances of the building project is followed by José Saramago’s fictive version in his novel . Saramago describes the cause of the ruination of the Portuguese nation as the king’s egotistical desire for the largest monastic complex in Christendom. Saramago’s critique of the coerced labour required to construct the extensive edifice is discussed in terms of Marxist labour theory. Key words: monastic complex at Mafra, Dom João V, Marxist labour theory, José Saramago ’n Marxistiese beskouing van ruïnering: José Saramago se fiktiewe weergawe van die konstruksie van Dom João V se monastiese kompleks by Mafra, Portugal Die onderwerp van hierdie artikel is die monastiese kompleks te Mafra, Portugal, wat vir die opdraggewer Dom João V (koning Johannes V, 1689-1750) gebou is. ’n Oorsig van die geskiedkundige konteks van die bouprojek lei die bespreking in van José Saramago se fiktiewe weergawe daarvan in sy roman . Saramago beskryf hoe die koning se egotistiese begeerte om die grootste monastiese kompleks in die Christendom te besit, die Portugese volk geruïneer het. Saramago se kritiek op die aanwending van gedwonge arbeid vir die uitgebreide bouwerk word in terme van Marxistiese arbeidsteorie bespreek. Sleutelwoorde: monastiese kompleks te Mafra, Dom João V, Marxistiese arbeidsteorie, José Saramago This article starts like a fairy tale and ends with a harsh Marxist critique. -
Father Bartholomeu Lourenço De Gusmão: a Charlatan Or the First Practical Pioneer of Aeronautics in History
Father Bartholomeu Lourenço de Gusmão: a Charlatan or the First Practical Pioneer of Aeronautics in History Francisco Videira Louro1 [email protected] Instituto Superior Técnico, 1049-001 Lisbon, Portugal The credit for the first documented ascent of a model air-balloon belongs to the Portuguese Friar Bartholomeu Lourenço de Gusmão. On August 8th, 1709, in Lisbon, Gusmão presented before the Portuguese King John V, Cardinal Conti (future Pope Innocent XIII) and the remainder of the Portuguese Court, a prototype for a flying device he had patented earlier the same year. The machine was informally baptized as Passarola (big- ungracious-bird) as a consequence of the unrealistic and bizarre bird-like drawing that Gusmão presumably leaked out to avoid pernicious curiosity about his invention. There is contemporary hearsay concerning some sort of human flight in Lisbon on Gusmão’s account. However, there is little credible evidence that he kept working on the subject after 1709 though he was kept under the King’s protection. On September 26th, 1724, after being allegedly informed by an acquaintance that the Inquisition had the intention of questioning him, he escaped to Spain under a false name and died just a few weeks later. As a result of that, he may have destroyed or hidden all of his writings. In face of the absence of any autograph manuscript concerning the flying machine, most authors tend to overlook the importance of the efforts and achievements of Bartholomeu de Gusmão. I. Introduction ather Bartholomeu Lourenço de Gusmão (1685-1724) is undoubtedly regarded as one of the most respected Ffigures of the Portuguese 18th century for his crucial role in the development of Aerostation.
