A um casal exemplar, meus avós, Jandyra Borsato Bonat e Pedro Bonat Sobrinho (In memorian) AGRADECIMENTOS À Professora Doutora Vânia Leite Fróes, minha estimada orientadora que me acompanha desde o mestrado. Nestes seis anos de minha formação na pós-graduação pude contar com toda a sua sabedoria, ensinamentos, direcionamentos, apoio, compreensão e amizade. Suas contribuições (desde as primeiras conversas sobre um possível projeto de doutorado em 2011) foram fundamentais para a construção e finalização deste trabalho. Creio poder afirmar que Vânia Fróes é uma professora mais que exemplar e, parafraseando os cronistas medievais, deveria servir de espelho a todos os que pretendem se dedicar ao ofício do magistério e de historiador. Ao PPGH-UFF e a CAPES, pela concessão de bolsa de doutorado e de bolsa PDSE para a realização do doutorado sanduíche em Portugal. Aos Professores Doutores Mário Jorge da Motta Bastos e Miriam Cabral Coser, que além de contribuirem de diferentes formas para minhas pesquisas desde o mestrado, participaram da banca de qualificação e defesa da tese, dedicando seu tempo à leitura do trabalho e trazendo contribuições fundamentais. Do mesmo modo, sou muito grata às Professoras Doutoras Lana Lage da Gama Lima e Marcella Lopes Guimarães, arguidoras da banca de defesa. À Professora Doutora Maria Helena da Cruz Coelho, a qual me concedeu a honra de ser supervisionada na Universidade de Coimbra por um dos maiores nomes da historiografia medieval portuguesa. Por tão gentilmente guiar-me na realização das pesquisas do doutorado sanduíche em Portugal. Às Professoras Doutoras Manuela Santos Silva e Ana Maria Rodrigues, primeiramente por seus valiosos trabalhos nas temáticas relativas ao gênero e História das Mulheres em Portugal. Por atenciosamente terem concedido seu tempo na Universidade de Lisboa para conversar sobre fontes e bibliografia relativas ao meu tema de pesquisa. Sou-lhes muito grata também pelo incentivo e apoio para a minha participação no evento internacional IV Kings and Queens Conference, sucedido na Universidade de Lisboa durante o período de meu estágio PDSE. Aos professores brasileiros que me inspiram no estudo da Idade Média desde os tempos de graduação. Em especial, a Professora Doutora Marcella Lopes Guimarães, minha orientadora de monografia na UFPR, responsável pelo início de minha paixão por Portugal medieval. Aos amigos e colegas de Portugal que me auxiliaram e contribuíram de alguma forma na realização de meu estágio de pesquisa em terras lusas: Covadonga Valdaliso, Ana Santos Leitão, Tiago Faria, Hélder Carvalhal, Francisco Marcilla, André Bertoli e Ida Camila Granja. Aos amigos e colegas do Scriptorium- UFF, fundamentais em diversos momentos durante o doutorado, principalmente após meu regresso à Curitiba. Em especial a Carolina Ferro, Tereza Rocha, Leonardo Fontes e Ieda Mello. Não posso deixar de esquecer os meus queridos Douglas Mota e Viviane Azevedo de Jesuz que, junto a mim, constituem desde os tempos do mestrado os “três mosqueteiros” do Scriptorium. A todos os amigos que compartilharam comigo as agruras e alegrias da vida acadêmica nesses anos de UFF, especialmente Renan Birro, Zé Inaldo Chaves Jr., Letícia Campos, Fernanda Haag, Aldenor Madeira Neto. Aos amigos de “sempre”, que também contribuíram nessa caminhada do doutorado, em especial Tanara, Rogério, Robson, Renata, Tamyres e Danilo. A todos que passaram por minha vida e que contribuíram de algum modo para que esse trabalho pudesse ser realizado. À minha família, minha mãe Yara, meu pai Nilo e minha irmã Cristiane. Só vocês sabem o quanto esses últimos quatro anos não foram nada fáceis, sem vocês a conclusão desse sonho não teria sido possível. Se somos uma família “exemplar” ou não, pouco importa. O que importa é o amor que nos une e sempre unirá. A quem passou a me acompanhar em terras lusas na metade do último ano de elaboração da tese e que esperamos acompanhar agora no Brasil para toda a vida. O mais inesperado e maior presente que Portugal me deu, meu noivo André Filipe Baptista. Obrigada por seu amor, sua compreensão e auxílio desde o início, obrigada por seres exatamente quem és. EPÍGRAFE A memória emerge de um grupo que ela une. Pierre Nora RESUMO Com a ascensão do bastardo régio D. João (1357-1433), Mestre de Avis, ao trono português no final do século XIV e seu casamento com a nobre inglesa D. Filipa de Lencastre (1360-1415), surgia uma nova dinastia no reino e uma nova família real. Composta pelo casal e seus seis filhos, a primeira geração da dinastia de Avis viria a ser conhecida através dos tempos pela significativa expressão de “Ínclita Geração”. A construção da imagem de uma família “exemplar” remonta ao reinado do fundador e continua ao longo do século XV, com a elaboração de todo um programa legitimador e propagandístico da nova casa real. Através da palavra, expressivamente pela elaboração de um corpo de leis, pela escrita de crônicas régias, tratados técnicos e moralísticos (compostos pelos próprios príncipes de Avis ou por servidores régios), a Casa avisina procurou afirmar seu lugar no trono luso e a incontestabilidade de seu poder. Em meio a um contexto de valorização da família conjugal pela moral cristã, a primeira geração de Avis se identificaria e se faria representar por meio de valores como virtude, devoção, lealdade, honra, amor e concórdia. Atuando na direção de uma monarquia partilhada, a família régia não ficaria incólume a reveses, conflitos e disputas políticas de seu tempo, passando por momentos difíceis que em parte fraturaram sua imagem exemplar ou a de alguns de seus membros. No entanto, a base memorialística constituída pelo casal régio D. João I e D. Filipa se manteria intocada, servindo em diferentes momentos para recuperar a imagem dos ínclitos infantes e mesmo para propagandear os reis seguintes da dinastia. Palavras-chave: Dinastia de Avis. Ínclita Geração. Representação familiar. Afirmação dinástica. ABSTRACT With the rise of the royal bastard D. João (1357-1433), Master of Avis, to the Portuguese throne in the late 14th century and his marriage to the English noble Philippa of Lancaster (1360-1415), the kingdom witnessed the beginning of a new dynasty and a new royal family. Comprised by the couple and their six children, the first generation of Avis would be known over time by the significant expression of "illustrious generation". The construction of the image of an "exemplary" family dates back to the reign of the founder and continues throughout the 15th century, with the development of an entire legitimizing and propagandist program of the new royal house. Through word, expressively by drawing up a body of law, by writing royal chronicles, technical and moral treatises (composed by Avis princes themselves or royal servants), the house of Avis sought to corroborate their place in the Portuguese throne and the undeniability of its power. In a context of appreciation of the marital family by Christian morality, the first generation of Avis would identify itself and would be represented by values such as virtue, devotion, loyalty, honor, love and concord. Working toward a shared monarchy, the royal family would not be unscathed to the setbacks and political struggles of its time, going through hard times that partly fractured its exemplary image or the image of some of its members. However, the memoirs basis constituted by the royal couple King John I and

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in English by Sara Victoria Torres 2014 © Copyright by Sara Victoria Torres 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia by Sara Victoria Torres Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Christine Chism, Co-chair Professor Lowell Gallagher, Co-chair My dissertation, “Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia,” traces the legacy of dynastic internationalism in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and early-seventeenth centuries. I argue that the situated tactics of courtly literature use genealogical and geographical paradigms to redefine national sovereignty. Before the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, before the divorce trials of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon in the 1530s, a rich and complex network of dynastic, economic, and political alliances existed between medieval England and the Iberian kingdoms. The marriages of John of Gaunt’s two daughters to the Castilian and Portuguese kings created a legacy of Anglo-Iberian cultural exchange ii that is evident in the literature and manuscript culture of both England and Iberia. Because England, Castile, and Portugal all saw the rise of new dynastic lines at the end of the fourteenth century, the subsequent literature produced at their courts is preoccupied with issues of genealogy, just rule, and political consent. Dynastic foundation narratives compensate for the uncertainties of succession by evoking the longue durée of national histories—of Trojan diaspora narratives, of Roman rule, of apostolic foundation—and situating them within universalizing historical modes.

  • Chivalry in Medieval Portugal
    Chivalry in Medieval Portugal Miguel Aguiar1 Abstract This article seeks to understand the different stages in the spread and development of chivalric ideals as a feature that marked the identity of the main socio-political groups in medieval Portugal. For this purpose, a diachronic approach is adopted, while, at the same time, a comparison is made with other European areas, especially the Iberian Christian kingdoms. The sources used for the writing of this study ranged from chronicles to genealogical literature, legislative compilations, chivalric treatises and diplomatic documents. Keywords Knight; knighthood; chivalry; aristocracy; nobility Resumo Este artigo tem como objetivo compreender as etapas de difusão e construção do ideal cavaleiresco enquanto marca identitária dos principais grupos sociopolíticos no Portugal Medieval. Para isso segue-se uma perspetiva diacrónica, mantendo igualmente uma visão comparativa com outros espaços políticos, nomeadamente os reinos cristãos peninsulares. Articular-se-á um conjunto diferenciado de fontes, englobando textos legislativos, tratadísticos, genealógicos e cronísticos. Palavras-chave Cavaleiro; cavaleiros; cavalaria; aristocracia; nobreza 1 University of Porto, Portugal. E-mail: [email protected] Aguiar Chivalry in Medieval Portugal In a letter addressed to his brother, King Duarte (r. 1433-1438), at the beginning of the 1430s, Prince João stated that the grandees of the kingdom could not be considered to be good men if they had not attained the honor of chivalry, which could be gained by performing an unquestionable feat of arms, under dangerous and even rash conditions (Livro dos Conselhos de el-rei D. Duarte: p. 47). The prince’s way of thinking provides clear evidence of how, in the fifteenth century, the chivalric spirit was considered a fundamental benchmark, not only for the monarchy and the nobility, but also for some of the urban elites that wished to rise up within the social hierarchy by undertaking armed deeds and thus adopting a lifestyle that was associated with the aristocracy.

  • António Sérgio Came from a Liberal Aristocratic Family and Both His Father and Grandfathers Had Been Sailors and Overseas Governors
    SÉRGIO [de Sousa], António (Damão, 1883 – Lisboa, 1969) António Sérgio came from a liberal aristocratic family and both his father and grandfathers had been sailors and overseas governors. He was a student at the Colégio Militar and the Escola Politécnica de Lisboa later moving to the Naval School. He became an officer in the Navy and maintained a neutral political position between the monarchy and the republic. However, he resigned from the service following the 5 October 1910 Revolution. As he had to make a living, he worked for Portuguese and Brazilian publishing houses but also studied psychology and pedagogy in Geneva with Claparède. A writer and the first to use the “essay” genre in Portugal, he was a notable figure in various fields of knowledge ranging from economics to philosophy, literature to history. He failed in his application to become an Assistant at the Faculty of Letters of the University of Lisbon in 1912 – indeed he never taught in Portuguese universities. He was Minister for Public Education (Ministro da Instrução) in 1923-24, a resistance fighter opposed to the Military Dictatorship and a conspirator against the Estado Novo. As a result he was imprisoned and also exiled on two occasions. He ran various publications for Renascença Portuguesa (Portuguese Renaissance), collaborated on Águia, Pela Grei (which he edited), Lusitania, Revista de Estudos Portugueses and later Seara Nova, which he also edited. António Sérgio wanted to be an educator and social reformer; however, he opted to study history because “to write history is a way to free ourselves from the past”, an expression taken from Goethe whom he frequently cites.

  • Illustrious Generation According to Fernando Pessoa
    Illustrious Generation According to Fernando Pessoa ( Mensagem ), the infantes sons of João I, the Rei da Boa Memoria (King of the Good Memory) and of Philippa of Lancaster, have, something special. Henrique, anticipating the times, foresees the maritime future of Portugal; Fernando has received by God the gift of the divine Grace; Pedro is honest, intelligent and fair; Duarte is wise and eloquent. However, one of them seems to be an exception: it is João, the younger one. Speaking about himself, the young prince says: Não fui alguém. Minha alma estava estreita Entre tão grandes almas minhas pares, Inutilmente eleita, Virgemmente parada; Porque é do português, pai de amplos mares, Querer, poder só isto: O inteiro mar, ou a orla vã desfeita — O todo, ou o seu nada. (Fernando Pessoa, Mensagem, As Quinas, Quarta, Dom João, infante de Portugal ) (I was nobody. My soul was limited amidst the great souls of my brothers: it was uselessly elevated, Virginally gifted; Because the Portuguese, master of wide seas, wants and can only this: The whole sea, or the vain and broken coast – All or nothing. But for the moment, everything and its opposite are not played at sea, but in Africa. Ascended the throne in 1433, Dom Duarte - in a first moment, at least- does not listen to his brother Henrique and to the other supporters of the expansion in Morocco and adopts a defensive policy. He focuses on the internal affairs of Portugal, issues some laws (Ordinaçoes de Dom Duarte , a kind of Consolidated Act and the so called Lei Mental about the revision of the royal donations to the aristocracy, for example), he writes treaties and poems.

In comatose mutants of Drosophila, a protein necessary for this specific process is malformed. That ATPase, which can be inactivated by N-ethylmaleimide, is called NSF. Before this specific process begins, Rab effectors help recruit its participants, and they are dephosphorylated and recycled once it is complete. Depending on its conformation, complexin is either an inhibitor or promoter of this process. A superfamily of proteins that facilitate this process includes syntaxin and (*) VAMP; during this process, two members of that superfamily form a four alpha-helix bundle in a process called “zippering.” James Rothman won the Nobel Prize for his investigation of this process. v- and t-SNAREs connect to begin this process, whose “kiss-and-run” type does not require clathrins for recapture.
