Seus romances, contos e peças teatrais dialogam amiúde com a literatura e com a história portuguesas. O objetivo desta dissertação é analisar a peça de sua autoria, O Casamento de D. Manuel I (2004), e estabelecer relações intertextuais com seus paradigmas ficcionais, ou seja, os romances históricos Crônica esquecida D’El Rei D. João II (1998), de Seomara da Veiga Ferreira e A Sala das Perguntas (1998), de Fernando Campos. Esta análise foi fundamentalmente baseada nos estudos de Flávia Maria Corradin em seu livro Antônio José da Silva, o Judeu: textos versus (con)textos (1998). A análise engloba também a relação entre a obra teatral estudada e o período histórico que a ela se refere, no caso, o reinado de D. Manuel I e a áurea época dos descobrimentos, quando Portugal se tornou potência ultramarina e vanguardista nas grandes navegações. A dissertação mostra a representação mental do monarca construída por alguns historiadores renomados e também pelo cronista oficial do rei, Damião de Góes, na Crônica do felicíssimo Rei D. Emmanuel, e os confronta com o perfil criado pelo dramaturgo para sua personagem. Damião de Góes também é importante personagem da peça e sua criação também é discutida no trabalho. Por meio da análise intertextual observa-se que tipo de relação existe entre a peça e seus paradigmas, bem como os elementos ficcionais e históricos que ajudaram o dramaturgo a compor sua trama e criar suas personagens, destacando em seu trabalho o tempo histórico e a realidade que deseja representar, mediante sua própria visão ideológica, o que resultou em sua premiada peça teatral. Palavras-chave: D. Manuel I de Portugal. Manuel Córrego. Teatro Histórico Português. Intertextualidade. ABSTRACT The study of Manuel Córrego´s (1932) work is unplublished in academic fields. His romances, tales and plays talk frequently with Portuguese literature and history. The objective of this dissertation is to analyze one of his plays, O Casamento de D. Manuel I (2004), and establish inter textual relationships with his fictional paradigms, in other words, historical romances, such as, Crônica esquecida D’El Rei D. João II (1998), by Seomara da Veiga Ferreira and A Sala das Perguntas (1998), by Fernando Campos. This analysis was fundamentally based on Flávia Maria Corradin´s studies in her book Antônio José da Silva, o Judeu: textos versus (con)textos (1998). The analysis also includes the relation between the studied play and the referred historical period, in this case, D. Manuel I´s reign and the discoveries golden era, when Portugal became an overseas power and avant-garde in navigations. This dissertation shows the monarch´s mental representation build by some renowned historians and also by the king´s official chronicler, Damião de Góes, in Crônica do felicíssimo Rei D. Emmanuel, and confronts them with the profile created by the dramatist for his character. Damião de Góes is also an important character of the play and his creation in also discussed in this work. Through intertextual analysis, we can visualize what kind of relationship exists between the play and its paradigms, and also fictional and historical elements that helped the dramatist to compose his plot and create his characters, highlighting in his work the historical period and the reality that he wanted to represent, by his own ideological vision, that resulted in his awarded play. Key-words: D. Manuel I of Portugal, Manuel Córrego. Historic Theater Portuguese, Intertextuality.

    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.

  • Portuguese Family Names
    Portuguese Family Names GERALD M. MOSER 1 Point Cabrillo reflects the Spanish spelling of the nickname of J oao Rodrigues Oabrilho - "the I(id," perhaps a play on words, if the Viscount De Lagoa was correct in assuming that this Portuguese navigator was born in one of the many villages in Portugal called Oabril (Joao Rodrigues Oabrilho, A Biographical Sketch, Lisbon, Agencia Geral do mtramar, 1957, p. 19). 2 Oastroville, Texas, -- there is another town of the same name in California - was named after its founder, Henry Oastro, a Portuguese Jew from France, who came to Providence, R.I., in 1827. From there he went to Texas in 1842, launching a colonization scheme, mainly on land near San Antonio. I came upon the story in the Genealogy Department of the Dallas Public Library, on the eve of reading to the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese a paper on "Cultural Linguistics: The Case of the Portuguese Family Names" (December 28, 1957). The present article is an enlarged version of that paper. 30 38 Gerald M.

These peculiar devotional names are not used as first names in Portugal, although some of them are commonly used thus in Spain.

Despite the decree of ex - pulsion, the Portuguese Jews, as is now well known, were practically all forced to convert to Christianity. the historical significance of this event cannot be underestimated. at one stroke, Portugal be ca - me the first Christian kingdom since the Visigothic period (aD 507- -711) to forcibly convert its Jewish population en masse and, at the same time, also became the first Christian kingdom to ever expel its Muslim population en bloc . 1 the persecution of the Portuguese Jews in 1497 remains a fas - cinating if somewhat grim episode in Portugal’s history . 2 Its reper - cussions extended far beyond the Iberian Peninsula. a list of perse - cutions of german Jews, drawn up by an anonymous ashkenazi Jew in the first half of the sixteenth century, contains the following reference to the Portuguese persecution: at the beginning of the year 5258 [1497] rumours came of a decree of forced conversion in the lands of Portugal. all, young and old, were forced to convert from Judaism, and to mingle [among the non-Jews].

From Portuguese India to Brazil The biggest enterprise a Christian prince ever had in his hands: to conquer and conserve territories in the Indian Ocean in the times of Machiavelli1 Ângela Barreto Xavier[1] Abstract Can we establish connections between the theoretical thinking of Machiavelli about the conquest and conservation of territories and the actions of Afonso de Albuquerque in the territories of the Indian Ocean (described in an intense correspondence between him and the king D. Manuel I of Portugal)? In this essay, I try to answer this question by adopting a transnational perspective of the political and intellectual dynamics of the early-modern period. This approach enables me to identify the common cultural background among the political elites from Southern Europe in the 16th century, and helps to explain the existence of interesting continuities between Albuquerque and Machiavelli.

    THE VILLANCICOS DE NEGROS IN MANUSCRIPT 50 OF THE BIBLIOTECA GERAL DA UNIVERSIDADE DE COIMBRA: A CASE STUDY OF BLACK CULTURAL AGENCY AND RACIAL REPRESENTATION IN 17TH-CENTURY PORTUGAL Joana Luís Alves Simão A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC May 2017 Committee: Arne Spohr, Advisor Sidra Lawrence Mary Natvig © 2017 Joana Luís Alves Simão All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Arne Spohr, Advisor The development of Renaissance Portugal was greatly impacted by the transatlantic slave trade during the colonial period, as the country emerged as a major European power not only financially but also culturally. It is well known that Portuguese musical practices during this period, especially with regard to sacred polyphony, resembled those of other European cultures, however, there is more to this narrative. Knowing that the transatlantic slave trade was one of the major consequences of colonialism, and that by the 16th-century Black Africans represented more than 10% of the population in Lisbon and other cities in Portugal makes it crucial to consider Black Africans as major agents of cultural transfer. As the groundbreaking work of historians Kate Lowe, A. C. de C. M. Saunders and José Tinhorão demonstrates, the presence of Africans had a significant impact on Portuguese social and cultural life. Contemporary written and visual sources (such as paintings) demonstrate that, for instance, music from sub-Saharan Africa was performed in a variety of situations and on different levels of society: in the squares and taverns of early modern Lisbon, in religious processions around the country, and at the Portuguese court.

  • Portuguese Empire During the Period 1415-1663 and Its Relations with China and Japan – a Case of Early Globalization
    JIEB-6-2018 Portuguese empire during the period 1415-1663 and its relations with China and Japan – a case of early globalization Pavel Stoynov Sofia University, Bulgaria Abstract. The Portuguese Colonial Empire, was one of the largest and longest-lived empires in world history. It existed for almost six centuries, from the capture of Ceuta in 1415, to the handover of Portuguese Macau to China in 1999. It is the first global empire, with bases in North and South America, Africa, and various regions of Asia and Oceania(Abernethy, 2000). The article considers the contacts between Portugal, China and Japan during the first imperial period of Portuguese Empire (1415-1663). Keywords: Portuguese Colonial Empire, China, Japan Introduction The Portuguese Colonial Empire, was one of the largest and longest-lived empires in world history. It existed for almost six centuries, from the capture of Ceuta in 1415, to the handover of Portuguese Macau to China in 1999. It is the first global empire, with bases in North and South America, Africa, and various regions of Asia and Oceania(Abernethy, 2000). After consecutive expeditions to south along coasts of Africa, in 1488 Bartolomeu Dias rounded the Cape of Good Hope, and in 1498 Vasco da Gama reached India. Over the following decades, Portuguese sailors continued to explore the coasts and islands of East Asia, establishing forts and factories as they went. By 1571 a string of naval outposts connected Lisbon to Nagasaki along the coasts of Africa, the Middle East, India and South Asia. This commercial network and the colonial trade had a substantial positive impact on Portuguese economic growth (1500–1800), when it accounted for about a fifth of Portugal's per-capita income (Wikipedia, 2018).

  • Colonialism and Imperialism, 1450-1950 by Benedikt Stuchtey
    Colonialism and Imperialism, 1450-1950 by Benedikt Stuchtey The colonial encirclement of the world is an integral component of European history from the Early Modern Period to the phase of decolonisation. Individual national and expansion histories referred to each other in varying degrees at dif- ferent times but often also reinforced each other. Transfer processes within Europe and in the colonies show that not only genuine colonial powers such as Spain and England, but also "latecomers" such as Germany participated in the historical process of colonial expansion with which Europe decisively shaped world history. In turn, this process also clearly shaped Europe itself. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Colonialism and Imperialism 3. Regions and periods 4. Forms 5. Outlook 6. Appendix 1. Literature 2. Notes Citation Introduction In world history, no continent has possessed so many different forms of colonies and none has so incomparably defined access to the world by means of a civilising mission as a secular programme as did modern Europe. When Spain and Portugal partitioned the world by signing the Treaty of Tordesillas (ᇄ Media Link #ab) on 7 June 1494, they declared a genuine European claim to hegemony. A similar claim was never staked out in this form by a world empire of Antiquity or a non-European colonial power in the modern period, such as Japan or the USA. The extraordinary continuity of Chi- nese colonialism or that of the Aztecs in Central America before the Spaniards arrived is indeed structurally comparable to modern European expansion. But similar to the Phoenician and the Roman empires, the phenomenon of expansion usually ended with colonisation and not in colonial development.

  • Harvey L. Sharrer 233 ISSN 1540 5877 Ehumanista 31 (2015): 233
    Harvey L. Sharrer 233 Translation, Adaptation and ‘Plagiarism’ in the Tratado Geral de Nobreza, Attributed to António Rodrigues, Portugal King of Arms (Part 1) Harvey L. Sharrer (University of California, Santa Barbara) Introduction The subject of this article is a little studied 16th-century Portuguese compendium of heraldic, other nobiliary and historiographical texts attributed to António Rodrigues, Portugal King of Arms, the greater part of which were translated and reworked from earlier 15th-century Spanish and French sources. In what in our times would be called a flagrant case of plagiarism, the translator of these texts does not identify their origin, most notably in appropriating as his own two 15th-century Spanish texts in which he alters the dedication. The first is Pedro de Gracia Dei’s Nobleza del Universo with a dedication to João II of Portugal that the translator changes to that king’s successor, Manuel I.1 The second involves claiming to be the author of a text that the translator also dedicates to Manuel I of Portugal but that Diego de Valera wrote in the previous century and dedicated to Juan II of Castile, namely Valera’s Espejo de verdadera nobleza.2 However, as Giles Constable points out, the concept of plagiarism is probably anachronistic for medieval and indeed some early modern writers. Of greater importance, the transmission of the translated and adapted texts represents an example of movement across borders in the late medieval and Renaissance period, one that belatedly introduced to Portuguese court circles a variety of political and ideological precepts as well as practices concerning nobility and heraldry that were under discussion elsewhere in Europe in previous decades.
