Symbols: the sacramental chalice; the Grail; the external vestments that conceal the body. Virtue: silence. Vice: greed. 517 518 APPENDIX 5 IV CHESED or GEDULAH (Mercy or Magnificence) - masculine essence; centre of the pillar of Mercy; centre of the vision of love. Symbols: the pyramid; the sphere (as in II); the Greek cross (like the one of the Orders of Avis and Christ); the staff; the cable (ship's rope); the fishing net (spread or in a concave frame, a symbol already used in palaeo-Christianity); scuttle for burning coal; cauldron.

  • Following the Trail of the Snake: a Life History of Cobra Mansa “Cobrinha” Mestre of Capoeira
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FOLLOWING THE TRAIL OF THE SNAKE: A LIFE HISTORY OF COBRA MANSA “COBRINHA” MESTRE OF CAPOEIRA Isabel Angulo, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Directed By: Dr. Jonathan Dueck Division of Musicology and Ethnomusicology, School of Music, University of Maryland Professor John Caughey American Studies Department, University of Maryland This dissertation is a cultural biography of Mestre Cobra Mansa, a mestre of the Afro-Brazilian martial art of capoeira angola. The intention of this work is to track Mestre Cobrinha’s life history and accomplishments from his beginning as an impoverished child in Rio to becoming a mestre of the tradition—its movements, music, history, ritual and philosophy. A highly skilled performer and researcher, he has become a cultural ambassador of the tradition in Brazil and abroad. Following the Trail of the Snake is an interdisciplinary work that integrates the research methods of ethnomusicology (oral history, interview, participant observation, musical and performance analysis and transcription) with a revised life history methodology to uncover the multiple cultures that inform the life of a mestre of capoeira. A reflexive auto-ethnography of the author opens a dialog between the experiences and developmental steps of both research partners’ lives. Written in the intersection of ethnomusicology, studies of capoeira, social studies and music education, the academic dissertation format is performed as a roda of capoeira aiming to be respectful of the original context of performance. The result is a provocative ethnographic narrative that includes visual texts from the performative aspects of the tradition (music and movement), aural transcriptions of Mestre Cobra Mansa’s storytelling and a myriad of writing techniques to accompany the reader in a multi-dimensional journey of multicultural understanding.

The danger and deadly risk of these expeditions were weighed before they began1. As Gomes Eanes de Zurara wrote of sailors contemplating the circumnavigation of Cape No in the vicinity of Bojador, “since the hazarding of this attempt seemed to threaten the last evil of all, there was great doubt as to who would be the first to risk his life in such venture”.

  • Jewish Political Studies Review Iceland, the Jews, and Anti
    04/02/2019 Iceland, the Jews, and Anti-Semitism, 1625-2004 - Vilhjálmur Örn Vilhjálmsson Home Jewish Political Studies Review Jewish Political Studies Review 16:3-4 (Fall 2004) Iceland, the Jews, and Anti-Semitism, 1625-2004 Vilhjálmur Örn Vilhjálmsson Jews were only occasional visitors in Iceland from the 17th century onward. Until the 1930s, the Holy Scripture as well as the most recent European trends in anti-Semitism constituted nearly the only knowledge the Icelanders had about the Jews. Jews in the flesh materialized as Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Most of the refugees moved on to other countries, and some were even expelled or deported. In the postwar period, Jews living in Iceland remained an isolated group. They quickly realized that most Icelanders showed no concern about the sufferings some of them had undergone during WW II. Members of the prewar Icelandic Nazi Party became high-ranking officials, war criminals found safe haven in Iceland, and an odd, social-democratic politician even engaged in publishing an anti-Semitic journal along with the Protocols of the Elders of Zion in Icelandic. Possibly because of anti- Semitic sentiments, some Jews in Iceland tried to conceal their Jewish background altogether. At present, the small Icelandic Jewish community keeps a low profile amid rising anti- Semitism centered on the Middle East. Vikings and Jews For nearly 1100 years, Iceland - a rather large island in the North Atlantic with only one religion and one people, who allegedly descended from chieftains and kings in Norway - was a country without minorities. Thanks to archaeology and anthropology, we now know that the first settlers, who arrived in Iceland at the end of the ninth century, derived from different locations in Scandinavia and the northern British Isles.

Two connected phenomena were analysed: the structure of two elites merging in Rio de Janeiro when the Portuguese royal family fled to Brazil in 1808, or rather, the court society that came to Brazil with the Portuguese king and the wealthy classes that financed the king’s stay in Brazil for thirteen years. Even though the importance of these events in the history of the two countries will not be analysed, this encounter leading to the Independence process some months after the king’s return to Portugal should always be kept in mind. Another aim of this research was the cultural codes that favoured communications between two distinct societies, or rather, between the court society and the working “capitalist” groups dedicated to down-to-earth mercantile strategies controlling the credit system, internal commerce and international slave trafficking to Brazil.

    As missões de Diogo Gomes de 1456 e 1460. Aurélio de Oliveira Estudos em Homenagem a Luís António de Oliveira Ramos Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto, 2004, p. 805-814 As missões de Diogo Gomes de 1456 e 1460 Aurélio de Oliveira Diogo Gomes aparece-nos como uma das pedras mais determinantes de novas políticas e atitudes com que, a partir de certa altura, se passou a entender e encarar os contactos com as populações da Costa africana. Pouco se sabe deste homem. Até ao presente, nem lugar nem datas de nascimento nem o ano da sua morte. Não temos hoje grande dúvida que Diogo Gomes foi natural de Lagos. A referência indirecta à caravela que capitaneou, e com a qual integrou a expedição de Lançarote em 1445, assim o permite concluir1. Zurara refere, com efeito, o Picanso natural de Lagos (por duas vezes dizendo ter ele capitaneado uma caravela {Uma caravela de Tavira e outra de um homem de Lagos que se chamava o Picanço". Zurara não refere nenhuma das façanhas militares desse Picanço, contrariamente ao que nos conta dos outros - essencialmente envolvidos em acções de guerra2. Ora, Diogo Gomes não participou, de facto, nessas acções mas fez resgate a seu modo e, ao que se apercebe, sem grande violência. O que se apura é que o Picanço natural de Lagos não se chamava efectivamente Picanço, mas Diogo Gomes. A caravela que capitaneou nessa expedição, essa sim, teve por nome Picanço, (ou Piconso). Desde aí pelo menos se afirmaria como mercador. O seu nascimento deve ter ocorrido por volta de 1425.
