Ph.D.odirzadeh, Ph.D.odirzadeh, Professor, Music A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ON MUSICA POPULAR Joseph Medeiros, III San Francisco, California 2018 This thesis offers a multi-faceted understanding of Musica Popular, or Popular Portuguese Music, with perspectives ranging from the historical to personal, and conceptual. I take the position that three primary musical elements are responsible for the development of the Musica Popular sound - fado, folkloric, and marching band music. To demonstrate this, important artists and pieces within the genre are studied, along with a musical autoethnography of the production process of my own music, as a Musica Popular artist. This thesis concludes with a research model for popular music studies in general, and Musica Popular in particular, emphasizing hybridization as a force that appears to contribute to further development of this vital cultural music. I certify that the Abstract is a correct representation of the content of this thesis. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my parents/family for all the support they have given me throughout the years with my music.

The earliest design art in Macao can be traced back thousands of years. It began to evolve at the intersection of Chinese and Western cultures. With the Portuguese entering Huawei, it has experienced collision, communication, integration and symbiosis. The process of cultural evolution of construction is basically the same. Macao design is not limited by the influence of Chinese and Portuguese cultures. In fact, it is too simple to classify it based on the region of nationality or the change of government. This chapter starts from the characterization and connotation of Macao design and divides its multicultural factors: Han culture the foundation of Lingnan culture, the dominance of religious culture, the coexistence of colonial culture, the promotion of commercial culture, and the choice in the context of cultural globalization. 1. Introduction Macau ’s design culture presents a diverse and intermingled organic form, which is different from the traditional Chinese culture in general in terms of cultural characteristics, and is deeply influenced by the pragmatic and polite Lingnan culture. The other 400 years of Portuguese rule and maritime silk Lu introduced Western cultures such as Latin and Saxon, as well as Japanese and Indian Southeast Asian cultures.

  • A BRIEF HISTORY of the INTRODUCTION of MODERN SCIENCE to PORTUGAL DURING the 18Th CENTURY
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE INTRODUCTION OF MODERN SCIENCE TO PORTUGAL DURING THE 18th CENTURY TERESA CASTELÃO-LAWLESS Abstract: The focus of this article is on the role played by members of the Society of Jesus, the Order of the Oratorians, and the Jewish community in the introduction of Modern science in Portugal during the 18th century. The record of their publications prove, contrary to common stereotypes on the permanent conflict between science and religion, that they all embraced Modern, anti-Aristotelian, natural philosophy fairly equally and unreservedly. The rhetoric they used in manuscript Dedications to prospective patrons also show that they were actively engaged in shifting Modern science from a context of private consumption to one of public circulation. I acknowledge that the dissemination of Modern science in Portugal during the 1700’s was slow and protracted. This phenomenon, however, was not, as typically argued, caused by scientific conservatism on the part of the religious Orders, or the ill will of patrons of the sciences, but by the political motives of enlightened despots João V, José I and his Prime-Minister the Marquis of Pombal. Keywords: Modern science, Society of Jesus, Congregation of the Oratorians, enlightenment, University of Coimbra, rhetoric of science PART ONE. WHO WAS READY FOR MODERN SCIENCE DURING THE 18th CENTURY? It is safe to say that the Golden age of Modern philosophy in Portugal started during the 1st half of the 18th century under João V (1707- 1750), and continued to develop under José I (1750-1777). Since the end of the 17th century, João V spent much wealth coming in from Brazil to modernize Colleges and Universities in Continental Portugal.
