This is the standard history of the reign of King John III of Portugal (1521-1557), the “strong-willed and weak- minded ascetic,” and has been called by Figueiredo one of the five best classical works in Portuguese. Like all Renaissance chronicles of Portugal, the history dwells more extensively on the recent Portuguese conquests in the East and in Brazil, leaving relatively little space for the internal events of the kingdom. The Inquisition discouraged any emphasis on home affairs, especially in works such as this, written in the vernacular. Of the 413 chapters in the book, at least 291 deal partly or completely with Portu- guese activities in the East, at Goa, Diu, Chaul, and Calicut in India, Ternate and Malacca, Ceylon, and China. An additional 46 chapters are concerned with Africa and the Mideast, e.g., Mozambique, Zanzibar, Ethiopia, Ormuz, Suez, Alcácer-Cequer, Tangiers, Ceuta and Arzila. There is also one chapter (IV, 32) on the foundation of Salvador in Brazil; as the author says in the introduction to this chapter, the King and his Council paid less attention to that area at the time, “avendoas por menos importantes, porque os proveitos dellas se esperavão mais da grangearia da terra, que do comercio da gente ….” Francisco de Andrade (ca. 1535-1614), brother of the great mystic writer Frei Thomé de Jesus, wrote this chronicle and was the author of the celebrated epic poem on the first siege of Diu, O primeiro cerco … de Diu, which he regarded as a supplementary chapter to this history. Andrade was a Commander of the Order of Christ, a member of the State Council, Chief Keeper of the Archives and Chief Chronicler of the Kingdom. ❊ Borba de Moraes (1958) I, 29-30; curiously, the revised ed. does not list this work.

Fascinating account of the travails of one Major Pimenta, who in July 1824 was sent without trial to a lifetime exile in Africa, on orders of the Conde Subserra. When he arrived in Luanda he was sent to the interior without being given time to become acclimatized (as was normal, according to the anonymous author), fell ill, and spent some miserable time in the hospital at Luanda. The author includes, in the footnotes, lengthy and bitter comments on the physician who cared for Pimenta in Luanda, the director of the hospital there (“O Director deste immundo Hospital he o filho de hum tal Pai homem cruel e libidinoso, o seu unico recreio he a espionagem, e 6 richard c. ramer o seu melhor Theatro a infelicidade de seus similhantes”), the Conde de Rendufe, and the Conde de Subserra. Over the course of his exile Major Pimenta wrote a letter to D. João, two to the Emperor of Brazil, and one to the Governor and Capitão General of Angola, which are reprinted here from the Espectador Brasiliense and the Correio dos annuncios. Pimenta was released in a general amnesty about six months after the death of D. João VI. He visited Rio de Janeiro, where he met and thanked the Emperor of Brazil for his assistance, then sailed back to Portugal. When this pamphlet appeared, he had died and been buried in the prison of Torre de São Julião da Barra in Lisbon. There is no statement of what Major Pimenta was accused of. From the two sonnets on p. 8 (reprinted from the Espectador Braziliense and a “foreign newspaper”), the charge seems to have been treason, perhaps related to the failed coup attempt of the Vilafrancada, the aftermath of which brought the Conde Subserra to leadership of the government (June 1, 1823 to March 19, 1824); he was also Minister of War and the Navy from June 1, 1823 until January 15, 1825. Either Major Pimenta had been a supporter of the absolutist forces led by D. Miguel and the Queen, D. Carlota Joaquina, or had been an extreme liberal unhappy with post-Vilafrancada arrangements. D. João VI died in March 1826, so this pamphlet probably dates to later that year or soon after. ❊ Not located in Innocêncio. Not in Biblioteca Pública de Braga, “Catálogo do Fundo Barca-Oliveira”.

Her writing is marked by the courage with which she depicts women at a time when to do so was not politically correct.

  • Contradictions of the Estado Novo in the Modernisation of Portugal: Design and Designers in the 1940'S and 50'S
    “Design Policies: Between Dictatorship and Resistance” | December 2015 Edition CONTRADICTIONS OF THE ESTADO NOVO IN THE MODERNISATION OF PORTUGAL: DESIGN AND DESIGNERS IN THE 1940'S AND 50'S Helena Barbosa, Universidade de Aveiro ABSTRACT The period of Portuguese history known as the Estado Novo (1933-1974) presents a series of contradictions as regards the directives issued, possibly resulting from a lack of political cohesion. Considering the dichotomy between modernization and tradition that existed between the 1940s and ‘50s, and the obvious validity of the government’s actions, this paper aims to demonstrate the contradictory attitudes towards the modernization of the country via different routes, highlighting the role of ‘designers’ as silent interlocutors and agents of change in this process. Various documents are analysed, some published under the auspices of the Estado Novo, others in the public sphere, in order to reveal the various partnerships that were in operation and the contrasting attitudes towards the government at the time. Other activities taking place in the period are also analysed, both those arising from state initiatives and others that were antithetical to it. The paper reveals the need to break with the political power in order to promote artistic and cultural interests, and describes initiatives designed to promote industry in the country, some launched by the Estado Novo, others by companies. It focuses upon the teaching of art, which later gave rise to the teaching of design, and on the presence of other institutions and organizations that contributed to the modernization of Portugal, in some cases by mounting exhibitions in Portugal and abroad, as well as other artistic activities such as graphic design, product design and interior decoration, referring to the respective designers, artefacts and spaces.

  • Portugal's History Since 1974
    Portugal’s history since 1974 Stewart Lloyd-Jones ISCTE-Lisbon AN IMPERIAL LEGACY The Carnation Revolution (Revolução dos Cravos) that broke out on the morning of 25 April 1974 has had a profound effect on Portuguese society, one that still has its echoes today, almost 30 years later, and which colours many of the political decision that have been, and which continue to be made. During the authoritarian regime of António de Oliveira Salazar (1932-68) and his successor, Marcello Caetano (1968-74), Portugal had existed in a world of its own construction. Its vast African empire (Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, São Tomé e Príncipe, and Cape Verde) was consistently used to define Portugal’s self-perceived identity as being ‘in, but not of Europe’. Within Lisbon’s corridors of power, the dissolution of the other European empires was viewed with horror, and despite international opprobrium and increasing isolation, the Portuguese dictatorship was in no way prepared to follow the path of decolonisation. As Salazar was to defiantly declare, Portugal would stand ‘proudly alone’, indeed, for a regime that had consciously legitimated itself by ‘turning its back on Europe’, there could be no alternative course of action. Throughout the 1960s and early-1970s, the Portuguese people were to pay a high price for the regime’s determination to remain in Africa. From 1961 onwards, while the world’s attention was focused on events in south-east Asia, Portugal was fighting its own wars. By the end of the decade, the Portuguese government was spending almost half of its GNP on sustaining a military presence of over 150,000 troops in Africa.

  • International Literary Program
    PROGRAM & GUIDE International Literary Program LISBON June 29 July 11 2014 ORGANIZATION SPONSORS SUPPORT GRÉMIO LITERÁRIO Bem-Vindo and Welcome to the fourth annual DISQUIET International Literary Program! We’re thrilled you’re joining us this summer and eagerly await meeting you in the inimitable city of Lisbon – known locally as Lisboa. As you’ll soon see, Lisboa is a city of tremendous vitality and energy, full of stunning, surprising vistas and labyrinthine cobblestone streets. You wander the city much like you wander the unexpected narrative pathways in Fernando Pessoa’s The Book of Disquiet, the program’s namesake. In other words, the city itself is not unlike its greatest writer’s most beguiling text. Thanks to our many partners and sponsors, traveling to Lisbon as part of the DISQUIET program gives participants unique access to Lisboa’s cultural life: from private talks on the history of Fado (aka The Portuguese Blues) in the Fado museum to numerous opportunities to meet with both the leading and up-and- coming Portuguese authors. The year’s program is shaping up to be one of our best yet. Among many other offerings we’ll host a Playwriting workshop for the first time; we have a special panel dedicated to the Three Marias, the celebrated trio of women who collaborated on one of the most subversive books in Portuguese history; and we welcome National Book Award-winner Denis Johnson as this year’s guest writer. Our hope is it all adds up to a singular experience that elevates your writing and affects you in profound and meaningful ways.

  • Sons De Abril: Estilos Musicais E Movimentos De Intervenção Político-Cultural Na Revolução De 19741
    Revista Portuguesa de Musicologia 6, Lisboa, 1996, pp. 141-171 Sons de Abril: estilos musicais e movimentos de intervenção político-cultural na Revolução de 19741 MARIA DE SÃO ]OSÉ CORTE-REAL STE artigo consiste numa reflexão sobre o fenómeno «Sons Ede Abril», definindo-o numa perspectiva de relacionamento entre estilos musicais e movimentos de intervenção político• cultural associados à Revolução de 1974. Partindo de um corpus de música seleccionado de entre o vasto repertório designado correntemente por «música de intervenção» e «música popular portuguesa»/ foram consideradas três situações de relevância social, fortemente interligadas e concorrentes para a definição do fenómeno em estudo: o desenvolvimento político em Portugal sob o regime ditatorial marcadamente autoritário, a Guerra Colonial que mobilizou massivamente a geração da década de sessenta e a consequente fuga para o estrangeiro, nomeadamente para Paris, que tal como outros centros urbanos, albergou a juventude exilada de Portugal. Cada uma destas situações exerceu influências marcantes no desenvolvimento da cultura expressiva em geral e da música em particular em Portugal. A influência de compositores e intérpretes franceses, assim como o trabalho pontual de algumas editoras discográficas foram de importância capital no domínio da canção de intervenção em Portugal. Necessariamente, muitos compositores e intérpretes, assim como obras de relevo ficarão por citar. A inexistência de um estudo sistemático sobre esta matéria revela uma lacuna no conhecimento da cultura expressiva recente em Portugal. O texto original deste artigo foi apresentado numa conferência interactiva realizada na Fonoteca Municipal de Lisboa em 1995, integrada nas comemorações do 21.0 aniversário da Revolução de 1974. Ainda que adaptado ao novo suporte, a sua redução ao formato escrito acarreta necessariamente a amputação de um amplo leque de referências inerentes ao desempenho musical característico dos «Sons de Abril».

  • Os Festivais Da Canção Enquanto Eventos Midiáticos: Brasil E Portugal
    OS FESTIVAIS DA CANÇÃO ENQUANTO EVENTOS MIDIÁTICOS: BRASIL E PORTUGAL. José Fernando Saroba Monteiro Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro [email protected] Os festivais da canção, tal como os conhecemos hoje, surgem ainda na década de 1950, com o precursor Festival de San Remo (Festival della Canzone Italiana), inaugurando o formato festival que logo foi copiado por países no mundo todo, dando origem a uma infinidade de festivais nacionais, e outros tantos, fazendo competir diferentes países e, por vezes, de diferentes continentes. Dentre os mais conhecidos festivais estão: o Festival Eurovisão da Canção, surgido em 1956, na esteira do festival italiano, e o primeiro a fazer competir países entre si; o Festival Intervisão, tendo a mesma concepção do Festival Eurovisão, mas direcionado para os países do bloco soviético; o Festival OTI, voltado para os países iberoamericanos; e poderíamos assinalar uma infinidade de outros festivais nacionais, muitos deles responsáveis pela escolha de uma canção representante no Festival Eurovisão (quando se tratando do quadro europeu), como é o caso do Festival RTP da Canção, iniciado em 1964 em Portugal, justamente para escolher sua representante no eurofestival, mas muitos outros atingindo certa autonomia e reconhecimento inclusive internacionalmente, como o Festival Yamaha, realizado em Tóquio, reunindo artistas de inúmeros países, o Festival de Atenas, de caráter multicultural, o Festival de Sopot, e, dentre outros, o Festival Internacional da Canção do Rio de Janeiro, dividido em duas fases, uma nacional e outra internacional, nesta segunda, notadamente, os vencedores nacionais competiam com canções representantes de países de todo o mundo. Surgidos a partir da década de 1950, os festivais da canção puderam contar com o inovador recurso da imagem, possibilitado pelo advento da televisão, que se desenvolvia e se propagava justamente nesta mesma década.

Starting in the early 1630s there was a highly persistent upward trend which accelerated after 1710 and peaked 40 years later. At that point, per capita income was high by European standards, though behind the most advanced Western European economies. But as the second half of the eighteenth century unfolded, a phase of economic decline was initiated. This continued into the nineteenth century, and by 1850 per capita incomes were not different from what they had been in the early 1530s.
