  • Cape Verde : Language, Literature & Music
    Notes on the Historical Context of Claridade Ellen W. Sapega Abstract. This essay takes its starting point from the premise that a single coherent project for the publication of Claridade never existed, either in terms of the reviews contents or of its actual physical layout. After demonstrating that three very different incarnations of Claridade appeared at three distinct historical moments (1936-7; 1947-49; 1959-60), I set about examining each “series” in light of the specific date in which it appeared. Paying particular attention to the selection and treatment of texts written in Creole, I identify several clear-cut changes in the placement and framing of these texts that occurred between the first and the second series. This, in turn, indicates that the purpose and reception of Claridade changed significantly over the course of its publication, as the editors sought different solutions to the problem of how to provide a metaphoric entry of Cape Verdean culture into the “Portuguese” text. The literary review Claridade has undoubtedly received more critical attention than any other single publication in the history of Cape Verdean lit- erature. As it occupies a central, yet ambiguous, place in the literature of the archipelago, Claridade has been the object of much praise; yet, at the same time it has received its equal share of negative critical responses. The review’s founders were among the first to investigate the specificity of Cape Verdean experience, basing their studies on carefully documented customs, traditions and cultural practices of the islands, and the initial publication of Claridade in 1936 clearly marks an important historical moment in the process of imagining Cape Verdean identity as unique and autonomous from that of ^ 160 PORTUGUESE LITERARY & CULTURAL STUDIES 8 metropolitan Portugal.

  • The Science of Architecture Representations of Portuguese National Architecture in the 19Th Century World Exhibitions: Archetypes, Models and Images
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UPCommons. Portal del coneixement obert de la UPC Quaderns d’Història de l’Enginyeria volum xiii 2012 THE SCIENCE OF ARCHITECTURE REPRESENTATIONS OF PORTUGUESE NATIONAL ARCHITECTURE IN THE 19TH CENTURY WORLD EXHIBITIONS: ARCHETYPES, MODELS AND IMAGES Paulo Simões Rodrigues [email protected] The influence of positivist philosophy on Portuguese intellectuals became evident from the 1870s. In a very symptomatic way, this influence exerted itself on the dearest values of romantic culture: nationalism. Indeed, it is in texts by authors for whom the positivist doctrine is most discernible that we find nationalist romantic idealism (based on a deitistic or metaphysical transcendence) is progressively replaced by a patriotic spirit rebuilt accord- ing to the parameters of positive science. In other words, it was based on a reading of History that now privileged the impermeable certainty of facts assessed by a methodology taken from natural science. It was believed that on the basis of a positive historiography, nationalism could achieve its main aim since romanticism: the regeneration of the nation – a belief deriving from the primordial objective of the positivist interpretation of social phenomena, the regeneration of societies. Within this context, and as had already been the case with romanticism, art in general and architecture in particular become of fundamental ideological importance as a material, figurative and aesthetic demonstration of the past’s positivist interpretation. It was Hippolyte Taine (1828-1893) who applied the positive scientific method to the arts using Auguste Comte’s theory explaining social phenom- ena as his base.

  • Classical Mythology and Portuguese Renaissance Poetry
    Classical Mythology and Portuguese Renaissance Poetry Professor Thomas F. Earle Oxford – St. Peter’s College An enthusiasm for classical mythology is one of the most obvious markers of Renaissance poetry. However, in an intensely Catholic country like Portugal, the myths could seem extremely problematic, especially after the Council of Trent. In this brief paper I will discuss, not the myths themselves, but the various strategies by which they could be introduced into a poem. Different degrees of engagement with myth thus become visible. One possible strategy, much employed in the Middle Ages, was allegory, whereby a classical story could illustrate some Christian moral or religious truth. But, during the Renaissance, other possibilities became available. A story could be presented as a beautiful image, to be contemplated from afar or, at the other extreme, as a series of events in which the poet himself had a role to play. When that happens, in the first-person mythological narratives to be discussed shortly, the imaginative range of poetry seems to be greatly expanded. Yet that in itself does not constitute an ideological challenge to the dominant Catholicism of the age. The pioneer of the Portuguese literary Renaissance, Sá de Miranda, was, amongst many other things also the author of the first long mythological narratives of Portuguese literature, the interpolated tales included in the eclogues, Fábula do Mondego and Encantamento. The Fábula do Mondego was probably written first, around 1538.1 The centrepiece of the eclogue is the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice, told in a way which recalls the versions of Virgil, Ovid, and Poliziano.

  • Portuguese at Yale an Historical Sketch
    Portuguese at Yale an Historical Sketch K. David Jackson Yale University [email protected] The presence of Portuguese at Yale can be traced to the hiring of Henry Roseman Lang, an Austrian with a doctorate in romance philology from Strasbourg (1890), in the Department of Romance Languages. There is no evidence that Professor Lang ever taught Portuguese, although he worked with Portuguese medieval poetry and corresponded with Carolina Michaela de Vasconcellos, Adolfo Coelho, and other famous Portuguese linguists and philologists of the time. In 1908, he received Joaquim Nabuco, then the first Brazilian ambassador to the United States, for two lectures at Yale on “The Place of Camões in Literature” and “The Spirit of Nationality in Brazil.” Professor Lang had a long and distinguished career at Yale, from Instructor, 1892-93, Assistant Professor, 1893-96, Professor of Romance Philology, 1896-1906, to Benjamin F. Barge Professor of Romance Languages & Linguistics, 1906-1922. He was emeritus professor from his retirement in 1922 until his death in 1934. The Department of Romance Languages, in which Lang headed the Spanish section, would continue to oversee teaching of the various romance languages at Yale until 1973. There was only a minor in Spanish during Lang’s time. In 1929 Romance Languages subdivided into a Department of French and a Department of Spanish and Italian. Spanish and Italian would continue as a unit until 1970. From 1971-73 Portuguese was added to become the Department of Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese, directed by Emir Rodríguez Monegal (Ph.D. Montevideo, 1956), a Uruguayan critic who arrived in 1969.

  • Milton in Portuguese a Story in Blank Verse
    OUP CORRECTED PROOF – FINAL, 25/05/17, SPi View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repositório Científico da Universidade de Évora 14 Milton in Portuguese A Story in Blank Verse Hélio J. S. Alves MILTON AND PORTUGUESE John Milton’s connections with Portuguese began during the poet’s lifetime. As Secretary for Foreign Tongues (1649–60) in Cromwell’s republic, the poet must have dealt with the envoy from the Portuguese Crown, João de Guimarães, several times during the first half of 1651, where ‘his services as an interpreter were doubt- less needed’.1 The political relationship between the Protestant republic and the Catholic monarchy could hardly have been tenser in those days. The Portuguese continued to play an important role in English politics throughout the decade, under Milton’s attentive purview, until the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660 and the subsequent marriage of Charles II to the Portuguese princess Catherine of Braganza (1638–1705) in 1662. If the poet had political and religious grudges against the Portuguese before, his dismay at their Catholic influence on English government would have attained its peak at this stage. The religious, moral, and social threat posed by Catherine’s presence as Queen of England was felt the most in the years in which Milton was completing Paradise Lost. Milton’s command of Romance languages such as Latin and Italian seems to have been quite thorough, but not much can be ascertained with respect to the Iberian languages, particularly Portuguese. Contemporary accounts suggest that Milton knew Spanish and that Spanish was one of the several tongues his daugh- ters read aloud for him.2 Given his experience with other Romance languages, it is probable that Milton could have had some reading knowledge of Portuguese.

Gilliland, Chair Portuguese colonial periodicals of 19th century India represent a rich source of information that might be used by scholars in comparative literature, history, post-colonial studies, and other humanities and social sciences-related disciplines. These periodicals are markers of modalities of colonial dominance and the ensuing hybridities that led to formation of the complex Indo-Portuguese identity (-ies) in the 19th century Indian sub-continent. Although the majority of these collections remain in India and Portugal, these periodicals also form a part of extensive South Asia collections held in academic libraries in the United States. These periodicals have often been overlooked as a source of information on the colonial milieu of 19th century India because access to them has been problematic for several reasons.

  • Contemporary Writing in Portuguese Isabel Moutinho
    10 Exile at the Edges of Empire: Contemporary Writing in Portuguese Isabel Moutinho Isabel Moutinho was born and educated in Lisbon, Portugal, and moved to Australia some twenty years ago, for reasons of love rather than exile. Now lecturer in Spanish and Portuguese in the School of Historical and European Studies, La Trobe University, Australia, her main research area is contemporary Portuguese literature, particularly novels dealing with the colonial wars in Africa. She is co-editor of a recent volume, The Paths of Multiculturalism (2000). In this paper, she refers to several forms of enforced displacement of people undertaken in the name of the former Portuguese Empire. These range from the enslavement and transportation of indigenous peoples to the deportation to occupied territories of convicts and others who were burdensome in the metropolis, to, in the Empire’s final years, the exile of opponents of the Salazar regime to its colonies. Specifically, she examines three contemporary narratives dealing with exile to Portugal’s (former) overseas colonies, two by Portuguese novelists and one by a Timorese author living in Portugal and writing in Portuguese. Both Alexandre Pinheiro Torres’s A Nau de Quixibá (published in 1977, but written in the 1950s) and Mário Cláudio’s Oríon (2003) are set in São Tomé and Príncipe. Luís Cardoso’s Crónica de Uma Travessia (1997) is set in Timor and Portugal. The central character of A Nau de Quixibá was sent to São Tomé as a colonial administrator and, while severely alienated, rejects any feeling of nostalgia for his homeland because of his opposition to the Salazar regime and its colonial policies.
