Couleurs de l'esclavage sur les deux rives de la Méditerranée (Moyen Age - XXe siècle)

Autor: Botte Roger Et Stella Alessandro

Número de Páginas: 398

Si l’esclavage des Noirs présente une indéniable spécificité, il est tout aussi évident que l’institution esclavagiste a été aussi complexe et variée que la polychromie des phénotypes humains. Sans remonter à l’Antiquité gréco-romaine, l’espace méditerranéen avant, pendant et après la traite transatlantique des Africains, est un observatoire de choix sur la fabrique d’esclaves. D’une rive à l’autre de la Méditerranée, nous pouvons observer la coexistence d’esclaves de différentes couleurs, origines, religions. À côté d’Africains arrivés par les traites transsaharienne et atlantique, les marchés d’esclaves se nourrissaient de Slaves, Caucasiens et autres Orientaux, pendant que les clivages religieux alimentaient et justifiaient la capture et la mise en esclavage aussi bien de musulmans que de chrétiens et de païens. Le même statut d’esclave était appliqué à des individus qui, tout en partageant la domination servile, étaient souvent, de par leur origine ethnique, leur sexe, leur âge, leur apparence physique et leurs supposées qualités, destinés à des tâches diverses. De Byzance au monde ottoman, de l’Europe chrétienne...

From Christianity to Judaism

Autor: Yosef Kaplan

Número de Páginas: 560

Isaac Orobio de Castro, a crypto-Jew from Portugal, was one of the most prominent intellectual figures of the Sephardi Diaspora in the seventeenth century. After studying medicine and theology in Spain, and having pursued a distinguished medical career, he was arrested by the Spanish Inquisition for practising Judaism, tortured, tired, and imprisoned. He subsequently emigrated to France and became a professor of medicine at the University of Toulouse before openly professing his Judaism and going to Amsterdam where he joined the thriving Portuguese Jewish community. Amsterdam was then a city of great cultural creativity and religious pluralism where Orobio found open to him the world of religious thinkers and learned scholars. In this atmosphere he flourished and became an outstanding spokesman and apologist for the Jewish community. He engaged in controversy with Juan de Prado and Baruch Spinoza, who were both excommunicated by the Portuguese Jewish community, as well as with Christian theologians of various sects and denominations, including Philip van Limborch. This fascinating biography of Orobio sheds light on the complex life of a unique Jewish community of former Christians ...

Le Lion et le Moucheron

Autor: Jacques Blamont

Número de Páginas: 468

Voici l’histoire des marranes, juifs portugais et espagnols convertis au catholicisme, qui s’installèrent au XVIIe siècle à Toulouse. Jusqu’à la condamnation au bûcher de six femmes et douze hommes parmi eux. À travers leur saga familiale, c’est le climat politique et spirituel des provinces au siècle de Louis XIV qui est ainsi reconstitué. En persécutant les marranes, la France s’est-elle privée d’une chance de grandeur et de puissance ? « Le refus de l’économie marchande, l’incapacité de construire un système bancaire et plus généralement capitaliste, le repli sur soi, voilà des défauts de la France ; la passion des offices, la pusillanimité, l’amour du despotisme, voilà des défauts des Français. »Professeur à l’université de Paris-VI, membre de l’Académie des sciences, Jacques Blamont est l’auteur de Vénus dévoilée et de Le Chiffre et le Songe. Histoire politique de la découverte.

Las gramáticas misioneras de tradición hispánica (siglos XVI-XVII)

Número de Páginas: 315

La conquista y la colonización del Nuevo Mundo iban acompañadas por el gran esfuerzo de los misioneros por la enseñanza y el adoctrinamiento de los indios. Los clérigos y los políticos sintieron la necesidad de predicar en las lenguas indígenas. En esta monografía se recogen estudios sobre las gramáticas de lenguas amerindias. Se comentan gramáticas de las lenguas otomí, tarasco, náhuatl, quechua, mapuche, guaraní y el millcayac. A modo de epílogo se analiza la política lingüística española y se da una respuesta a la cuestión de hasta en qué medida se encuentran repercusiones de los ’descubrimientos lingüísticos’ del Nuevo Mundo en el pensamiento lingüístico español.

Domingos Álvares, African Healing, and the Intellectual History of the Atlantic World

Autor: James Hoke Sweet

Número de Páginas: 322

Between 1730 and 1750, Domingos Alvares traversed the colonial Atlantic world like few Africans of his time--from Africa to South America to Europe. By tracing the steps of this powerful African healer and vodun priest, James Sweet finds dramatic means fo

Women, Crime, and Forgiveness in Early Modern Portugal

Autor: Darlene Abreu-ferreira

Número de Páginas: 250

Looking at the experiences of women in early modern Portugal in the context of crime and forgiveness, this study demonstrates the extent to which judicial and quasi-judicial records can be used to examine the implications of crime in women’s lives, whether as victims or culprits. The foundational basis for this study is two sets of manuscript sources that highlight two distinct yet connected experiences of women as participants in the criminal process. One consists of a collection of archival documents from the first half of the seventeenth century, a corpus called 'querelas,' in which formal accusations of criminal acts were registered. This is a rich source of information not only about the types of crimes reported, but also the process that plaintiffs had to follow to deal with their cases. The second primary source consists of a sampling of documents known as the ’perdão de parte.’ The term refers to the victim’s pardon, unique to the Iberian Peninsula, which allowed individuals implicated in serious conflicts to have a voice in the judicial process. By looking at a sample of these pardons, found in notary collections from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries,...

Africa Encountered

Autor: P.e.h. Hair

Número de Páginas: 377

Professor Hair’s aim here has been to explore the European written record for the history of Africa south of the Sahara. This effectively began with the arrival of the Portuguese on the Guinea coast and many of these articles focus on Sierra Leone; others extend the enquiry to southern Africa. One particular theme is the use of early vocabularies of African languages as a source for the history of local populations. At the same time, these studies help illuminate the European reaction to the peoples and the places they encountered.

Lingüí?stica Misionera III

Autor: Otto Zwartjes , Gregory James , Emilio Ridruejo Alonso

Número de Páginas: 372

This third volume on Missionary Linguistics focuses on morphology and syntax. It contains a selection of papers derived from the international conferences on missionary linguistics held in Hong Kong/Macau and Valladolid. As with the previous two volumes (2004, on general issues, and 2005, on orthography and phonology), this volume looks at methodology and descriptive techniques from a historical point of view, offering articles of interest to historiographers of linguistics, typologists, and descriptive linguists. It presents research into languages such as Tarasco (Pur'épecha), Massachusett, Nahuatl, Conivo, Sipibo, Guaraní, Vietnamese, Tamil, Southern Min Chinese dialects, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, Tagalog and other Austronesian languages, such as Yapese and Chamorro.

Missionary Linguistics VI

Autor: Otto Zwartjes , Paolo De Troia

Número de Páginas: 310

This is the sixth volume to be dedicated to the pioneering linguistic work produced by missionaries in Asia. This volume presents research into the documentation, study and description of Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese and Tamil. It provides a selection of papers which primarily concentrate on the Society of Jesus and their linguistic production, but also covers linguistic works written by Franciscans, the Order of Discalced Carmelites and works of other religious institutions, such as the Propaganda Fide and the Missions Étrangères de Paris. New insights are provided regarding these works and their reception among European scholars interested in these ‘exotic’ languages and cultures. Each text is placed in its historical context and various approaches to some of the most important descriptive problems faced by these linguists avant la lettre are analyzed, such as the establishment of an adequate romanization system, the description of typological features of these Asian languages, such as tonality and aspiration in Chinese and Vietnamese, agglutination and derivational morphology in Japanese and Tamil, and, pragmatics, in particular politeness in Japanese. This volume not...

Raza e historia en las sociedades occidentales (siglos XV-XVIII)

Autor: Jean-frédéric Schaub , Silvia Sebastiani

Número de Páginas: 492

La historia de los procesos de racialización que marcaron la transformación de Europa y sus colonias desde el final de la Edad Media hasta la era de las revoluciones arroja luz sobre la evolución de la sociedad, las instituciones y las culturas. Describe el deseo de categorizar a los individuos y los grupos, de encerrarlos en identidades que se presentan como intangibles, de discriminar a colectivos dominados o incluso de organizar una opresión a gran escala contra poblaciones definidas por su raza. Son cuatro los focos que permiten trazar la línea que vertebra la historia de la raza: la nobleza de nacimiento frente al ennoblecimiento, la naturaleza judía o musulmana que persiste en la sangre de los conversos, el origen indeleble del mestizaje en la América colonial y la deshumanización de los africanos a través de la trata de esclavos. Estos fenómenos son las experiencias históricas en las que se basaron los autores de la Ilustración para clasificar a la humanidad en razas. En el Siglo de las Luces, aunque por un lado se proclamó la universalidad de los derechos humanos, por otro se jerarquizó a los grupos humanos. El siglo de los filósofos puede leerse, por ello,...

Aspectos actuales del hispanismo mundial

Autor: Christoph Strosetzki

Número de Páginas: 812

The two volumes gather the most important findings of the nine sessions held at the Asociación Internacional de Hispanistas (AIH) conference in Münster, Germany, in 2016. The contributions focus, for example, on convergences and divergences between the holy and profane in medieval literature, on the constitution and construction of the "I" in Siglo de oro prose and poetry, or on the importance of space in theatre. Other central topics are transitions (in 18th- and 19th-century literature), crises and disruptions (in modern and contemporary literature), as well as transculturations and transitory identities (in view of Latin America). The volumes also contain five plenary talks and sessions discussing cinema and new media, history and culture between government and opposition, as well as language with regard to its ideological and interactive qualities.

Inquisición Portuguesa y Monarquía Hispánica en tiempos del perdón general de 1605

Autor: Ana Isabel López-salazar Codes

Número de Páginas: 241

A principios del reinado de Felipe III (1598-1621), las relaciones entre la Monarquía Hispánica y la Inquisición portuguesa entraron en una nueva fase caracterizada por los constantes desacuerdos. El conflicto provocado por el perdón general que solicitaban los cristianos nuevos fue acompañado por otros motivos de tensión entre la Corona y el Santo Oficio. De modo que, en cinco años, entre 1599 y 1604, se sucedieron cuatro inquisidores generales, la Corona proyectó la reforma del tribunal y se prohibió, en varias ocasiones, la celebración de autos de fe. Al mismo tiempo, se sucedían las tensiones entre la Inquisición y la Santa Sede, especialmente por las apelaciones de algunos cristianos nuevos al Sumo Pontífice. Para solucionar el problema de la oposición del Santo Oficio a las resoluciones de la monarquía, Felipe III recurrió a un hombre de probada fidelidad a la casa de Austria. Se trataba de don Pedro de Castilho, obispo de Leiria, que aceptó ejecutar el perdón general concedido a los cristianos nuevos. A partir de 1605, el Santo Oficio, bajo el gobierno de Castilho, inició una etapa de recuperación de su poder y prestigio. Mediante la sumisión a los...

Portuguese Missionary Grammars in Asia, Africa and Brazil, 1550-1800

Autor: Otto Zwartjes

Número de Páginas: 375

From the 16th century onwards, Europeans encountered languages in the Americas, Africa, and Asia which were radically different from any of the languages of the Old World. Missionaries were in the forefront of this encounter: in order to speak to potential converts, they needed to learn local languages. A great wealth of missionary grammars survives from the 16th century onwards. Some of these are precious records of the languages they document, and all of them witness their authors’ attempts to develop the methods of grammatical description with which they were familiar, to accommodate dramatically new linguistic features.This book is the first monograph covering the whole Portuguese grammatical tradition outside Portugal. Its aim is to provide an integrated description, analysis and evaluation of the missionary grammars which were written in Portuguese. Between them, these grammars covered a huge range of languages: in Asia, Tamil, four Indo-Aryan languages and Japanese; in Brazil, Kipeá and Tupinambá; in Africa and the African diaspora, Kimbundu and Sena (from the modern Angola and Mozambique respectively).Each text is placed in its historical context, and its linguistic...

Familia, religión y negocio

Autor: Jaime Contreras , Bernardo José García García , Juan Ignacio Pulido Serrano

Número de Páginas: 468

La experiencia del exilio y emigración de los judeoconversos ibéricos desempeñó un papel determinante en un proceso clave de la Edad Moderna que nos recuerda al fenómeno hoy conocido como globalización. A este tema se dedicó el Tercer Seminario Internacional de Historia de la Fundación Carlos de Amberes (junio de 2002) y cuyos resultados se recogen en este libro. Los sefardíes y los conversos se vieron obligados a frecuentar un espacio fronterizo para instalarse en él de forma permanente o para explotar las posibilidades de mediación y negocio que ofrecía, lo que favoreció una profunda crítica de su propia cultura e identidad, la mediación diplomática y el debate intelectual. La emergencia del capitalismo mercantil no sólo acercó productos de lugares remotos hasta los mercados locales europeos, sino que además comportó paulations cambios en los gustos, hábitos, ideas y creencias de buena parte de la población. Esta visión más amplia y profunda del mundo propició un cuestionamiento de las bases sobre las que se asentaba la sociedad occidental. Estos cambios y los procesos que los favorecieron son el eje principal de esta obra, que se completa, además, con...

Imperial Culture and Colonial Projects

Autor: Diogo Ramada Curto

Número de Páginas: 514

Beyond the immeasurable political and economic changes it brought, colonial expansion exerted a powerful effect on Portuguese culture. And as this book demonstrates, the imperial culture that emerged over the course of four centuries was hardly a homogeneous whole, as triumphalist literature and other cultural forms mingled with recurrent doubts about the expansionist project. In a series of illuminating case studies, Ramada Curto follows the history and perception of major colonial initiatives while integrating the complex perspectives of participating agents to show how the empire’s life and culture were richly inflected by the operations of imperial expansion.

Further Selections from the Tragic History of the Sea, 1559-1565

Autor: C.r. Boxer

Número de Páginas: 223

'Being about to write down the disastrous voyage of this great ship, it occurred to me how rash men are in their undertakings, chief among which, or one of the greatest is confiding their lives to four planks lashed together, and to the discretion of the furious winds.' So wrote Henrique Dias, an eye-witness of the wreck of the Sao Paulo off Sumatra and the subsequent fate of the survivors. His account is one of three narratives, here translated into English for the first time, of certain shipwrecks which befell the Portuguese in the mid-16th century. The other two describe the wrecking of two East Indiamen off the East African coast, and the misadventures of a voyage from Brazil to Lisbon. In his introduction, Professor Boxer describes the lives of the three chroniclers, and gives bibliographical details of their works. The narratives are translated from the original accounts which Bernardo Gomes de Brito included in his História Trágico-Marítima (Lisbon, 1735-36). The present volume forms a companion to Professor Boxer's earlier work The Tragic History of the Sea, 1589-1622 (Hakluyt Society, 1959). This is a new print-on-demand hardback edition of the volume first published...

Early Jesuits and the Rhetorical Tradition

Autor: Jaska Kainulainen

Número de Páginas: 206

This book explores sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Jesuit contributions to the rhetorical tradition established by Isocrates, Aristotle, Cicero and Quintilian. It analyses the writings of those Jesuits who taught rhetoric at the College of Rome, including Pedro Juan Perpiña, (1530–66), Carlo Reggio (1539–1612), Francesco Benci (1542–94), Famiano Strada (1572–1649) and Tarquinio Galluzzi (1574–1649). Additionally, it discusses the rhetorical views of Jesuits who were not based in Rome, most notably Cypriano Soarez (1524–93), the author of the popular manual De arte rhetorica. Jesuit education, Ciceronianism and civic life feature as the key themes of the book. Early Jesuits and the Rhetorical Tradition, 1540–1650 argues that, in line with Cicero, early modern Jesuit teachers and humanists associated rhetoric with a civic function. Jesuit writings, not only on rhetoric, but also on moral, religious and political themes, testify to their thorough familiarity with Cicero’s civic philosophy. Following Cicero, Isocrates and Renaissance humanists, early modern Jesuit teachers of the studia humanitatis coupled eloquence with wisdom and, in so doing, invested the...

African American Religions, 1500–2000

Autor: Sylvester A. Johnson

Número de Páginas: 437

This book provides a narrative historical, postcolonial account of African American religions. It examines the intersection of Black religion and colonialism over several centuries to explain the relationship between empire and democratic freedom. Rather than treating freedom and its others (colonialism, slavery and racism) as opposites, Sylvester A. Johnson interprets multiple periods of Black religious history to discern how Atlantic empires (particularly that of the United States) simultaneously enabled the emergence of particular forms of religious experience and freedom movements as well as disturbing patterns of violent domination. Johnson explains theories of matter and spirit that shaped early indigenous religious movements in Africa, Black political religion responding to the American racial state, the creation of Liberia, and FBI repression of Black religious movements in the twentieth century. By combining historical methods with theoretical analysis, Johnson explains the seeming contradictions that have shaped Black religions in the modern era.
