The Gran Vía is one of the main streets of Vigo. Designed in the early twentieth century, and opened in the forties, as a ring road to articulate the growth of the city, it is structured in two roads separated by a central boulevard. This configuration has been maintained, with hardly any alterations, until the approval of the process of humanization of the city, developed within the framework of the Vigo Vertical program, which made possible the creation of mechanical ramps, under a structure of ...

Bells are one of the most important heritage assets of the Valencian cultural heritage. Since their origins, in addition to their utilitarian character, they have had a wide symbolic value that justified the presence of texts and images on them. In the present study we intend to approach the case of Valencian bells in the transition between the 16th and 17th centuries, paying special attention to the changes and continuities, as well as to the artisans who cast them.The process of change was slow ...

The Pozzuoli Cathedral, located in Naples, is part of a geography of intense seismic and volcanic activity, phenomena that led to the destruction of two bell towers of the religious complex.In addition to studying and exploring the missing structures, this article aims to interpret the new bell tower, firstly, considering guidelines and recommendations for religious buildings. On the other hand, based on the project by Marco Dezzi Bardeschi, reflecting the structure as part of the theoretical frame- ...

In this paper, we will study the management of resources associated with water through the municipal charters that King Manuel granted to the communities that lived in the commanderies of the Order of Christ in the 16th century. The aim is to identify not only specific determinations related to the use of these resources but also to point out specificities in their management according to their location as territories of the Order of Christ. At the same time, the tombs of the commanderies will be ...

Fragments of Muslim musical instruments have been found in archaeological excavations carried out in current Portuguese territory. However, they constitute a small number, if we compare them to other contemporary materials. This evidence is related to the fact that many were built with perishable materials, such as wood, skins, textiles, and bone. We also have some testimonies, which, as they are fragmentary, prevent their functional identification, and it is possible that others have not been duly ...

Tradition gives to bells, time markers par excellence, an apotropaic and prophylactic character. The sound signals they emitted established the order of the day, announced births and deaths; called for divine services and the festivities of the liturgical calendar, and warned of dangers.The constant recasting, combined with changes in the communities lifestyle, the automation of ringing, the decreasing number of active bell ringers, and the consequent forgetting of the knowledge associated with ...

The present work aims to study the bell-ringing tradition and the bells of the churches of Corte do Pinto and Mina de São Domingos, two villages in the municipality of Mértola, belonging to the same parish. In recent years, female community members have rung the bells of these temples. Through the oral memory of Ana Mendes, the current bell ringer of Corte do Pinto, we reveal the reality of the bell ringers in these villages.The bells of these two geographically close villages reflect the differences ...

Since musical instruments from the Romanesque period are practically non-existent, iconographic sources are particularly important to get close to the musical universe of that time. Studying the images allows us to shed a little on the way they were played, the relative dimensions of the instru-ments, their relationship with other artistic expressions, such as dance, for example, or to confirm other relevant elements. It should be noted that for the sculptors of that period, the figuration of instruments ...

The paper analyses the performance of I had too much coffee, by Ismael Ivo, directed by the German Ralf Schmerberg in 2002. From the audiovisual document, the human values expressed through the dancer’s body language bring forth the concepts of «colonial» and «decolonial». The audiovisual is rich in references to body language and can be interpreted through the concept of intrigue within Paul Ricœur’s narrative framework. The research examines and identifies the social meanings of coffee cultural ...

This paper aims to contribute with elements for the problematisation, expansion, and improvement of the study of African history textbooks in Brazilian education. Textbooks are often limited by new stereotypes, with images that erase the violence present in interracial relationships. On the other hand, the authorship of these images in textbooks still does not belong, for the most part, to black artists and intellectuals. We propose an approach to the art of Rosana Paulino, with the aim of thinking ...

Chinua Achebe, a Nigerian author, has been considered by critics as one of the most impor-tant founders of African literature, in reaction to the literature that until then had been produced on Africa. In the sequence of the most diverse colonial literary texts and the arguments that validated colonialism in Africa, always in a dimension of affirmation of white superiority and black savagery, and in which any value, history, or notion of culture was denied to African peoples, Achebe begins a mission ...

This study investigates intertextual clues of the role of racial categorisation in the (dis)alignment of the meaning attributed by opinion articles’ authors to the hashtag #SomosTodos-Macacos. The hashtag #SomosTodosMacacos was posted on the Instagram social network by Neymar Júnior on April 27, 2014, in response to a racist incident that occurred on the same day against his then-teammate Daniel Alves during a football match. The study is grounded in socio--cognitivist studies of Textual Linguistics ...

This paper aims to analyse two poems by Gessica Correia Borges from the perspective of Imagology, highlighting that she is a feminist, Black author, and is herself the «Other» in the literary panorama in Portuguese.To achieve this purpose, we refer to the importance of symbolic power and male domination that still subjugates our society (Bourdieu 2002; Bourdieu 1989) and which conditions the literary produc-tion of Black women writers, and we highlight the issue of sex and gender issues, to make it ...

This article focuses on the Estado Novo in the early 1930s and 1940s. The aim is to examine the Portuguese colonial imaginary, based on the visual narrative developed at three exhibitions: the Great Portuguese Industrial Exhibition of 1932, the First Portuguese Colonial Exhibition in 1934, and the Colonial Section of the Portuguese World Exhibition in 1940. In all cases, the Empire was exhibi-ted in miniaturised form through groups of villages and dwellings characteristic of the different colonies, ...

In medieval literature, female characters can affect the course of events by speaking before an audience. These women are often maternal characters. In this article, I will analyze a reconfiguration of this paradigm by considering the example of the matriarch Irmenschart, depicted in Willehalm (c. 1210-20) by the Middle High German poet Wolfram von Eschenbach. An astute speech characterizes the intervention of the maternal character in the narrative in the imperial court for the benefit of her son, ...

The paper analyses the representation of the mother figure in thirteen short stories by Lygia Fagundes Telles, published between 1949 and 2007. Proving her status as a major figure in contemporary Brazilian literature, Lygia poses the question from multiple perspectives, also using a wide diversity of styles and tones. In some of the narratives, more or less common and reasonably peaceful situations are enacted, but there are others that could illustrate a psychiatry or psychoanalysis manual. The ...

There are several mythical representations of the visceral connection of mothers to their children, transmitted by the Greek and Latin literary tradition. This text aims to present some of them based on two distinct themes: 1) motherhood as a threat to the world of men; and 2) the mother’s experience of losing her children. The textual corpus under discussion includes excerpts from Homer’s Iliad, Hesiod’s Theogony, and the Homeric Hymn to Demeter.
