    No quadro da crĂ­tica do Orientalismo (autores francofĂłnos : Abdel-Malek (1963), Tibawi (1964), DjaĂŻt (1978) e o anglĂłfono, Said (1978) propomos uma reflexĂŁo sobre a ausĂȘncia do debate em Portugal sobre esse tema, seguida de algumas consideraçÔes sobre a trajectĂłria desses estudos em Portugal, principalmente, na vertente de estudos ĂĄrabe-islĂąmicos, atendendo, por um lado aos contactos pioneiros com os vĂĄrios Orientes e, por outro lado, a um desenvolvimento tardio e inconsequente desses estudos em termos de estruturação e institucionalização, demonstrando um dĂ©fice e uma desadequação em relação aos desafios do presente em termos acadĂ©micos e pragmĂĄticos. É discutida tambĂ©m a pertinĂȘncia do conceito de “OrientalĂ­smo perifĂ©rico” em relação a Portugal proposto neste fĂłrum. SĂŁo ainda apresentadas algumas propostas no sentido de promover esses estudos, considerados como uma necessidade num mundo globalizadoIn the framework of the critique of the phenomenon of Orientalism and taking in consideration francophone authors such as Abdel-Malek (1963), Tibawi (1964), DjaĂŻt (1978) and the anglophone Said (1978), a reflection on the lack of this debate in Portugal is developed and the notion of “marginal Orientalism” regarding Portugal is discussed. A discrepancy between the pioneering role of Portugal regarding the contacts with different Orients and the deficit concerning the development of these studies, especially of Arab-Islamic studies, is described and analyzed and some proposals concerning their improvement in order to meet the challenges posed by the globalization are formulate

    Al-Andalus, ou l’Espagne musulmane, est devenue le paradigme d’une convivialitĂ© unique entre les diffĂ©rentes communautĂ©s religieuses qui permit une extraordinaire floraison des productions littĂ©raires, philosophiques, scientifiques et lĂ©gislatives. Elle est demeurĂ©e comme telle dans la mĂ©moire des Maures et des Juifs expulsĂ©s par l’avancĂ©e de la reconquĂȘte, et dans la mĂ©moire collective du monde islamique du Maghreb jusqu’à l’Inde. Elle reste perçue aujourd’hui comme un modĂšle de cohabitation..

    The Centenary of the Republic and the Republic of Letters: Arabic Studies in Portugal 1910–2010

    Get PDF
    The present essay deals with a specific phase in which Arabic language has been introduced as a new discipline in the university curriculum in Portugal. From 1914 until 1974 it was taught practically in only one university, after 1974 new universities were created and some of them have included this discipline in their curricula mainly as an optional subject or a free course model. We shall analyse the conditions in which its study has been carried out and the principal factors that contributed to the advancement of this discipline. This essay is based on the bibliography listed below that covers a significant part of the chronology considered and is complemented by recollection of information from scattered sources of differentiated reliability, pamphlets issued by universities and other institutions and in some cases on oral basis only. Therefore certain gaps or inaccuracy of dates may involuntarily occur

Il s’agit d’une pĂ©riode troublĂ©e et dĂ©chirĂ©e par les luttes internes en Europe, dues, d’un cĂŽtĂ©, aux ambitions hĂ©gĂ©moniques des Habsbourg, Ă  la montĂ©e du protestantisme et Ă  la menace ottomane, suite Ă  l’expansion ottomane dans les Balkans, en Europe Centrale et en Afrique du Nord, encerclant l’Europe de..

    Envoys, Princesses, Seamen and Captives

    A prevailing opinion has it that there were no Muslims in Portugal after the expulsion decree of 1496. However, while working on Portuguese–North African diplomatic and commercial relations in the 18th and 19th centuries, quite a contrary picture emerged revealing differentiated categories of Muslims. Apart from the most numerous group constituted by captives as a result of war, the Muslim universe also encompassed envoys, princesses and seamen. Their presence derived from the specific legal framework created in the wake of bilateral treaties concluded first with Morocco and later with other Barbary states. During the Ancien Regime period Muslim presence in Portugal had been an exception permitted only in certain specific cases. The situation underwent a complete change upon the establishment of the Liberal regime in 1834 which proclaimed that no restrictions were applicable to people professing other religions.Une opinion trĂšs largement rĂ©pandue veut qu’il n’y ait pas eu de Musulmans au Portugal aprĂšs le dĂ©cret d’expulsion de 1496. Cependant, le travail effectuĂ© sur les relations diplomatiques et commerciales entre le Portugal et l’Afrique du Nord au xviiie et au xixe siĂšcles, a fait Ă©merger un tableau trĂšs diffĂ©rent, rĂ©vĂ©lant des catĂ©gories diffĂ©renciĂ©es de Musulmans. En dehors du groupe le plus nombreux, constituĂ© de prisonniers de guerre, l’univers musulman comprenait Ă©galement des envoyĂ©s, des princesses et des marins. Leur prĂ©sence dĂ©coulait du cadre lĂ©gal spĂ©cifique crĂ©Ă© dans le sillage des traitĂ©s bilatĂ©raux conclu d’abord avec le Maroc et plus tard avec d’autres États de « Barbarie ». Durant la pĂ©riode de l’Ancien RĂ©gime, la prĂ©sence musulmane au Portugal constituait une exception, permise uniquement dans certains cas particuliers. La situation changea complĂštement lors de l’établissement du rĂ©gime libĂ©ral en 1834, qui proclama que plus aucune restriction ne s’appliquait aux personnes pratiquant d’autres religions.Prevalece uma opiniĂŁo que nĂŁo havia muçulmanos em Portugal apĂłs o decreto de expulsĂŁo de 1496. Contudo, estudando as relaçÔes comerciais e diplomĂĄticas Portugal – África do Norte nos sĂ©culos xviii e xix, emergiu uma imagem completamente oposta que revela categorias diferenciadas de muçulmanos. Posto Ă  parte o grupo mais numeroso constituĂ­do de prisioneiros, resultante da guerra, o universo muçulmano compreendia tambĂ©m emissĂĄrios, princesas e marinheiros. A sua presença derivava do quadro legal especĂ­fico criado na esteira dos tratados bilaterais concluĂ­da primeiro com Marrocos e, mais tarde, com outros Estados berberescos. Durante o perĂ­odo do Antigo Regime a presença muçulmana em Portugal tinha sido uma excepção, permitida apenas em certos casos especĂ­ficos. A situação sofre uma mudança completa com o estabelecimento do regime liberal de 1834 que proclama que nenhuma restrição era aplicĂĄvel Ă s pessoas que professam outras religiĂ”es
