Orientalism in Portugal: A fragmented field of study
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 trajectória 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
défice e uma desadequação em relação aos desafios do presente em termos académicos e
pragmĂĄticos. Ă discutida tambĂ©m a pertinĂȘncia do conceito de âOrientalĂsmo perifĂ©ricoâ em
relação a Portugal proposto neste fórum. São 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
âmarginal Orientalismâ 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
David Bensoussan, LâEspagne des trois religions. Grandeur et dĂ©cadence de la convivencia
Al-Andalus, ou lâEspagne musulmane, est devenue le paradigme dâune 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 lâavancĂ©e de la reconquĂȘte, et dans la mĂ©moire collective du monde islamique du Maghreb jusquâĂ lâInde. Elle reste perçue aujourdâhui comme un modĂšle de cohabitation..
The Centenary of the Republic and the Republic of Letters: Arabic Studies in Portugal 1910â2010
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
Ădith Garnier, LâAlliance impie. François Ier et Soliman le Magnifique contre Charles V
Ădith Garnier prend comme objet dâanalyse les annĂ©es 1529-1549, une pĂ©riode relativement courte mais riche dâĂ©vĂ©nements aux consĂ©quences lourdes pour lâhistoire dâEurope, dâAsie et dâAfrique. Il sâagit dâune pĂ©riode troublĂ©e et dĂ©chirĂ©e par les luttes internes en Europe, dues, dâun cĂŽtĂ©, aux ambitions hĂ©gĂ©moniques des Habsbourg, Ă la montĂ©e du protestantisme et Ă la menace ottomane, suite Ă lâexpansion ottomane dans les Balkans, en Europe Centrale et en Afrique du Nord, encerclant lâEurope 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 PortugueseâNorth 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 quâil nây ait pas eu de Musulmans au Portugal aprĂšs le dĂ©cret dâexpulsion de 1496. Cependant, le travail effectuĂ© sur les relations diplomatiques et commerciales entre le Portugal et lâAfrique 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, lâunivers 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 dâabord avec le Maroc et plus tard avec dâautres Ătats de « Barbarie ». Durant la pĂ©riode de lâAncien RĂ©gime, la prĂ©sence musulmane au Portugal constituait une exception, permise uniquement dans certains cas particuliers. La situation changea complĂštement lors de lâĂ©tablissement du rĂ©gime libĂ©ral en 1834, qui proclama que plus aucune restriction ne sâappliquait aux personnes pratiquant dâautres 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 â Ăfrica 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

Lucette Valensi, Ces étrangers familiers. Musulmans en Europe (xvie-xviiie siÚcles)
La prĂ©sence actuelle dâenviron dix-sept millions de musulmans en Europe suscite lâintĂ©rĂȘt pour un phĂ©nomĂšne qui nâest pourtant pas nouveau et qui dans un passĂ© reculĂ©, celui dâavant la colonisation, avait connu une diversitĂ© et une distribution gĂ©ographique diffĂ©rente.
