A Coroa e a Igreja na Lisboa de quinhentos

In Early Modern Portugal, the relationship between the Crown and the Church alternated between moments of competition, in which both forms of power fought for primacy on the political stage, and moments of collaboration, in which efforts were combined to attain a common goal. Such tensions are particularly visible in the religious buildings patronized by the Crown during the reigns of kings D. Manuel and D. João III. This article focuses on a set of churches commissioned (the royal chapel of São Tomé, in Lisbon, or the church of Nossa Senhora da Conceição, in Tomar), reformed (the convent of the Ordem de Cristo, in Tomar), or used for some particular ceremony (São Domingos or the Sé, both in Lisbon) during this period. It analyses them both according to the geographic distribution and the aesthetic options they document, and it identifies how they capture the political projects they correspond to and embody. Two final churches (São Sebastião and the monastery of São Vicente-de-Fora, both in Lisbon) will be discussed, showing how, during the two following reigns, religious buildings remained emblematic of the transformations through which the relationships between their royal patrons and the Church went.No Portugal moderno, as relações entre a Coroa e a Igreja resolveram-se entre momentos de concorrência em que as duas formas de poder competiram pela primazia no palco das tensões políticas, e outros de colaboração em que os dois concertaram esforços para a persecução de objectivos comuns. Tais tensões são particularmente visíveis nos edifícios religiosos a que a Coroa se associou durante os reinados de D. Manuel e D. João III. Este artigo centra-se num conjunto de igrejas encomendadas de raíz (a capela real de São Tomé, em Lisboa, ou a ermida de Nossa Senhora da Conceição, em Tomar), reformadas (o convento de Cristo, em Tomar) ou usadas para uma cerimónia particular (São Domingos ou a Sé, ambas em Lisboa) durante estes reinados, quer na sua distribuição geográfica, quer nas opções estéticas que documentam, procurando nelas identificar sintomas dos projectos políticos a que corresponderam e que materializaram. Ainda duas igrejas (São Sebastião e o mosteiro de São Vicente-de-Fora) mostram como os edifícios religiosos serão ainda, nos dois reinados seguintes, sintomas das transformações por que passam as relações entre os monarcas que as encomendaram e as instituições religiosas a que foram entregues

Portugal, uma retrospectiva: 1498

Se há anos de viragem na história da humanidade, 1498 merece estar certamente entre eles. Ano em que uma armada comandada por Vasco da Gama, que tinha partido de Lisboa, completou pela primeira vez uma viagem marítima para a Índia, alterando decisivamente as rotas do comércio global e o rumo das relações entre o Ocidente e o Oriente, 1498 tornou-se canónico da história global. Mas como foi visto 1498 pelas gentes de 1498? Como se chegou a 1498? Que importância teve a chegada à Índia — não para os séculos vindouros — mas para as pessoas da segunda metade do século XV? O que nos diz a arte do reinado de Dom Manuel — chamemos-lhe ou não «manuelina» — sobre a importância relativa da Ásia e da Europa nas preocupações da coroa portuguesa nesse ano e nos seguintes? Essas são as perguntas que motivam este ensaio historiográfico.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Exploitation of industrial application of FLASH to sinter ceramics

FLASH is an electric field-assisted sintering technique recently proposed to densify materials in a more sustainable, energy reductive and cost-effective way than conventional sintering (CS). FLASH sintering promotes the densification of materials by using a combination of temperature and electric field. The use of electric field allows a decrease in the sintering temperature, and as important as well, in the sintering cycle duration. The advantages of FLASH, when compared with other field-assisted techniques, are: low investment, no need for specific atmosphere and dies, and specimen shape versatility.

A case study of the use of GPR for rehabilitation of a classified Art Deco building: The InovaDomus house

Ancient buildings in historical town centers can be protected by Cultural Heritage legislation, thus implying thatany rehabilitation must respect their main architectural features. These concerns also apply to Modern and Contemporary buildings, in particular if they are important examples of architectural styles from those periods.These extra problems, or motivations, add to the inherent structural delicacy of ancient building restoration thatrequires detailed knowledge of the building foundations, characteristics and materials, modification history, infrastructure mapping, current pathologies, etc., all relevant information for an informed rehabilitation project.Such knowledge is seldom available before the actual rehabilitation works begin, and the usual invasive preliminary surveys are frequently expensive, time-consuming and likely significantly alter/damage the building's mainfeatures or structural integrity. Hence, the current demand for indirect, non-invasive, reliable and high resolutionimagery techniques able to produce relevant information at the early stages of a rehabilitation project.The present work demonstrates that Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR or Georadar) surveys can provide a prioriknowledge on the structure, construction techniques, materials, history and pathologies in a classified ModernAge building. It is also shown that the use of GPR on these projects requires carefully designed surveys, takinginto account the known information, spatial constraints, environmental noise, nature and dimensions of the expected targets and suitable data processing sequences.Thus, if properly applied, GPR produces high-resolution results crucial for sound engineering/architectural interventions aiming to restore and renovate Modern and Contemporary buildings, with (1) focus on the overall quality of the end-result, (2) no damage inflicted to the existing structure, (3) respect of the building's historicalcoherence and architectural elements and characteristics, that is, its Cultural Heritage value.Most of the findings and applications discussed in this work can be seen as an approximation to model studies, sothat, relevant information can be drawn from the different investigated situations. Therefore, owing to the natureand the range of the problems encountered in this case study, it is also expected that the presented GPR data andinterpretation will provide important clues and guidance in the planning and investigation of similar projects andproblems

O património do 5.º duque de Bragança, D. Teodósio I

PTDC/HAH/71027/2008 UID/HIS/04666/2013D. Teodósio I, 5.º duque de Bragança, morreu em 1563. Sobreviveram-lhe o duque herdeiro, a muito jovem viúva D. Brites e dois filhos menores cujos direitos tinham também de ser acautelados. As tensões familiares e a complexidade das partilhas levaram a que, ao longo dos três anos seguintes, dezenas de pessoas inventariassem exaustivamente o recheio do Paço Ducal de Vila Viçosa, listando mais de 45 mil objetos, dos vestidos da duquesa aos botões do duque, dos tachos e panelas da cozinha às sumptuosas alfaias litúrgicas da capela, das luxuosas tapeçarias às armas com que o duque equipava o seu exército. O resultado foi o maior inventário do Portugal quinhentista, e um dos maiores da Europa desse período. Ao debruçarem-se sobre este documento de riqueza incomparável, os estudos deste volume reconstroem a vida aristocrática em múltiplas vertentes, no preciso momento em que Portugal operava a sua transformação de país pequeno da periferia da Europa em potência imperial ultramarina. Este livro resulta do projecto De Todas as Partes do Mundo: o Património do 5º duque de Bragança, D. Teodósio I, financiado pela FCT () e sediado no CHAM. O presente volume, dos estudos, é complementado por documentação reunida no 2.º volume que está disponível em acesso aberto.publishersversionpublishe
