My reading follows the challenge the reader is confronted with, as a sort of enigma, at the beginning of the novel: «did the [UN] soldiers die? Were they killed?». Looking for an answer, it ponders those issues of life and death posed by the fictive world of Tizangara. Those concepts are understood by taking into account not only Walter Benjamin’s positions, in his Critique of Violence, but also the thoughts of both Emmanuel Lévinas and Jacques Derrida. They are helpfull to grasp what is at stake, from the vantage point of an ethical and political critique of violence, not only for father Muhando — the character that is the organizing principle of the entire plot, and whose vision seems to be heavily influenced by judaism — but also for key-characters such as the wizard Zeca Andorinho and the old Sulplício being, both belonging to the circle of those that are closer to him.

In 1584, King Philip II of Portugal invited the Italian militar architect Leonardo Torriani to reorganize the defensive system of the Canary Islands, threatened by English and French privateers and pirates. Torriani remained there until 1593. King Philip II did not limit himself to fulfilling his royal duties. Based on direct observation and on all kinds of written and oral information, he left us the manuscript 314 of the Reserve Section of the General Library of the University of Coimbra, an important documental source of historical, geographical, cartographic, artistic and linguistic nature, illustrated with the most beautiful watercolors.

In this text, I analyze the descriptions and interpretations of various natural phenomena that appear in the Portuguese travel literature from of the 16th and 17th centuries: waterspouts, St. Elmo’s fire, bioluminescence, and lunar halos. This text employs D. João de Castro’s Roteiro de Lisboa a Goa as an outline, comparing Castro’s descriptions to those in Os Lusíadas, História trágico-marítima, and Antonio Pigaphetta’s The first voyage round the world, among others. By analyzing these historical and literary sources, I intend to show that the tone used in describing the natural phenomena can be a clear indication of each author’s purpose in his text — a microcosm of the approach adopted and of the arguments created by the author, reflecting his political or social outlook in sixteenth or seventeenth-century Portugal.

This article problematizes from the relationship between two discursive materialities (the blog sustained by the writer Rodrigo España, from Salta, Argentina, during 2015, and the audiovisual transduction undertaken by Simón Baeza’s short film in 2016) and the transductive links that connect both productions. The thesis that guides the analysis allows us to recognize in such contrast the forms of overflow and aberrancy of the literary, ruled by the globalized experience of a literature that circulates outside books, disseminated in intermediate and transgeneric relations.

From the end of the 18th century and the early 20th century, mutual associations asserted themselves as the main providers of health care to the most disadvantaged classes. However, only a small number created specific infrastructures to provide this care. Based on the analysis of the evolution of the Mutual Aid Association of Employees in Commerce of Lisbon (ASMECL), the first mutual association to create medical infrastructures in Portugal, we argue that the almost non-existence of mutualist medical infrastructures was due to the incapacity of most of the mutualist structures to adapt to the transformations that took place in the health care field in the early twentieth century.

Erasmus of Rotterdam (circa 1466-1536) was one of the most important figures of the humanistic movement of Europe in the first half of the sixteenth century. In Praise of folly (1511), The war and Complaint of peace (both of 1517), the Dutch author addresses the subject of war, showing armed clashes as absurd, irrational, and making an unconditional defense of the negotiated resolution of conflicts. Frankness, vehemence and, in the case of Praise, humor do not make concessions to the powers of his time. Nobles, priests and intellectuals are equally criticized. By emphatically condemning wars, the writer, translator and theologian occupies a unique place in his time and is the forerunner of modern democracies. The author’s idea of God will also be addressed.

Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen’s poetry of the real develops around some elements that characterize the writer’s literary universe: the sea, the garden, the house, the classical art and the night landscapes. The amazement before the beauty of the visible, brings human beings closer to nature and God. This paper will focus on Sophia’s quotes of fruits whithin her poetic and narrative work. In her writing, fruits can be linked to her childhood memories; it can show a straightforward example of Nature’s beauty; or it can establish metaphors based on isotopies shared with objects belonging to other semantic fields. In the western tradition some fruits, including apples, are a symbol of temptation and lust, whereas in Sophia’s writing they are trigger reconnection with the ancestors and are full of literary dignity.

I worked for three years with Jorge de Sena, at the University of California, Santa Barbara, as lecturer in Portuguese. At the time I was already familiar with his work. The publication of the third series of Portuguese lyric, 1958, had been essential for my knowledge of Portuguese poetry from the 30s to the late 50s. The intimacy with Sena contributed decisively to my intellectual development. Pessoa, among many other authors from the Lusophone world, was one of the main subjects of my courses, and Sena’s essays on his poetry were a great help. I remember very fondly the frequent visits with my family to Randolph Road, where we always felt at home.
我在加州大学圣巴巴拉分校(University of California, Santa Barbara)担任葡萄牙语讲师，与豪尔赫·德·塞纳(Jorge de Sena)一起工作了三年。那时我已经很熟悉他的作品了。1958年出版的第三套葡萄牙抒情诗，对我了解从30年代到50年代末的葡萄牙诗歌至关重要。与塞纳的亲密关系对我的智力发展起了决定性的作用。在葡萄牙语世界的许多其他作家中，佩索阿是我课程的主要主题之一，塞纳关于他的诗歌的论文是一个很大的帮助。我非常愉快地记得我和家人经常去伦道夫路，在那里我们总有宾至如归的感觉。

Based on the reading of some poets of the 16th century, which explored the topos of changing, through which one gets the irreversible asymmetry between the cycles of nature and of human life, the text presents a brief approach of the poem «As quatro estações eram cinco» by Jorge de Sena. The goal is both to highlight affinities and emphasize differences in depicting time between the 20th century poet and his predecessors.
