Heterodoxy, Gender, And The Brazilian Inquisition: Patterns In Religion In The 1590s, Carole A. Myscofski Dec 1997

Heterodoxy, Gender, And The Brazilian Inquisition: Patterns In Religion In The 1590s, Carole A. Myscofski

Carole Myscofski

In 1591, the Portuguese Inquisition visited Salvador, the colonial capital of Brazil. In the course of that and the following year, 80 men and 38 women confessed their sins during two periods of grace, before the tribunal of Visitor General, Notary, and Bailiff (and their Secretary). While the men and women who came before the tribunal to confess shared an understanding of public shame and personal responsibility, they nonetheless diverged in the crimes they admitted and in their attitudes toward their moral duty. This article analyzes the pattern of similarities and differences in men's and women's confessions and relates that …

Masculinidad Y Nación En La Narrativa Decimonónica: El Caso De Sab Y Aves Sin Nido, Cesar Valverde Dec 1997

Masculinidad Y Nación En La Narrativa Decimonónica: El Caso De Sab Y Aves Sin Nido, Cesar Valverde

Cesar Valverde

En las novelas Sab (1841) y Aves sin nido (1889) podemos ver movimientos contrastantes en sus intentos de establecer parámetros para el ser nacional: la primera privilegia la mirada hacia el interior de Cuba, de la ciudad al campo, hacia aquello que es "propio" y que distingue a Cuba de otros espacios, mientras que la segunda mira hacia afuera, del poblado rural hacia la ciudad, desde el interior del Perú hacia más allá de las fronteras. Contrastan también los modelos genéricos y raciales que utilizan: además de tener una mirada "centrípeta" hacia lo raigal de Cuba, Sab problematiza los papeles …

These immigrant periodicals demonstrate that Ladino and Spanish were for the most part mutually intelligible languages. Yes, Sephardim did not always welcome the overtures of Puerto Ricans or Spaniards,

The Role Of The Nossa Senhora Aparecida Festival In Creating Brazilian American Community, Adam Arenson Dec 1997

The Role Of The Nossa Senhora Aparecida Festival In Creating Brazilian American Community, Adam Arenson

Adam Arenson

Once a year, the Brazilians who live in the Boston area come together at St. Anthony Church in Cambridge to celebrate the festival of Nossa Senhora Aparecida (Our Lady who has Appeared), view the statue of the Virgin Mary that has brought miracles to the people of Brazil, and honor to this patroness. The festival, attended by hundreds, is primarily religious but also seems to have important cultural aspects. Is there a Brazilian community? If so, what role does this festival play? The researcher attended the festival in 1997, providing questionnaires in Portuguese and English, taking photographs, and arranging to …
