RELIGIOUS SCULPTURE OF THE CHILOÉ ARCHIPELAGO, FROM THE 17TH TO THE 21ST CENTURY

Despite its central role in religious life of the region, the sculptural tradition of the Southern Chilean Chiloé Archipelago, ranging from the 17th century to the present day, has been vastly understudied. Isidoro Vázquez de Acuña’s 1994 volume Santeria de Chiloe: ensayo y catastro remains the only catalogue of Chilote sculpture. Though the author includes photographs of a vast array of works, he does not attempt to place the sculptures within a chronology, or consider their place within the greater Latin American context. My thesis will place this group of works within a chronological and geographical context that reaches from the 16th century to the present day, connected to the artistic traditions of regions as far afield as Paraguay and Lima. I will first consider the works brought to the Archipelago by religious orders – the Jesuits and Franciscans – as well as influences on artistic style and religious culture throughout the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. I will focus in particular on three works generally considered to be from the 17th and 18th centuries – the Virgin of Loreto at Achao, the Saint Michael at Castro, and the Jesus Nazareno of Caguach – using visual analysis and sifting through generations of primary and secondary sources to determine from where and when these sculptures came. With this investigation as a foundation, I will consider how they inspired vernacular sculptural expression and trace ‘family trees’ of vernacular works based on these precedents. Vernacular artistic traditions are often viewed as derivative and lacking in skill, but Chilote sculptors in fact engaged with a variety of outside influences and experimented with different sculptural styles. I will conclude by considering which aspects of these styles Chilote artists chose to incorporate into their own work, alter or exclude, artistic decisions that shed light on the Archipelago’s religious and cultural fabric.

Situación de la profesión de bibliotecario público en la Universidad de Mallorca (1770-1808)

La Universidad de Mallorca consigue en 1770, por donación real, las bibliotecas que habían formado los Jesuitas en sus colegios de Montesión y San Martín en Palma y el de San Ignacio en Pollença. El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar a los bibliotecarios que van a estar al cargo de esta biblioteca, universitaria y pública, formada con la unión de las tres mencionadas bibliotecas. Se analizan también todas las solicitudes que se envían al rey Carlos III desde Mallorca para ocupar dicho cargo. La metodología utilizada ha sido la consulta de la documentación generada en la época y conservada en archivos históricos de Madrid y Palma. Los resultados de la investigación se pueden resumir en que la profesión de bibliotecario en la Mallorca de la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII tiene prestigio y está socialmente bien considerada.

Paul Perny y el aprendizaje de la lengua china : estudio del Dictionnaire français-latin-chinois de la langue mandarine parlée como parte de una obra didáctica

This paper defends the idea that the Dictionnaire français-latin-chinois de la langue mandarine parlée (1869), written by French clergyman Paul Perny, represents a groundbreaking work within the French to Chinese multilingual lexicography based on its strong communicative stance. It outlines the relationship between Perny’s work and the sinological tradition initiated by the Jesuits in China, and further analyzes the dictionary’s organizational structure, including the nature of its lexical inventory. It is noteworthy that this dictionary features a large number of terms belonging to the Catholic religion, even though it is possible to identify a significant and systematic presence of vocabulary specific to pagan Chinese tradition. The Dictionnaire français-latin-chinois de la langue mandarine parlée also stands out for including the vocabulary of modern Chinese along with numerous expressions and terms related to Chinese culture which enable a closer understanding of the Chinese cultural universe.

Exploration of portuguese-bengal cultural heritage throught museological studies

The Portuguese came to Bengal in the early 16th century for trading. Between 1575 and 1600, they established many colonies on the banks of river Ganga, like Chinsura, Hooghly (Porto Pequeno), Satagaon, Gopalpur and Bandel, covering the eastern part of India. During their stay, Portuguese built many churches, schools and charitable institutions. Churches of Augustinians and Jesuits became popular tourist destinations until today. Although by the 18th century, the Portuguese presence had almost disappeared from Bengal with the emergence of British imperialism, the 500 years old (approx.) Portuguese culture is still living in modern Bengal, in the form of tangible and intangible heritage. Traces of the Portuguese impact could be seen in Bengali language, literature, folk-tales, folksongs, cuisines, agriculture, religion, cinema and trade. Some of these are included in the academic curriculum of history at school, college and university levels. In this context, research has been undertaken in the past and is still ongoing in several universities. However, heritage studies under a museological point of view have not yet been initiated at the university level. Though Goa, Panaji, Calicut, Chennai and Nagapattanam were the Portuguese centers for long periods and research has been conducted there along with the establishment of some museums,

Um olhar sobre o "Bau" do laboratório de Física da ESNA : Contributo para a valorização da herança do Colégio de S. Fiel

No final do século XIX, o Liceu de Castelo Branco debatia-se com baixa frequência de alunos. A isso não foi alheio a abertura do Colégio de S. Fiel, colégio jesuíta. A situação de ''penúria" da escola pública contrastava com S. Fiel. Este estabelecimento de ensino, com um plano de estudos eclético, bons laboratórios e material científico actual e de qualidade, adquirido a prestigiados fabricantes de instrumentos, permitiu a actividade prática desenvolvendo nalguns alunos um gosto pelas Ciências. Com a expulsão dos jesuítas, em 191O, o liceu herdou os dispositivos do colégio. Muitos destes dispositivos foram perdendo valor de utilização comparados com outros de fácil manipulação. Arrumados dispersamente e por vezes desmembrados, urgia voltar a juntá-los de novo recriando a colecção do Colégio S. Fiel. Este aspecto exigiu um trabalho de "mãos na massa" que nos mobilizou fortemente, já que ia consistindo em pequenas descobertas diárias, contribuindo para o enriquecimento deste espólio. O objectivo principal do trabalho aqui apresentado centrou-se na valorização dos dispositivos constituintes desta colecção explorando a sua origem, a sua função e a sua contextualização, didáctica na época, reconhecendo a sua actualidade científica e pedagógica. ABSTRACT; ln the end of the 19th Century, the Grammar School of Castelo Branco was facing a situation of low attendance of students. That was due to the opening of S. Fiel boarding school, a Jesuit school. The situation of «penury» of state schools contrasted with that of S. Fiel. This boarding school, with eclectic curricula, good labs and updated, quality, scientific material acquired from very prestigious manufacturers of instruments enabled the practical activity, developing in some students the taste for science. With the expelling of the Jesuits, m 1905, the Grammar School of Castelo Branco inherited the instruments and materials from S. Fiel boarding school. Many of these materials were no longer user-friendly compared with others which could be handled more easily. Kept in different places and sometimes scattered, it was absolutely necessary to collect them again, in order to recreate the collection of S. Fiel. This aspect demanded «to be working on », which encouraged us more and more as small daily discoveries were being made, contributing therefore, to improve the quality of this asset. The main purpose of the work presented here, is concerned with the importance and worth given to the materials which constitute this collection, exploring its origin, function, didactic and time context and recognizing its scientific and pedagogic modernity.
