The fellowship of St.Diogo : new Christian judaisers in Coimbra in the early 17th century
Get PDFDr Antonio Homem was a respected teacher in the University of Coimbra, a Canon in the Cathedral and an illustrious scholar. He was also the heir of a long Jewish family tradition. His great-great-grand father lived and died as a Jew. His great-grandfather, his grandmother and two of his uncles were among his relatives to have been sentenced
as judaisers by the Inquisition. His own father kept the Law of Moses, and taught it to all his children, without the knowledge of his wife, an Old Christian of noble lineage.
His concern for the situation of the New Christians in Portugal eventually made him build up a congregation of judaisers, which he called the Fellowship of St Diogo as a tribute to a Capuchin friar who had been executed a few years earlier as an apostate and defender of the Jewish Law. His congregation grew to include over sixty people,
including clerics, physicians, lawyers and students, as well as merchants and farmers. Its leader gave it a corpus of doctrine and eventually a distinctive liturgy, which showed influence from the Catholic Church. The Fellowship also inspired the creation of judaiser conventicles
in three major Monasteries in the Coimbra district, where a relatively large number of nuns held cult meetings and paid homage to Friar Diogo as a martyr of the Law of Moses.
After several years of activity, the Fellowship was investigated and dismantled by the Inquisition. Most of its members were arrested and sentenced. Dr AntOnio Homem was himself taken into custody, charged with heresy and apostasy, as well as sodomy (he was a known paederast), and finally handed over to the secular arm for execution.
His dream of building up a judaiser community in Coimbra was shattered. The Fellowship members who survived either left the country and joined the orthodox Jewish communities in the Netherlands and elsewhere, or stayed in Portugal and gradually lost their Jewish consciousness. Descendants
of some of them can still be found near Coimbra

A Universidade de Coimbra e o Brasil
Get PDF”O Brasil é um país fascinante. A música, as paisagens, a diversidade das gentes, a alegria, a imensidão, tudo nos consegue encantar. Sem o Brasil a lusofonia seria um fenómeno “local”; com o contributo inestimável deste grande país ela é uma estrela mundial em ascensão. A Universidade de Coimbra (UC) teve uma importância decisiva na formação do Brasil. Foi em Coimbra que estudou quase toda a elite brasileira envolvida na independência do seu país. José Bonifácio de Andrade e Silva, o “patriarca da independência”, foi inclusivamente professor em Coimbra.No mundo global em que vivemos, todas as sociedades têm de olhar para o planeta no seu conjunto e não apenas para a sua região ou país. O devir da Universidade de Coimbra está pois indelevelmente ligado ao do Brasil, país que desempenha um papel muito relevante para a UC, não só como charneira entre o novo mundo do Sul e o velho mundo do Norte, mas também porque é com a ajuda da UC - que recebe atualmente milhares de estudante brasileiros - que o Brasil aprofunda o processo de construção da sua própria identidade, reconstrói a matriz cultural das suas raízes e contribui para a evolução cosmopolita das suas e das nossas gentes. Esta exposição é por tudo isto um dado mais no (re)encontro entre a Universidade de Coimbra e o Brasil, permitindo afinal concluir que a ligação é funda, sempre existiu e só pode ficar ainda mais forte.” Palavras de Abertura de João Gabriel Silva, Reitor da Universidade de Coimbra.<br /

How do gods interfere in your behavior?
No full textIn this paper we will present a theatrical psychotherapy process where Gods introduce a scene
and a mask to be played by an actor-patient. This process is enrolled in a virtual reality set
composed by images, symbols and mythology. In this perspective, psychotherapy consists in a
mediation process that establishes a negotiation between Gods or between men and Gods. To
explain this divine game, we were particularly inspired by Georges Dumézil’s Ideological
Trifunctional Theory, which establishes the existence of three divine and mythic structures. In
our perspective, we might recognize these divine structures in three corresponding dionysiac
characteristics: the Nobility/Recognize, the Conflict/Power and the Fecundity/Regeneration.
These three characteristics of drama structure our lives and put us into actio

Education through theater equal opportunity project being a girl being a boy
Get PDFDramatic narratives give emphasis to the process of storytelling of
daily life. The script or story is constructed as a dialogue between actors. The
words acquire a signification through a dynamic process of communication,
where narratives are written not with a pencil but with the body, not written with
the mind but with anima. In this paper we present a phenomenological analysis
of an experience conducted in a middle grade school of Italy with the proposal
to analyze how boys and girls see themselves and the opposite gender and how
they perceive the equal opportunity between female and masculine roles
