Abstract: Resumo: A expansão geográfica vivenciada pela Europa a partir do século XVI não se limitou ao avanço das fronteiras territoriais. O surgimento do Novo Mundo trouxe à tona toda uma infinidade de novidades naturais, que contribuíram para o desenvolvimento de diversas áreas do saber. Coletar, intercambiar correspondências e materiais de estudo, entre outras práticas serviram para produzir e colocar em circulação novos conhecimentos, novos produtos e usos das espécies naturais americanas.

From its origins in Asia, cultivation of Oryza sativa L. in Portugal has had to adapt to local agroecological conditions. Since the late eighteenth century, there has been significant human intervention in rice production, particularly through public policies aimed at increasing production to achieve national food self-sufficiency. Using national and regional statistics on rice production, this article analyses how public policies on rice cultivation over the last 160 years have impacted and interacted with territorial agroecological conditions and the genetic characteristics of the rice varieties being cultivated. We concluded that public policies led to increased production by favouring the geographical reorganisation of rice production based on the rice varieties used and changing territorial agroecological conditions.

The Whale in the Cape Verde Islands: Seascapes as a Cultural Construction from the Viewpoint of History, Literature, Local Art and Heritage

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Cultural constructions of landscapes, space and environments, and of people’s relationship with nature, have in the Cape Verde Islands a perspective of their own and might have been mediated by the whale. To address perceptions about these marine mammals, historical sources, literature, art, memory and heritage were considered. Whaling influenced history and diaspora and is reflected in literary productions. Remains of whales are found in museums and used as decorative pieces and local art. We found the Cape Verdean seascapes as being culturally and naturally constructed and the whale occupies a true ‘place’ of convergence.

O artigo apresenta um estudo de caso sobre a obra Etiópia Oriental de frei João dos Santos, tendo em conta sua singularidade na produção de conhecimento sobre a África centro-oriental. Observamos os sentidos atribuídos ao saber que provém da experiência e as formas de validação epistêmica na alta idade moderna. A produção de saberes que articula os centros metropolitanos às fronteiras dos impérios marítimos desvela dinâmicas das zonas de contato e regimes de circulação próprios dessas redes imperiais. Tomando como objeto os registros sobre animais africanos, pontuamos as formas de agenciamento e redes locais, os modos de mediação, tradução e a dimensão negociada dessa produção textual.
