From ancient times until today, it has grown in importance in modern times as a concept. The Literature has always portrayed it: many and many writers have depicted the human hospitality, both concrete and metaphorical, and its contrary, the inhospitality. The poem entitled La Carestia, written by the 18th-century Sicilian poet Domenico Tempio, underlines the social conflict between the aristocrats and the poorest. The former despise the impolite and ignorant people, and mock them; the latter perceive such an attitude and react with resentment. No hospitality, no human solidarity, no acceptance are possible in the society: Catania doesn’t change and it is rife with separation and distance.","PeriodicalId":115624,"journal":{"name":"Revista Portuguesa de Humanidades","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130440100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By placing Yugoslavia against the larger background of Balkan history, the author doesn’t cease to question himself about how it was possible to reinvent the ghosts of XIXth Century Nationalism (as if we were back to the Balkan wars of the beginning of the XXth century), this time mixed not only with the ambitions of the Great Powers, a constant in Modern Balkan History, but also with a new and threatening power: the capacity to mobilize populations through modern media discourse, namely television, which is able by itself to “create” facts. Organized within an assemblage of “galleries” that refer to the multiple facets of the author’s memories, our text does not have the aim of contextualizing the book within the rest of Álvaro Guerra’s literary production, but to do it taking into account the historical, anthropological and sociological spaces that his Yugoslav experience managed to highlight. Our central argument is that, within the tension between memory and barbarism, the author manages to find in the strength of his testimony a way of exorcising the drama of the catastrophe.","PeriodicalId":115624,"journal":{"name":"Revista Portuguesa de Humanidades","volume":"128 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132184951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In that retelling of the beginnings of human experience, the Iliad and the Odyssey – and the extensive constellation of mythical works that derive from both – adopting as fundamental the theme of conflict, privileged as their peculiar framework the Trojan War, which the ancient Greek worldview believed to have been the stratagem chosen, by divine determination, to alleviate the excessive weight of the earth, granted to men by the gods as a provisional dwelling. While they sought in Troy to conquer the lot of fortune that they considered their own, the unfortunate mortals, coerced by superior interference, unleashed with their guilt and misery the crises that would plunge them into misfortune, irrevocably assuming their mortality in the face of the eternal bliss of the gods. In this generalised context of conflict, the dynamics of hospitality – based on the fundamental respect for otherness and the promotion of the most basic human rights – seem to consubstantiate in the sphere of human socialisation a basic ethic of peculiar relevance in the hierarchy of Homeric values. Within this peculiar expressive framework, the symbolic re-reading of the Iliad and the Odyssey, as the first significant testimonies about the Homeric ethics of hospitality, is imposed.","PeriodicalId":115624,"journal":{"name":"Revista Portuguesa de Humanidades","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132594370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reflection starts from the discussion about the social conduit and political consultations of female and male characters represented in the tragic narrative. It is know that the tragedies present a set of behaviors and attitudes that was linked with the ethical and moral constructions of citizens. Normally, foreigners were associated with truculent actions and images of violence, anger, savagery, fury, between others. In this repertoire, Senecan tragedy followed, as it is proposed, a similar guideline once the representations of foreigners and their objectionable traits turned into rhetorical devices. It becomes, then, relevant to comprehend the role of foreigners as a construct of deviant behaviors from roman aristocracy in the imperial court.","PeriodicalId":115624,"journal":{"name":"Revista Portuguesa de Humanidades","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133210062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There, everyday life includes many celebrations, more or less opulent, that constitute spaces of relevant social and personal interaction, and, ultimately, of hospitality, community and communion with nature. Collective feasting (“agape”) stands out among these moments of simple happiness, particularly the multitudinous picnic that closes the otherwise unsuccessful hunting journey for the mysterious creature. Its location in Chapter II and the presentation of a catalogue of hunters that parodistically evokes the Achaean Catalogue in the second canto of the Iliad, together with the use of Homeric allusions, allow the parallel between the countryside agape and the numerous feasts narrated in the Homeric poems, along with their concept of hospitality and happiness, expressed in some of the scenes engraved on Achilles’ shield. The parody involves the inversion of some fundamental features of Homer’s heroic world, with the valorisation of popular figures and the subversion of serious moments, such as the epic speech or song at the end of the feast, attributed not to a Nestor or Demodocus, but to a disgusting beggar, who takes the opportunity to deliver an anarchist sermon, with evangelical overtones.Thus, and in line with his thought, Aquilino blends the classical and Christian heritage, achieving at the end of the chapter a moment of communion between humans and also with nature, which was after all the goal of the “mystagogic entity” and his human avatars.","PeriodicalId":115624,"journal":{"name":"Revista Portuguesa de Humanidades","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132729831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
