To this end it constructs a perspective in which the inscription of the other as other is affirmed as a condition for writing and reading from which there flows a persistent dispersal of meaning. An analysis of this dispersion allows us to highlight how reason and imagination unfold each other to move away from the aesthetics of appearance, showing themselves to be inseparable in the poetic establishment of spaces for reply and solicitation that make an imponderable opening of the aesthetic to the ethical-political.","PeriodicalId":42713,"journal":{"name":"PORTUGUESE STUDIES","volume":"36 1","pages":"132 - 146"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45628955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article focuses on a transnational Portuguese woman of letters, Francisca Wood, and her novel Maria Severn (1869), initially serialized in the pioneering weekly periodical that she directed, A Voz Feminina, later renamed O Progresso (1868–69). It draws on preliminary archival research to provide new biographical information on Wood, which sheds fresh light on her progressive convictions and British connections. Using as source text what appears to be the only surviving copy of Maria Severn in book form — recently discovered in the British Library — I examine the role of Wood as cultural mediator and suggest that the incontrovertible originality of her novel may stem from her creative assimilation of Jane Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell and George Eliot.KEYWORDS.

This double criticism generates an ideological undecidability: if a critique of ‘cordiality’ is deemed necessary, how can that critique be achieved without recourse to ready-made ideologies, that is, falling into an intellectual Bovarism, as much open to criticism as cordiality itself? Sérgio Buarque identifies in the Portuguese realism of the sixteenth century an organicist tradition capable of offering Brazilians a solution to this dilemma. This article investigates that key moment in Buarque’s historical imagination.","PeriodicalId":42713,"journal":{"name":"PORTUGUESE STUDIES","volume":"27 1","pages":"78 - 95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5699/PORTSTUDIES.27.1.0078","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46000309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pedro's daughter, this article examines representations of Brazil by Europeans in the early nineteenth century. It finds that the images created were not a neutral reflection of the exotic, but a complex reception based upon a wide variety of prior influences, amongst them the tradition of the grand tour, the Arcadian ideal, the concept of the picturesque, and scientific theories of Nature, such as Humboldt's. Nevertheless, the encounter with Brazil involved a true exchange of ideas, not only bringing European tastes such as the country garden to Brazil, but also taking back to Europe new images of the tropics, making this, as the author calls it, a 'two-way street'. Baseando-se no paisagismo britânico e europeu, assim como nos livros de viagens de personagens tais como Mary Graham, preceptora da filha de D. Pedro, este artigo examina representações do Brasil feitas durante a primeira metade do século XIX. Conclui que as imagens formuladas não representavam uma reflexão neutra do exótico, mas antes uma recepção complexa, fundada sobre uma grande variedade de influências prévias, entre elas o grand tour, o ideal arcadiano, o conceito do pitoresco, e as teorias científicas da Natureza, tais como as de Humboldt. Mesmo assim, o encontro com o Brasil implicava uma troca de ideias, que trazia os gostos europeus, tal como o jardim rústico, ao Brasil, mas que levava também para a Europa novas imagens dos trópicos. Tornou-se assim, como aponta a autora, uma 'rua em dois sentidos'.","PeriodicalId":42713,"journal":{"name":"PORTUGUESE STUDIES","volume":"23 1","pages":"36 - 54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46078297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
