Abstract(s)
Nesta reflexão analisa-se a cronística portuguesa da Expansão, impressa durante o século XVI. Visa esboçar-se
o modo como então foi narrada uma religiosidade nestes discursos. Tomo alguns dos topoi da viagem marítima e da
sua representação narrativa, tendo em atenção que este discurso historiográfico segue uma modalidade de escrita
própria, a denominada por cronística da Expansão. Esta expressa a vontade de um poder político, o de Portugal, no
contexto das nações europeias do século XVI, legitimando uma presença noutros espaços extra-europeus. Importa,
por isso, atender aos contextos em que os sentimentos de religiosidade são expostos e o modo como tal é descrito.
A importância que a rota do Cabo tem para a presença portuguesa nos espaços extra-europeus dita a particular
atenção dada neste texto às narrativas que a sinalizam.
This paper focus Portuguese expansion chronicles that were printed during the 16th century, in order to understand how a certain religiousness was then described in these discourses. We analyze some of the sea voyage topoi and their narrative representations in a specific writing strategy of historiographical discourse, usually known as Expansion Chronicles. These narratives express the purpose of Portuguese political power within the context of the 16th century European nations, hopefully legitimizing Portuguese presence in non-European spaces. Therefore, we ponder on the contexts in which religiousness emerges and eventually is described. The importance of the Cape Route for Portuguese presence in non-European spaces also demands a specific concern on the way those narratives depicts this space.
