Auto de Mofina Mendes

Auteure: Gil Vicente

Nombre de pages: 38

O Auto de Mofina Mendes, de Gil Vicente, foi apresentado pela primeira vez em 1534, em Lisboa, ao rei D. João III e endereçada às matinas do Natal. Entre a Anunciação e o nascimento de Jesus, surge a história pastoril de Mofina Mendes. Mofina, cujo nome significa "infelicidade", perde os animais que devia ter guardado.

Auto dos mistérios da virgem ou Auto de Mofina Mendes

Auteure: Gil Vicente

Nombre de pages: 61

O "Auto dos mistérios da virgem ou Auto de Mofina Mendes" (c. 1524) é constituído por um prólogo e por três partes. O prólogo recai nas mãos de um Frade, que inicia um sermão de carácter jocoso. Este sermão (num latim macarrônico) tem, apesar do toque humorístico vários objetivos: contrastar a gravidade religiosa do Mistérios, aludir à incapacidade de se decifrar os enigmas da Natureza, colocar as questões do livre- arbítrio e de predestinação, afirmando que a insensatez humana reside no esquecimento das virtudes cristãs. De facto, o discurso não é uma simples crítica contra os pregadores de então, ou sátira da escolástica medieval (o que terá motivado a censura de 1586 e 1624). Mofina Mendes está ao serviço de um dos dois pastores (Paio Vaz e André), que iniciam a moralidade. Mofina é a "infelicidade mesma": só acontecem desastres à jovem pastora, perdendo os animais que devia ter guardado. Mesmo assim, o patrão paga-lhe com um pote de azeite. A jovem contente, põe-se a dançar e parte o pote. O auto termina com uma Natividade e com a adoração ao menino Jesus no Presépio, por parte da Virgem, de José, das damas de honor, do Anjo e dos...

Feminist Genealogies, Colonial Legacies, Democratic Futures

Auteure: M. Jacqui Alexander , Chandra Talpade Mohanty

Nombre de pages: 468

Feminist Geneaologies, Colonial Legacies, DemocraticFutures provides a feminist anaylsis of the questions of sexual and gender politics, economic and cultural marginality, and anti-racist and anti-colonial practices both in the "West" and in the "Third World." This collection, edited by Jacqui Alexander and Chandra Talpade Mohanty, charts the underlying theoretical perspectives and organization practices of the different varieties of feminism that take on questions of colonialism, imperialism, and the repressive rule of colonial, post-colonial and advanced capitalist nation-states. It provides a comparative, relational, historically grounded conception of feminist praxis that differs markedly from the liberal pluralist, multicultural understanding that sheapes some of the dominant version of Euro-American feminism. As a whole, the collection poses a unique challenge to the naturalization of gender based in the experiences, histories and practices of Euro-American women.
