Vision and Violence. Black Women’s Bodies on Display (1900–1975)
Caught on Camera
Photography in Portuguese Colonial Africa, 1860–1975
India in Florence
Florence as the capital for a new united Italy became a flourishing, and brief, centre for indian studies. This experience was always entangled with Angelo De Gubernatis’s biography and initiatives and when he left for Rome, the city lost its role. Having decided to leave his rich and prolific archive in Florence’s main public library meant, however, that Gubernatis returned to the city and placed it on the map of 19th century “oriental studies”.…

Goa Displayed in Goa
In 1860, Goa hosted the Industrial Exhibition of Portuguese India with 230 exhibitors and over 4,000 articles on display, all described in a comprehensive printed catalogue. How can we explain that Goa, considered the most neglected Portuguese colony by the late 19th century, had an “industrial exhibition” five years before the first international exhibition to take place in Portugal, in 1865, and twenty years before the first exhibition held in …
Black Women's Bodies in the Portuguese Colonial Visual Archive (1900-1975)
The pervasiveness of images of black women's unclothed bodies in the Portu-guese colonial visual archive from the late nineteenth century to the 1970s-in photographic postcards, propaganda leaflets, colonial exhibition ephemera or as illustrations in newspapers-demonstrates that the gendered and racialized body of (unnamed) women was a powerful trope of colonial hegemony. The Portuguese colonial context, similar to other colonial contexts, reveal…
A Photograph of Four Orientalists (Bombay, 1885)
By analyzing the history of a photograph taken in a Bombay photo studio in 1885, this article explores notions of the production of knowledge on India and cultural dialogues, encounters, appropriations, and conflicts in colonial British India in the late nineteenth century. The photograph was taken after a Hindu religious ceremony in honour of the Italian Sanskritist Angelo de Gubernatis. Dressed as a Hindu Brahman, he is the only European photog…
Altri orientalismi
Other Orientalisms analyses various forms of knowledge about India through the circulation of people, ideas, knowledge, images and objects between Florence and Bombay. In the second half of the nineteenth century Florence became an important centre for studies on India, manifested in the organisation of exhibitions, museums, journals and international conferences. Inspired by the relationship between two Indianists - the Italian Angelo De Guberna…
Orientalismos periféricos? O historiador goês José Gerson da Cunha (Bombaim, 1878)
Partindo de um texto escrito em 1878 sobre o orientalismo português na Índia dos séculos XVI e XVII e do seu autor, José Gerson da Cunha, este artigo questiona conceitos de centro e periferia, cosmopolitismo ou marginalidade nas suas relações com os lugares de produção e os agentes de conhecimento. Ao confrontar as referências historiográficas e reflexividade da abordagem de Gerson da Cunha com as características nacionalistas de um texto sobre o…
