Portugal Travel Warning Portugal History and Culture History Up to the Middle Ages, the history of Portugal is inseparable from that of Spain. Present-day Portugal became a part of the Roman province of Lusitania in the 2nd century BC. In the 5th century AD control of the region passed to the Visigoths, and in the 8th century it was included in the area of Moorish Muslim conquest. In 997 the territory between the Douro and Minho rivers (now northern Portugal) was retaken from the Moors by Bermudo II, king of León, and in 1064 the reconquest was completed as far south as present-day Coimbra by Ferdinand I, king of Castile and León. The reconquered districts were then organized into a feudal county, composed of Spanish fiefs.

attraction touristique Portugal - Les arts et la culture Thèmes : ville de porto, vin de porto, voie maritime, vieux quartiers, le fado, le taureau, musee national Portugal Les arts et la culture Enrichi par les expéditions à travers le monde et par sa position stratégique entre l'Europe et l'Orient, le Portugal présente une richesse artistique et architecturale incontestable. L'architecture Les palais, châteaux et églises impressionnent par leur immensité et leur souci du détail. Surtout la diversité des styles donne envie de tout visiter et témoigne à merveille de l'histoire du pays. Les architectures romanes, gothiques, manuélines et baroques rappellent l'influence incontestable à la fois de l'Europe, de l'Islam, de l'Inde et de l'Orient. Les azulejos L'empreinte majeure de l'architecture portugaise revient certainement aux azulejos, ces carreaux colorés de céramique polie -dont les bleus et blancs de l'époque baroque (XVIIIe siècle) sont les plus connus-, qui décorent les murs, parfois les sols et les plafonds des monuments, églises et palais. Leur origine remonte aux Maures. Leur utilisation s'est peu à peu généralisée jusqu'à recouvrir les façades de nombreux bâtiments et infrastructures publiques comme les restaurants, les immeubles d'habitation ou le métro. Peints à la main ou produits industriellement, ils racontent une histoire ou ne sont que décoratifs. Mais surtout, ils restent les témoins les plus représentatifs des styles picturaux successifs. Pour les passionnés, le Musée national de l'Azulejo à Lisbonne, dans les cloîtres de l'église Madre de Deus, est incontournable.

Journey to Portugal: In Pursuit of Portugals History and Culture Journey to Portugal: In Pursuit of Portugals History and Culture by Authors: Jose Saramago , Amanda Hopkinson , Nick Caistor Released: 06 March, 2002 ISBN: 0156007134 Paperback Sales Rank: List price: Our price: You save: Book > Journey to Portugal: In Pursuit of Portugals History and Culture > Customer Reviews: Average Customer Rating: Journey to Portugal: In Pursuit of Portugals History and Culture > Customer Review #1: Journey to Portugal Review I am reading this book and am laboring through it hoping it will get to something interesting or useful because I am planning on traveling through Portugal later this year. So far it has been very boring. I dont get a great insight of Portugals history or culture. It is mostly a travelogue of his town by town personal encounter with little to relate. So far its been very disappointing and I feel like its a waste of time. Journey to Portugal: In Pursuit of Portugals History and Culture > Customer Review #2: The translation misses I am sure Saramagos tales are more lively than they come across in this book. Although Im certain it was translated with care, the third-person narrative doesnt quite do it in English. I wish I had bought the Portuguese book and worked my way through, it is surely more lyrical and less clunky than this version.

77. Contemporary Portuguese Culture An auspicious opening with longterm consequences, that will lead to a more balanced social and cultural development in portugal. http://www.instituto-camoes.pt/cvc/contportcult/portugal.html

In 1415 the Portuguese set sail on an epic voyage that would make them the first to discover the ocean routes to India, Brazil, China and Japan, and at the same time found settlements on the east and west coasts of Africa. In the third quarter of the eighteenth century Portugal began to undergo its modernisation process. Against a background of economic interventionism and cultural enlightenment, the state organisation was reorganized and trade and industry were restructured. At the end of 2001 Portugal had a population of 10.3 million inhabitants, of whom 9.8 million live on the mainland. Population density is 112 inhabitants per square kilometre. Demographic studies indicate that there was positive growth of 4.6% between 1991 and 2001, while life expectancy stands at 75 years. Portugal has one of the youngest populations in the European Union: about 16.7% are under 15. Source: Portuguese National Institute of Statistics (INE)

78. Renegotiating The Culture Of School Science of scientific literacy, as they plan to translate that meaning into classroom practice, and as they renegotiate the culture of school science in portugal. http://www.usask.ca/education/people/aikenhead/portugal.htm

Renegotiating the Culture of School Science: Scientific Literacy for an Informed Public Professor Glen Aikenhead College of Education University of Saskatchewan Saskatoon, SK, S7N OX1 Canada glen.aikenhead@usask.ca home page: http://www.usask.ca/education/people/aikenhead A paper presented to Lisbon's School of Science conference commemorating its 30 years of teacher training; Centre for Educational Research, Universidade de Lisboa, Lisboa, Portugal, May 17, 2002. Science educators who have successfully changed aspects of school science know that their success depended on negotiating with many other people (colleagues, bureaucrats, teachers, administrators, etc.). Secondly, school science is an incredibly complex entity, tied as it is to the culture of: science, the nation, the community, the school, the teaching profession, and many more subcultures. Innovators know that school science is best viewed as a cultural entity itself. Therefore, any group wishing to improve science education in their country needs to renegotiate the culture of their school science. Social and educational realities of our times have caused many science educators worldwide to rethink science education and to propose a renewed culture for school science (for example, Aikenhead, 1980, 2000a; Hurd, 1975, 2000; Millar and Osborne, 1998). These educators usually treat students as future citizens whose scientific literacy should be sufficiently informed to deal with personal or social issues related to science. For these innovative science educators, the future of science education lies in scientific literacy for an informed public.
