Full details

Brief Introduction DEEPAVALI COURSE: origins, stories and current practices of the biggest Indian festival With João Pedro Oliveira DATE | Saturdays | 24 and 31 October TIME | 2:30 pm – 5:30 pm PARTICIPANTS | Min. 10 PRICE | €40 Session 1 - The Ramayana and the return of light: Sita, Rama in the Deepavali imaginary In the first session, one of the most influential narratives associated with Deepavali, particularly in northern India, will be explored: the return of Rama to Ayodhya, accompanied by Sita and Laksmana, after fourteen years of exile, marked by the city lit with oil lamps. The session presents Ayodhya as a central place in the Ramayana imaginary, allowing an understanding of how "light" becomes a collective gesture of welcome, justice and renewal. The relationship between this epic Ayodhya and the historical and contemporary Ayodhya(s) existing in different contexts will also be explored, discussing how the epic is inscribed in geography, memory and cultural practices. Finally, the session invites the public to get to know the Ramayana as one of the most influential texts in the cultural universe of South and Southeast Asia, highlighting its legacy and how it continues to inspire rituals, literature, theatre, music and dance in multiple regions. Session 2 - The many narratives of Deepavali In this second session, the origin of the Deepavali (Diwali) festival will be presented. Starting from the idea that Deepavali was consolidated over centuries from local traditions, this session invites the public to explore the main narratives and mythical-religious frameworks associated with the festive period, involving different deities and legends depending on the region and community. The session also addresses the multi-religious dimension of Deepavali: although it is widely recognised as a major Hindu festival, it also has its own meanings in Jainism and Sikhism; and, in some specific contexts, it is also celebrated by Buddhist communities. Finally, a presentation will be made on the rituals and practices related to the festival, highlighting differences and continuities between regions of the Indian subcontinent and diaspora communities. João Pedro Oliveira holds a PhD in Culture Studies from the Catholic University of Portugal, founding member of Asian Hub and fellow of the Oriente Foundation. He regularly teaches on Asian cultural and religious traditions, as well as dedicating himself to the practice, performance and dissemination of world music.

Breve Introdução CURSO DEEPAVALI: origens, histórias e práticas atuais da maior festa indiana Com João Pedro Oliveira DATA | Sábados | 24 e 31 de Outubro HORAS | 14.30 às 17.30 PARTICIPANTES | Mín. 10 PREÇO | €40 Sessão 1 - O Ramayana e o regresso da luz: Sita, Rama no imaginário do Deepavali Na primeira sessão, será aprofundada uma das narrativas mais influentes associadas ao Deepavali, particularmente no norte da Índia: o regresso de Rama a Ayodhya, acompanhado por Sita e Laksmana, após catorze anos de exílio, assinalado pela cidade iluminada com lamparinas. A sessão apresenta Ayodhya como lugar central no imaginário do Ramayana, permitindo compreender como a “luz” se transforma num gesto coletivo de acolhimento, justiça e renovação. Será também explorada a relação entre esta Ayodhya épica e a(s) Ayodhya(s) históricas e contemporâneas existentes em diferentes contextos, discutindo de que modo o épico se inscreve na geografia, na memória e nas práticas culturais. Por fim, a sessão convida o público a conhecer o Ramayana enquanto um dos textos mais influentes do universo cultural do sul e sudeste da Ásia, destacando o seu legado e a forma como continua a inspirar rituais, literatura, teatro, música e dança em múltiplas regiões. Sessão 2 - As muitas narrativas do Deepavali Nesta segunda sessão, será apresentada a origem do festival Deepavali (Diwali). Partindo da ideia de que o Deepavali se consolidou ao longo de séculos a partir de tradições locais, esta sessão convida o público a explorar as principais narrativas e enquadramentos mítico-religiosos associados ao período festivo, que envolvem diferentes divindades e lendas consoante a região e a comunidade. A sessão aborda ainda a dimensão multirreligiosa do Deepavali: embora seja amplamente reconhecido como um grande festival do hinduísmo, também tem significados próprios no jainismo e no siquismo; e, em alguns contextos específicos, é igualmente celebrado por comunidades budistas. Por fim, será feita uma apresentação sobre os rituais e práticas relacionados com o festival, destacando diferenças e continuidades entre regiões do subcontinente indiano e comunidades da diáspora. João Pedro Oliveira Doutorado em Estudos de Cultura pela Universidade Católica Portuguesa, membro fundador do Asian Hub e bolseiro da Fundação Oriente.
