Fifth session of Transatlantic Biographies, bringing together the trajectory of Heitor Furtado de Mendonça, visitor of the Inquisition in 16th-century Bahia, and the experience of those involved in the Santidade de Jaguaripe, a resistance movement in the Recôncavo of Bahia.

Brief Introduction Heitor Furtado de Mendonça against the anti-catechesis of Santidade. Transatlantic Biographies is a programme of visits to the permanent exhibition of the Museu de Lisboa - Palácio Pimenta, followed by a conversation about slavery, the Inquisition and religiosity. Synopsis In the fifth session of Transatlantic Biographies, we bring into dialogue two trajectories that, at first glance, seem distant: that of Heitor Furtado de Mendonça, as the 1st Visitor of the Portuguese Inquisition in 16th-century Bahia, and the collective experience of the women and men involved in the Santidade de Jaguaripe, a religious resistance movement in the Recôncavo of Bahia. On one side is the man of orthodoxy, representative of established power. On the other side are the followers of Santidade, who experienced another vision of the world, marked by indigenous spirituality transformed by catechesis and by the refusal of domination. This encounter between biographies allows us to think about the crossings, tensions and resonances that shaped the Luso-Atlantic world. By reconstructing these lives, we propose an exercise in listening and historical imagination. Prices General - 5€
