There was a global language of commercial development around the making of these events, even if the context of Goan exhibitions had nothing to do with the consumer culture that could be seen in cities such as London or Paris. This was not contradictory to the aim of featuring items that were only on display but not for sale and which belonged to a culture of collection rather than commerce. The Goa Exhibition, like so many other exhibitions in this period, appropriated different kinds of paradigms of display and classification, which shows the flexibility of exhibition spaces in adjusting to a multiplicity of aims, interests, discourses and agents.

It combined the idiosyncratic choices of individuals with the scholarly domains of knowledge that were taking shape in the nineteenth century, such as ethnography. It combined the personal collections of those who, not by chance, were also involved in their creation, with contemporary ways of thinking about a territorial space.

In other colonial spaces, this would be an easier exercise.

In an exhibition in British India, for example, the names themselves would be sufficient to distinguish those who were white British men from those who were Indian men, most probably Hindu, but also Muslim McKeich, Therefore, one has to go beyond the names and delve into other biographical material in order to better understand who the members of the exhibition committees were. They were not only the local Portuguese administrative authorities, but also Goans belonging to the local elite, some of them Catholic and ethnically Indian, of the Brahmin caste.

The Portuguese citizen, Cunha Rivara, for example, who wrote on an extremely diverse array of issues related to the past and present of Goa, translated an article into Portuguese on the Exhibition of Madras which took place in , shortly before the first Goan Exhibition. An adjoining section had an ivory crucifix and a figure of Our Lady of Pity, with some objects on display being directly associated with the contemporary exhibition of the body of St.

These items ranged from local coins to Catholic images and drawings of local churches, convents and forts, Goan sights, which had also been identified through historical and travel writing and travel guides. In this period, however, when forced conversion was no longer the aim of the colonial government, even if investment in Catholic hegemony still was, Hindu material culture was no longer a threat.

The prominence of female exhibitors in Goa is analogous to the widespread participation of women as exhibitors in contemporary European universal exhibitions Vicente, The jury commission — constituted of 17 men from different parts of Goa 34 — attributed the prizes within a ceremony that took place on the 24 th of May. The example of the Madras exhibition in the previous year, also including other parts of India, must have been an influence.

However, through the case of Indian nineteenth-century exhibitions, we can see how this division does not apply.

In the case of Madras, in , or Goa, in , there was an effort to involve neighbouring regions which, as we have seen, belonged to other imperial, and therefore, national, contexts. Henry John Carter, a surgeon who worked as a geologist and zoologist; Dr. Bhau Daji Lad, the Indian physician, Sanskrit scholar and antiquary, who had been born in Goa before moving to Bombay; some illustrious members of the Parsi community, Manockjee Cursetjee, a businessman and judge from Bombay, known for being a reformer and promoter of female education and Kharshedji Rustomji Cama, a Parsi scholar and political reformer; and George Birdwood, the only visitor on whom we could actually find references to.

He actively participated in the definition of an Indian material and visual identity both in India itself and outside of India — in London, the metropolitan capital of the empire, and in Paris, the main nineteenth-century global site for the display of national artistic identities through universal exhibitions. Exhibitions in Goa became a laboratory for self-reflection, self-definition, and self-identification, a way of valuing their own local specificities and differences in relation to other places.

Did the perception that Portuguese India was in a historical phase of decline after the previous centuries of achievements foster the space for a local historical and national consciousness to emerge? The Industrial Exhibition of , the first of a series of exhibitions which took place in Goa for almost one hundred years, should be placed in a wider context, in which identities were being stated and in which historical pasts, contemporary presents, and envisaged futures, even when conflicting and contradictory, were also being actively defined.

In British India, Gandhi was promoting exhibitions of swadeshi [indigenous goods] as part of a wider movement of Indian empowerment, which, ultimately, led to independence Trivedi, In Goa, exhibitions, and the political, symbolical and pragmatic value attributed to them, were not affected by the transition from the Monarchy to the Republic which took place in , nor by the transition from a democratic secular Republic to a right-wing dictatorship allied with the Catholic Church, around , still the context of the last major Goan exhibition, in The justification for their organisation might change, but the overall idea behind the exhibition remained that of presenting the most comprehensive picture possible of the Goan territory and of encompassing the widest knowledge on Goa while promoting local commerce, agriculture, and industry as well as arts and crafts.

Ultimately, what was at stake through the exhibition apparatus was also the empowering quest for self-knowledge, the act of gazing — as if in a mirror — at oneself, even when the reflection was kaleidoscopic.

The Convention of Gramido was an agreement signed on 29 June , in Casa Branca on the town square of Gramido, in Valbom, Gondomar, Portugal, to end the civil war of the Septembrists against the Cartistas known as the Patuleia.

Text Tenente General D. Valbom is a city and a former civil parish in the municipality of Gondomar, Portugal. It was elevated to city status on 9 December For generations Valbom was a fishing village, due to its location by the river Douro. Today, local crafts dominate the economy. It was here, in the house called "Casa Branca", that the Convention of Gramido was signed on 29 June , ending the civil war of the Septembrists against the Cartists known as the Patuleia. Retrieved 23 July The revolt resulted from social tensions remaining from the Liberal Wars, exacerbated by great popular discontent generated by new military recruitment laws, fiscal alterations and the prohibition on burials inside churches.

The instigator of the initial riots was a woman called Maria, native of the freguesia of Fontarcada, who would become known by the nickname of Maria da Fonte. As the initial phase of the insurrection had a strong female element, she ended up giving her name to the revolt.

The uprising afterwards spread to the remainder of the country and provoked the replacement of t Public flogging of a civilian by Government troops during the Patuleia. The Patuleia occurred after the Revolution of Maria da Fonte, and was closely associated with her. The war lasted 8 months, pitting the Cartistas with the support of queen Maria II against an unnatural coalition of Septembrists and Miguelists.

The focus of resistance to the new government was the Septembrist 'Junta of Porto', whose military leader, the First Count of Bonfim, was defeated by Marshal Saldanha at the siege of Torres Vedras on 22—23 December , and sent into exile in Angola. The war ended in a clear Cartista victory, as This was caused mainly by the inefficiency of the monarchic governments as well as the monarchs' apparent lack of interest in governing the country, aggravated by the British ultimatum for the abandonment of the Portuguese "pink map" project that united Portuguese West Africa and Portuguese East Africa today's Angola and Mozambique.

The first defensive structures were believed to be constructed by these colonists, who worked in the older castros into their fortifications. Roman occupation of the territory was followed by successive waves of Suevi and the Visigoths who repurposed the structures.
