Resumo: | Despite some partial studies published in recent years, a comprehensive reading of Portuguese Geography has not yet been carried out in order to understand the role of geographic discourse in “colonial context” and the way in which this same discourse seems to have been reassessed, as the international climate around Portuguese colonial policy from the mid-1950s onwards aggravated (Pimenta et al., 2011; Oliveira and Paiva, 2019; Sarmento, 2019). Postcolonial theory teaches us that colonization not only transformed the colonized world, but also profoundly transformed colonizing societies, thus placing the question of colonialism at the heart of European modernity (Driver, 2006; Butlin, 2009). This means that we departed to this dossier pretending, as a fundamental aim, to gather a set of critical analyses on some of the most representative discourses and practices of Portuguese Geography of the time, on the “tropical world”. In doing so, we propose to contribute to the epistemological renewal of the discipline itself, which, in our view, and in line with Driver (2006), Bruneau (2008), Jazeel (2014), Clayton and Kumar (2019) and Clayton (2020), has not yet sufficiently reflected on this very complex moment in its history. |

A teoria pós-colonial ensina-nos que a colonização não só transformou o mundo colonizado, como também transformou profundamente as sociedades colonizadoras, colocando assim a questão do colonialismo no cerne da modernidade europeia (Driver, 2006; Butlin, 2009). Isto significa que partimos para este dossier assumindo como propósito fundamental reunir um conjunto de análises críticas sobre alguns dos mais representativos discursos e práticas da Geografia portuguesa da época sobre o «mundo tropical». Fazendo-o, propomo-nos contribuir para a renovação epistemológica da própria disciplina, que, em nosso entender – e em linha com Driver (2006), Bruneau (2008), Jazeel (2014), Clayton e Kumar (2019) e Clayton (2020) –, ainda não refletiu suficientemente sobre este momento muito complexo da sua história.Rede Brasileira de História da Geografia e Geografia HistóricaRepositório da Universidade de LisboaOliveira, Francisco Roque deSarmento, João2023-01-04T15:38:35Z20222022-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/55636porOliveira, F. de R. & Sarmento, J.

Despite some partial studies published in recent years, a comprehensive reading of Portuguese Geography has not yet been carried out in order to understand the role of geographic discourse in “colonial context” and the way in which this same discourse seems to have been reassessed, as the international climate around Portuguese colonial policy from the mid-1950s onwards aggravated (Pimenta et al., 2011; Oliveira and Paiva, 2019; Sarmento, 2019). Postcolonial theory teaches us that colonization not only transformed the colonized world, but also profoundly transformed colonizing societies, thus placing the question of colonialism at the heart of European modernity (Driver, 2006; Butlin, 2009). This means that we departed to this dossier pretending, as a fundamental aim, to gather a set of critical analyses on some of the most representative discourses and practices of Portuguese Geography of the time, on the “tropical world”.
