Resumo: To reflect on colonial artistic production from a post-colonial perspective means problematising its formal and conceptual dimensions which are found within the wider universe of visual discourse. Thus, within the context of reflection on imagistic discourse, which during the 20th century contributed to the construction of an imagined view of the “Portuguese colonial empire”, painting holds a privileged place in the domain of coloniality to help us understand this identity, memory and history while calling upon a multiplicity of experiences and pathways. The travels of the painter Fausto Sampaio (1893-1956), taking him from São Tomé to Macau, from Timor to Portuguese India, as well as throughout mainland Portugal, enabled him to put together a rare pictorial dossier of the Empire.

Nesse sentido, e tendo como âmbito a reflexão sobre o discurso imagético, que durante o século XX contribuiu para a construção de um imaginário do “império colonial português”, a pintura assume-se no domínio da colonialidade como um lugar privilegiado de leitura dessa Identidade, Memória e História, convocando uma multiplicidade de experiências e rotas. Os cruzamentos viáticos do pintor Fausto Sampaio (1893-1956) levaram-no de São Tomé a Macau, de Timor à Índia Portuguesa, passando por Portugal continental, colecionando um raro dossiê pictórico do impérioCHAM2017-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.57759/aham2017.36057https://doi.org/10.57759/aham2017.36057Anais de História de Além-Mar; Vol. 18 (2017); 283-313Anais de História de Além-Mar; Vol. 18 (2017); 283-3132795-44550874-9671reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://revistas.rcaap.pt/aham/article/view/36057https://revistas.rcaap.pt/aham/article/view/36057/25272Direitos de Autor (c) 2017 Maria João Castroinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCastro, Maria João2024-09-28T10:25:53Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/36057Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openairemluisa.alvim@gmail.comopendoar:71602024-09-28T10:25:53Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
