Abstract:

Giovan Battista Sidotti (1668-1715) landed on Yakushima in 1708, disguised as a samurai. He was captured and first sent to Nagasaki and the next year to Edo (Tokyo) in the Kirishitan yashiki. There he was questioned by a Japanese Confucian scholar Arai Hakuseki (1657-1725), who, after their four conversations, wrote the Seiyo kibun in 1715. In this work there are some elements and aspects that describe Portugal and the lusophone culture in East Asia.

Esta conferência é organizada no âmbito da linha temática «Ásia: Povos, Poderes, Intercâmbios».
