Between sins and virtues. A look at the feminine condition in medieval daily life through sacred and secular songs

Antonio Celso RIBEIRO

Original title: Entre Pecados e Virtudes. Um olhar sobre a condição feminina no cotidiano medieval a partir de cantigas sacras e seculares

Published in Music in Antiquity, Middle Ages & Renaissance

Keywords: Eroticism, Female condition, Joglarezas – Soldadeiras, Middle Ages, Social class, Ŷawari.

The present work intends to briefly analyze the role of the medieval woman from her social class whether she is a well-born woman, or a slave, God fearing or mistress of her needs and desires, lover or loved one, courtesan, intelectual and artist and their interest-relationships with eroticism. Therefore, we will briefly discuss on these roles and their implications for society at the time, especially for the joglarezas/soldadeiras and ŷawari – slave-singers specially trained within Arab-Muslim culture, outlining the boundaries between public and private spaces and between the sacred and the profane.

The representation of Eroticism in Art and Literature

Almerinda da Silva LOPES, Lívia Santolin BORGES

Original title: A representação do Erotismo na Arte e na Literatura

Published in Art, Criticism and Mysticism

Keywords: Art, Eroticism, Literature, Sade.

The present work is focused representation of eroticism as a literary and artistic genre. For the development of this proposal, it was necessary to define the term eroticism, but also explain how to use this theme in art and literature. To that end, we need to address, commenting since the period of cave painting, through classical Greek art, Roman and Oriental art, until you get to modernism; as well as review the literature in Portugal in the twelfth century, the literature in the Renaissance and the French Revolution and the works of Marquis de Sade.

Woman and eroticism in the Galician-Portuguese troubadour lyric

Pedro Carlos Louzada FONSECA, Márcia Maria de Melo ARAÚJO

Original title: Mulher e erotismo na lírica trovadoresca galego-portuguesa

Published in Mulier aut Femina. Idealism or reality of women in the Middle Ages

Keywords: Cantigas de amigo, Eroticism, Galician-Portuguese troubadour lyric.

It is an approach of the female images reproduced in the cantigas de amigo “Fui eu, madre, lavar meus cabelos” by Johan Soarez Coelho and “Levou s’ aa alva, levou s’ a velida” by Pero Meogo, both outstanding troubadours Galician-Portuguese. In the cantigas de amigo, eroticism appears as the theme of the possibility of satisfaction, of promise, of desire or its negation, and of the closeness of happiness. In this sense, it is intended in this paper to reflect on the recurring images in the lyricism of these minstrels and how ethical elements of loyalty, courage, tenderness are treated by an erotic-cultural aspect that makes the medieval nobility capable of transforming the sufferings of love into beauty, offering in this way a meaning and a suitable value for feeling.
