This weekend, check out a series of talks on 16^th - 18^th century Goa. In addition to that, there’s also an informative session on snakes.

GOA IN THE EARLY MODERN PERIOD

Fundaçao Oriente India, Panjim, presents 'New Research Approaches on Land, Villages and 4 Communities in Goa (16^th -18^th centuries)' on August 10, 2024.

The event will feature a series of talks, which will be as follows:

• ‘The IberLand Project: Goa in Comparative Perspective’ by Manuel Bastias Saavedra, from Leibniz University, Germany.

•  ‘The Jesuits and the Dispute over the 'Islands' of Raia Village (Salcete, 1587-1625)’ by Patricia Souza de Faria, from the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

• ‘Surveying the Faith at Ground Level. Communities, Land and Sociability (16^th and 17^th centuries) by Susana Mateus, from the Alberto Benveniste Chair of Sephardic Studies, University of Lisbon, Portugal.

This event aims to share and debate new research related to the history of Goa in the early modern period, focusing on the relevance and connection between the land, the villages, and the communities.

Given Goa's significance as the capital of the Portuguese empire in Asia, and its unique social landscape, this event provides an opportunity to understand how the Portuguese and the local population interacted and shaped the territory.
