| contents | Jesuit buildings in China and Japan: a comparative study Sofia Diniz Historia In this article we compared the Jesuit buildings erected inthe missions of Japan and China in the 16th and 17th centuries.We began the analysis on the way those houses and churcheswere acquired, and even properties, but the focus was given tothe way they looked outside, their internal structure, and functions,and naturally the decoration used in both places, that is,houses and churches.The application by the Jesuits of the so-called accommodationpolicy in these missions had distinct results, for witch thearchitecture built in these parts was a clear example. We are able tosee if the fathers of the Society of Jesus tried to get closer to thelocal architecture, or not, and that depended mostly on thecultural, social and political context they were in. We can also seeif the theorical orientations given, in particular the ones byAlexandre Valignano in the Advertimientos, had a real application. 2001 artículo científico 0874-8438 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=36100307 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=361 Bulletin of Portuguese - Japanese Studies application/pdf Universidade Nova de Lisboa Bulletin of Portuguese - Japanese Studies (Portugal) Num.3 |
