Abstract (EN):
Aristides de Amorim Girão (1895–1960) —the
first Portuguese geographer to submit a doctoral
thesis to the University— presented ‘As descrições
das viagens dos séculos XVI e XVII e a Geografia
humana’ [Descriptions of 16th and 17th century travel
and Human Geography] to the XVI International
Congress of Geography, held in Lisbon in 1949. The
character of the international audience is certainly
not unrelated to the general tone of the lecture —
markedly anti-determinist and with some hints of
organic humanism and national-catholicist spiritualism—,
nor to the chosen theme: the geographical
descriptions of missionary travellers in the 16th and
17th centuries.
