Resumo(s)
Identificada a importância de Goa no contexto político-militar do subcontinente
indiano, assim como a necessidade de dotar o recém-criado Estado da Índia de uma
praça com um hinterland significativo, Afonso de Albuquerque decidiu-se, em 1510,
pela sua conquista. Vinte anos depois, Goa é elevada a capital, consolidando-se
e cimentando-se uma estratégia de ocupação territorial. Entre o pragmatismo e a
tratadística, desenvolveu-se um sistema defensivo em crescimento concêntrico e
gradual, transformando-se Goa na principal peça de afirmação da Coroa Portuguesa
como principal potência naval do Índico no século XVI. É proposta uma leitura do
antigo sistema defensivo, hoje a memória da construção de um território, de uma
comunidade com a sua identidade, correspondendo a um conjunto integrado de
bens com valor patrimonial. A sua legibilidade é, por isso, determinante para a
identificação da especificidade de Goa no contexto da Ásia do Sul, com o desenho
a assumir-se como ferramenta fundamental de investigação.
Once Afonso de Albuquerque had identified the importance of Goa within the political-military context of the Indian subcontinent, as well as the need to equip the newly created State of India with a fortified city with a significant hinterland, he decided to conquer it in 1510. Twenty years later, Goa was promoted to the status of capital, allowing a strategy of territorial occupation to be consolidated and reinforced. Between pragmatism and theory, a growing, concentric and gradual defensive system was developed, rendering Goa the main statement of Portuguese Crown as the main naval power in the Indian Ocean in the sixteenth century. We propose a look at the old defensive system, which today is the legacy of a constructed territory, and the identity of a community, comprising an integrated ensemble of assets with heritage value. The objective is, therefore, to determine the specific nature of Goa within the context of South Asia, with drawing as the key investigation tool.
