Abstract

[Periods of intense cosmopolitanism and global prominence have occasionally emerged in Lisbon’s long, mukilayered, and inward-turned history. The most famous of them was in the early modern age, when the city became a hub of global flows of trade, peoples, riches, and ambitions related to the European overseas expansion, in which the Portuguese played an important role (Godinho 1982–1983, Couto 2003, Pinheiro 2011). With the influx of people, things and experiences from around the world, Lisbon might have become a diverse, multicultural, and global city, but its cosmopolitan moment was a short one. The alliance of the absolutist monarchy and the Roman Catholic Church, supported by the Inquisition, efficiently neutralized whomever they considered opponents. Diversity was not welcome during the Portuguese ancien régime.]
