Resumo(s)
O estudo das gárgulas enquanto representações do feio e do grotesco
nos edifícios religiosos revelou-se como uma importante aproximação ao
imaginário medieval e tardo-medieval em contexto nacional. Para além da
sua função utilitária, as gárgulas espelharam o quotidiano do homem, com os
seus medos e tensões, o seu fascínio por fenómenos sociais e
comportamentais e materializaram, sob forma artística, o confronto entre o
tecido religioso e o tecido social, entre a crítica e o exemplo, assumindo uma
relevante função pedagógica junto do público-alvo. Esta função catequizante
teve contornos especiais por causa do papel das gárgulas no contexto das
reformas religiosas do século XVI, o que coincidiu entre nós com o apogeu
da sua colocação.
The study of the gargoyles as representations of the ugly and the grotesque in religious buildings has proven to be an important approach to the medieval and late medieval imaginary in the national context. Apart from their utilitarian purpose, gargoyles mirrored the daily life of humans, their fears and tensions, their fascination with social and behavioral phenomena, and displayed, in the form of art, the confrontation between the religious and the social spheres, the critique and the example, taking on an important educational role amongst audiences. Such catechizing character gained special contours given the role of the gargoyles during the religious reforms of the 16th century, which coincided with the heyday of their placing in Portuguese constructions.
