Listen up peeps Auto de fe From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Auto-da-fe) Jump to: navigation, search Representation of an Auto de fe, (1475). The painting is inaccurate: even though burning at the stake occurred in some cases, it never took place during this religious ritual.The phrase auto de fe refers to the ritual of public penance of condemned heretics and apostates that took place when the Spanish Inquisition or the Portuguese Inquisition had decided their punishment (that is, after the trial). Auto de fe in medieval Spanish means "act of faith". The phrase also commonly occurs in English in its Portuguese form auto da fe (or auto da f). The auto de fe involved: a Catholic mass, prayer, a public procession of those found guilty, and a reading of their sentences (Peters 1988: 93-94). They took place in public squares or esplanades and lasted several hours: ecclesiastical and civil authorities attended.[citation needed] Artistic representations of the auto de fe usually depict torture and the burning at the stake. However, this type of activity never took place during an auto de fe, which was in essence a religious act. Torture was not administered after a trial concluded, and executions were always held after and separate from the auto de fe (Kamen 1997: 192-213). The first auto de fe took place in Seville, Spain, in 1481, six of the men and women that participated in this first religious ritual were later executed. The Inquisition enjoyed limited power in Portugal, having been established in 1536 and officially lasting until 1821, although its influence was much weakened with the government of the Marquis of Pombal, in the second half of the 18th century. Autos de fe also took place in Mexico, Brazil and Peru: contemporary historians of the Conquistadors such as Bernal Daz del Castillo record them. They also occurred in the Portuguese colony of Goa, India, following the establishment of Inquisition there in 1562-1563. Sounds 'interesting' don't you think?

Seeing as myspace seems to be back to full health, thought I'd bump this one up. Feel free to add and join the mailing list. Competition still ongoing. www.myspace.com/interestingmusic

Yes, I can tell you that IMP have some good things lined up between now and December. I think Mike will do a mailout with announcements soon. Get signed up.

Not specifically, but will include to an extent. MySpace is a start I suppose.

This is a new one and will replace the old format. We didn't think it was polite to just assume everyone will want us to sign them up on their behalf. No, not Jenny. I'm Mark and will be helping IMP out for the time being with some things.

that is true stuart, but you can still sign up for the mailing list if you so desire.
