Articulating art history, heritage studies and anthropological and sociological aspects, this project aims at analysing, surveying, documenting and contextualising the context of safeguarding the Portuguese-influenced heritage in the East, as well as the way it reverberates on the individuals who live it. Following the post-doctoral research entitled "Safeguarding of the Architectural Heritage with Portuguese Influence in India: Context and Criticism", the territories of South Asia with a context of Portuguese colonial presence were taken as reference for the present scientific project, allowing a wider contextualisation of the various existing issues. This cross-cultural heritage presents a whole set of different complexities that hinder, to a greater or lesser extent, its preservation. The main objectives are the production of innovative knowledge about an underdeveloped area, from a multidisciplinary point of view, where besides artistic studies, the perception of architectural, historical and socio-cultural aspects is also relevant.
