Abstract(s)
O Asilo de San João foi fundado en Lisboa, en 1862, por iniciativa dun grupo de masóns, para garantir asistencia e educación a mozas novas, até entón á garda da congregación relixiosa das Irmás da Caridade. Este estudo, que parte da consulta de fontes documentais, nomeadamente de informacións contidas en informes e contas da Institución, ten por obxectivo dar a coñecer o contexto no que o Asilo foi instalado e cales foron os principais aspetos que caracterizaron o seu funcionamento, con notas que convidan a un ollar sobre o seu cotián, ao longo do século XIX. A súa aparición navegou entre o debate acerca do papel que as congregacións relixiosas tiñan na educación dos máis desfavorecidos e o espírito filantrópico dunha sociedade que vivía coa crenza no progreso material e social. Da investigación realizada, saliéntase a preocupación de dotar ás mozas asiladas de competencias para se integraren na sociedade, e tamén as dificultades sentidas polas direccións para manter en pé esta obra de carácter social.
ABSTRACT: St John’s Asylum was founded by a group of Freemasons in Lisbon in 1862 for the care and education of vulnerable young women following their release from homes run by the Sisters of Charity. The aim of this study is to examine the context in which the asylum was established, the activities that took place there, and the day-to-day running of the institution as a whole, based on an analysis of the asylum’s reports and accounts. The creation of St John’s Asylum reflects the questioning at the time of the role of religious orders in the education of society’s most disadvantaged and the belief in material and social progress that permeated the philanthropic spirit of the age. The study highlights the attempt to provide young women with the skills they needed to integrate into society, and the problems faced by the asylum’s directors to keep the institution running.
