Port Cities: Comparative Perspectives on Urban Stability and Public Safety

18th-21st centuries

The coming of globalization was centrally anchored in the increased mobility of goods, people and ideas. Port cities were thus transformed in crucial hubs in this mobility age. Because of the heterogeneous social and cultural landscape associated with commerce and transport, port cities became increasingly known as insecure places. Hence the perceptions resulting from and the strategies adopted to deal with the insecurity and the search for a new sense of urban stability were especially acute in port cities.

City Lights (XVIIth-XXIst centuries). Persistence and change in urban lighting technologies and night-time practices

EAUH 2014, Session 12

The session "City Lights" is organized within the framework of the 12^th international conference of the EAUH (European Association for Urban History) which will take place in Lisbon from the 3^rd to the 6^th September 2014. It is part of the studies on night, a dimension which has been long neglected in urban history. The session proposes to study in a comparative and multidisciplinary perspective (in history, geography, planning, sociology and environmental studies) the evolution of night-time and street-lighting practices in the world from the XVII^th century up to the present: from the increasing demand in public lighting in european capitals to the protection of the night sky and energy savings.

Monarquias ibéricas em perspectiva comparada

As monarquias imperiais ibéricas da época moderna têm sido objeto de um crescente interesse historiográfico. São inúmeros os estudos que assinalam a inserção global das redes dos dois impérios: as redes comerciais têm sido estudadas com bastante detalhe, e em articulação com estas, o tráfico de escravos, e, mais recentemente, as experiências sociais e culturais em contexto imperial têm adquirido saliência. Todavia, continuam a escassear os estudos que pensem ambas experiências comparativamente. Até que ponto é que as experiências imperiais ibéricas entre os séculos XVI e XVIII herdaram modelos político-administrativos que caracterizavam o mundo ibérico antes da expansão ultramarina? Em que medida é que estes modelos, ao serem transferidos e adaptados a diferentes contextos políticos, sociais e culturais, potenciaram novas soluções político-administrativas, algumas das quais, eventualmente, tiveram reverberações na cultura político-administrativa das metrópoles? Como é que as redes político-administrativas e respetivos agentes de poder se estruturaram e se reproduziram, o modo como estas articularam centros políticos e territórios imperiais, aproximando ou diferenciando uns e outros, constituindo, simultaneamente, as continuidades e singularidades entre metrópoles e territórios imperiais?

A arte de governar

Novas perspectivas sobre o poder no Portugal contemporâneo

As figuras do poder tenderam a ser identificadas por historiadores com os poucos homens e menos mulheres que ao longo dos tempos protagonizaram o governo dos Estados. As biografias de grandes dirigentes e as prosopografias das elites políticas têm-se multiplicado nas bibliotecas académicas e nos escaparates das livrarias. Contra esta história dos grandes líderes, fizeram-se ouvir, todavia, críticas historiográficas que têm contribuído para uma possível redefinição do entendimento e estudo das relações de poder ao longo da história.

Performing Documentation in the Conservation of Contemporary Art

Contemporary art conservation requires a re-assessment of the distinction between the work and its re-configuration in documentation. Although documentation is crucial for the survival of many contemporary works of art, it is never neutral: all approaches, formats, media and systems have their own inherent affordances and blind spots and always transform what they document. Furthermore, in process-centered, technology-based or performative artworks in particular, we often can no longer make a sharp distinction between an original work and its subsequent documentation or replication: documentation is part of the work's very core.

Academy as Community: English and American Studies in Portugal and Europe

34th APEAA Meeting

The tradition of English and American studies in Portugal has long been supported by the dynamics of academic associativism, in which APEAA’s peer network stands out, involving national and international institutions, and establishing continued interactions with research centres. At a time when political and cultural paradigms are on the verge of crisis and/or change, it is of the utmost importance to revisit the theoretical and pragmatic frameworks that sustain (and constrain) our research practices. Thus, this conference aims to provide a forum to discuss how Anglo-American scholarship, with its vocation for plurality and innovative interdisciplinary proposals, may progress. We also want to build strategies of cohesion among our peers in order to better disseminate our contribution to the interpretation and the fruition of meaning(s), valuing a plurality of cultural and aesthetic manifestations.

The problem of ethnographic and anthropological methodology

Antropológicas Journal

The journal Antropológicas is accepting proposals for publication in its next issue that will address the problem of ethnographic and anthropological methodology. Manuscripts should be submitted to the page http://revistas.rcaap.pt/antropologicas/login by the 28th of February of 2013. Antropológicas’ number 13th will address the problem of ethnographic and anthropological methodology, because since the academic statement of its field of knowledge, ethnographic practice and anthropological writing had many debates, both for the originality of the methodology and the scientific accuracy required by their professionals. Among social sciences, anthropology was the one where theoretical discussion about its rationale demanded a greater critical capacity, by placing into question its methodological grounds.

Women and sport in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries

Women's access to sports and physical education is a story made by advances and retreats, punctuated by discrimination, mentalities’ shifts and social achievements. In fact, by the end of 1800, women's participation in sporting events was only looked upon as entertainment, giving particular attention to body and facial postures, and to feminine beauty, setting physical strength, agility and skill of the athletes as second level of importance. The Summer Olympics are a clear illustration of this historical path. The "Women and Sport in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries" conference, organized by the Institute of Contemporary History (Faculty of Social and Human Sciences - Nova University of Lisbon), seeks to analyze, in a critical and integrated way, the history of this journey, watching its multiple dimensions and approaches: social, economic, political, cultural, legal, ethical, organizational, media, medical and gender. This meeting aims to provide a space of discussion, seeking to stimulate and further develop studies in the History of Sports, particularly in the field of History of Women’s Sports.

Resisting War in the 20th Century

This congress intends to promote debate about the multiple kinds of resistance to war as well as explore the different academic approaches taken to studying it, especially but not exclusively in history, anthropology, sociology and political science as well as literary, cultural, artistic, subaltern and gender studies. We call for empirical, theoretical or methodological papers that discuss the issue of resistance to war in the twentieth century in its multiple performances and visions, in different observation scales. We hope to see studies highlighting different actors, institutions, practices and speeches and also hegemonic or counter-hegemonic collective representations.
