Amílcar Cabral: The “Anonymous Fighter” for the Mankind Fundamental Freedoms
In 1971, Amílcar Cabral presented himself in the United Nations (UN) as an “anonymous fighter” engaged in the struggle for the fundamental freedoms of the populations of Guinea and Cape Verde, as well as of all mankind. Such affirmation was not casual, since Cabral adopted the status of “anonymous fighter” in other circumstances, arguing that he was struggling for the human dignity, progress and happiness. The main goal of the conference is to bring together academics studying Cabral trajectory, institutions involved in preserving his memory and personalities which became acquainted with him.

Slave subjectivities in the Iberian Worlds (15th- 20th centuries)
Les récits de vies d'esclaves semblent beaucoup moins courants dans les mondes ibériques que, par exemple, anglo-américains. Ils sont pourtant une source de première importance pour comprendre les subjectivités des esclaves eux-mêmes. D'autres sources (archives de l'Inquisition, actes notariés, actes de manumission, etc.) peuvent parfois permettre de traquer cette voix des sans-voix. Ce colloque, organisé en commun par l'Instituto de ciências sociais (Lisbonne) et la Casa de Velázquez / École des hautes études hispaniques et ibériques (Madrid), voudrait permettre d'avancer dans l'étude de la vision des asservis, dans le cadre ibérique.

Derrida - the gift of "différance"
C’est bien le cinquantenaire de cette date – 1967 – et de l’idiome de cette pensée liée au nom, à la pensée et à l’œuvre de Jacques Derrida, qu’elle date et dont elle est porteuse, que nous souhaitons très vivement saluer et remarquer avec ce colloque international tout en remarquant et la justice qui l’aimante et la riche multiplicité de ses portées et de ses enjeux – de la philosophie à la littérature, à la psychanalyse, au politique, au juridique, aux arts, aux sciences et à la théologie – en pariant de lui donner une juste survivance.

Gomes Freire de Andrade: the man and his time
In 2017 we celebrate the bicentennial of three remarkable moments in the history of Portugal, Spain, Brazil and the Ibero-American world, the so-called “Revolution of 1817”, in Pernambuco; the “conspiracy” of General Gomes Freire de Andrade against the British tutelage, in Portugal; and the failed liberal pronouncement of General Luis Lacy y Gauthier, in Catalonia, in favor of the Constitution of 1812. In view of the historical and historiographic importance of these events, the Centre for History of the University of Lisbon (CH-ULisboa), in collaboration with the Directorate of History and Military Culture, is organizing an international conference that aims to contribute to debate the crisis of the Iberian empires in the early nineteenth century and the emergence of liberalism and the politicization of Ibero-American societies.

Immigration, refugees and the Humanities
Critical engagements with new challenges/opportunities
Immigration can be echoed in other terms such as refugees, migration, citizenship, inclusion, innovation, inequality, exclusion, social capital emigration, assimilation, local, global...etc. Diacrítica 31.3 is interested in writings that engage in a productive dialogue about the broad concept of immigration. The submission can address immigration from cultural, artistic and linguist perspectives with reference to the discourses that contribute to the construction of our knowledge about immigration as well as to the individual / collective experience and memory in this context. Different perceptions and imaginaries as marked by gender, age, social class, religion and ethnicity are particularly relevant.

Perception, reaction and record of natural phenomena before the Enlightenment
Issue no. 18 of the Journal of the History of Society and Culture will include a Special Section comprising papers dedicated to studying the perception, interpretation and record of natural phenomena in the periods preceding the consolidation of the modern scientific thinking. The goal is to explore how certain climatic, astronomical, seismological and vulcanological phenomena, among others, were experienced, explained and assessed prior to the development of technologies capable of predicting, monitoring and deciphering them. Attention must be given to the documents, accounts, representations (pictorial, sculptural, etc.) and remains (archaeological, architectural, urban, etc.) that inform us of eclipses and comets, storms and shipwrecks, volcanic eruptions, river floodings, gales, droughts and other phenomena which, directly or indirectly, left a mark on the populations and are part of their collective memory.

Going back to work after an accident at work
Laboreal journal
Reprendre un emploi après un accident du travail constitue un objet de recherche et d'intervention dont les analyses méritent une diffusion plus large. C'est la finalité de ce dossier préparé pour la revue Laboreal (laboreal.up.pt) par une équipe de chercheurs, psychologues et sociologues du travail portugais. Ce dossier doit en outre permettre d'identifier de nouvelles formes d'intervention dans et en dehors des entreprises, à différents niveaux, et en prenant en compte les questions touchant à l'amélioration des conditions de travail ainsi qu'à toutes les formes de soutien (individuel, collectif et institutionnel) qui permettraient à la victime d'un accident du travail de retrouver une vie active décente.

Summer School - Epistemology and methodology
Literary theory today - methods and issues
Méthodes et enjeux
L'université d’été a pour but d’offrir, aux participants, par le biais de conférences, d’ateliers, de workshops, de séminaires, d’exercices pratiques, de « performances », un vaste panorama de ce qui fait courir, et agir, nos théoriciens et nos méthodologues d’aujourd’hui. Quelles pratiques se profilent ? Comment choisir ses outils et selon quels critères ? Il s’agit d’aider les uns et les autres à mieux trouver leur chemin dans le fascinant paysage de la recherche littéraire dans tous ses aspects. La théorie, donc, servira ici à enrichir, et à perfectionner la pratique.

(Humanites)^n : the potential of the humanities in the digital era
Le statut des humanités dans le contexte contemporain, dévalorisées par rapport aux sciences dites « dures », exactes ou appliquées, continue d’engager un débat profond multi- et transdisciplinaire sur leur importance en tant que savoirs et garde-fou contre une déshumanisation de la culture, et particulièrement de la culture scientifique, plus précisément au moment où la critique amorce un tournant éthique et manifeste un souci axiologique.

Meanings, Archetypes, Forms and Uses
The omnipresence of the ornament as a cultural expression is transversal to all civilizations, and to all periods in history. A combination of pleasure and power, prestige and hierarchy, the ornament defines socio-cultural patterns and allows interpretations and specific views to be formed of each society and period. In this conference we intend to debate not only case studies, but theoretical and critical approaches regarding the place and permanence of the ornament, its multiple manifestations and moments of valorization in certain contexts and geographies.

Prophétisée par Nostradamus, la « Belle Époque », riche et contradictoire, surgit comme une période mythique de progressif agrandissement territorial (colonialisme), d’industrialisation croissante, d’accélération économique, de foisonnement d’idées innovatrices et audacieuses, de développement scientifique et technologique et d’effervescence artistique.

Literary spaces and critical territories
Towards an Approach to Literary Space: Geopoetics and Geocriticism Crossing the Frontiers of Knowledge
The theoretical reorientation of literary studies towards their renewed convergence with the “real”, later identified by some as the “spatial turn” (Soja, 1989), started to develop in the literary-theoretical landscape in the middle of the twentieth century, at the moment when key theoreticians in the field of structuralism paid significant attention to the relationship between “literature and reality”, with the aim of insistently denouncing any “referential illusion” (Barthes et al., 1982) and of committing the space of literature to intratextual specularity (Dällenbach, 1977).

Aviation - the impact on time and space
L’impact de l’aviation, tant sur le temps que sur l’espace, aux XXe et XXIe siècles, a été remarquable. Depuis les aventures des pionniers, en passant par les premières compagnies aériennes, jusqu’à l’âge du jet et, de nos jours, les opérateurs à bas prix, l’aviation a profondément changé les notions de temps et d’espace. Ce colloque international vise à réfléchir au rôle de l’aviation dans la mutation subie par ces notions, aussi bien qu’aux effets de ce phénomène sur le commerce, la sécurité, la culture et les territoires.
