  Post-soviet diaspora(s) in Western Europe (1991-2017)

  Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, millions of former soviet citizens crossed the national borders in search of better lives in new countries, in what was the biggest migration tide since the end of World War II. These Post-Soviet migrants were diverse in origins, strategies and expectations. They often represented a challenge to the orthodox views of migration processes, since in most cases these flows could not be easily described and analysed following commonly accepted theoretical frameworks. Everybody seemed to be on the move: labour migrants, political refugees, cross-border traders, “tourists” planning to forget their return... and in a short period, they spread all over Western Europe.

  Manuscritos judaicos medievais na Península Ibérica

  Nas últimas décadas, devido ao incentivo de várias instituições como por exemplo a Rothschild Foundation, tem-se assistido a um acréscimo do interesse pelo tema dos manuscritos judaicos medievais, inclusivamente na Península Ibérica, com assinaláveis resultados ao nível da investigação arquivística e da apresentação dos respectivos resultados. O objectivo fundamental deste encontro é dar a conhecer esta diversidade apurada na investigação dos manuscritos medievais judaicos, e partilhar conhecimentos, conclusões, metodologias de análise e perspectivas de trabalhos futuros.

  Intangibility Matters

  International Conference on the values of tangible heritage

  Tangible heritage is the support of some of the most relevant and perennial values of Mankind. It connects us with History, projects us to past environments and to lost cultural contexts, includes landmarks of our identity and constitutes a relevant economic asset. Therefore tangible heritage has intangible aspects inextricably associated to it and when tangible heritage is addressed, intangibility matters. Conservation of tangible heritage is a cultural act with the value approach as a leading concept. The protection statutes, the arguments used to sustain the protection policies, the management options and definition of priorities, the allocation of resources and the uses of heritage assets are intimately connected and dependent on values, bringing to focus the intangible side of their nature.
