  Call for papers - Ethnology, anthropology

  Futuros Disputados (2016)

  VI congresso da Associação Portuguesa de Antropologia (APA) – Chamada para comunicações

  The upcoming conference of the Portuguese Anthropological Association continues the debate about the worlds we inhabit, create and differentiate. Knowledge about its pluralities has guided the discipline for over one hundred years, in ever new and unexpected scenarios. Anthropology faces new challenges in the contemporary context of an anthropocene (or in its most radical version, capitolocene) and its uncertain responsibilities on the collective fate of humans and nonhumans. While governments and political actors favor macroscopic knowledge supported on statistics and normative analytical frameworks, we respond with what we learn in ethnography and anthropology: a knowledge closer to the lived experience and one that pays attention to the voices, bodies, desires, subjectivities, communities, identities, anxieties about the past, present and near future, unsatisfied by large-scope ideological narratives.

  VI congresso da Associação Portuguesa de Antropologia (APA) – Chamada para painéis

  O próximo congresso da Associação Portuguesa de Antropologia continua o debate sobre os mundos que habitamos, criamos e diferenciamos. O conhecimento das suas pluralidades guia a disciplina há mais de cem anos, em cenários sempre renovados e imprevistos, persiste e levanta novos desafios no quadro contemporâneo de um antropoceno (ou na sua versão mais radical, capitoloceno) indefinido em termos de responsabilidades decisivas sobre o devir colectivo de humanos e não humanos. Enquanto os poderes políticos públicos privilegiam escalas de conhecimento macrossociais reveladas por estatísticas e quadros analíticos normativistas e normalizadores, propomos contrapor e acrescentar o conhecimento que aprendemos com a etnografia e a antropologia, mais próximo da escala da experiência vivida, dando atenção às vozes, corpos, desejos, subjectividades, comunidades, identidades, na ansiedade dos passados, presentes e futuros próximos, perante a incompletude das grandes narrativas ideológicas.

  Tropical Medicine and Global Health in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries

  Second Luso-Brazilian Meeting on the History of Tropical Medicine

  The Luso-Brazilian Meetings on the History of Tropical Medicine have always sought to strike a balance between historiographical reflections, which help develop a broader comparative analysis, and case-studies examining different national, colonial, post-colonial, international and global contexts. We will continue to favor both approaches at the 1st meeting. The bulk of historiographical research has explored the period in the post-World War II. This meeting will work with a broader focus by examining the roles played by countries like Portugal, Brazil and Spain, and their connections with imperial and post-colonial research and practice.

  Corporate spaces and urban scales in the XXth century

  Primary agencies, administrative structures and state order

  Focusing on the issue of inter-territorial coordination in corporate experiences that involved States throughout the 20^th century, the Congress CORPORATE SPACES AND URBAN SCALES aims at a historical reassessment of corporate primary agencies. In general terms, the target will be the basic organisms that framed the economic activities and the "social cooperation" of the majority of the population. In the Portuguese case, for example, such basic structures comprised the following organizations: ‘houses of the people’ (Casas do Povo), ‘houses of the fishermen’ (Casas dos Pescadores), farmers guilds (Grémios da Lavoura), commercial guilds (Grémios do Comércio), industrial guilds (Grémios da Indústria) and unions (Sindicatos). The goal of this Congress is the cross analysis of this reality in the urban-rural context and in a comparative perspective.

  Museus, discurso e poder

  Ao longo da sua história, o museu, ao selecionar, acolher, classificar, catalogar e expor objetos, estabeleceu discursos acerca do significado cultural das suas coleções que foram e são determinantes para a formação das memórias coletivas e para os modos como as sociedades lidam com o passado no presente. Esses discursos contribuíram e contribuem ativamente para a formação de valores sociais, morais, políticos e ideológicos. Ao fazê-lo, os museus tanto foram e são instituições de poder como instrumentos do poder. Com o tema Museus, discurso e poder pretende-se reunir e publicar um conjunto de artigos acerca da relação dos museus com o poder e da relevância dessa relação no passado e para as sociedades contemporâneas.
