  40 years of democracy (ies): progresses, contradictions and prospects

  VIII Portuguese Sociological Congress

  Portuguese singularity presents today new communication bridges in comparison to other territorial realities, offering itself as a rare laboratory of sociological analysis. Regression phenomenon’s (both structural and dispositional) of articulation of social change’s asynchronous rhythms, of risk proliferation and uncertainty, conflictive conciliation of multiple modernities, within an unfinished one, challenge us to look sociologically at these last 40 years and also to think prospectively on tendencies and future challenges.

  Sensing the city: explorations in sensory ethnography

  The conference aims to explore the relation between urban places and sensory experiences, drawing attention to the many dimensions of life in the city, mainly those that are rendered by the sense. We are guided by two main questions: What’s the role of the senses in framing, attributing meaning and changing collective and subjective experiences of city dwellers? And what is the relevant impact of sensory registration and analysis on the way of doing ethnography? Our objective is to gather researchers working on urban settings through ethnographic approaches. The senses will be considered both as an epistemological proposal – through which one sees the urban phenomena – and a methodological approach to the city.

  Interfaces da lusofonia

  A conferência Interfaces da Lusofonia, inserida no âmbito do projecto Narrativas Identitárias e Memória Social, foi planeada para balizar as noções de lusofonia que têm vindo a ser estudadas a partir de diversas perspectivas, as quais, muitas vezes, se auto-excluem. Tratando-se de um projecto interdisciplinar, interessa pensar a lusofonia a partir da intersecção de disciplinas e áreas de saberes, de forma a promover um debate informado sobre o tema.
