  The Hydraulics in Monumental Buildings

  The hydraulic system is an architectural subsystem that can only be understood in view of the dual constitution of its structure: one at ground level, that referrers to potable water (lower hydraulic subsystem), and other concerning rainwater (upper hydraulic subsystem). They both involve aspects of major importance for the functioning of any building: catchment, distribution and evacuation of the waters. In the last decade, research was carried out on the hydraulic component of historical architecture, either religious or civil, considering technical and artistic issues, not only in Portugal, but throughout Europe.

  African Ivories

  In the Atlantic World, 1400-1900

  Since April 2015, the international team working on the project “African Ivories in the Atlantic World: a reassessment of Luso-African ivories” (Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia: PTDC/EPH-PAT/1810/2014), composed of 27 researchers from the University of Lisbon, the University of Évora and the Federal University of Minas Gerais in Brazil, has been researching the trade, circulation and production of raw and carved African ivory in the Atlantic area from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century. The team has identified and listed objects from Portuguese and Brazilian (Minas Gerais) collections, also collecting references and descriptions extant in written Portuguese sources. For the first time a selection of ivory pieces was subjected to lab tests with a view to helping establish their age and origin. The project research team has submitted proposals for re-interpreting material culture in the framework of its African contexts of production.

  Insularities and enclaves in colonial and post-colonial circumstances

  Crossings, conflicts and identitarian constructions (15th - 21st centuries)

  Historically, archipelagos were considered as rehearsal spaces for new social constructions. Since colonization and, afterwards, colonialism and imperialism, many of them evolved in association with the strengthening of international networks, while others did not escape isolation and forced unequal integration in different spaces. On the other hand, enclaves were the outcome of historical circumstances, often externally decided, which prompted some degree of insularity regarding the immediate geographical surroundings. When those territories did not become independent, there were demands for autonomy or, at least, some underlying emancipatory and anti-colonialist feelings. Even when these feelings did not mobilize relevant segments of the population, they disclose the alterity – above all cultural – in regard to sovereignty.

  Mercaderes, juristas y otros "grupos intermedios" en el sur de Europa y en el espacio atlántico, siglos XVI-XVIII

  Mercaderes, arrendatarios, juristas, escribanos de grandes instituciones, secretarios, labradores ricos, élites locales, maestros gremiales enriquecidos, etc. son individuos con un estatus social ambiguo. Uno de los objetivos de este coloquio es reflexionar sobre esas personas que no nacieron nobles, en sentido estricto, pero que tampoco eran exactamente plebeyos o que se encontraban en la frontera entre uno y otro grupo. En el ámbito de un proyecto desarrollado en Portugal, centrado en los familiares del Santo Oficio, se va a realizar un seminario en la Escuela Española de Historia y Arqueología en Roma (EEHAR-CSIC) durante los días 16 y 17 se septiembre de 2015. Se seleccionarán un total de 8 comunicaciones a las que se unirán 4 ponencias invitadas, con el objetivo de reflexionar, en común, sobre las características de los “grupos intermedios” en la Edad Moderna, así como sobre las cuestiones metodológicas de su estudio.

  Intermediate Groups in the Portuguese Dominions, 16th-18th century

  Revista de História (Universidade de São Paulo)

  The Revista de História of the University of São Paulo (Brazil) invites interested scholars to submit proposals for articles to be published as part of a ‘dossier’ concerning intermediate groups in the Portuguese dominions on the Early Modern Age. Throughout that period, ‘middle people’ strove to assert themselves in rural areas and helped to shape old and new urban centers in the Portuguese World, corresponding to an increased demand for specialized services and ensuring the necessary extensions of royal representation functions and Church activities. Even though almost non-existent in juridical or normative terms, those groups were recognized both by nationals and foreigners as a complex and vibrant intermediate social layer. Time has come to try and distinguish its specificities, trends of formation and effective roles in social dynamics.
