  Summer School - Representation

  Islamic heritage in Europe

  Over the past decades, there has been a growing interest among scholars in analysing how the Islamic heritage in Europe has been perceived, described, preserved, erased, negotiated or transformed in different areas of Europe, from medieval to modern times. However, those debates seldom crossed the borders of regional approaches. The aim of this training school is to discuss those issues from different and complementary perspectives, including art history, but also philosophy, history of science or anthropology, and to question the traditional regional narrative through a comparative examination of Islamic monuments in a wider Mediterranean perspective.

  Academy as Community: English and American Studies in Portugal and Europe

  34th APEAA Meeting

  The tradition of English and American studies in Portugal has long been supported by the dynamics of academic associativism, in which APEAA’s peer network stands out, involving national and international institutions, and establishing continued interactions with research centres. At a time when political and cultural paradigms are on the verge of crisis and/or change, it is of the utmost importance to revisit the theoretical and pragmatic frameworks that sustain (and constrain) our research practices.  Thus, this conference aims to provide a forum to discuss how Anglo-American scholarship, with its vocation for plurality and innovative interdisciplinary proposals, may progress. We also want to build strategies of cohesion among our peers in order to better disseminate our contribution to the interpretation and the fruition of meaning(s), valuing a plurality of cultural and aesthetic manifestations.

  Représentations du peuple

  Representing the people

  Les participants seront amenés à s’interroger sur la notion de peuple. Comment le peuple se définit-il ? De façon autonome et/ou dans son rapport aux autres ? Pourquoi, comment et quand la notion de peuple émerge-t-elle dans l’histoire, la langue, la littérature et les arts ? Le peuple s’écrit-il lui-même ? Sinon, qui se charge de lui donner une voix ? Cette démarche est-elle légitime ou intéressée ? A qui ces représentations sont-elles destinées ? Quelles sont enfin les modalités de ces représentations ?
