The materials of historical interest that build up the urban heritage: correlations, uses, landscapes

Dossier temático nr. 16: Cadernos do arquivo municipal

To this Thematic Dossier, we suggest to focus on these materials, having in mind the relation between built heritage, knowledge and society. It is proposed a multidisciplinary, wide and diversified approach of the various aspects that influence the patrimonial existence of cities. It aims to explore diversified aspects of mediation between these materials and cultural heritage. Thus, all are invited to present creative and original studies and reflections.

Urbi and orbi. Reading cities, living literature

Notre rencontre a pour objet la réflexion sur les villes européennes et autres, ces loci memoriae que tant d‘écrivains ont bâtis dans leurs livres (où nous nous promenons avec plaisir ou inquiétude, dans les pas de Baudelaire, de Joyce, de Modiano, de Michel Butor, de Nicolas Bouvier, de Sebald, de Lilar, de Syvie Germain, de Pessoa, de Lobo Antunes, et de combien d’autres), en quête maintenant de nouveaux territoires de lisibilité, où les espaces de mémoire coexistent avec ceux de l’innovation. On peut parler de la ville « en termes de signification »; le numérique, à présent, trace de nouvelles cartographies littéraires urbaines européennes qu’il s’impose de creuser. Cette rencontre, nous l’espérons, nous permettra de mieux mettre en évidence les différentes contributions à l’œuvre, en ce moment, pour l’édification d’une nouvelle histoire littéraire, européenne, et dont la forme et la figure de la « ville univers » serait une des clefs de voûte.

Portugal, territory of territories

IX Portuguese Congress of Sociology

Hoje, mais do que nunca, importa estudar as variáveis territoriais das formações sociais, uma vez que o espaço atua cada vez mais, a várias escalas, como força de integração, mas também de exclusão, segregação e relegação, contribuindo ativamente para a criação e recomposição de injustiças, de diferenças e de desigualdades. O território não é um mero cenário onde se projetam os atores sociais. Dotado de especificidades, resiste ou favorece as dinâmicas sociais, pela mediação das práticas, pela sua historicidade, pela sua configuração própria, influenciando quer a distribuição dos grupos sociais no espaço, quer as tipologias das formas de habitação, quer mesmo o planeamento e o urbanismo.

Knowledge for Open and Inclusive Societies

Inter-university Programme en Sociology

The vision of the PhD programme is framed in its title: “Sociology: knowledge for open and inclusive societies” (OpenSoc). We depart from a main strategic assumption: the relevance of the knowledge produced by social sciences (particularly sociology) for understanding and intervening in contemporary reflexive societies. Understanding implies the critique of common sense and taken for granted “prenotions”, as well as the construction of adequate theory and concepts that foster a coherent framework to interpret reality, which is then methodologically put to proof and validated in empirical settings. Fundamental knowledge is to be nurtured by itself; but it also enhances the capacity of translating theory into informed and targetted social action and intervention. Societies need sociology. And sociology feeds society.

Port Cities: Comparative Perspectives on Urban Stability and Public Safety

18th-21st centuries

The coming of globalization was centrally anchored in the increased mobility of goods, people and ideas. Port cities were thus transformed in crucial hubs in this mobility age. Because of the heterogeneous social and cultural landscape associated with commerce and transport, port cities became increasingly known as insecure places. Hence the perceptions resulting from and the strategies adopted to deal with the insecurity and the search for a new sense of urban stability were especially acute in port cities.

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.

Sociologia

The main intention of the journal Sociologia is addressing the social issues of broad scope and according to various theoretical perspectives in order to promote the cultivation of Sociology in Portugal, either as systematic knowledge of social realities and as social and professional practice. Has sought to establish a dialogue between those who, within the University, promote scientific work and those who, like other professionals in sociology, deal with diverse activities in the global society, without forgetting those who labor in the other frames and that require a systematized knowledge of Portuguese social reality.
