Vila do Porto
Initially supported by the popular masses, the Portuguese First Republic was marked by social, political and economic instability, and a weak participation in World War I. The period from 1910 to 1926 was characterized by a partisan struggle for power, political and social agitation. Improvements since 1923 were not enough to counteract the growing discontent stimulated by intellectuals; a persecuted Church; an army and civil service without resources and an economically oppressed industry. The coup of May 28, 1926, put an end to this democratic regime starting a new cycle that, despite maintaining the previous political instability, prepared the Estado Novo, under the control of Antonio de Oliveira Salazar, interrupted in April 25, 1974.

State-building, social movements and political economy
Modernity was marked by the edification of increasingly complex and sophisticated state system, committed to governing territories and populations, through a multiplicity of administrative, fiscal, police and judicial networks. At the same time, new mechanisms for legitimizing political power emerged, based on the building of a public sphere and the dissemination of different forms of collective organization and mobilization: from associations to petitions, from political demonstrations to strikes and riots. Finally, a new regime of production and consumption was created in the form of a Political Economy directed to the creation of markets, the movement of goods and the accumulation of capital.

Victor Segalen, exoticism in question
Yesterday and today, distance and proximity, similitude and otherness
À la faveur des commémorations du centenaire de la mort du romancier et poète français Victor Segalen, et alors que l’émergence, tant théorique que critique, d’une « fiction-monde » s’impose dans les études littéraires - laquelle met le comparatisme à l’épreuve et complexifie les prémisses des études postcoloniales -, et que la perspective classique dégagée par Edward W. Saïd sur le constructum de l’Orient par l’Occident ne rend plus compte, à elle seule, de l’étendue des questions soulevées par la globalisation des faits, des enjeux et des fictions, il nous semble pertinent de nous pencher, avec un recul théorique et dans un empan qui inclut les XIX, XX et XXIèmes siècles en langue française, sur la notion changeante et transversale d’« exotisme ».

Iberian radical left, revolutionary process and democratic transition – rupture and consensus
Comparative perspectives
An ideological prejudice and a kind of tacit normativity have historically devalued the role played by radical leftists in the transition processes. This colloquium intends to be a contribution to the restoration of this balance.

Globalisation, science, réseaux et patrimoine

Changes and continuities in contemporary Public Administration

In this way, the meeting seeks to constitute a moment of reflection on these issues, considering its multiple dynamics at national and international level, in a multidisciplinary perspective.

Amílcar Cabral: The “Anonymous Fighter” for the Mankind Fundamental Freedoms
In 1971, Amílcar Cabral presented himself in the United Nations (UN) as an “anonymous fighter” engaged in the struggle for the fundamental freedoms of the populations of Guinea and Cape Verde, as well as of all mankind. Such affirmation was not casual, since Cabral adopted the status of “anonymous fighter” in other circumstances, arguing that he was struggling for the human dignity, progress and happiness. The main goal of the conference is to bring together academics studying Cabral trajectory, institutions involved in preserving his memory and personalities which became acquainted with him.

Europe and the Cold War – Changes and Disruptions
5th Annual Meeting “Europe and the World”
Au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l’Europe est en pleine décadence. Au cours de cette période difficile, la confrontation entre les deux Europes ne cesse de s’accroître. Face à l’expansionnisme soviétique, les pays d’Europe occidentale se tournent vers les États-Unis qui leurs octroient de l’aide économique et de la protection militaire. La reconstruction de l’Europe fait alors l’objet de débats houleux. Sous la pression des mouvements européanistes, les débats prennent de l’élan surtout à partir de 1948 dans le but de rebâtir l’Europe et la paix en Europe. L’atmosphère de « Guerre froide » est très présente depuis 1946.

Coimbra
One of the 20th century's main features was the large movements of people abandoning their places of origin for economic, political and social reasons. Migration-fostering conditions, like the search for sufficient means of subsistence, escaping from armed conflict and political and religious persecution, are intensified by economic crises and the advent of authoritarian Governments. In the host countries, emigrants, exiles and refugees form associations, publish periodicals, hold commemorations and foster socialisation tools, which make them a group with a national identity and/or a specific political positioning. Concomitantly, they undergo acculturation, as a result of their inevitable adjustment to the new reality, translated into the activities they perform and the structure of the relations they keep with the host country.

The (de)construction of Europe (1939-1945)
3rd annual encounter of Europe and the world
Suite aux rencontres organisées en 2012 et en 2013, respectivement intitulées Pour la Paix (1849-1939) et L’Europe de l’entre-deux-guerres (1919-1939), la IIIe Rencontre annuelle l’Europe et le Monde propose à la réflexion et à la discussion les idées, les propositions et les initiatives qui, dans le contexte de la seconde guerre mondiale, ont eu l’Europe pour objet. Les années de guerre ont vu, en particulier dans les mouvements de résistance, se former des conceptions nouvelles de l’union politique et économique de l’Europe. Entraînée dans un processus d’autodestruction, l’Europe a été durant le même temps repensée dans des architectures diverses où les esprits ont cherché à configurer leurs idéaux de coopération européenne.

Portugal, 40 years of Democracy
No momento em que se cumprem 40 anos da revolução democrática do 25 de abril de 1974, o país que ela ajudou a transformar vive uma das mais graves crises dos últimos 160 anos. Em 40 anos de democracia, Portugal viveu de forma intensa as grandes transformações da contemporaneidade que mudaram profundamente relações sociais, identidades coletivas, sistema político, que produziram avanços e recuos muito acentuados na transformação da natureza das relações económicas. Poucas sociedades europeias sofreram mudanças tão acentuadas no espaço de uma geração: a emancipação de uma das mais longas ditaduras da história europeia, o fim de uma guerra longa de 13 anos, ou a explosão criativa de democracia vivida há 40 anos abriram o caminho para a mudança socioeconómica e a maturidade política e cultural que, contudo, desde há alguns anos entraram num ciclo depressivo.

Portugal, opposition and exiles
Land of exile and exiles
Centré sur la question de l'exil, ce colloque veut reconstruire la maille structurelle tissée par les exilés portugais dans les différents pays d'accueil. Il s'agit d'identifier les réseaux, de répérer des solidarités, de mettre en lumière les relations entre les noyaux, d'analyser leur pensée et les discours politiques, etc. Le cadre géographique est le Portugal, dans sa double altérité : terre d'exilés transformée après 1974 en pays d'accueil. La dimension comparatiste est introduite dans ce colloque par l'ouverture à d'autres exils.

The French-speaking world: celebrations, events and effects
Question time
La francophonie n’est certes pas un fait culturel ou politique nouveau. Toutefois – indéchiffrable ou irréductible aux effets de correspondance linguistique au territoire ; qui plus est chargée d’une aura littéraire bien au-delà des francophonies originelles ou postcoloniales –, elle se revêt d’une ambiguïté définitoire, - souvent déclinée au pluriel -, et d’un statut géopolitique en éternel chantier. Quoi qu’il en soit, une chose est sûre : la francophonie se définit surtout par des interrogations ou des négations, tant par rapport au centre hexagonal que vis-à-vis d’une uniformisation linguistique et culturelle hégémonique.
