    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.

    Not Just Holidays in the Sun

    Keep It Simple, Make It Fast! (KISMIF) Summer School 2020

    The Keep It Simple, Make It Fast! (KISMIF) Conference 2020 will be preceded by a Summer School entitled ‘Not Just Holidays in the Sun’ on 7 July 2020 in Rivoli Municipal Theatre of Porto. The Summer School will offer an opportunity for all interested persons, including those participating in the Conference, to attend workshops directed by specialists in their fields. Our KISMIF Summer School program invites students who are interested in, or currently using, DIY cultures in their research to join us for an exciting and innovative one-day summer school program. The goal of the one-day program will be to encourage discussion and experimentation in the documentation of DIY cultures as much as it will be to encourage a new generation of DIY academics (Punk Ethnographers!) to experiment with digital cinema and performance in their research practices.

    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.

    Intangibility Matters

    International Conference on the values of tangible heritage

    Tangible heritage is the support of some of the most relevant and perennial values of Mankind. It connects us with History, projects us to past environments and to lost cultural contexts, includes landmarks of our identity and constitutes a relevant economic asset. Therefore tangible heritage has intangible aspects inextricably associated to it and when tangible heritage is addressed, intangibility matters. Conservation of tangible heritage is a cultural act with the value approach as a leading concept. The protection statutes, the arguments used to sustain the protection policies, the management options and definition of priorities, the allocation of resources and the uses of heritage assets are intimately connected and dependent on values, bringing to focus the intangible side of their nature.

    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.

    Metropolização, trajetórias residenciais e modos de vida: fendências nas metrópoles da Europa do Sul

    Em Portugal, o processo de urbanização, que tem início na década de 50, atinge o seu auge na década seguinte, entrando pelos “conturbados” anos 70. É a época dos HLM, das New Towns, dos “30 gloriosos” que viriam revolucionar a habitação das massas. Portugal também teve os seus grandes conjuntos de iniciativa pública, poucos. A maioria era privada. Era nas periferias ou nos limites periféricos da cidade que se construíam os “novos bairros”, de habitação coletiva ou de moradias, frequentemente clandestinas.

    Action publique et problèmes sociaux dans les villes intermédiaires

    A Ação Pública resulta da interseção e, cada vez mais, da interdependência entre as ações que decorrem das responsabilidades respetivas das Políticas Públicas, através dos diferentes elos que a concretizam e da Sociedade Civil, através das iniciativas que a consubstanciam, entre movimentos sociais e iniciativas locais e as organizações e dispositivos que lhes dão consistência. A Ação Pública manifesta-se na construção e gestão dos problemas públicos ou sociais. O próprio processo de construção e os modos de gestão dos problemas sociais são analisadores potentes das relações de poder que existem entre os atores e das dinâmicas sociais no interior dos coletivos analisados.
