Dossier temático nr. 16: Cadernos do arquivo municipal

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.

Using the Past: The Middle Ages in the Spotlight
The conference aims at bringing together scholars from all around the world concerned with the uses of the medieval past. Participants will address when, where, how, why and by whom the medieval past has been used, with papers embracing a broad chronological timeline that begins in the medieval period itself and extends to include contemporary politics, society and mass media. Thus, this conference seeks to provide a forum for scholars who are willing to examine and to advance knowledge on the use of the medieval past, contributing to a better assessment of contemporary realities, problems and challenges.

Work, heritage and development
5th congress of the International Ergology Society
La démarche de l’ergologie offre-t-elle une approche pertinente dans le champ des questions intégrant le travail, le patrimoine et le développement ? Dans quelle mesure sa contribution est-elle singulière et innovante ? Afin d’établir un bilan et de tracer des perspectives, le principal objectif du cinquième congrès de la Société internationale d’ergologie (SIE) est de mettre en débats, au cours de trois journées, les travaux qui, en plusieurs lieux du monde, ont fait l’option de s’engager dans cette réflexion, tout en ayant parfois privilégié auparavant d’autres cadres de référence. La diversité des approches constituera un atout essentiel de cette rencontre qui se veut donc pluridisciplinaire.

Post-soviet diaspora(s) in Western Europe (1991-2017)
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, millions of former soviet citizens crossed the national borders in search of better lives in new countries, in what was the biggest migration tide since the end of World War II. These Post-Soviet migrants were diverse in origins, strategies and expectations. They often represented a challenge to the orthodox views of migration processes, since in most cases these flows could not be easily described and analysed following commonly accepted theoretical frameworks. Everybody seemed to be on the move: labour migrants, political refugees, cross-border traders, “tourists” planning to forget their return... and in a short period, they spread all over Western Europe.

Aviation - the impact on time and space
L’impact de l’aviation, tant sur le temps que sur l’espace, aux XXe et XXIe siècles, a été remarquable. Depuis les aventures des pionniers, en passant par les premières compagnies aériennes, jusqu’à l’âge du jet et, de nos jours, les opérateurs à bas prix, l’aviation a profondément changé les notions de temps et d’espace. Ce colloque international vise à réfléchir au rôle de l’aviation dans la mutation subie par ces notions, aussi bien qu’aux effets de ce phénomène sur le commerce, la sécurité, la culture et les territoires.

War hecatomb: effects on health, demography and modern thought (XIXth-XXIst centuries)
Without an exclusive focus on the two world wars and considering that other major conflicts had direct effects in demography, health and in the modern thought, this conference aims to open the historiographic debate in this almost yet unexplored topic, underlining the situation of countries that did not always played a main role in the military conflicts.

Mediterranean Cultures and Societies
Knowledge, Health and Tourism
The Mediterranean is a complex combination of ideas, feelings, imageries, cultures, ways of life, cultivated for centuries and still cultivated in this “sea (not ocean) amongst lands”; which was called mare nostrum by Romans and which could still be called in such a way if we understand nostrum in a different way: as a reference to us, human beings. The aim of this conference is to increase awareness about the Mediterranean as a departure and arrival point for the construction of a pluralistic society.

An alternative Francophone world - Francophone culture and its global reach
Culture francophone à portée globale
Alors qu’il est souvent question dans l’essayisme (Baverez, Compagnon, Jourde, …) – tant français qu’étranger –, d’un déclin accentué de la culture française, ce qui ne veut sûrement pas dire de la culture en français, plusieurs produits, phénomènes et manifestations culturels et symboliques francophones rendent compte d’une surprenante vitalité et créativité, souvent reconnue et relayée sur le plan de la culture globale, qui prélude à un dépassement de la portée exclusivement « hexagonale » du fait culturel en français.
