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.

African dynamics in a multipolar world – ECAS 5 : Panel 048

Pluralismo jurídico: um debate a partir da Guiné-Bissau

Garantir o acesso à justiça e ao direito, em qualquer sociedade, significa que os seus membros conhecem os seus direitos, e que não se conformam quando se sentem lesados; significa igualmente que desfrutam dos requisitos para vencer os custos e as múltiplas barreiras para aceder ao direito e aos meios mais adequados e legitimados. Os debates em torno das possibilidades e dos processos de acesso ao direito e à justiça tem vindo a revelar a pluralidade de instâncias presentes, consideradas socialmente legítimas para a resolução dos seus litígios.Este seminário procura alargar o debate em torno do acesso ao direito e à justiça no contexto da Guiné-Bissau.

AfrikPlay | Filmes à Conversa

AfrikPlay – Filmes à Conversa | Chat and a movie is a new project presenting films focused in contemporary Africa, organized by CRIA (Network Centre for Anthropology Research) | ISCTE-IUL and Center of African Studies (CEA-IUL) | ISCTE-IUL. Being a ‘work in progress’, aims to bring cinema to the university, opening space for debate and reflection around films that present a innovative look on Africa.The growth of cinematographic productions about Africa has highlighted a number of films that set themselves apart from classical documentary concepts, either in their subjects of interest and chosen aesthetic language, approaching other artistic fields and merging reality with fiction. Some questions arouse our interest: what is the relationship between ‘yesterday’s images and the ones these new generations choose to see in Africa? How these fresh revelations defy our understanding of such a vast and complex continent?

Journal Cadernos de Estudos Africanos thematic Issues

The journal Cadernos de Estudos Africanos seeks contributions for a thematic issue on the African presence in contemporary Portuguese society. We start from a broad understanding of this sizeable populace, comprising not only people born in Africa or those who have lived there but also their descendants who identify themselves as Africans, Afro-Portuguese or retornados, irrespective of their nationality. Our aim is thus to portray a large and heterogeneous population (regarding the countries they come from, and the diversity of life courses, ethnic loyalties and cultural references) that nonetheless shares Africa as a common geographical reference. These groups include, but are certainly not limited to, the so-called second generation of African immigrants and those who have returned from the former colonies. In the Portugal of today, a person’s African heritage, or a prolonged residence in Africa, tend to be significant biographical elements, in addition to being key markers of a social and cultural alterity that is often racialized.

Vozes da Revolução. Guerra Colonial e Descolonização

Dando continuidade ao Colóquio quio Vozes da Revolução (2009), a Associação 25 de Abril, o Centro des Estudos de História Contemporânea Portuguesa (CEHCP-ISCTE-IUL), o Centro em Rede de Investigação em Anthropolgia (CRIA) e o Instituto de História Contemporânea (IHC-FCSH-UNL), propoem-se lançar nova luz sobre a Revolução portuguesa organizando um colóquio sobre a guerra colonial e o processo de descolonização, dois temas indissociavelmente ligados pois, como salienta Pedro Pezarat Correia, a descolinização não se limita auma mera «mudança de soberania» mas, antes pelo contrário, «um fenómeno muito mais longo e complexo» que se inicia no próprio periodo colonial, que é necessário chamr à colação para um melhor entendimento da «globalidade do percurso».
