    May 68 in the past fifty years - in French-language literature and culture. Appraisal and prospection

    Mai 68 dans la littérature et culture de langue française : bilans et prospections

    Bien plus que ressasser les circonstances historiques de 1968, il importe d’en dégager des bilans et des réinventions prospectives telles qu’elles s’expriment en langue française tant sur le plan culturel que littéraire, et en suivre les réalisations et les enjeux ; ce qui engage une réflexion à portée critique sur les échos multiples, parfois imprévus, de Mai 68 sur le présent et l’avenir.

    Manuscritos judaicos medievais na Península Ibérica

    Nas últimas décadas, devido ao incentivo de várias instituições como por exemplo a Rothschild Foundation, tem-se assistido a um acréscimo do interesse pelo tema dos manuscritos judaicos medievais, inclusivamente na Península Ibérica, com assinaláveis resultados ao nível da investigação arquivística e da apresentação dos respectivos resultados. O objectivo fundamental deste encontro é dar a conhecer esta diversidade apurada na investigação dos manuscritos medievais judaicos, e partilhar conhecimentos, conclusões, metodologias de análise e perspectivas de trabalhos futuros.

    Ética, política e cultura: migrações

    O impacto social e político dos fluxos migratórios recentes é incontestável. Eles induzem a necessidade de formas de coexistência mais integradoras, introduzem novas discussões na esfera pública, forçam a clarificação de fações, põem à prova a resiliência das democracias vigentes e a consistência dos valores nos quais se supõem assentes e suscitam um questionamento de fundo sobre o sentido da modernidade.

    Singing the Past

    Music and the Politics of Memory

    This international conference intends to investigate how songs can constitute means to narrate historical events as well as social and political figures.  This symposium intends to explore “unofficial” narratives that are clearly distinct from or opposing to political authority. This will allow us to investigate various relations to the past and how those may be performed, often through personal narratives constructing alternative histories.  Another central issue is the content of the songs. In other words, what in the songs’ material conveys historical and political meaning?  Nevertheless, it should not be studied apart from the music which conveys its social meaning. The choice of musical instruments, forms and aesthetics as well as musical borrowings or quotations highlights symbols that are superposed to and intertwined with textual content in a complex semiotic structure that needs to be unpacked.

    Marfim Africano: comércio e objectos, séculos XV-XVIII

    State-Rooms of Royal and Princely Palaces in Europe (14th-16th c.)

    Spaces, images, rituals

    From the fourteenth to the sixteenth century, European monarchies saw a gradual centralisation of power. This was accompanied by the dissemination of political ideas that contributed to the making of a new image of the prince, which relied on visual instruments to assert and construct the prince’s sovereign power. Royal and princely residences with their designated state-rooms were at the centre of this phenomenon. Their decors, particularly during ceremonies, reflected political interests and ambitions that were essential to the image of the prince. By placing a particular emphasis on the decor of those state-rooms, this workshop aims to increase our insights into the relations between the architecture, decoration, and rituals of monarchical power in state-rooms from the late middle ages to the beginning of the early modern period.

    Crossing Borders

    Intellectuals of the Right and Politics in Europe and Latin America

    During the interwar period, authoritarian movements and regimes of the right - both of the "old" authoritarian and of the "new" radical varieties - professed their faith in national values but at the same time saw themselves as national agents of an otherwise international intellectual and political wave. Starting from the mid-1920s, a growing sense of shared goals, commonality of vision, and sense of history-making mission led them to draw on each other for inspiration and support. It soon became clear that these movements and regimes embraced ideas from each other, actively studying each other’s discourses and initiatives in the political field. The conference aims to promote a different understanding of the role of intellectuals of the interwar right who perceived themselves as transnational agents “at the service of an idea”.

    Transições. Percursos, linguagens e estruturas em tempos de mudança

    O ritmo acelerado das mudanças históricas marcou a época contemporânea e, em particular, as últimas cinco décadas. No âmbito do século XX, sucederam-se experiências de mudança com tipologias e relevâncias variáveis, tendo afectado não só as estruturas (estados, instituições, partidos, etc) como também os indivíduos e a própria linguagem. Poderá, assim, afirmar-se que as mudanças, ou as transições, numa interpretação mais abrangente do termo, foram centrais nos processos históricos. Contudo, poucas propostas oferecidas pela ciência histórica têm refletido sobre este fenómeno – as transições e as suas consequências – num contexto geográfico e temporal alargado.

    Territorialidades e historicidades

    A relação entre pessoas e terra invoca historicidades que se sobrepõem de formas diversas. Juntando antropólogos a trabalhar sobre territorialidades em contextos indígenas no Brasil e antropólogos a trabalhar sobre territorialidades em espaços associados às margens da cidade de Lisboa, e colocando em debate etnografias sobre a terra como parte de processos de pertença com etnografias mais dirigidas a conflitos entre diferentes políticas públicas, o simpósio promete uma discussão que comprova a centralidade da questão da terra na conjuntura contemporânea.

    Medieval Europe in Motion 3

    L’objectif principal de ce colloque est d’analyser les phénomènes de circulation et de mobilité des élites lettrées (clercs, universitaires, praticiens), des enlumineurs, des manuscrits, des textes, des modèles artistiques et des idées liés à la pratique du droit dans le territoire européen avec une attention particulière pour les contrées méridionales (péninsule Ibérique, France du Midi et Italie). La recherche qui soutien l'idée de ce colloque dérive du projet de post-doctorat de Maria Alessandra Bilotta, qui vise à étudier les manuscrits juridiques enluminés conservés au Portugal et à mettre en évidence les liens artistiques et culturels entre le Portugal et le reste de l'Europe, avec un accent particulier sur les manuscrits des régions du sud (de la péninsule ibérique, sud de la France et de la péninsule italienne).

    Rehabilitation and Re-use of Modern Movement Architecture

    Seminar gathering in Lisbon international experts in architecture rehabilitation and urbanism of the Modern Movement. The seminar organized by Docomomo International will take place at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, on the 27th of March. In the last decades, the architectural heritage of the Modern Movement appeared more at risk than during any other period. At the end of the 1980s, many modern masterpieces had already been demolished or had changed beyond recognition. This seminar about Rehabilitation and Re-use of the Modern Movement Architecture aims at bringing together inspiring viewpoints about this global problem.

    Medieval Manuscripts in Motion 2015

This time, however, the kind of works under consideration will be illuminated manuscripts. This three-day Conference aims thus to conduct a critical and constructive revision of research on Iberian Book Illumination in the Middle Ages, proposing new questions to be discussed.

    The governance of the Atlantic ports (XIVth-XXIth century)

    Policies and economic dynamics

    Ports and port cities have stood out over time as important categories of historical analysis. The study of port systems and the internal dynamics of European ports, side by side with navigation circuits and international commerce has generated a vast literature.In the contexts of the first and the second globalization processes it is essential to develop crossing studies to place ports within globally articulated networks. The relationships between European, African and American Atlantic seaports are fundamental to the understanding of overall dynamics related to the economy, population, policy and culture. A wide European historiography confirms the importance of the seaport spaces and dynamics. This tends to be reinforced with innovative contributions, focused for the last decades upon port systems analysis.
