  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.

  Food and Hospitals

  An Historical Perspective

  While contemporary grumblings about hospital food have become the quintessential hospital complaint, it is undeniable that a clean, warm bed, rest and the provision of food and drink, rather than medicines and therapies have always greatly increased hospital patients’ chances of recovery. Indeed diet has from the time of Galen been a central part of medical therapy. However, even if central to the day-to-day routine of hospitals, workhouses and asylums, food and drink continue to be overlooked in historical accounts of hospitalisation. This conference aims to foreground the role of food and drink in health care institutions in the past.

  Languages in Motion: Language Learning/Teaching and the Performing Arts

  Comme l'attestent quelques manifestations et publications récentes, nous assistons à l’émergence de pratiques innovantes qui intègrent l’expérience esthétique et les pratiques artistiques à la didactique des langues. Ces pratiques s’organisent le plus souvent autour de collaborations entre artistes, linguistes, didacticiens et littéraires. Au delà d'un nécessaire état des lieux, ce colloque international vise à examiner ces pratiques dans des contextes culturels et institutionnels variés, à préciser leurs assises théoriques et méthodologiques, à établir des éléments de comparaisons avec des pratiques similaires dans d’autres pays, et à faire le point sur leurs évolutions.

  Creative technologies

  "As pessoas querem expressar-se, querem ser ouvidas, querem participar na criação da sua envolvente." Desde o início da humanidade temos desenvolvido tecnologias criativas, ferramentas que suportam a nossa expressão, como as tintas, as ferramentas de esculpir, objetos sonoros. As tecnologias criativas foram sempre a base da expressividade humana; para suportar a realização pessoal; para aumentar a autoestima; para aumentar os laços comunitários; para criar sociedades melhores. Quanto mais nos expressamos, mais nos sentimos vivos.

  Complaining about Medicine

  In recent years, studies into experiences of health care have led historians to engage with the issue of the medical complaint. As expressions of dissatisfaction, disquiet and failings in service provision, the complaint is both a vital antidote to progressive histories of health care and, in generating contemporary investigation and debate, has also left a fertile seam for historical research. Often it is only when things go wrong that we begin to understand thecomplexity at work in past events. This two-day international conference will explore what has happened historically when medicine generated complaints.
