  (Anti-)racism and critical interventions in Europe

  Social sciences, policy developments and social movements

  In contemporary Europe, we are witnessing the vanishing of anti-racism from political cultures and academic discourses, in favour of an approach that intervenes on immigrants and minorities themselves via public rhetoric on integration. This conference will thus bring together an international community engaging in debates on racism and anti-racism to discuss the analytical approaches and main findings of the European research project TOLERACE - The semantics of tolerance and (anti-)racism in Europe: public bodies and civil society in comparative perspective, coordinated by the Centre for Social Studies.

  Administrative and Legal Documentation in Pre-colonial Africa and Beyond

  Fifth European Conference on African Studies (ECAS 5)

  Historians, anthropologists as well as specialists of various scholarly traditions are invited to reflect on the question of production, transmission and preservation of administrative and legal documentation in pre-colonial Africa. The aim of this panel is to foster dialogue between scholars working on non-narrative sources, whether land charters, weddings contracts, deeds, funerary inscriptions or other archival materials. Presentations of methodological issues rather than case-studies would facilitate a comparative approach leading to a renewed understanding of the social organizations that produced these documents.

  Seminar - Ethnology, anthropology

  Marcas do império. Colonialismo e pós colonialismo na época contemporânea

  Nos últimos anos tem-se assistido a um interesse crescente, no âmbito das ciências sociais em Portugal, por temáticas relacionadas com o colonialismo português e com as marcas que o mesmo deixou naquilo que designamos como pós-colonial. Áreas de investigação como a história, a antropologia e a sociologia, mas também os estudos literários e os estudos culturais, têm vindo a abordar o colonialismo e a guerra colonial nas suas mais diversas vertentes. O IHC e o CRIA vêm propor, com o presente seminário, um espaço de reflexão e de diálogo em torno das mais recentes linhas de investigação dedicadas ao colonialismo português.
