  Living Mobilities: Pathways, Directions and Policies

  In 2016, we met in Braga to discuss experiences about living mobilities, and debate reflections and results of research on (new) cultures of time, space and distance. Two years later, we travel South. In Évora, 2018, we intend to maintain the theme and broaden the debate on mobility in the contemporary world, looking particularly at its pathways, directions and policies. We now have a significant theoretical-conceptual knowledge about mobility, its senses, scales and experiences. This knowledge is shaped by the great questions that inspire contemporary social theorization around the uses, appropriations and representations of time and space. From what unites them and also from what separates them

  Thinking Latin-American Right-Wings in the XXth Century

  This conference is the continuation of two previous conferences held in France (2014) and Argentina (2016) which saw the gradual emergence of a community of researchers working on the questions of identities, ideas, practices and discourses of actors and movements from Latin American rightwing. It is difficult to establish the precise conceptual limits of the rightwing because of the heterogeneity and plurality of the groups and movements that have historically been part of this family and which are thus characterized by the presence of diverse political traditions. It is therefore essential to imagine flexible boundaries when considering rightwing history and taking into account the changes it experienced over time. Our purpose is not to establish canonical definitions, but rather to contribute to set general frameworks for this field of study whose historical relevance and actuality are no longer to be demonstrated, but whose limits and fundamental characteristics are still debated.

  A educação e os sentidos de futuro em contextos de incertezas no Brasil e em Portugal

  VI colóquio Luso-Brasileiro de sociologia da educação

  Vivemos um tempo duro e de incertezas. Porém, o texto de Galeano nos provoca a pensar que é um tempo que se abre para novas expectativas para se pensar a educação, para continuar a produzir outros modos de olhar e escutar, de compreender e interpretar em outras direções e é tempo de novas (re)construções. Para escapar ou amenizar as incertezas desse tempo é preciso produzir conhecimento crítico que indague o cotidiano e provoque reflexões e participações ativas. No sentido de Galeano e Freire, é preciso refletir, compreender e fazer para mudar o que somos e para transformarmos o mundo.

  Municipalisation and urban management in Mozambique

  Le Mozambique est encore très largement géré par l'administration de l'État central: il n'y a que 58 municipalités, toutes urbaines. La questionne est donc très politique, puisque toute avancée de la municipalisation permet à l'opposition d'acquérir plus de poids, même si le parti au pouvoir garde le contrôle sur la majorité d'entre elles. Ce colloque international aura lieu une dizaine de jours après la tenue des élections municipales d'octobre 2018, qui seront un test grandeur nature pour les élections présidentielles et législatives de l'année suivante...

  Voyage and Cosmopolitanism: From the Island to the World

  We intend to problematize various issues in the current scholarship of the humanities and social sciences from inter- and cross-cultural perspectives: cultural heritage, culture and globalization, identity and the sense of belonging, the impact of (re)writing literatures and other arts within the ethics of "reliance", proposed by Edgar Morin, and of the universalizing singularities, in Alain Badiou's view.

  PhD Inter-university Programme in History

  Applications for academic year 2018/2019

  PIUDHIST is an inter-university doctoral programme in which History is viewed from an inter-disciplinary point of view. Despite its unique character, History is regarded here as a field of knowledge which cannot do without a permanent cross fertilization with other areas in the humanities and the social sciences. In our vision, this is also why we consider apposite to attach, as a subtitle for this programme, the words “change and continuity in a global world”. It takes place in Lisbon, Portugal, jointly organized by the University of Lisbon, University of Évora, Portuguese Catholic University and ISCTE - Lisbon University Institute. Courses and seminars run in Portuguese and English. Enrolled students receive monitoring assistance by tutors and supervisors.

  Iberian radical left, revolutionary process and democratic transition – rupture and consensus

  Comparative perspectives

  An ideological prejudice and a kind of tacit normativity have historically devalued the role played by radical leftists in the transition processes. This colloquium intends to be a contribution to the restoration of this balance.

  Students' come and go. Unpacking the effects of academic mobility in urban metabolism and regeneration

  The aim and scope of the special session: Academic mobility’s impact in hosting cities and regions is often overlooked as it is perceived as being episodic, with a limited and temporary effect. Against this background, this special session aims to unpack the long-lasting influence of academic mobility in urban metabolism and regeneration processes. From larger to smaller cities and universities, how can we make use of the principles of a circular economy to understand the effects, strengths and limits of academic mobility in regional development? As academic mobility is increasing worldwide, this special session looks at the particular challenges it raises for a sustainable future.

  2º Congresso Internacional de Redes Sociais

  2nd Congress International of Social Networks

  Social networks occupy today an unprecedented centrality in developed societies. They are one of the most important components in the structure of social relations between people and organizations, through which they share values, expectations, interests and an immensity of flows that place them at a high level of complexity. Knowing and understanding this complexity, as well as the social networks and the multiplicity of configurations that are inherent to them, is one of the biggest challenges of our times. Today, talking about social networks, puts us on a new paradigm in the social sciences. In the dynamics of social relations, the actors involved in it, develop their interactions driven by diverse logics and strategies of action, putting challenges in their analysis and understanding to social intervenors and the academic community. It is in this context that the 2nd edition of CIReS.

  Vilém Flusser, Walter Benjamin – The technical ambiguities

  “Artefilosofia” Journal

  In different moments of his work, Walter Benjamin reflects upon the question of technology and related issues such as work as the mediation between man and nature, conducting his critical analysis of progress. He says: “What’s the idea? to speak of progress to a world sinking into the rigidity of death. (...) The concept of progress must be grounded in the idea of catastrophe. That things are 'status quo' is the catastrophe. It is not an ever-present possibility but what in each case is given.” Marxism will also be reviewed by him  according to his critical conception of progress: “Marx said that revolutions are the locomotive of world history.

  Na era da “pós-verdade”? Esfera pública, cidadania e qualidade da democracia no Portugal contemporâneo

  X Congresso português de sociologia

  A Sociologia Portuguesa tem um papel a desempenhar na análise das emergentes reconfigurações da esfera pública, particularmente no que se refere à centralidade dos comportamentos, atitudes e opiniões construídos no e pelo ciberespaço, embora com intensas repercussões offline, abarcando o domínio do que comummente se apelida de “redes sociais”. Em certa medida, importa perceber as metamorfoses da sociedade da informação e do conhecimento, particularmente quando se disseminam práticas sociais assentes na dissociação entre os protocolos de construção dos factos e a ductilidade epidérmica das opiniões e das emoções, erigidas, tantas vezes, em critério único de relevância argumentativa.
