  Networks over space and time: modelling, analyzing, and representing complex data in the digital humanities

  This workshop is about interconnections between, and in space and time. But it also sees interconnections at other levels: between modelling and analysing, between theory and practice, as well as between humanities and computing.

  In the humanities, a close look at networks and relationships, whether formal or informal, personal or social, of information or of knowledge, of transportation or of communication, has always been an important subject of study and, at the same time, a powerful analytical process. In computer science, the study of networks and of methodologies for analysis and visualization of these relationships is nowadays an increasingly well understood and practiced area of knowledge. In both the humanities and computer science, researchers are well aware of the dynamic nature of data and knowledge when viewed through the lenses of space and time.

  When cities meet forests

  Environmental approaches of interactions between cities and forest supplies during the Middles Ages and the Early modern period. 12th International Conference on urban History, European Association for Urban History – Main Session M16

  As places of consumption and production European medieval and early modern cities exerted a enormous pressure on neighbouring woodlands. Some historical studies have already discussed the way cities tried to impone their control on these lands emphasizing the diversity of needs which were fulfilled by forest exploitation (wood, timber, charcoal, grazing…). They often concluded that urban pressure resulted in an inexorable degradation of the forest cover. Indeed local woodlands and forests products could probably never meet the demand. In order to face shortage or, better, to prevent it, urban authorities attempted on one hand to extend their control on more and more distant forests and to attract interregional or « international » trade flows. On the other hand, they tried to regulate the local market so as to ensure access to several important needs regarding urban economy (charcoal, timber).

  City Lights (XVIIth-XXIst centuries). Persistence and change in urban lighting technologies and night-time practices

  EAUH 2014, Session 12

  The session "City Lights" is organized within the framework of the 12^th international conference of the EAUH (European Association for Urban History) which will take place in Lisbon from the 3^rd to the 6^th September 2014. It is part of the studies on night, a dimension which has been long neglected in urban history. The session proposes to study in a comparative and multidisciplinary perspective (in history, geography, planning, sociology and environmental studies) the evolution of night-time and street-lighting  practices in the world from the XVII^th century up to the present:  from the increasing demand in public lighting in european capitals to the protection of the night sky and energy savings.

  Monarquias ibéricas em perspectiva comparada

  As monarquias imperiais ibéricas da época moderna têm sido objeto de um crescente interesse historiográfico. São inúmeros os estudos que assinalam a inserção global das redes dos dois impérios: as redes comerciais têm sido estudadas com bastante detalhe, e em articulação com estas, o tráfico de escravos, e, mais recentemente, as experiências sociais e culturais em contexto imperial têm adquirido saliência. Todavia, continuam a escassear os estudos que pensem ambas experiências comparativamente. Até que ponto é que as experiências imperiais ibéricas entre os séculos XVI e XVIII herdaram modelos político-administrativos que caracterizavam o mundo ibérico antes da expansão ultramarina? Em que medida é que estes modelos, ao serem transferidos e adaptados a diferentes contextos políticos, sociais e culturais, potenciaram novas soluções político-administrativas, algumas das quais, eventualmente, tiveram reverberações na cultura político-administrativa das metrópoles? Como é que as redes político-administrativas e respetivos agentes de poder se estruturaram e se reproduziram, o modo como estas articularam centros políticos e territórios imperiais, aproximando ou diferenciando uns e outros, constituindo, simultaneamente, as continuidades e singularidades entre metrópoles e territórios imperiais?

  History: change and continuity in a Global World

  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”.

  Call for Papers

  During the contemporaneity, military conflicts often provoked junctures of rupture and transformation in pre-existing realities, whether in political, economic or social contexts, or in cultural, scientific and intellectual domains, endued, sometimes of more conservative typologies or yet of a more modernising nature. In this sense, we intend to initiate an interdisciplinary debate on the problematic of "War, University and Science", bearing in mind these multiple relationships and interdependencies, as well as the associated epistemological problematic.

  Liberdades e direitos em tempos de insegurança

  Vivemos tempos inseguros. Perante o recrudescimento da ameaça terrorista e do crime organizado reforçaram-se as políticas de segurança interna e externa. Na Europa, em particular, a expansão dos sistemas de informação e o uso crescente de tecnologias de vigilância têm suscitado, contudo, o receio de que em nome da segurança se esteja afinal fragilizando a garantia de liberdades e direitos individuais como a intimidade da vida privada ou a proteção dos dados pessoais, entre outros. No entanto, o discurso oficial das instituições europeias tende a apresentar a segurança, por um lado, e as liberdades e direitos dos cidadãos, por outro lado, como valores simétricos e facilmente conciliáveis. Conciliáveis ou contraditórios, perguntar-se-á afinal?

  A arte de governar

  Novas perspectivas sobre o poder no Portugal contemporâneo

  As figuras do poder tenderam a ser identificadas por historiadores com os poucos homens e menos mulheres que ao longo dos tempos protagonizaram o governo dos Estados. As biografias de grandes dirigentes e as prosopografias das elites políticas têm-se multiplicado nas bibliotecas académicas e nos escaparates das livrarias. Contra esta história dos grandes líderes, fizeram-se ouvir, todavia, críticas historiográficas que têm contribuído para uma possível redefinição do entendimento e estudo das relações de poder ao longo da história.

  Metropolização, trajetórias residenciais e modos de vida: fendências nas metrópoles da Europa do Sul

  Em Portugal, o processo de urbanização, que tem início na década de 50, atinge o seu auge na década seguinte, entrando pelos “conturbados” anos 70. É a época dos HLM, das New Towns, dos “30 gloriosos” que viriam revolucionar a habitação das massas. Portugal também teve os seus grandes conjuntos de iniciativa pública, poucos. A maioria era privada. Era nas periferias ou nos limites periféricos da cidade que se construíam os “novos bairros”, de habitação coletiva ou de moradias, frequentemente clandestinas.
