Among the dominant theses of the neoliberal period, exacerbated by the crisis of 2008, is that the European Union would be the builder of the European Social State. In fact, the consolidation of the European Union implied the destruction of the Welfare State. The European Social State was born robust in 1945–1947, ten years before the European Coal and Steel Community (later European Economic Community and the European Union). The EU was consolidated only in the 1980s, after several crises and periods of instability. At the time the EU was brought together, the Social State had begun to enter a crisis, albeit a gradual one. The EU will play a decisive role, through the European Social Fund and the Community Directives, in replacing the Social State (universal policies based on progressive taxation) by Social Assistance (policies focused on the unemployed and the poor based on the transfer of workers’ income of average sectors for poor workers).

Retábulos, imagens, lâminas e painéis: A arte devocional
Acordar História Adormecida: Os documentos do Projecto VINCULUM
Maria Teresa Oliveira
Entre Abril e de Maio de 2024, o projecto VINCULUM organiza o ciclo de conversas “Acordar História Adormecida: Os documentos do Projecto VINCULUM”.
As sessões terão lugar em diferentes instituições culturais em Lisboa e Guimarães e contarão com a participação de alguns jovens investigadores/as do VINCULUM – Maria Teresa Oliveira, Ana Mafalda Lopes e Fábio Duarte – que darão a conhecer diversas temáticas através da documentação associada ao projecto.
Resumo:
No decorrer do projeto VINCULUM, foram compulsados, nos arquivos nacionais, milhares de documentos de proveniências distintas, que oferecem uma vastíssima gama de informação sobre a temática dos morgadios e capelas, mas cujo interesse não se esgota nela. A partir da documentação analisada, vislumbra-se o dia-a-dia de milhares de pessoas oriundas das mais diversas camadas sociais. Conhecem-se, por exemplo, pormenores sobre a encomenda de objectos artísticos, como pinturas, esculturas e retábulos, que decoravam as capelas e sepulturas dos defuntos ou os seus oratórios e ermidas particulares. Nesta conversa, pretende-se apresentar alguma desta variedade de informação, apontando pistas para o seu estudo futuro.
A entrada é livre, estando sujeita a inscrição para o email projectmanager.vinculum@fcsh.unl.pt (até dois dias antes do evento).
