Article included in the thematic dossier “Portugal and the Great War“, edited by Jorge Fernandes Alves and Gaspar Martins Pereira.
The difficulties of the portuguese urban towns to be supplied with staple food caused a deep escalation of prices and diverse moments of generalized hunger in the most underprivileged layers of our society during the Great War. From the need to study these harmful effects in a circumscribed geographic area, this article addresses the «question of subsistence» within the community of Setúbal, then the third city with the highest demographic index in the country and characterized as a working and fishing region. From the institutional point of view, the present study will emphasize the inoperative measures of the City Hall within the framework of the ‘war economy’ and exemplify the difficulties that a social solidarity institution such as Misericórdia de Setúbal experienced. Among the impacts addressed, it will be analyzed the intense social upheaval generated by famine, that was marked by collective assaults on farms and commercial establishments, by strikes and by anti-interventionist protests of a «working class volcano» that erupted..

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).
