This article constitutes a case study of, on the one hand, the evolution of Portuguese border policy regarding refugees and, on the other, the circumstances surrounding the awareness of the Holocaust by the Portuguese state. The first section discusses the evolution of official Portuguese policy toward refugees, in particular Jews, from the early 1930s onward. We support the argument that Portugal’s increasingly restrictive border policies toward Jewish refugees are most effectively explained not by antisemitic ideology, but by social and political motivations. The following section of this paper will focus on the period that followed the invasion of the Soviet Union, when the Holocaust began. Our main objective is to understand the point at which the Portuguese government and Portuguese society became aware of the mass slaughter that was taking place in Eastern Europe. We will then analyze the impact of this knowledge on the Portuguese government’s position on the refugees, especially as it became aware of the extent of the crimes being committed. The article will conclude with the presentation and discussion, for the first time, of German primary sources that inform on the role of the Portuguese state in the Holocaust. This last section assesses an important and heretofore unanswered question regarding Nazi Germany’s inclusion of neutral countries, including Portugal, in the carrying out of the ‘Final Solution to the Jewish Question’.

Rice: ersatz, cultural artifact, object of knowledge, unruly crop
A dietary mainstay in non-European societies and a cornerstone of dishes like Northern Italian risotto, rice has diverse culinary significance. However, the timing of its introduction to Northern Italy remains unclear. Examining this event offers insights into the process of integrating new crops into both diet and cultural imagination. This talk is about the socio-economic, cultural, scientific, technological, and medical responses to the expansion of rice cultivation in northern Italy between the sixteenth and the eighteenth/early nineteenth centuries. Bringing together the history of knowledge and environmental history, in this talk I will reflect on how rice was appropriated by several actors, and on how these appropriations were intertwined with perceptions and constructions of the landscape and material environment. By interlacing narratives of rice cultivation and of the landscapes rice forms, alongside discussions of infrastructural development and knowledge systems, I will also delineate the progression of interactions between humans and their environments, as well as the evolution of water management practices, scientific advancements, medical understandings, and political-economic ideologies across different historical periods. Additionally, the talk will highlight how resources were conceptualized in the early modern period, reconnecting to contemporary debates on the Anthropocene and on the agency of non-humans.
About IHC’s 2024 Visiting Scholar:
Lavinia Maddaluno is Assistant Professor in early modern history at the Department of Humanities at Ca’ Foscari, Venice, working on David Gentilcore’s ERC project The Water Cultures of Italy 1500-1900. She is a historian of science interested in exploring the nexus between humans, nature and economy in early modern Europe. Lavinia has just completed her first monograph Science and political Economy in Enlightenment Milan (1760-1805), forthcoming with the Voltaire Foundation in autumn 2024. She is currently editing a book on rice in the Mediterranean with Rachele Scuro and a special issue on Water Knowledge with Giacomo Savani and Davide Martino. Lavinia has held multiple fellowships since the end of her PhD (Cambridge UK, 2018), from a Rome Fellowship at the British School at Rome, to a Max Weber Fellowship at the EUI and a joint Warburg/I Tatti Fellowship in the History of Science. More recently, she has been Fellow at the Fondation Maison des Sciences de l’Homme and the Fondazione Einaudi, working on a new project on rice-related knowledge networks between France and Italy in the Enlightenment.
Attendance is free.
