Excerpt:
Neste capítulo, iremos abordar uma pequena parte da história da luta e concertação de classes na II República Portuguesa, nomeadamente a primeira grande tentativa de estabelecimento de um acordo de concertação social após o epílogo do processo revolucionário, avançando com algumas hipóteses para a sua não consubstanciação a exemplo do caso espanhol.
About the book:
Nos últimos decénios tem feito curso nas ciências sociais e humanas a ideia de que as sociedades teriam deixado de se organizar em torno do trabalho. Paralelamente, tem-se afirmado igualmente o fim das ideologias, do sindicalismo ou da militância. No entanto, o que a realidade nos mostra é que, ao invés da supressão do trabalho, se tem vindo a assistir antes ao crescimento do número de pessoas nele envolvidas. Nesta nova etapa de desenvolvimento do capitalismo, o trabalho não se extinguiu e o que se verifica, verdadeiramente, é que sofreu profundas transformações ao ter-se tornado, para largos setores, mais instável, multifacetado, intensificado e desvalorizado. Por conseguinte, há que redescobrir o trabalho, tornar visível o que alguns pretendem ocultar e apreender toda a sua complexidade a partir dos olhares diversos que são protagonizados pelas várias ciências, numa perspectiva inter e multidisciplinar. Por outro lado, há que evidenciar igualmente as consequências da intensificação e da desvalorização do trabalho para a saúde dos trabalhadores e as suas condições de vida, bem como as modalidades de resistência que estes lhes opõem – no presente e no passado. Esta é a abordagem deste livro, que corresponde à organização dos textos e temas apresentados no IV Congresso de História do Trabalho, do Movimento Operário e dos Movimentos Sociais em Portugal & III Conferência do Observatório para as Condições de Trabalho e Vida, realizado na cidade de Lisboa em Novembro de 2019.

The Public History of Difficult Pasts
8th International Conference on Public History
IFPH 2026
The 8th International Conference on Public History, organised by the International Federation for Public History, IFPH, will take place in Lisbon from September 7 to 11, 2026. It will be hosted by IN2PAST – the Associate Laboratory for Research and Innovation in Heritage, Arts, Sustainability and Territory, a transdisciplinary consortium of seven research centres, at the Almada Negreiros College on the Campolide Campus of NOVA University Lisbon.
In a time of escalating attacks by right-wing movements on memory, diversity, human rights, democracy, and history itself, the IFPH reaffirms its commitment to fostering critical engagement with the ways societies confront, interpret, and relate to their difficult pasts and challenging presents. The IFPH strongly condemns book banning, the censorship of historical narratives, the surveillance of students and educators, the targeting of sites of remembrance, and the imposition of ideological agendas — particularly right-wing distortions — that not only threaten academic freedom but undermine the very principles upon which public history is built. Against this backdrop, the conference seeks to challenge historical revisionism and silencing, to amplify marginalised voices and memories, and to promote transnational dialogues on reconciliation, accountability, and restorative justice.
Public History has long addressed global historical processes such as colonialism, the transatlantic slave trade, and the genocide of Indigenous peoples, as well as phenomena that emerge in multiple contexts, including armed conflicts and dictatorships. It embodies both a political and ethical commitment to examining how difficult pasts have been lived and remembered by different communities and individuals, ensuring that their perspectives are acknowledged and respected. At the same time, engaging with these histories through Public History raises significant challenges. Sharing authority with specific communities and amplifying marginalised narratives may unintentionally silence other voices, while also presenting complex ethical dilemmas. Furthermore, Public History operates within the public sphere, engaging diverse audiences and navigating competing representations of the past in an era increasingly marked by the political instrumentalisation of history and the spread of revisionist and denialist discourses.

Detalhes do Evento
A discussion based on the book ‘European Perspectives on Transition‘. With Pablo Sánchez León and José Neves.
Conversa sobre conceitos, transição e revolução
O conceito de transição ocupa um lugar incómodo nos estudos sobre a história europeia contemporânea. Aparentemente incapaz de decifrar os complexos factores que moldam os processos de democratização, parece muitas vezes redundante como estrutura para a compreensão dos desenvolvimentos políticos recentes e em curso. Em European Perspectives on Transition: A Comparative and Transnational Approach to the History of a Political and Social Concept, Pablo Sánchez León e Agustín Cosovschi mostram o contrário, oferecendo uma história conceptual pioneira e muito necessária da transição numa perspectiva comparativa. Reunindo oito estudos de caso sobre o discurso transicional, que vão desde a chamada Terceira Vaga do Sul da Europa na década de 1970 até às mudanças de regime na Europa Central e Oriental, este volume apresenta um novo e importante caminho para o estudo da temporalidade e da transição na Europa.
Conversa entre Pablo Sánchez León e José Neves, com moderação de Rita Luís.
