Para Que Serve o PCP? Os Anos da Fundação
O PCP nasceu em 1921 e sofreu sucessivas crises internas durante o complexo processo de fundação e de reconhecimento como destacamento nacional do movimento comunista. Ao longo destes mais de 100 anos, resistiu à ditadura do Estado Novo e à reversão do processo revolucionário de 1974, aguentou o impacto da queda do muro de Berlim e a vaga de dissensões internas, enfrentou a implosão da União Soviética e, desde 2022, interpreta a guerra da Rússia contra a Ucrânia no quadro emocional e geográfico da antiga pátria do socialismo. Como é que o PCP sobrevive a tudo isto?
Apesar de todos os abalos que continua a sofrer um pouco por todo o mundo, só o tempo dirá se o presente refluxo dos sistemas socialistas corresponde a uma dinâmica da extinção da própria ideia ou se as desigualdades e as crises do sistema capitalista continuarão como penhor de sobrevivência do marxismo-leninismo.

Visões Não-Canónicas do Brasil
Joint Workshop – Interpretações do Brasil
O Programa de Pós-graduação em Ciências Sociais da Universidade Estadual de Maringá, o Programa de Pós-graduação em Sociologia da Universidade Federal do Piauí e o Instituto de História Contemporânea da Universidade NOVA de Lisboa se reúnem para promover a segunda edição do Joint Workshop – Interpretações do Brasil – uma iniciativa que pretende debater a história da produção do conhecimento do e sobre o Brasil a partir de múltiplas perspectivas.
Nesta nova edição, participantes de diversas instituições brasileiras e portuguesas discutem o tema “Visões Não-Canónicas do Brasil“, destacando o pensamento de intelectuais “marginais” sobre o país e interpretações esquecidas ou apagadas da história. Como uma ideia ou teoria é superada e deixa de ter importância no pensamento social? Como intelectuais, periódicos ou instituições periféricas se relacionam com as instâncias dominantes de produção do conhecimento? Como circulam as interpretações produzidas nas margens do sistema universitário ou do campo cultural? Que nuances as trajectórias de intelectuais periféricos trazem para a história do pensamento social brasileiro?
Essas e outras questões serão abordadas neste workshop, a ser realizado nos dias 6 e 7 de Dezembro, online, via Zoom.

Seminar organised as part of the TRANSMAT project on debates about cultural objects arising from colonial periods. With Lucas Lixinski.
Objectos Culturais Coloniais:
experiências europeias de conhecimento, retorno e reparações
Neste seminário, Lucas Lixinski focar-se-á nos debates actuais sobre objectos culturais com proveniência ligada a períodos coloniais. Usando uma diversidade de enquadramentos teóricos, mostrará as premissas e falhas de argumentos e discursos jurídicos sobre esses temas. A tese principal da palestra, que informa um livro que Lixinski está a terminar, é que qualquer discussão sobre o retorno desses objectos exige mais do que simples actos de retorno. Exigem-se medidas de produção de conhecimento histórico e debates vigorosos sobre o património cultural, não como uma relíquia estática do passado, mas como um vector de relações sociais e políticas sobre a sociedade que queremos para o futuro.
Sobre o orador:
Lucas Lixinski é professor na Faculdade de Direito e Justiça da Universidade de Nova Gales do Sul (Sydney, Austrália). É um especialista mundial em temas de direito do património cultural, tendo mais de 130 publicações científicas nessa área. Os seus trabalhos foram amplamente divulgados nas principais editoras e periódicos do mundo anglófono. O seu último livro foi publicado pela Cambridge University Press, em 2021, com o título Legalized Identities: Cultural Heritage Law and the Shaping of Transitional Justice. Foi Vice-presidente da Association of Critical Heritage Studies, e rapporteur do comité sobre participação na gestão global do património cultural da Association de Droit International.

Conference that intends to enable a set of dialogues between diverse mapping experiences of performing arts archives from the end of the 20th century.
Crossed Archives
The first International Conference of the project ARTHE – Archiving Theatre (PTDC/ART-PER/1651/2021) intends to enable a set of dialogues between diverse mapping experiences – regarding the location, identification, treatment, conservation and eventual public mediation – of performing arts archives from the end of the 20th century, with particular focus on its last 30 years. This is a time of great technical and aesthetic transformations in the scene, in the training and work of the performer, in “independent” work modalities without theatre managers, including the emergence of performative experiences: from performance art to physical theatre, poor theatre, intercultural theatre, visual theatre, as well as to dance theatre, new dance, contemporary dance, among others. This period also entails major changes in the technological means at hand – from photocopiers to the Ford Transit and the handheld video camera, from the prêt-à-porter to charter flights – with repercussions on the modes of production and associated materials, now manifest in the archives. In Portugal, the period at stake coincides, in a broad sense, with the stretch leading up to the 25th of April 1974 and its aftermath.
What can be encountered in these archives? To what particular type of knowledge do they provide access? What are the challenges brought about by the diverse materiality of their documents, to the very task of archiving and the idea of archiving? What do they tell us about their time and the way in which the performing arts inhabit and participate in it?
After a journey at the National Museum of Theatre and Dance in July 2023, in which the provisional – currently still under work – results of the mapping of the state of the archives of seventeen Portuguese theatre companies who agreed to join the project, were presented and discussed, this Conference with an international and comparative scope proposes a cross-approach of similar endeavours: from Chile to Brazil, from Italy to the United Kingdom. It is about sharing, reflecting on and considering ways of approaching (and possibly providing for the preservation) of the companies’ archives, particularly the ones of the period in case, closely related to the key terms “Independent Theatre” and “Decentralization” which are recurrent in the discourses of the time. It is about understanding the archive not only as a system of organization and as way of rethinking the past from a situated present, but also as a set of practices, decisions and concrete material procedures.
This encounter will gather researchers and artists such as keynote speakers Heike Roms, consultant of ARTHE – Archiving Theatre, organizer of the project ‘It was forty years ago today…’: Locating the Early History of Performance Art in Wales 1965-1979, and Elisabeth Azevedo, coordinator and researcher of the ‘Traje em Cena’ project, who organized the costume collection at the Theatro Municipal de São Paulo and the research project ‘Inventário da Cena Paulistana’.
The conference will also feature recent experiences in which the digital takes on a central expression regarding the ways of imagining, treating, and presenting the archive. This is the case of the European project (ERC) INCOMMON. In praise of community. Shared creativity in arts and politics in Italy (1959-1979) represented by Marco Baravalle. In addition to having inventoried the tense relationship between performing arts and politics in the Italy of the “anni di piombo”, the project proposes cartographies merging the protagonists with their existential and aesthetic experiences. Two projects from Chile are part of this same line of approach to archives of performing arts. If CATASTRO DE ARCHIVOS DE ARTES ESCÉNICAS, represented here by Pía Gutiérrez, professor at the School of Theatre at PUC in Chile and member of the ARDE project, is the international proposal that most resembles the kind of mapping carried out by ARTHE, the project ARDE – Archivos de Arte, represented by researcher Katharina Eitner, unfolds the notion of archive taking into account the specificity of each process of work; somewhat like INCOMMON, it documents current scenic practices whilst revisiting specific archives and mapping out cartographies.
Throughout the cross-presentation and critical discussion of the objectives, methodologies and results of each of these distinct projects coming from different contexts, we are looking for an approach to the situation of the archives of performing arts which considers their contribution to a better understanding of the tight implication of the arts with the societies they participate in. We also try to ponder on forms of better preserving them.
Call for communications
The conference proposes an open call for communications with focus on specific work with archives of the performing arts created in the last 30 years of the last century, which may help to problematize artistic, philosophical, technical, historiographical, sociological and political issues regarding both the practices of archiving and the archive as a problem, as well as the eventual production and transmission of knowledge stemming from archives and/or the cultural history of their times/temporalities of construction.
Archivists, researchers and artists are therefore invited to propose communications of around 15 minutes, which start from concrete work with archives in performing arts, focusing on, but not limited to, the following topics:
– archives at risk: what can be done?
– taking care of archives in performing arts: inventory, classification, cataloguing, indexing, digitization and rendering accessible
– mediations and remediations of the archive
– specific approaches to the materialities of the archive: paper documentation of various sorts, objects/props, equipment, audio-visuals, scenography set models, costumes and garments, etc.
– queer archives and the “queering” of the archive
– “minor” archives, “counter-archives”, “anarchives” and “archives of the common”
– interconnected archives: personal, institutional and other related collections
– archive-specific performativities: what archives to produce and what other performances do they enable?
– the digital and the archives: digitalization and born-digital documentation
– memories that unfold across archives
– ways to reactivate archives in performing arts

Paisagem, turismo e desenvolvimento local:
Os impactes de passadiços, miradouros e baloiços no interior de Portugal
Apresentação de António Azevedo (IR; Lab2PT — Universidade do Minho), Luís Silva (CRIA – NOVA FCSH), Francisco Freire (CRIA – NOVA FCSH) e Rute Matos (CHAIA – Universidade de Évora).
Nos últimos anos, temos assistido à instalação de passadiços, miradouros e baloiços um pouco por todo o território nacional, tendo em vista o aumento da atractividade turística dos seus locais de implantação e dos respectivos municípios. Os impactes locais, assim como o perfil dos utilizadores destes equipamentos, permanecem inexplorados na literatura académica. Este projecto exploratório visou colmatar esta lacuna de conhecimento, mediante o estudo das repercussões dessas construções em termos socio-económicos, ambientais, turísticos, culturais e paisagísticos a nível local, bem como do perfil socio-demográfico dos visitantes.

Olhar de Fora 2: Portugal por Olhares Estrangeiros
Colóquio Internacional
O Instituto de História Contemporânea da Universidade NOVA de Lisboa apresenta a segunda edição do colóquio Olhar de Fora. Partindo do princípio de que a vida e a obra de uma pessoa constituem um
todo articulado, a pergunta feita aos participantes foi: quais são os efeitos epistemológicos das suas próprias condições sociais sobre o conhecimento que vocês produzem? Ou seja, o que se pede é um exercício de auto-reflexão, focado nas relações entre elementos da vida pessoal de cada participante e os resultados das pesquisas realizadas. A unidade de saída, partilhada por todas as pessoas convidadas, é o facto de estudarem temas relacionados com Portugal e, ao mesmo tempo, não serem portuguesas.
A estrangeiridade em relação ao objecto de investigação, no entanto, é apenas o ponto de partida. Afinal, não necessariamente é este o factor social mais relevante nas trajectórias de cada pessoa quando elas pensam sobre a sua própria produção intelectual. Género, raça, religião, geração ou quaisquer outros elementos constitutivos das condições sociais específicas podem e devem ser mobilizados para responder à questão inicial.
O colóquio Olhar de Fora – Portugal por olhares estrangeiros, vai acontecer em duas mesas de debate, no dia 14 de Dezembro, via Zoom, às 14h e às 18h.
Sintam-se todas e todos convidados a participar.

Religious Consciences and Colonialism:
Experiences and Legacies
Commemorating of the 50th anniversary of Carnation Revolution, the International Conference Religious Consciences and Colonialism: Experiences and Legacies will take place at the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Lisbon between 17 and 19 January 2024. The event is organised by the Centro de Estudos Africanos da Universidade do Porto, Centro de Estudos de História Religiosa da Universidade Católica Portuguesa, Centro de Estudos Internacionais do Instituto Superior das Ciências do Trabalho e da Empresa, Centro de História da Universidade de Lisboa, Instituto de Estudos Sociais e Económicos, Institute of Contemporary History of the NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities, and the Queen’s University Belfast.
Part of the commemoration of the Portuguese revolution, this international conference will explore religious figures and institutions which, through the conscience and actions, raised their voices and took action again colonialism and the dictatorship of the Estado Novo. At the same time it aims at assessing the religious, social and political heritage that exists in the societies formerly colonised by Portugal, particularly in Africa.
Call for papers
The forms of religious consciousness – from the local and ancestral to those that arrived in Africa by the hand of the colonists – can contain a synthesis of human history. In the colonial context, religious consciousnesses had to deal with themselves, that is, with their usefulness in shaping the relationship between colonists and the colonised, in multiple colonial situations. Colonialism and the changes of the post-colonial period have called into question the universalism of the message of some religions, particularly those that were the vehicle of so-called Western values, which none the less played a relevant role in the progressive affirmation of the colonised.
In different contexts and under different forms, at the initiative of European and African missionaries, catechisation and conversion were, inadvertently or not, vehicles for creating individualistic and, subsequently, new political consciousness, most often anti-colonial. Even if not oriented towards nationalist struggle, anti-colonial resistance in the name of religious imperatives – preached by African religious – had a significant role in the corrosion of settler certainties. Because of the African handling of religious messages, colonial domination (and also the forms of subjection in force after independence) did not always correspond to the spiritual subalternisation of Africans or the colonised.
Still, religious consciences or visions have not ceased to be instrumentalised, nor have they ceased to be disparaged by nationalist leaders, who, imbued by an unholy faith in their own political slogans, accused them of being a vehicle of alienation and subjection.
After coming under fierce attack from heralds of the new liberating creeds – like ideologies – religious consciences survived political vicissitudes and trials, while ideologies fell heavily. Not infrequently, political leaders pushed ideology aside, exchanging it for pragmatism or authoritarianism, supported, whenever possible and credible, by the invocation of the divine.
Nowadays, as a political trump card in various parts of the world, religious beliefs have conditioned, in multiple forms, political designs in independent Africa, especially in the former Portuguese colonies. If, to some extent, religious beliefs and consciences depend on the contingencies of the drift of societies, they are also based in their historical experience, sometimes against colonialism.
For this International Conference – Religious Consciences in the Face of Colonialism: Experiences and Legacies – we will accept proposals which reveal the multiplicity of religious experiences in the colonial context, and their political and social uses leading to various attitudes, from acceptance of to opposition to the colonial situation.
We will also accept proposals that evaluate religious legacies in post-colonial societies where, frequently, political actors and institutions have tended, implicitly, to replicate procedures similar to the religious ones they yse to criticise, to achieve the imposition of their truths.

Congress on the practice of commoning throughout history with the primary objective to present innovative research informed by critical interculturality. Deadline: 15 December 2023
Commoning:
Common Resources, Associationism and Networks of Reciprocity throughout History
The resistance to poverty and inequalities manifests in various social practices that can be understood under the broad concept of Commoning. These practices, which include the use of common resources, associationism, and informal networks of cooperation and reciprocity, demonstrate versatility and resilience as they adapt to different societies, cultures, and historical contexts. While they are recognized as counter-hegemonic models that promote alternative relationships between economy, society, and nature, further knowledge is required to understand the historical evolution of this collective action repertoire.
The primary objective of the international congress on the practice of commoning throughout history is to present innovative research informed by critical interculturality. The congress aims to foster dialogue between the global North and South, valuing both theoretical insights and practical experiences. By focusing on diverse cultural contexts, the congress seeks to bring together researchers and activists to explore commonalities and specificities of these social practices. Additionally, the congress intends to reflect on significant topics such as social class, gender, ethnicity, and assess the impacts of capitalism’s expansion, state and coloniality, diaspora, and the development agenda from a diachronic perspective.
Call for papers
>> Download the call for papers (PDF) <<
We encourage the submission of case studies on commons, cooperatives, mutuals, associations, and informal cooperation and reciprocity schemes. Additionally, we welcome comparative and entangled analyses that shed light on the multifaceted history of commoning practices.
Proposals in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French are accepted. Selected papers from the congress will be considered for publication in an open-access, peer-reviewed electronic book.
You can submit a proposal via this form.

Queen Elizabeth II: Life, Times, Legacies
The reign of the late Queen Elizabeth II (1952-2022) was the longest so far in the history of the British monarchy. Partly due, without doubt, to its exceptional duration, her seventy-year reign witnessed momentous events with far-reaching consequences, such as the end of the Empire; the decline of Britain on the international political scene; the ‘troubles’ and unrest within the British Isles and the prospect of a DisUnited Kingdom; the emergence and consolidation of popular and youth cultures and the relationship between the Crown and the media, to name but a few. The period is also of particular interest for Anglo-Portuguese Studies, as it raises issues such as the political relations between the two oldest allies during the Salazar/Caetano regime, the official visits, the impact of World War II, decolonisation, and the Revolution of the 25th April 1974, amongst others.

Congresso internacional 50 anos do 25 de Abril
Cinquenta anos depois, o 25 de Abril e o processo revolucionário de 1974-75 continuam a ser objecto de discussão em várias disciplinas das ciências sociais e das humanidades. Sobretudo nas últimas décadas, os debates em torno da Revolução procuraram ir para além dos estudos pioneiros sobre o processo político e militar, através de múltiplas abordagens que ajudam a compreendê-lo em toda a sua complexidade: as transformações sociais e a participação política de base; os contextos internacionais, nomeadamente no que diz respeito aos processos de luta anti-colonial e à Guerra Fria; as dinâmicas políticas e sociais na sua diversidade regional; a economia política da Revolução; os repertórios de luta e as linguagens escritas, visuais e musicais; o papel da Revolução e da sua memória na história global e na sociedade portuguesa democrática; os processos de patrimonialização, musealização e preservação das memórias; as análises comparativas com outras revoluções e transições para sistemas democráticos.

History & Responsibility:
Doing History in Times of Conflicting Political Demands
5th network conference of the International Network for Theory of History
The International Network for Theory of History (INTH) is pleased to announce that its fifth network conference will take place on 22, 23 and 24 May 2024 and will be hosted by the Institute of Contemporary History at NOVA University Lisbon. The goal of the conference is to gather theorists of history and historians of historiography from around the world, and foster the exchange of ideas, questions, and resources. This year’s overarching theme is historical responsibility.
The writing of history has always involved ethical concerns. But the past few decades have witnessed increasing and widespread public discussions about the responsibility of history and historians in society. Perhaps the most famous examples of this are the debates surrounding historical wrongs and their relation to contemporary injustices and inequalities. Think, for instance, of the initiatives that seek to address the role of historical slavery in contemporary racism or the continuing influence of colonial legacies on (global) power relations. The idea of historical wrongs has also been raised in relation to the impact of past pollution on climate change, or the influence of institutional child abuse on contemporary socio-economic problems faced by indigenous communities.
Historians and their work have often been under the spotlight in such discussions: while some wish to see (academic) historiography as an important resource to back-up and legitimate claims for historical redress, others see it as having been neglectful of, or even (in)directly involved in, historical wrongs. Historians themselves have expressed conflicting views about what the ethical commitments of the profession should be.
The current proliferation of debates about the link between history and contemporary injustices provide an opportune moment to reflect on the relationship between history and responsibility more generally. This relationship is undoubtedly complex, ambiguous, and contested. Many historians have warned that engagements with the past do not inherently serve justice or lead to morally responsible behavior (Minow 1999; Torpey 2001). Old critiques of the blind belief in historical progress or teleological conceptions of historical time have also unsettled the idea that historians and/or history itself can be the agents of “history’s judgment” (Scott 2020). In the field of memory studies as well, scholars have pointed out how the “moral remembrance” of dark pasts does not automatically lead to an enlightened “good citizenship” or increased respect for other cultures and noted that it sometimes even produces an entirely opposite attitude (David 2020; Gensburger and Lefranc 2020).
Despite these criticisms, many have refused to entirely give up on the idea that history connects to (moral) responsibility (Cotkin, 2008). If there is not even a weak moral motive involved in our engagements with the past, why bother studying history at all? In any case, many policymakers and professional historians appear to believe that engaging with history can lead people to become more ethically responsible.
Of course, many of the issues raised in these recent debates are not new. Historians have always reflected on what can be considered (ir)responsible ways of doing historical research or writing history. Recently, however, a genuine ‘ethical turn’ in our field appears to have gained a new momentum. We now hear calls for the rehabilitation of value judgment about the past (Bloxham 2020), explicit pleas for the creation of an ethical code for a ‘Responsible History’ (De Baets 2009), and an increasing focus on epistemic virtues (Paul 2022), epistemic justice (Domanska 2021), or the figure of the moral witness (Tozzi 2012).
Call for papers
For the 2024 edition of the INTH Network conference we invite contributors to reflect on the entangled issues of historical responsibility and responsible history. We propose the following guiding questions:
1. (How) are we responsible to history?
• How can we conceptualize ‘historical responsibility’ and how does it relate to historical ‘guilt’ or ‘debt’?
• (How) can responsibility be transmitted over generations? Is it typically a collective affair or does it primarily stick to particular individuals?
• Can we ‘owe’ something to the past or the dead?
• Are there temporal (or other) limits as to how far back one can go in history for the purpose of redeeming it or holding people responsible?
• Can grave historical injustices be ‘superseded’ by changed circumstances in the present (e.g. composition of populations, changed socio-economic relations or political systems)?
• Should priority be given to so-called ‘enduring injustices,’ (Spinner-Halev, 2012) whereby historical grievances have clear ties to contemporary injustices, or should historical wrongs be addressed independently of their legacy in the present?
2. (How) can we write responsible/responsibilizing histories?
• What kind of engagement with the past can help to foster a democratic political culture, address enduring injustices, or counter ultra nationalist, neo-fascist and other extremist political tendencies?
• What kind of historical narrations or other types of historical representation can be considered (ir)responsible in relation to particular contexts?
• Is the prime responsibility of professional historians a deontological one relating to academic procedures and source criticism, or can particular situations trump these and create other priorities and types of responsibility?
• Does a focus on historical responsibility always lead to forms of ‘presentism’ and is this a problem?
• Which political or socio-cultural circumstances are detrimental to the production of a responsible/responsibilizing history?
• How do the issues of historical responsibility and responsible history figure in post- and de-colonial approaches to history?
Other Topics
The main focus of this conference is on history and responsibility. Yet, as was the case for the previous meetings of the INTH, we also welcome papers on other relevant topics in the fields of Theory of History and History of Historiography, including (but not limited to):
• Conceptual history
• Epistemics of history
• Experience/presence
• Hermeneutics
• Historical time
• History and mourning/trauma
• History as science (causation, explanation, lawfulness…)
• Narrativism
• Politics of history and memory
• Public/popular history
• Substantive/speculative philosophy of history
• The history of historiography
• Theory of history didactics
• The relations between history and other academic fields
• History outside academia
Practical information

“Once upon a time there was a revolution… in Portugal”:
Celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the Carnation Revolution (25th April 1974)
On the night of 24 April 1974, the “Capitães de Abril” initiated a coup underpinned by a simple programme – the “three Ds”: decolonize, democratize, and develop. Above all, they were driven by the desire to end a colonial war that had dragged on for fourteen years and could not be won militarily. It had isolated Portugal on the international stage, absorbing almost half the state budget, and driven young people into exile to avoid the draft. The regime fell the next day, amid an outbreak of popular joy. While the military called for calm and for people stay at home, the massive demonstrations of 1 May 1974 showed that the coup had turned into a revolution, first on democratic themes, then rapidly on social, even socialist themes.
The University of Rennes 2, with the support of the Camões Institute and the Mário Soares Chair (named in honour of its former professor and first honoris causa doctor) could not fail to commemorate this great event. In association with the journal Lusotopie and a range of institutional partners, it will host an international colloquium dedicated to the 25th April, from 30 May to 1 June 2024.
Call for papers
The 25th of April is a historical event with multiple meanings, that has given rise to scholarship from multiple fields. The colloquium will seek to reflect this multiplicity, bringing together papers that use different methodological approaches from a variety of disciplines. Four approaches will be privileged:
1 – THE INTERNATIONAL DIMENSION OF THE CARNATION REVOLUTION. The unique result of anti-colonial struggles in Africa combined with a growing weariness among the Portuguese with a regime that made less and less sense to younger generations, the Carnation Revolution had a considerable impact in many countries. Youth from across Western Europe went to Lisbon on “revolutionary tourism” to “see the revolution.” The 25th April also had an impact on communities and states linked with Portuguese history. Among many questions, the following can be asked: what were the Carnation Revolution’s repercussions and effects on the Portuguese communities that had emigrated to Western Europe, Canada, the United States, Brazil, and Venezuela, among other places? How did Eastern European countries initially react? How did countries that had come into conflict with colonial Portugal (such as India in 1961 during the seizure of Goa), or that supported the Portuguese anti-fascist and anti-colonialist resistance (such as Morocco and Algeria) experience the outbreak and development of the revolution? How did countries that supported the Portuguese colonial effort (such as Apartheid-era South Africa, South Rhodesia, or, in more complex ways, Brazil under the military, or Spain under late Francoism) react? And how did those who insisted on negotiations (such as Senghor’s Senegal) react?
2 – THE NATIONAL DIMENSION OF THE CARNATION REVOLUTION. Thinking about the 25th of April as a national fact, as a nation that speaks to itself, is so central that most of the time it is not done. The nation, largely identified with a “one nation, from Minho to Timor” Salazarist discourse and an exaltation of “Portugueseness,” had bad press in the spring of 1974, discredited by nearly half a century of dictatorship and the colonial wars. Europe then quickly appeared as a convenient substitute, under the slogan “The empire is dead, long live Europe!” Fifty years on, we can question the interactions between 25th of April and the Portuguese nation, and do so from a political and ideological angle, analysing the end of “a certain idea of Portugal” and the “historical moment when the people became the People” (Pascal Ory, Qu’est-ce qu’une nation?, Paris, Gallimard, 2020). Did 25th April profoundly change the image the Portuguese – at least subsequent generations – have of their own nation? Has Europe erased a certain nostalgia for the Empire? What challenges has Europe, with its vast size and population, brought to a country that is once again a “little metropolitan rectangle”? Has the extraordinary modernization of the country weakened attachment to the motherland?
3 –A PROCESS WITH MULTIPLE AGENTS. A decade after the 25th of April, new perspectives emerged that contributed to changing the dominant prism through which the revolution was viewed as an overthrow of the dictatorship exclusively enacted “top down” by military or political elites. Scholarship analysed the revolution from the point of view of the social forces involved, especially agrarian and urban conflicts. Various works helped to place the Portuguese case at the centre of international debates on democratization. More studies looked at the role of various oppositions in eroding the New State in its final phase. The “Revolutionary process under way” (PREC) began to be seen as part of a broader cycle of protest, which ran through universities, factories, the countryside, and the arts, helping to create the social, cultural, and political environment from which the MFA and its programme emerged. How did these dynamics influence the memory, identity, organization, and repertoire of action of Portuguese social movements in subsequent years, as well as their relationship with other political and social actors (institutional or otherwise)? What was the impact of the PREC social movements on the construction of collective memory in Portugal (about the colonial past, the dictatorship, and the revolution itself)? What legacies did these movements leave on the organization and perception of space in Portugal, for example in relation to the city and urban planning, or to housing, environmental and land rights?
4 – THE 25TH APRIL, BETWEEN MEMORY AND HISTORY. The politically marked character of the memory of the 25th of April is an aspect of the revolution’s national dimension mentioned above. An outside gaze, less attentive to recent Portuguese history, may be unaware of the political and ideological rifts that the memory of the events of 1974 and 1975 has nurtured in Portugal to this day, prolonging the cleavages of the time. The fact that most Portuguese citizens were now born after 1974 does not necessarily erase them, since the memory of the revolution, whatever it means, is the object of intergenerational transmission. The way the date has been commemorated for the last fifty years, changing with the political colours of the governments and the social aspirations of each period, also allows us to illustrate this phenomenon. There are clearly methodological and ethical questions on the relationship between history and memory to be posed here. Are there signs that, fifty years on, 25th April is finally entering history? Or, is the question misplaced? Have historians begun to be more attentive to the legitimate social demands for other ways of dealing with the
past? If so, what is the impact of current post-colonial questioning on the memory of the event and on the way of writing its history?
Proposals, which may be submitted individually or in the form of a workshop (max. five speakers), must be between 3,000 and 3,500 characters long (including spaces) and be written in one of the three languages of the conference (French, Portuguese or English). They must be sent before 15 December 2023 to the conference e-mail address: colloque25avrilrennes@gmail.com.
Responses to proposals will be given by 31 January 2024. Candidates whose proposals are accepted will be invited to seek funding from their home institutions for travel and accommodation expenses in Rennes. The Colloquium organisers will be able to cover part of these expenses, within the limits of the available budget.

Event Details
Workshop that seeks to open a debate on bridges connecting research focused on the Middle Passage and the one focused on mines, plantations, urban jobs, etc. Deadline: 31 January 2024.
The gains of their sorrow:
Slavery, the slave trade, and the rise of capitalism in the other South
The slave trade and slavery have regained considerable attention in the last decades. Thanks to a booming and remarkable research agenda, plenty of knowledge is now available on how the Atlantic slave trade was organized and profits obtained from the use of enslaved people across the Americas. No matter the impressive advances recently made, a gulf still separates those scholars who focus on the Middle Passage and those who instead place their attention on mines, plantations, urban jobs, and other economic sectors in which enslaved people were compelled to work.
This disconnection makes it hard to determine how to accurately appraise and measure the gains that were obtained throughout the whole business cycle: from the very moment in which Africans were put into captivity, the Atlantic and inter-colonial circulation of humans in shackles, and ultimately, the extraction of labor in the American lands, not to mention the reproduction of humans in captivity.
This workshop seeks to open a debate on prospective bridges that might help us to connect both fields of research. The workshop further delves into this issue from an Iberian perspective that might serve to further reread Anglo- and American-centric approaches to slavery and the slave trade. It also aims at contrasting the Luso-Brazilian and Spanish imperial participation with the experiences conducted by other imperial powers in an attempt to find resemblances and differences. Papers are therefore welcomed on the British, Dutch, and French cases.
Invited speakers:
David Wheat (Michigan State University)
Nicholas Radburn (Landcaster University)
Pepjin Brandon (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam)
Organization: Jesus Bohorquez (IHC — NOVA FCSH / IN2PAST)
Call for papers
Proposals are invited for papers that address the following issues:
- The organization of the slave trade, and in particular, microhistories of agents who invested their capital in the different stages of the traffic (Peninsular-, African-, or American-based). Studies are particularly welcomed on those women who participated in the traffic and profited from enslaved labor. How can we compare these microhistories in order to offer a larger perspective?
- The global and local circulation of textiles, metals, luxury goods or any other commodities purchased with the goal to barter humans.
- Accounting history: how companies, firms, and traders kept ledgers.
- Credit advanced in Europe, Africa and the colonies, as well as oceanic and intracolonial circuits of credit along with the mercantile institutions that supported those chains of debt.
- The participation of foreign actors and foreign capital invested in Spanish and Portuguese trading circuits.
- The numbers of enslaved humans held in captivity in different economic sectors.
- Stories of reinvestments: how money received from the slave trade and the use of captives was put back into the same investment or another investment.
- The slave trade, slavery, and bankruptcies.
Please, send a short CV along with a one-page abstract to jesusbarrera@fcsh.unl.pt with CC to jesus.bohorquez@eui.eu by 31 January 2024. We prefer papers that expand on new unearthed sources or data or which explore new ways to read old datasets.
Accommodation will be provided for early career scholars or PhD researchers.
Papers in English are expected to circulate by 15 May 2024.
Language arrangements can be made for those who prefer to present in Portuguese or Spanish.

Sindicalismo, Trabalho e Cidadania:
90 Anos Depois do 18 de Janeiro de 1934
Com evocação do movimento do 18 de Janeiro de 1934, a tentativa de greve geral revolucionária que procurou travar o Estado Novo, e no ano em que se celebram 50 anos depois da Revolução de Abril, sociólogos e historiadores de diversas instituições académicas portuguesas organizam um colóquio multidisciplinar para debater as mudanças no sindicalismo, no trabalho e na cidadania ao longo de todo este período.
Um passo decisivo para a edificação do Estado Novo, como prosseguimento da situação que vinha a ser imposta pelo Exército e outras forças conservadoras desde o golpe de Estado de 28 de Maio de 1926, foi a corporativização obrigatória dos sindicatos. Nestas circunstâncias, apesar das suas notórias divergências políticas e ideológicas, o movimento operário envolveu-se num combate frontal e decisivo contra o regime.
Em Os Sindicatos contra Salazar – A revolta do 18 de janeiro de 1934, publicado pela Imprensa de Ciências Sociais em 2000, Fátima Patriarca descreveu e analisou as circunstâncias, os factos e as consequências desta greve geral revolucionária, desencadeada por uma frente sindical envolvendo a Confederação Geral do Trabalho-CGT (de orientação sindicalista-revolucionária), a Comissão Intersindical (CIS, controlada pelos comunistas), a Federação das Associações Operárias (FAO, animada por socialistas), a Federação dos Transportes (unitária) e a Comissão das Organizações Sindicais Autónomas. Nesta acção, a coligação sindical propunha-se, não apenas preservar a liberdade de criação, organização e acção das associações sindicais dos trabalhadores assalariados, mas igualmente contestar as restrições à liberdade que a Ditadura, e concretamente o Estado Novo, queriam impor aos cidadãos portugueses. Aquele entendimento foi estendido também às formações político-partidárias existentes para, em caso de sucesso, colaborarem no objectivo de retorno às liberdades que haviam sido proclamadas pelo regime Republicano.
Chamada para comunicações
A greve geral revolucionária foi objecto de algumas mitificações e controvérsias historiográficas. Tendo em memória esta acção conjunta, também de natureza política, do movimento sindical, apesar do contexto adverso e da sua heterogeneidade, considera-se pertinente e oportuno a realização de um debate alargado sobre o sindicalismo e o mundo do trabalho. Esta será, pois, uma oportunidade, não apenas para revisitar as oposições dos movimentos operários ao capitalismo e aos regimes autoritários de entre-guerras, como para reflectir sobre a conjuntura e formas históricas de transição do sindicalismo revolucionário para um sindicalismo reformista ou de progresso, até à sua plena institucionalização no quadro do regime democrático, em que assume o papel de parceiro social, e às dificuldades agora observadas.
RACIONAL
Os sindicatos não foram e não são o único modelo, a única forma de representação dos interesses dos trabalhadores. É por isso pertinente reflectir sobre o lugar do sindicalismo nas manifestações históricas do associativismo e da intervenção cidadã; sobre o processo de institucionalização do sindicalismo, os discursos, os repertórios de acção concorrentes e/ou complementares entre os vários tipos/modelos de associativismo; as relações com o Estado dos diferentes tipos de associações, sindicais incluídas, e do Estado com os diferentes tipos de associações (favorecendo umas em detrimento de outras) na longa duração – bem como os modelos de cidadania que em cada caso estão subjacentes.
Aceita-se a apresentação de propostas de comunicações de ordem teórica e/ou empírica nas seguintes quatro áreas temáticas:
1. Desabrochar do sindicalismo operário
Seu crescimento nos países em vias de industrialização, num contexto de exclusões sociais e com um universo eleitoral muito restrito, liberalismo económico, exploração colonial e confrontos entre as potências europeias. Resistência das comunidades de ofício à moderna racionalização do trabalho e dificuldades de penetração do sindicalismo nos territórios colonizados. A greve geral e o sindicalismo revolucionário, negando o papel dos partidos e das estratégias eleitorais; a sua impotência perante a tragédia da guerra em 1914; as divisões geradas pela Revolução Russa (até anos 1920).
2. Movimento Operário
O movimento operário face à primeira grande crise geral da economia capitalista. Os diversos modos como os sindicatos de trabalhadores enfrentaram as novas soluções políticas autoritárias e os regimes nazi-fascistas: a greve geral do 18 de Janeiro de 1934 em Portugal; a tomada das armas e a guerra civil em Espanha; a reunificação sindical em França; um novo sindicalismo industrial nos Estados Unidos; e as resistências políticas frentistas (com sindicatos e partidos juntos) em diversos outros países (anos 1930/40).
3. Pactos Sociais para a Prosperidade
Os pactos sociais para a prosperidade no pós-guerra: crescimento económico com base no consumo interno e num quase pleno-emprego; organização industrial “fordista”, contratação colectiva de trabalho, os sindicatos como “parceiros sociais” e o relançamento da OIT; o Estado Social e uma nova dimensão da cidadania. Os trabalhadores e os sindicatos nas “democratizações tardias”, em Portugal, Espanha ou Brasil; e o seu afastamento dos processos de descolonização, num quadro de “guerra fria” (anos 1950/70).
4. Desregulamentação dos mercados laborais
A economia globalizada, com empresas multinacionais, liberalização financeira e inovadoras tecnologias de informação, automação e robotização. Tomada de consciência da depredação ambiental. A desregulamentação dos mercados laborais perante fenómenos como a qualificação/desqualificação do trabalho, a sua “precarização”, a entrada crescente das mulheres na actividade económica e das jovens no ensino superior, as migrações, qualificadas e não-qualificadas, etc. A crise do sindicalismo e as novas atitudes e movimentos sociais (nas últimas décadas).

Congress on the practice of commoning throughout history with the primary objective to present innovative research informed by critical interculturality. Deadline: 15 December 2023
Commoning:
Common Resources, Associationism and Networks of Reciprocity throughout History
The resistance to poverty and inequalities manifests in various social practices that can be understood under the broad concept of Commoning. These practices, which include the use of common resources, associationism, and informal networks of cooperation and reciprocity, demonstrate versatility and resilience as they adapt to different societies, cultures, and historical contexts. While they are recognized as counter-hegemonic models that promote alternative relationships between economy, society, and nature, further knowledge is required to understand the historical evolution of this collective action repertoire.
The primary objective of the international congress on the practice of commoning throughout history is to present innovative research informed by critical interculturality. The congress aims to foster dialogue between the global North and South, valuing both theoretical insights and practical experiences. By focusing on diverse cultural contexts, the congress seeks to bring together researchers and activists to explore commonalities and specificities of these social practices. Additionally, the congress intends to reflect on significant topics such as social class, gender, ethnicity, and assess the impacts of capitalism’s expansion, state and coloniality, diaspora, and the development agenda from a diachronic perspective.
Call for papers
>> Download the call for papers (PDF) <<
We encourage the submission of case studies on commons, cooperatives, mutuals, associations, and informal cooperation and reciprocity schemes. Additionally, we welcome comparative and entangled analyses that shed light on the multifaceted history of commoning practices.
Proposals in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French are accepted. Selected papers from the congress will be considered for publication in an open-access, peer-reviewed electronic book.
You can submit a proposal via this form.

Colloquium that aims to reflect on the multiple meanings of the 25th of April 1974, thus enriching the historical understanding of the events in its multiplicity. Deadline: 15 December 2023
“Once upon a time there was a revolution… in Portugal”:
Celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the Carnation Revolution (25th April 1974)
On the night of 24 April 1974, the “Capitães de Abril” initiated a coup underpinned by a simple programme – the “three Ds”: decolonize, democratize, and develop. Above all, they were driven by the desire to end a colonial war that had dragged on for fourteen years and could not be won militarily. It had isolated Portugal on the international stage, absorbing almost half the state budget, and driven young people into exile to avoid the draft. The regime fell the next day, amid an outbreak of popular joy. While the military called for calm and for people stay at home, the massive demonstrations of 1 May 1974 showed that the coup had turned into a revolution, first on democratic themes, then rapidly on social, even socialist themes.
The University of Rennes 2, with the support of the Camões Institute and the Mário Soares Chair (named in honour of its former professor and first honoris causa doctor) could not fail to commemorate this great event. In association with the journal Lusotopie and a range of institutional partners, it will host an international colloquium dedicated to the 25th April, from 30 May to 1 June 2024.
Call for papers
The 25th of April is a historical event with multiple meanings, that has given rise to scholarship from multiple fields. The colloquium will seek to reflect this multiplicity, bringing together papers that use different methodological approaches from a variety of disciplines. Four approaches will be privileged:
1 – THE INTERNATIONAL DIMENSION OF THE CARNATION REVOLUTION. The unique result of anti-colonial struggles in Africa combined with a growing weariness among the Portuguese with a regime that made less and less sense to younger generations, the Carnation Revolution had a considerable impact in many countries. Youth from across Western Europe went to Lisbon on “revolutionary tourism” to “see the revolution.” The 25th April also had an impact on communities and states linked with Portuguese history. Among many questions, the following can be asked: what were the Carnation Revolution’s repercussions and effects on the Portuguese communities that had emigrated to Western Europe, Canada, the United States, Brazil, and Venezuela, among other places? How did Eastern European countries initially react? How did countries that had come into conflict with colonial Portugal (such as India in 1961 during the seizure of Goa), or that supported the Portuguese anti-fascist and anti-colonialist resistance (such as Morocco and Algeria) experience the outbreak and development of the revolution? How did countries that supported the Portuguese colonial effort (such as Apartheid-era South Africa, South Rhodesia, or, in more complex ways, Brazil under the military, or Spain under late Francoism) react? And how did those who insisted on negotiations (such as Senghor’s Senegal) react?
2 – THE NATIONAL DIMENSION OF THE CARNATION REVOLUTION. Thinking about the 25th of April as a national fact, as a nation that speaks to itself, is so central that most of the time it is not done. The nation, largely identified with a “one nation, from Minho to Timor” Salazarist discourse and an exaltation of “Portugueseness,” had bad press in the spring of 1974, discredited by nearly half a century of dictatorship and the colonial wars. Europe then quickly appeared as a convenient substitute, under the slogan “The empire is dead, long live Europe!” Fifty years on, we can question the interactions between 25th of April and the Portuguese nation, and do so from a political and ideological angle, analysing the end of “a certain idea of Portugal” and the “historical moment when the people became the People” (Pascal Ory, Qu’est-ce qu’une nation?, Paris, Gallimard, 2020). Did 25th April profoundly change the image the Portuguese – at least subsequent generations – have of their own nation? Has Europe erased a certain nostalgia for the Empire? What challenges has Europe, with its vast size and population, brought to a country that is once again a “little metropolitan rectangle”? Has the extraordinary modernization of the country weakened attachment to the motherland?
3 –A PROCESS WITH MULTIPLE AGENTS. A decade after the 25th of April, new perspectives emerged that contributed to changing the dominant prism through which the revolution was viewed as an overthrow of the dictatorship exclusively enacted “top down” by military or political elites. Scholarship analysed the revolution from the point of view of the social forces involved, especially agrarian and urban conflicts. Various works helped to place the Portuguese case at the centre of international debates on democratization. More studies looked at the role of various oppositions in eroding the New State in its final phase. The “Revolutionary process under way” (PREC) began to be seen as part of a broader cycle of protest, which ran through universities, factories, the countryside, and the arts, helping to create the social, cultural, and political environment from which the MFA and its programme emerged. How did these dynamics influence the memory, identity, organization, and repertoire of action of Portuguese social movements in subsequent years, as well as their relationship with other political and social actors (institutional or otherwise)? What was the impact of the PREC social movements on the construction of collective memory in Portugal (about the colonial past, the dictatorship, and the revolution itself)? What legacies did these movements leave on the organization and perception of space in Portugal, for example in relation to the city and urban planning, or to housing, environmental and land rights?
4 – THE 25TH APRIL, BETWEEN MEMORY AND HISTORY. The politically marked character of the memory of the 25th of April is an aspect of the revolution’s national dimension mentioned above. An outside gaze, less attentive to recent Portuguese history, may be unaware of the political and ideological rifts that the memory of the events of 1974 and 1975 has nurtured in Portugal to this day, prolonging the cleavages of the time. The fact that most Portuguese citizens were now born after 1974 does not necessarily erase them, since the memory of the revolution, whatever it means, is the object of intergenerational transmission. The way the date has been commemorated for the last fifty years, changing with the political colours of the governments and the social aspirations of each period, also allows us to illustrate this phenomenon. There are clearly methodological and ethical questions on the relationship between history and memory to be posed here. Are there signs that, fifty years on, 25th April is finally entering history? Or, is the question misplaced? Have historians begun to be more attentive to the legitimate social demands for other ways of dealing with the
past? If so, what is the impact of current post-colonial questioning on the memory of the event and on the way of writing its history?
Proposals, which may be submitted individually or in the form of a workshop (max. five speakers), must be between 3,000 and 3,500 characters long (including spaces) and be written in one of the three languages of the conference (French, Portuguese or English). They must be sent before 15 December 2023 to the conference e-mail address: colloque25avrilrennes@gmail.com.
Responses to proposals will be given by 31 January 2024. Candidates whose proposals are accepted will be invited to seek funding from their home institutions for travel and accommodation expenses in Rennes. The Colloquium organisers will be able to cover part of these expenses, within the limits of the available budget.

There are clearly methodological and ethical questions on the relationship between history and memory to be posed here. Are there signs that, fifty years on, 25th April is finally entering history? Or, is the question misplaced? Have historians begun to be more attentive to the legitimate social demands for other ways of dealing with the
past? If so, what is the impact of current post-colonial questioning on the memory of the event and on the way of writing its history?
Proposals, which may be submitted individually or in the form of a workshop (max. five speakers), must be between 3,000 and 3,500 characters long (including spaces) and be written in one of the three languages of the conference (French, Portuguese or English). They must be sent before 15 December 2023 to the conference e-mail address: colloque25avrilrennes@gmail.com.
Responses to proposals will be given by 31 January 2024. Candidates whose proposals are accepted will be invited to seek funding from their home institutions for travel and accommodation expenses in Rennes. The Colloquium organisers will be able to cover part of these expenses, within the limits of the available budget.

Workshop that seeks to open a debate on bridges connecting research focused on the Middle Passage and the one focused on mines, plantations, urban jobs, etc. Deadline: 31 January 2024.
The gains of their sorrow:
Slavery, the slave trade, and the rise of capitalism in the other South
The slave trade and slavery have regained considerable attention in the last decades. Thanks to a booming and remarkable research agenda, plenty of knowledge is now available on how the Atlantic slave trade was organized and profits obtained from the use of enslaved people across the Americas. No matter the impressive advances recently made, a gulf still separates those scholars who focus on the Middle Passage and those who instead place their attention on mines, plantations, urban jobs, and other economic sectors in which enslaved people were compelled to work.
This disconnection makes it hard to determine how to accurately appraise and measure the gains that were obtained throughout the whole business cycle: from the very moment in which Africans were put into captivity, the Atlantic and inter-colonial circulation of humans in shackles, and ultimately, the extraction of labor in the American lands, not to mention the reproduction of humans in captivity.
This workshop seeks to open a debate on prospective bridges that might help us to connect both fields of research. The workshop further delves into this issue from an Iberian perspective that might serve to further reread Anglo- and American-centric approaches to slavery and the slave trade. It also aims at contrasting the Luso-Brazilian and Spanish imperial participation with the experiences conducted by other imperial powers in an attempt to find resemblances and differences. Papers are therefore welcomed on the British, Dutch, and French cases.
Invited speakers:
David Wheat (Michigan State University)
Nicholas Radburn (Landcaster University)
Pepjin Brandon (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam)
Organization: Jesus Bohorquez (IHC — NOVA FCSH / IN2PAST)
Call for papers
Proposals are invited for papers that address the following issues:
- The organization of the slave trade, and in particular, microhistories of agents who invested their capital in the different stages of the traffic (Peninsular-, African-, or American-based). Studies are particularly welcomed on those women who participated in the traffic and profited from enslaved labor. How can we compare these microhistories in order to offer a larger perspective?
- The global and local circulation of textiles, metals, luxury goods or any other commodities purchased with the goal to barter humans.
- Accounting history: how companies, firms, and traders kept ledgers.
- Credit advanced in Europe, Africa and the colonies, as well as oceanic and intracolonial circuits of credit along with the mercantile institutions that supported those chains of debt.
- The participation of foreign actors and foreign capital invested in Spanish and Portuguese trading circuits.
- The numbers of enslaved humans held in captivity in different economic sectors.
- Stories of reinvestments: how money received from the slave trade and the use of captives was put back into the same investment or another investment.
- The slave trade, slavery, and bankruptcies.
Please, send a short CV along with a one-page abstract to jesusbarrera@fcsh.unl.pt with CC to jesus.bohorquez@eui.eu by 31 January 2024. We prefer papers that expand on new unearthed sources or data or which explore new ways to read old datasets.
Accommodation will be provided for early career scholars or PhD researchers.
Papers in English are expected to circulate by 15 May 2024.
Language arrangements can be made for those who prefer to present in Portuguese or Spanish.

The aim of this multidisciplinary colloquium is to debate the changes in trade unionism, work and citizenship following the movement of 18 January 1934. Deadline: 15 December 2023.
Sindicalismo, Trabalho e Cidadania:
90 Anos Depois do 18 de Janeiro de 1934
Com evocação do movimento do 18 de Janeiro de 1934, a tentativa de greve geral revolucionária que procurou travar o Estado Novo, e no ano em que se celebram 50 anos depois da Revolução de Abril, sociólogos e historiadores de diversas instituições académicas portuguesas organizam um colóquio multidisciplinar para debater as mudanças no sindicalismo, no trabalho e na cidadania ao longo de todo este período.
Um passo decisivo para a edificação do Estado Novo, como prosseguimento da situação que vinha a ser imposta pelo Exército e outras forças conservadoras desde o golpe de Estado de 28 de Maio de 1926, foi a corporativização obrigatória dos sindicatos. Nestas circunstâncias, apesar das suas notórias divergências políticas e ideológicas, o movimento operário envolveu-se num combate frontal e decisivo contra o regime.
Em Os Sindicatos contra Salazar – A revolta do 18 de janeiro de 1934, publicado pela Imprensa de Ciências Sociais em 2000, Fátima Patriarca descreveu e analisou as circunstâncias, os factos e as consequências desta greve geral revolucionária, desencadeada por uma frente sindical envolvendo a Confederação Geral do Trabalho-CGT (de orientação sindicalista-revolucionária), a Comissão Intersindical (CIS, controlada pelos comunistas), a Federação das Associações Operárias (FAO, animada por socialistas), a Federação dos Transportes (unitária) e a Comissão das Organizações Sindicais Autónomas. Nesta acção, a coligação sindical propunha-se, não apenas preservar a liberdade de criação, organização e acção das associações sindicais dos trabalhadores assalariados, mas igualmente contestar as restrições à liberdade que a Ditadura, e concretamente o Estado Novo, queriam impor aos cidadãos portugueses. Aquele entendimento foi estendido também às formações político-partidárias existentes para, em caso de sucesso, colaborarem no objectivo de retorno às liberdades que haviam sido proclamadas pelo regime Republicano.
Chamada para comunicações
A greve geral revolucionária foi objecto de algumas mitificações e controvérsias historiográficas. Tendo em memória esta acção conjunta, também de natureza política, do movimento sindical, apesar do contexto adverso e da sua heterogeneidade, considera-se pertinente e oportuno a realização de um debate alargado sobre o sindicalismo e o mundo do trabalho. Esta será, pois, uma oportunidade, não apenas para revisitar as oposições dos movimentos operários ao capitalismo e aos regimes autoritários de entre-guerras, como para reflectir sobre a conjuntura e formas históricas de transição do sindicalismo revolucionário para um sindicalismo reformista ou de progresso, até à sua plena institucionalização no quadro do regime democrático, em que assume o papel de parceiro social, e às dificuldades agora observadas.
RACIONAL
Os sindicatos não foram e não são o único modelo, a única forma de representação dos interesses dos trabalhadores. É por isso pertinente reflectir sobre o lugar do sindicalismo nas manifestações históricas do associativismo e da intervenção cidadã; sobre o processo de institucionalização do sindicalismo, os discursos, os repertórios de acção concorrentes e/ou complementares entre os vários tipos/modelos de associativismo; as relações com o Estado dos diferentes tipos de associações, sindicais incluídas, e do Estado com os diferentes tipos de associações (favorecendo umas em detrimento de outras) na longa duração – bem como os modelos de cidadania que em cada caso estão subjacentes.
Aceita-se a apresentação de propostas de comunicações de ordem teórica e/ou empírica nas seguintes quatro áreas temáticas:
1. Desabrochar do sindicalismo operário
Seu crescimento nos países em vias de industrialização, num contexto de exclusões sociais e com um universo eleitoral muito restrito, liberalismo económico, exploração colonial e confrontos entre as potências europeias. Resistência das comunidades de ofício à moderna racionalização do trabalho e dificuldades de penetração do sindicalismo nos territórios colonizados. A greve geral e o sindicalismo revolucionário, negando o papel dos partidos e das estratégias eleitorais; a sua impotência perante a tragédia da guerra em 1914; as divisões geradas pela Revolução Russa (até anos 1920).
2. Movimento Operário
O movimento operário face à primeira grande crise geral da economia capitalista. Os diversos modos como os sindicatos de trabalhadores enfrentaram as novas soluções políticas autoritárias e os regimes nazi-fascistas: a greve geral do 18 de Janeiro de 1934 em Portugal; a tomada das armas e a guerra civil em Espanha; a reunificação sindical em França; um novo sindicalismo industrial nos Estados Unidos; e as resistências políticas frentistas (com sindicatos e partidos juntos) em diversos outros países (anos 1930/40).
3. Pactos Sociais para a Prosperidade
Os pactos sociais para a prosperidade no pós-guerra: crescimento económico com base no consumo interno e num quase pleno-emprego; organização industrial “fordista”, contratação colectiva de trabalho, os sindicatos como “parceiros sociais” e o relançamento da OIT; o Estado Social e uma nova dimensão da cidadania. Os trabalhadores e os sindicatos nas “democratizações tardias”, em Portugal, Espanha ou Brasil; e o seu afastamento dos processos de descolonização, num quadro de “guerra fria” (anos 1950/70).
4. Desregulamentação dos mercados laborais
A economia globalizada, com empresas multinacionais, liberalização financeira e inovadoras tecnologias de informação, automação e robotização. Tomada de consciência da depredação ambiental. A desregulamentação dos mercados laborais perante fenómenos como a qualificação/desqualificação do trabalho, a sua “precarização”, a entrada crescente das mulheres na actividade económica e das jovens no ensino superior, as migrações, qualificadas e não-qualificadas, etc. A crise do sindicalismo e as novas atitudes e movimentos sociais (nas últimas décadas).
ORGANIZAÇÃO
O Colóquio terá lugar no Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa e no Iscte-Instituto Universitário de Lisboa e é também patrocinado pelo CIES-Iscte, CHUL/FL-UL, CICL-UÉvora, SOCIUS/CSG-ISEG-ULisboa e IHC — NOVA FCSH.

Minas, tecnologias e educação: convergências
10ª Jornada Interdisciplinar na Mina de São Domingos
O Instituto de História Contemporânea, através do grupo de investigação em História da Ciência, da Tecnologia e do Ambiente promove, no dia 4 de Dezembro de 2023, a 10.ª Jornada Interdisciplinar na Mina de São Domingos – Minas, tecnologias e educação: convergências. O evento decorrerá de forma presencial na Mina de São Domingos.
A Jornada Interdisciplinar é dedicada à história da Mina de São Domingos, dando ênfase às interligações entre ciência, tecnologia, sociedade e ambiente, e a sua aplicação num contexto educativo/museológico.
O enquadramento do tema (e das comunicações) é o seguinte:
Durante cerca de um século, uma povoação originada pela exploração mineira vivenciou de forma diferenciada o encontro de culturas de dois países – Portugal e Inglaterra – e os avanços tecnológicos da época, que foram aplicados nas infraestruturas e na própria extração e processamento das pirites: a Mina de São Domingos. Com o fim da exploração mineira, ficaram a nu, um passivo ambiental, cuja resolução constitui um desafio atual, e um património diversificado, que importa preservar. É sobre a história desta povoação mineira em particular, entre outras situadas ao longo da Faixa Piritosa Ibérica, que se pretende cruzar as visões de especialistas em áreas como a antropologia, a arqueologia, a biologia, a geologia, a história, a história da ciência, a química, a sociologia e o urbanismo, com ênfase para um debate centrado nas questões científicas, tecnológicas e ambientais, um contributo disponível para todos os que se interessam pelo tema e que pensamos de especial utilidade para profissionais de ensino e dos serviços educativos, na sua atuação com as comunidades.
As inscrições são gratuitas e devem ser feitas até 30 de Novembro para o email fserraomartins@gmail.com ou via telefone 286 647 534.

Para Que Serve o PCP? Os Anos da Fundação
O PCP nasceu em 1921 e sofreu sucessivas crises internas durante o complexo processo de fundação e de reconhecimento como destacamento nacional do movimento comunista. Ao longo destes mais de 100 anos, resistiu à ditadura do Estado Novo e à reversão do processo revolucionário de 1974, aguentou o impacto da queda do muro de Berlim e a vaga de dissensões internas, enfrentou a implosão da União Soviética e, desde 2022, interpreta a guerra da Rússia contra a Ucrânia no quadro emocional e geográfico da antiga pátria do socialismo. Como é que o PCP sobrevive a tudo isto?
Apesar de todos os abalos que continua a sofrer um pouco por todo o mundo, só o tempo dirá se o presente refluxo dos sistemas socialistas corresponde a uma dinâmica da extinção da própria ideia ou se as desigualdades e as crises do sistema capitalista continuarão como penhor de sobrevivência do marxismo-leninismo.

Joint Workshop – Interpretações do Brasil
O Programa de Pós-graduação em Ciências Sociais da Universidade Estadual de Maringá, o Programa de Pós-graduação em Sociologia da Universidade Federal do Piauí e o Instituto de História Contemporânea da Universidade NOVA de Lisboa se reúnem para promover a segunda edição do Joint Workshop – Interpretações do Brasil – uma iniciativa que pretende debater a história da produção do conhecimento do e sobre o Brasil a partir de múltiplas perspectivas.
Nesta nova edição, participantes de diversas instituições brasileiras e portuguesas discutem o tema “Visões Não-Canónicas do Brasil“, destacando o pensamento de intelectuais “marginais” sobre o país e interpretações esquecidas ou apagadas da história. Como uma ideia ou teoria é superada e deixa de ter importância no pensamento social? Como intelectuais, periódicos ou instituições periféricas se relacionam com as instâncias dominantes de produção do conhecimento? Como circulam as interpretações produzidas nas margens do sistema universitário ou do campo cultural? Que nuances as trajectórias de intelectuais periféricos trazem para a história do pensamento social brasileiro?
Essas e outras questões serão abordadas neste workshop, a ser realizado nos dias 6 e 7 de Dezembro, online, via Zoom.

Seminar organised as part of the TRANSMAT project on debates about cultural objects arising from colonial periods. With Lucas Lixinski.
Objectos Culturais Coloniais:
experiências europeias de conhecimento, retorno e reparações
Neste seminário, Lucas Lixinski focar-se-á nos debates actuais sobre objectos culturais com proveniência ligada a períodos coloniais. Usando uma diversidade de enquadramentos teóricos, mostrará as premissas e falhas de argumentos e discursos jurídicos sobre esses temas. A tese principal da palestra, que informa um livro que Lixinski está a terminar, é que qualquer discussão sobre o retorno desses objectos exige mais do que simples actos de retorno. Exigem-se medidas de produção de conhecimento histórico e debates vigorosos sobre o património cultural, não como uma relíquia estática do passado, mas como um vector de relações sociais e políticas sobre a sociedade que queremos para o futuro.
Sobre o orador:
Lucas Lixinski é professor na Faculdade de Direito e Justiça da Universidade de Nova Gales do Sul (Sydney, Austrália). É um especialista mundial em temas de direito do património cultural, tendo mais de 130 publicações científicas nessa área. Os seus trabalhos foram amplamente divulgados nas principais editoras e periódicos do mundo anglófono. O seu último livro foi publicado pela Cambridge University Press, em 2021, com o título Legalized Identities: Cultural Heritage Law and the Shaping of Transitional Justice. Foi Vice-presidente da Association of Critical Heritage Studies, e rapporteur do comité sobre participação na gestão global do património cultural da Association de Droit International.

Conference that intends to enable a set of dialogues between diverse mapping experiences of performing arts archives from the end of the 20th century.
Crossed Archives
The first International Conference of the project ARTHE – Archiving Theatre (PTDC/ART-PER/1651/2021) intends to enable a set of dialogues between diverse mapping experiences – regarding the location, identification, treatment, conservation and eventual public mediation – of performing arts archives from the end of the 20th century, with particular focus on its last 30 years. This is a time of great technical and aesthetic transformations in the scene, in the training and work of the performer, in “independent” work modalities without theatre managers, including the emergence of performative experiences: from performance art to physical theatre, poor theatre, intercultural theatre, visual theatre, as well as to dance theatre, new dance, contemporary dance, among others. This period also entails major changes in the technological means at hand – from photocopiers to the Ford Transit and the handheld video camera, from the prêt-à-porter to charter flights – with repercussions on the modes of production and associated materials, now manifest in the archives. In Portugal, the period at stake coincides, in a broad sense, with the stretch leading up to the 25th of April 1974 and its aftermath.
What can be encountered in these archives? To what particular type of knowledge do they provide access? What are the challenges brought about by the diverse materiality of their documents, to the very task of archiving and the idea of archiving? What do they tell us about their time and the way in which the performing arts inhabit and participate in it?
After a journey at the National Museum of Theatre and Dance in July 2023, in which the provisional – currently still under work – results of the mapping of the state of the archives of seventeen Portuguese theatre companies who agreed to join the project, were presented and discussed, this Conference with an international and comparative scope proposes a cross-approach of similar endeavours: from Chile to Brazil, from Italy to the United Kingdom. It is about sharing, reflecting on and considering ways of approaching (and possibly providing for the preservation) of the companies’ archives, particularly the ones of the period in case, closely related to the key terms “Independent Theatre” and “Decentralization” which are recurrent in the discourses of the time. It is about understanding the archive not only as a system of organization and as way of rethinking the past from a situated present, but also as a set of practices, decisions and concrete material procedures.
This encounter will gather researchers and artists such as keynote speakers Heike Roms, consultant of ARTHE – Archiving Theatre, organizer of the project ‘It was forty years ago today…’: Locating the Early History of Performance Art in Wales 1965-1979, and Elisabeth Azevedo, coordinator and researcher of the ‘Traje em Cena’ project, who organized the costume collection at the Theatro Municipal de São Paulo and the research project ‘Inventário da Cena Paulistana’.
The conference will also feature recent experiences in which the digital takes on a central expression regarding the ways of imagining, treating, and presenting the archive. This is the case of the European project (ERC) INCOMMON. In praise of community. Shared creativity in arts and politics in Italy (1959-1979) represented by Marco Baravalle. In addition to having inventoried the tense relationship between performing arts and politics in the Italy of the “anni di piombo”, the project proposes cartographies merging the protagonists with their existential and aesthetic experiences. Two projects from Chile are part of this same line of approach to archives of performing arts. If CATASTRO DE ARCHIVOS DE ARTES ESCÉNICAS, represented here by Pía Gutiérrez, professor at the School of Theatre at PUC in Chile and member of the ARDE project, is the international proposal that most resembles the kind of mapping carried out by ARTHE, the project ARDE – Archivos de Arte, represented by researcher Katharina Eitner, unfolds the notion of archive taking into account the specificity of each process of work; somewhat like INCOMMON, it documents current scenic practices whilst revisiting specific archives and mapping out cartographies.
Throughout the cross-presentation and critical discussion of the objectives, methodologies and results of each of these distinct projects coming from different contexts, we are looking for an approach to the situation of the archives of performing arts which considers their contribution to a better understanding of the tight implication of the arts with the societies they participate in. We also try to ponder on forms of better preserving them.
Call for communications
The conference proposes an open call for communications with focus on specific work with archives of the performing arts created in the last 30 years of the last century, which may help to problematize artistic, philosophical, technical, historiographical, sociological and political issues regarding both the practices of archiving and the archive as a problem, as well as the eventual production and transmission of knowledge stemming from archives and/or the cultural history of their times/temporalities of construction.
Archivists, researchers and artists are therefore invited to propose communications of around 15 minutes, which start from concrete work with archives in performing arts, focusing on, but not limited to, the following topics:
– archives at risk: what can be done?
– taking care of archives in performing arts: inventory, classification, cataloguing, indexing, digitization and rendering accessible
– mediations and remediations of the archive
– specific approaches to the materialities of the archive: paper documentation of various sorts, objects/props, equipment, audio-visuals, scenography set models, costumes and garments, etc.
– queer archives and the “queering” of the archive
– “minor” archives, “counter-archives”, “anarchives” and “archives of the common”
– interconnected archives: personal, institutional and other related collections
– archive-specific performativities: what archives to produce and what other performances do they enable?
– the digital and the archives: digitalization and born-digital documentation
– memories that unfold across archives
– ways to reactivate archives in performing arts

Detalhes do Evento
Seminar to present the results of the Associated Laboratory IN2PAST exploratory project coordinated by António Azevedo, from Lab2PT.
Paisagem, turismo e desenvolvimento local:
Os impactes de passadiços, miradouros e baloiços no interior de Portugal
Apresentação de António Azevedo (IR; Lab2PT — Universidade do Minho), Luís Silva (CRIA – NOVA FCSH), Francisco Freire (CRIA – NOVA FCSH) e Rute Matos (CHAIA – Universidade de Évora).
Nos últimos anos, temos assistido à instalação de passadiços, miradouros e baloiços um pouco por todo o território nacional, tendo em vista o aumento da atractividade turística dos seus locais de implantação e dos respectivos municípios. Os impactes locais, assim como o perfil dos utilizadores destes equipamentos, permanecem inexplorados na literatura académica. Este projecto exploratório visou colmatar esta lacuna de conhecimento, mediante o estudo das repercussões dessas construções em termos socio-económicos, ambientais, turísticos, culturais e paisagísticos a nível local, bem como do perfil socio-demográfico dos visitantes.

Olhar de Fora 2: Portugal por Olhares Estrangeiros
Colóquio Internacional
O Instituto de História Contemporânea da Universidade NOVA de Lisboa apresenta a segunda edição do colóquio Olhar de Fora. Partindo do princípio de que a vida e a obra de uma pessoa constituem um
todo articulado, a pergunta feita aos participantes foi: quais são os efeitos epistemológicos das suas próprias condições sociais sobre o conhecimento que vocês produzem? Ou seja, o que se pede é um exercício de auto-reflexão, focado nas relações entre elementos da vida pessoal de cada participante e os resultados das pesquisas realizadas. A unidade de saída, partilhada por todas as pessoas convidadas, é o facto de estudarem temas relacionados com Portugal e, ao mesmo tempo, não serem portuguesas.
A estrangeiridade em relação ao objecto de investigação, no entanto, é apenas o ponto de partida. Afinal, não necessariamente é este o factor social mais relevante nas trajectórias de cada pessoa quando elas pensam sobre a sua própria produção intelectual. Género, raça, religião, geração ou quaisquer outros elementos constitutivos das condições sociais específicas podem e devem ser mobilizados para responder à questão inicial.
O colóquio Olhar de Fora – Portugal por olhares estrangeiros, vai acontecer em duas mesas de debate, no dia 14 de Dezembro, via Zoom, às 14h e às 18h.
Sintam-se todas e todos convidados a participar.
