António Hespanha (1945-2019)
Jul 2, 2019 | News
On behalf of the Institute of Contemporary History, we deeply regret the death of our colleague António Manuel Hespanha. Author of a notable work in the field of History – but also in Law – he was a professor in the Department of History of the NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities, where some of us had the privilege of having him as a teacher, and later a professor at the Law School of the same university.
We have had the pleasure and benefit of counting on the collaboration of Professor Hespanha in several initiatives developed by the IHC in recent years. He was a member of the Scientific Council of the journal “Práticas da História – Journal on Theory, Historiography and Uses of the Past“, for which he contributed in many ways, from writing peer-reviews to writing essays.

Fernando Pereira Marques‘ new book will be launched in Lisbon, at Buchholz bookshop, with presentations by Lídia Jorge and José Pacheco Pereira.
A Arte de Ser Português:
Uma aprendizagem durante o Estado Novo
Recuando à juventude e à idade mítico‑poética dos 20 anos, Fernando Pereira Marques conta, na primeira pessoa, a história de um «jeune homme seul» — como diria Roger Vailland — que serve também de testemunho e retrato de um país, de um tempo e de uma geração. A Arte de Ser Português é um livro que, sem ser um trabalho académico, foi moldado por uma rigorosa investigação autobiográfica e historiográfica, percorrendo tanto as memórias mais pessoais — os tempos de estudante, a partida de amigos para a guerra, os livros e a formação de uma consciência política, os laços criados na prisão — como outras que se ligam inevitavelmente ao património colectivo do país — a experiência da emigração, o Maio de 68, a tentativa de ocupação da Covilhã pela LUAR, a fuga de Palma Inácio (Maio de 1969), os métodos da PIDE e a reconstituição do dia‑a‑dia em Caxias e em Peniche. Apesar das ilusões perdidas, e sem se arrogar papel de vítima ou herói, o autor recorda aqui uma geração de homens e mulheres movida por ideais e por uma visão generosa do mundo que, apesar de tudo, continua fiel a esse querer.
