Excerpt of the Introduction:
My first encounter with Foteini Vlachou was marked by the qualities that I later found to be definitive of her approach to her life and work: bold intelligence, fearless self-confidence, independence of thought, and absolute commitment to the discipline of art history as a practice of theory that was, in its essence, a worldly, consequential — indeed, political — project. Later, I was to learn of her other great qualities, not least her openness to experience, her warm-hearted generosity, and her committed collegiality. […]
As this book demonstrates, Foteini Vlachou had been narrating the periphery for some time, and brilliantly so.
Terry Smith, from the introduction:
“Periphrasis: Provinces, Margins, Peripheries, Centres — Foteini Vlachou and the decentring of Art History”.

Histórias da PIDE
Quando o Salazar mandava. Volume 1
Em 1965, o General Humberto Delgado, inimigo público número 1 de Salazar, foi assassinado perto de Badajoz por uma brigada da PIDE. A chefiá‑la estava Rosa Casaco, que, fugido do país a seguir ao 25 de Abril de 1974, viria a ser condenado a oito anos de prisão e a tornar‑se, após uma entrevista incluída neste livro, um dos rostos mais emblemáticos desta força policial.
Sólido e temido bastião do Estado Novo, ninguém escapava ao raio de ação da PIDE: nem Calouste Gulbenkian, o homem mais rico do mundo, que foi preso em 1942; nem o ex‑Presidente da República Marechal Craveiro Lopes, vítima de chantagem de carácter sexual; nem sequer o bispo D. Eurico Dias Nogueira, submetido a constante vigilância, com cartas interceptadas até para o Vaticano e para o próprio Salazar.
Estas são algumas das Histórias da PIDE que José Pedro Castanheira investigou ao longo dos anos para o Expresso, todas reportando neste volume ao período de Salazar. O segundo volume incidirá sobre a época de Marcello Caetano.
