The project SMS — Shared Memories of Solidarity. An oral and visual history (Portugal 1960-1974), coordinated by Giulia Strippoli, was selected for funding by the FCT under the RESTART programme.
The main goal of the SMS is to ‘is to set out an oral and visual history of how the concept of solidarity informed the resistance to the Portuguese Estado Novo and beyond’. To this end, Giulia Strippoli will assess the perception and conceptualisation of understandings of solidarity, practices of solidarity, and shared memories of solidarity (the construction of a common memory).
Ultimately, the project aims to look at Portugal’s contemporary history from the perspective of solidarity, using oral history and the visual arts as sources. This will make it possible to ‘to connect the local sphere with the global context, individual stories with collective movements, the intimate and affective sphere with the political level and ideological framework, the micro-universe of subjectivity with the macro level of economic, political, and cultural changes’.
Giulia Strippoli was one of four Social Sciences and Humanities researchers whose projects were approved in the second edition of the RESTART programme. The aim of the programme is to promote ‘gender equality and opportunities through the competitive funding of individual R&D projects, in all scientific fields, when carried out by researchers who have recently taken parental leave, including adoption’.
