Wars, Violence, and Authoritarianism
How do the machinery of war and political violence relate to the production of power relations and subjectivity that we generally refer to as authoritarianism? Professors Charalambos Minasidis (University of Yale) and Fernando Jiménez Herrera (Complutense University of Madrid) will share their reflections on this question, based on meticulous archival work that positions them as two of the leading experts on the Greek and Spanish dictatorships of the 20th century.
The workshop is part of the STEXEU project, coordinated by Arturo Zoffmann Rodriguez.
Programme:
11h-13h: From Discrimination to Genocide: Minorities as the “Enemy Within” during the Ottoman Long War, with Charalambos Minasidis (University of Yale)
16h-18h: Chekas, la violencia revolucionaria en el relato franquista sobre la guerra civil española, 1936-1977, with Fernando Jiménez Herrera (Complutense University of Madrid)

Detalhes do Evento
Round table discussion on clandestine meetings that took place in Lisbon during the Estado Novo regime and the underground currents that ran through the city dominated by the regime’s dull character — part of the cycle Lisbon, Capital of International Intrigue.
Encontros clandestinos na capital da espionagem:
As relações luso-alemãs em Lisboa entre as décadas de 1940 e 1970
Que encontros clandestinos ocorreram em Lisboa, capital da espionagem entre a Segunda Guerra Mundial até aos tempos de Guerra Fria? Que correntes subterrâneas atravessaram a cidade dominada pelo carácter baço do regime de Salazar, em diferentes domínios?
É sobre estes temas, mais ou menos secretos, mais ou menos clandestinos ou subterrâneos, que nos propomos conversar na Biblioteca do Goethe Institut, no próximo dia 10 de Março, pelas 18h30, numa sessão conduzida por Manuela Ribeiro Sanches. Fernando Clara começará por nos falar das tempestades que assolaram Lisboa em Maio de 1945, bem como das missas que foram mandadas rezar pelas almas dos dois ditadores depostos, ao mesmo tempo que se celebrava a vitória dos Aliados. Vera San Payo de Lemos lembrará a censura do teatro de Brecht e o boom subsequente das suas peças nos palcos da capital da espionagem depois do 25 de Abril. Jürgen Bock evocará a visita à Caparica de Hubert Fichte na década de 1960, escritor a quem a partilha do mundo clandestino da homossexualidade permitiu um acesso único ao Portugal dessa época.
ENTRADA LIVRE
Esta conversa será complementada, às 21h30, na Cinemateca Portuguesa, com a exibição do mais antigo thriller alemão rodado em Lisboa, Der weiße Dämon (1932), junto com um breve documentário da altura sobre esta produção, intitulado A UFA em Lisboa, parte do ciclo de cinema Lisboa, Capital da Intriga Internacional.
