About the book:
Bioinvasions is a current top research subject for natural sciences, social sciences and humanities and a major concern for conservationists, land managers and planners. In the last decades, new findings, perspectives and practices have revealed the multifaceted challenges of preventing new introductions and dealing with those invasive species that harm natural ecosystems, economy and human welfare.
This book brings together environmental historians and natural scientists to share their studies and experiences on the human dimensions of biological invasions from the ancient past to the current challenges. The collection of papers focuses on the Mediterranean region and deals with aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems on the mainland and islands, ranging from marine and freshwater environments to coastal marshlands and forests. A wide diversity of animals and plants are featured, from marine fishes to marine and freshwater crustaceans, invertebrates, reptiles and amphibians, birds and mammals, to grasses, shrubs and trees. This book is a contribution to the scientific debate on how to deal with the historical dimensions of biological invasions, fostering dialogue between cultural and ecological explanations of environmental change, to inform environmental policy and management.
It has been organized in three sections: the first is the editors’ introduction, in which they review the existing literature and highlight relevant concepts and ideas; the second is about alien species in the Mediterranean region; the third includes cases from other Mediterranean-type regions.

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.
