Article included in the thematic issue “1914/18 – revisited“, edited by Christa Hämmerle, Ingrid Sharp, and Heidrun Zettelbauer.
Studies on the First World War have been met with increasing popularity in Portugal, a phenomenon also occurring in other countries. During the last few years, several commemorative activities took place, ranging from exhibitions to conferences to publications. Despite such unprecedented enthusiasm, these events have been mainly male-focused, apart from a few exceptions. This article aims to identify how current studies within and beyond the academic community take into consideration gender perspectives when remembering the Great War in Portugal. It offers a short overview of commemorative events in Portugal that have included gender narratives and their limitations. What academic books and articles have been published? What exhibitions highlighted women’s participation in the First World War? Have the media been covering war and gender perspectives in particular? Despite a certain interest in the Great War’s centenary, the role of Portuguese women continues to be reduced to second rate. The article will give possible reasons for this scenario and discuss potential future developments.

Inhabiting Siza
Debate:
Inhabiting Siza and the geographies of Architecture, 5PM
Exposição:
Inhabiting Siza: architecture as seen by its residents, 7PM (10 September — 3 November)
The Inhabiting Siza research project, coordinated by Eduardo Ascensão (CEG-IGOT), Paulo Catrica (IHC — NOVA FCSH) and André Carmo (CICS.NOVA — University of Évora), culminates with the exhibition Inhabiting Siza: architecture as seen by its residents, as part of the Lisbon Architecture Triennale. The opening is scheduled for 7pm on 10 September.
The exhibition looks at the way residents of housing designed by Álvaro Siza experience, and interact with, their apartments’ spatial layout, the buildings’ public spaces and housing micro-technologies as well as their buildings’ social status as tourist attractions in their everyday life. It aims to cover the research gap on Siza’s architecture related to the lack of knowledge on residents’ reception and appropriation of his architecture. It is focussed on three sites situated across the social and wealth spectrum, from the low-income population for whom the Bouça estate in Porto was originally designed, to the low-to-middle income population of Malagueira in Évora, through to the very high-income population of Terraços de Bragança in Lisbon. The research used an ethnographic approach, with in-depth interviews, ethnographic ‘house visits’ and elicitation of ‘residents in action with his/her home’ through video and photography sessions.
Before the opening of the exhibition, at 5pm, there will be a debate — Inhabiting Siza and the geographies of Architecture. It will begin with interventions by Eduardo Ascensão (CEG-IGOT), Ana Catarina Costa (CEG-IGOT / FAUP), Ricardo Agarez (Iscte-IUL), and Loretta Lees (Boston University, via online). This will be followed by the lecture “Doing words with things: The politics and poetics of Elemental’s social housing schemes”, by Ignacio Farías (Humboldt University).

Cabral Ka Mori
Esta sessão de apresentação insere-se no ciclo “Amílcar Geração e Comemorações em Coimbra do Centenário de Amílcar Cabral”, que se prolonga até 13 de Setembro, e faz parte da oficina “Como manter Amílcar Cabral vivo“.
Sobre o livro:
Amílcar Cabral foi, por direito próprio, uma figura destacada do século XX. Ao longo das últimas décadas, o sentido da vida de Cabral foi alvo de inúmeras interpretações, de diversos usos e até de renovado interesse. A sua memória permanece viva no século XXI. «Amílcar Cabral, Uma Exposição» nasceu como mais um modo de usar este legado, com o Estado português a fazer dele um motivo de comemoração histórica, por ocasião dos 50 anos do 25 de Abril.
O livro‑catálogo que daí resulta, da autoria dos historiadores José Neves e Leonor Pires Martins, comissários da exposição, percorre 50 peças que nos levam a momentos e lugares da vida de Amílcar Cabral, mas também indiciam o tempo, o espaço e a experiência de quem o conheceu, vigiou, admirou, filmou, retratou ou cantou. O agrónomo e líder das lutas de libertação está omnipresente neste projecto que leva o seu nome, mas muitos momentos têm protagonistas próprios, da fotógrafa italiana Bruna Polimeni ao músico angolano David Zé, passando pelo líder cubano Fidel Castro, falando‑nos também de liberdade, luta anti-colonial e descolonização.
Inclui também textos de Alfredo Caldeira, Aurora Almada e Santos e Ricardo Santos & Miguel Fevereiro.
