Introduction:
A Paisagem apresenta-se como o cenário que herdámos, onde vivemos, e donde retiramos os recursos com que subsistimos enquanto civilização e espécie. O resultado da nossa atuação sobre este património será a herança que iremos deixar aos nossos descendentes.
No início do terceiro milénio, e numa sociedade submetida a mudanças culturais que decorrem a velocidades muito superiores às que o tempo de perceção, meditação, e experimentação necessitam, o interesse pela Paisagem tem ganho uma importância crescente que transforma a disciplina numa plataforma de investigação onde os vários ramos do conhecimento se cruzam.
É neste âmbito que o Instituto de História Contemporânea da Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade Nova de Lisboa realizou em Sintra, no Centro Cultural Olga Cadaval, durante os dias 5 e 6 de Abril 2018, o 1o Congresso Ibero Americano em Estudos de Paisagem – https://cibam2018.wordpress.com .
Neste encontro refletimos sobre as diferentes relações do Homem com a Paisagem, recorrendo à experiência de académicos e técnicos que têm trabalhado sobre diferentes campos da temática, estabelecendo um fórum de discussão focalizado nas diferentes metodologias utilizadas.
Os diferentes contributos escritos que resultaram da realização deste congresso são agora reunidos e apresentados neste e-book, de modo a potenciar a sua divulgação, leitura e referenciação.
Na organização desta publicação foram tidos em consideração alguns aspetos que referenciamos seguidamente.
Os diferentes contributos foram repartidos em dois tipos distintos de documentos: um formado por pequenos artigos, redigidos por autores convidados, e publicados no final das newsletter que periodicamente foram publicitando os aspetos mais relevantes associados à realização do colóquio, e outro, formado por textos maiores que serviram de suporte às comunicações apresentadas durante o encontro. Para diferenciar os dois tipos de documentos, considerou-se anteceder a apresentação dos primeiros com uma capa, sobre a qual foi disposta a palavra “post-it”, expressão associada à sua curta dimensão e caracter sintético.
Entre os diferentes contributos encontram-se textos redigidos em português, castelhano e inglês. Para a sua apresentação considerou-se que se deveriam manter as línguas originais de redação. No caso dos artigos resultantes de comunicações, escritos em português ou castelhano, a sua transcrição é antecedida de um resumo na língua em que foram redigidos e 5 palavras chave associadas, sendo este conjunto de elementos apresentado também, e seguidamente, em língua inglesa. Nos casos em que o artigo foi redigido em inglês considerou-se que este deveria ter o resumo e palavras chave nessa língua, e que a segunda língua de divulgação deveria de ser o português, tendo em consideração que essa é a língua de uso corrente do país que organizou o evento.
A ordem de apresentação dos textos seguiu a sequenciação alfabética dada pelo nome do primeiro subscritor de cada artigo.
O conteúdo dos textos e imagens dos diferentes artigos são da responsabilidade dos respetivos autores.
A coordenação procedeu à uniformização da formatação e apresentação gráfica dos diferentes trabalhos, de modo a obter uma coerência visual dos conteúdos.
No final de cada volume apresentam-se os resumos curriculares dos respetivos autores.
Como resultado, este trabalho reúne uma súmula de 88 artigos, contributo dado por 142 autores, que se desenvolve ao longo de quase 1800 páginas, repartidas por 5 volumes.
Termino com um agradecimento expressivo a todos os investigadores que contribuíram com o seu trabalho para esta publicação.

Detalhes do Evento
International conference on the proclamation of Guinea-Bissau independence through the lens of connected histories, considering its local, regional, international and transnational dimensions.
The Unilateral Proclamation of Independence of Guinea-Bissau:
Fifty Years Later (1973-2023)
In January 1963, the PAIGC (Partido Africano para a Independência da Guiné e Cabo Verde – African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cabo Verde) engaged in an armed struggle against Portuguese colonial rule in Guinea-Bissau. Soon afterwards, the movement started to claim control over part of the Guinean territory, the so-called liberated areas. From 1965 onwards, liberated areas became a key concept and one of the linchpins of the PAIGC diplomacy and were linked by the movement to the attempt to establish a proto-state through state-building programs to provide health, economic, educational, technical, judiciary, and administrative assistance to the local populations. The movement conceived the liberated areas and state-building programs to fit into contemporary paradigms of statehood and to be used as means to gain the support of formal allies and informal networks of solidarity, as well as to place internationally the struggle and the demand for independence of Guinea and Cabo Verde. This becomes evident in the way the PAIGV endeavoured to delegitimize the Portuguese rule and to convince the international community that the situation in Guinea was comparable to an independent state with a portion of its territories, namely the urban areas, occupied by foreign armed forces.
Claiming that Portugal was no longer capable of ruling over most of the Guinean territory, the PAIGC leader, Amílcar Cabral, started in May 1968 to contemplate the unilateral proclamation of independence as part of his strategy to win the war. The proclamation was postponed several times and only in the early 1970s the idea came to fruition. The progress of the armed struggle coupled with the United Nations (UN) visiting mission to Guinea, held between 2 and 8 April 1972, became a strong stimulus to the intention of unilaterally proclaiming independence. After securing recognition by the UN as the sole and authentic representative of the Guinean population, the PAIGC held elections to the People’s National Assembly and established the Republic of Guinea-Bissau on 24 September 1973. Soon, many countries recognized the unilateral declaration of independence, and 50 UN member states requested a General Assembly debate on the situation in the territory. From the beginning, the intention behind the request was clear since the wording of the issue in the agenda reproduced the PAIGC rhetoric of “illegal occupation by Portuguese military forces of certain sectors of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau and acts of aggression committed by them against the people of the Republic.”
Resolution 3061 (XXVIII), of 2 November 1973, approved by the General Assembly took the independence of Guinea-Bissau for granted, although Portugal denied the existence of the Republic and argued that it did not meet the criteria of a nation. Nevertheless, the resolution only welcomed the accession of the people of Guinea-Bissau to independence, failing to recognize the formation of a new sovereign state. This was a symptom of how divisive the recognition of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau was for member states, with the United States and the United Kingdom threatening to use the veto power in case of a request for admission at the UN. No attempt was made for the membership of the Republic at the UN, but resolution 3061 (XXVIII) deeply influenced the future of the independence struggle in Guinea-Bissau. The document established that since the PAIGC held control over part of the territory, a unilateral proclamation of independence was a legitimate action. Moreover, the resolution refused Portugal’s claim to represent the colony, branding the country as an aggressor that was violating the sovereignty and integrity of an independent state.
The proclamation of independence significantly increased the international notoriety of the PAIGC and of Guinea-Bissau. The event played a crucial role in the process of recognition by Portugal of the independence of Guinea-Bissau that occurred on 10 September 1974. Overall, the Guinean anti-colonial liberation struggle transformed the face of the world politics: it worked as a catalyst for the regime change in Portugal. It was one the driving forces behind the Carnation Revolution (25 April 1974), that brought the Estado Novo dictatorship to an end. The Guinean anti-colonial struggle also influenced the whole Portuguese decolonization in Africa and opened pathways to establish state partnerships and placed Guinea-Bissau as a global political actor. This is why, as a local historical fact, the proclamation of Guinea independence should be scrutinized through the lens of connected histories, to consider its local, regional, international and transnational dimensions and scopes in order to shed light on the multiple aspects, dynamics, impacts and ramifications the event generated in Africa and elsewhere.
Although the unilateral proclamation of independence has been highlighted in the scholarship regarding the struggle for the independence of Guinea-Bissau, there is a need to explore the subject in greater depth. To expand the parameters of inquiry on the Guinea-Bissau rise to statehood (and taking into account the upcoming 50th anniversary of the Unilateral Proclamation of Independence), the Institute of Contemporary History at NOVA University Lisbon and CEIS20 at University of Coimbra will organize an international conference to be held online and in-person on 22 and 23 September 2023.
