The article starts from the perspective, elsewhere studied, that the mass media in Portugal − which has its zero year in 1865, with the foundation of Diário de Notícias, and since 1881, with the appearance of the newspaper O Século, its unstoppable expansion − transformed the Great War of 1914-1918 into the first mediatic war. The apotheosis of the war did not lack the use of fiction, in the literary sense, what the young journalist Mário de Almeida then called a «literature of war» as a «vacant field» ready to «pass the plough above», and which I designate as war fictions. From this fictional representation came a textual corpus, published in the magazine Ilustração Portuguesa (belonging to the mediatic empire of O Século), in a set that did not complete four dozen texts in a chronological arc that extended, with decreasing regularity, from 1 February 1915 to August 28, 1916. Except for one or another author looking for a place in the literary field, the initiative came from a new and specific journalistic field in statement process, but still in half walls with the literary writings. These war fictions were intended to feed all the sensationalism of war, plus the emotion that the creation of characters could credibly lend to the climate of the conflict, that is to say a greater efficacy in staging the real, as was expected by the interlocutor in a story about a Christmas in war: “Give it some literature and there’s a subject for a Christmas tale …” Not so much for the interest of the fictional themes or narrative strategies, are the characters who, even if stereotyped and sometimes ill-defined, meet the emotions market created by the mediatic propaganda, with his example of personal determination, effort, sacrifice or moralizing glory.

The Press and the Holocaust
Public opinion and the press (taken in a broad sense to include newspapers, radio broadcasts, pamphlets, leaflets, etc.) became major actors of the world since WWI. Their significance can hardly be underestimated. As the American journalist Robert W. Desmond wrote at the very beginning of a book on The Press and World Affairs in 1937, “the press not only reports the history of the world, day by day, but helps to make it.” Surprisingly, however, the press continues to remain only a secondary (and neglected) source of information in Holocaust research. After the first British and American research on the subject, in the late 1960s, and a couple of other scattered case studies that were published from the 1980s on, it was only recently (2023) that a Guide to Holocaust sources finally included a chapter on “Contemporary Newspapers as Sources for Approaching Holocaust Study.”
To be sure, the press plays a double role as a valuable source of information about the period: it disseminated mass information and purported to influence public opinion (the numerous historical studies on propaganda testify to the awareness of its importance), while at the same time it mirrors the multitude of public voices and opinions that were locally available and willing to polemically interact on.
This conference aims to contribute to a more comprehensive and all-encompassing understanding of the Holocaust by discussing how the European press covered nazi anti-Semitism and the Holocaust from a comparative historical perspective.
Call for papers
The conference welcomes paper proposals from a broad range of disciplines dealing with:
- The flow of information in European countries about the anti-Semitic violence ongoing in Germany and occupied Europe;
- The knowledge available to public opinion on the genocide that took place during the war;
- The role of news agencies on the dissemination and exchange of (dis)information regarding the Holocaust;
- The constructing and desconstructing of anti-Semitic stereotypes and prejudices during the period;
We especially encourage the participation of younger scholars at the beginning of their careers.
Selected papers will be published.
Working language of the conference: English

Workshop, organized within the framework REWIND project, on the use of a digital textual analysis tool: Voyant Tools.
Oficina de Introdução ao Voyant Tools
A oficina tem uma abordagem prática sobre o uso duma ferramenta digital de análise textual. Foi concebida, assim, como uma introdução a algumas das funcionalidades da ferramenta Voyant Tools. A visualização, enquanto estratégia de representação computacional, baseia-se numa tradução metafórica entre um conjunto de dados quantitativos e um conjunto de elementos gráficos. Estes elementos gráficos estabelecem entre si um sistema de relações, cujo objetivo é abstrair e simplificar um sistema de relações quantitativas.
Sobre o formador:

Crepúsculo do Império – Portugal e as Guerras de Descolonização
Pedro Aires Oliveira e João Vieira Borges (Coords.)
A Bertrand Editora, a Comissão Portuguesa de História Militar, o Arquivo Nacional Torre do Tombo e o IHC têm o prazer de convidar para o lançamento do livro “Crepúsculo do Império – Portugal e as Guerras de Descolonização“, coordenado por Pedro Aires Oliveira e João Vieira Borges, que terá lugar no dia 21 de Novembro, às 18h, na Sala de Conferências da Torre do Tombo.
A obra será apresentada por Maria Inácia Rezola, com a presença dos coordenadores.
A sessão faz parte das actividades do IHC integradas na Semana da Ciência e da Tecnologia em Portugal.
ENTRADA LIVRE
As guerras travadas por Portugal entre 1961 e 1975, com vista à preservação do seu secular império ultramarino, são impossíveis de ignorar em qualquer balanço histórico ao 25 de Abril de 1974. Quando se assinalam 50 anos sobre essa data e se revisitam as circunstâncias do tumultuoso processo de descolonização que se desenrolou em várias partes de África e da Ásia, e também na metrópole, este volume apresenta um grande estado da questão sobre os últimos anos do colonialismo português.
Reunindo a colaboração de mais de três dezenas de autores/as oriundos de várias instituições portuguesas e internacionais, bem como de especialistas reconhecidos na área da história, da estratégia e das ciências militares, esta é uma obra que familiarizará o público com algumas das investigações mais inovadoras acerca das guerras coloniais de Portugal, num olhar que procura integrar facetas menos conhecidas desses conflitos (a participação feminina, os prisioneiros de guerra, o fenómeno da deserção, a propaganda, os africanos que combateram pelo império, as sequelas físicas e psicológicas dos antigos combatentes), assim como a perspetiva dos movimentos nacionalistas africanos.
