«A crise histórica dos sistemas liberais do Ocidente, aquela que vivemos, potenciada pela época neoliberal do capitalismo, parece tender para a emergência de um novo tipo de regimes “pós-democráticos”, autoritários, populistas e xenófobos. (…) Os paralelismos com a primeira grande crise dos sistemas liberais nos anos vinte do seculo passado e com o seu desfecho trágico na época dos fascismos e da guerra são, pois, incontornáveis, apesar das importantes diferenças de contexto histórico. (…) Permitam-me, por isso, a sugestão de que este livro possa também ser lido sob essa perspetiva» (do Prefácio do autor).
Este livro apresenta uma reflexão revista e aprofundada dos fatores que estiveram por detrás do sucesso da Primeira República e dos que contribuíram para a sua derrota em 1926. A crise de legitimidade da governação republicana, a rutura com o movimento operário e o seu refluxo, os efeitos desastrosos da intervenção na Grande Guerra são algumas das principais linhas de análise do historiador Fernando Rosas, num ensaio tão relevante para conhecermos o passado como para evitar repeti-lo.

The Public History of Difficult Pasts
8th International Conference on Public History
IFPH 2026
The 8th International Conference on Public History, organised by the International Federation for Public History, IFPH, will take place in Lisbon from September 7 to 11, 2026. It will be hosted by IN2PAST – the Associate Laboratory for Research and Innovation in Heritage, Arts, Sustainability and Territory, a transdisciplinary consortium of seven research centres, at the Almada Negreiros College on the Campolide Campus of NOVA University Lisbon.
In a time of escalating attacks by right-wing movements on memory, diversity, human rights, democracy, and history itself, the IFPH reaffirms its commitment to fostering critical engagement with the ways societies confront, interpret, and relate to their difficult pasts and challenging presents. The IFPH strongly condemns book banning, the censorship of historical narratives, the surveillance of students and educators, the targeting of sites of remembrance, and the imposition of ideological agendas — particularly right-wing distortions — that not only threaten academic freedom but undermine the very principles upon which public history is built. Against this backdrop, the conference seeks to challenge historical revisionism and silencing, to amplify marginalised voices and memories, and to promote transnational dialogues on reconciliation, accountability, and restorative justice.
Public History has long addressed global historical processes such as colonialism, the transatlantic slave trade, and the genocide of Indigenous peoples, as well as phenomena that emerge in multiple contexts, including armed conflicts and dictatorships. It embodies both a political and ethical commitment to examining how difficult pasts have been lived and remembered by different communities and individuals, ensuring that their perspectives are acknowledged and respected. At the same time, engaging with these histories through Public History raises significant challenges. Sharing authority with specific communities and amplifying marginalised narratives may unintentionally silence other voices, while also presenting complex ethical dilemmas. Furthermore, Public History operates within the public sphere, engaging diverse audiences and navigating competing representations of the past in an era increasingly marked by the political instrumentalisation of history and the spread of revisionist and denialist discourses.
