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.

O Grupo de Leitura RESONANCE é um encontro mensal da comunidade académica mais ampla do projeto RESONANCE, dedicado à reflexão sobre um texto ou livro importantes.

RESONANCE Reading Group

Session #6: Images of Class: Operaismo, Autonomia and the Visual Arts (1962-1988), by Jacopo Galimberti

The RESONANCE Reading Group is a monthly meeting that brings together members of the academic community, colleagues, friends, and enthusiasts of contemporary cultural history to reflect on and discuss a fundamental text or book. It is part of the project RESONANCE — Epistemologies for the Documentation of Affect and Becoming in Cultural Manifestations in Performance (1969-1979). This group meets in person at NOVA FCSH or online, during lunchtime on a weekday. Each participant brings their own lunch, and for in-person sessions, coffee and biscuits are kindly provided by the project.

The sixth session of the RESONANCE Reading Group focuses on Chapter 7 of the book Images of Class: Operaismo, Autonomia and the Visual Arts (1962-1988). The chapter – Art against Housework: The Gruppo Immagine and the Wages for Housework Campaign – brings together discussions on social reproduction vis-à-vis informal networks of solidarity across feminist art practice ecologies in the 1970s. This is a key text to explore the infrastructural dynamics of these movements with a close reading of artistic production at the crux of the Operaismo and Autonomia movements. This reading group is going to be led by Hélia Marçal (IHA, NOVA FCSH / IN2PAST) and will count with the author’s participation.

You can hear Jacopo presenting the book here, and in an e-flux podcast episode with Andreas Petrossiants here. This event will be conducted in English but we will do our best to facilitate translation into English if needed.

This session integrates RESONANCE’s Autumn Seminar, which also includes the RESONANCE Autumn Lecture, which will be delivered by Jacopo Galimberti. Galimberti will present his latest research at the Salão Nobre of the NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities, on September 9 at 18.00. The session – titled Hopeful Monsters: Operaismo, Autonomia, and the Reconfiguration of Revolutionary Subjectivity – seeks to trace the representation of revolutionary subjectivity, focusing on the figure of the monster as depicted in Italy in the 1960s and 1970s.

You can register for the Reading Group by emailing the RESONANCE project team at resonance.fcsh.unl@gmail.com and to receive a PDF copy of the chapter.

Operaismo, Autonomia, and the Reconfiguration of Revolutionary Subjectivity

Jacopo Galimberti (Università Iuav di Venezia)

In the context of the RESONANCE project and the IHA’s Permanent Seminar, Jacopo Galimberti will deliver a seminar featuring his latest research at the Salão Nobre of the NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities, on September 9 at 18.00. The session – titled Hopeful Monsters: Operaismo, Autonomia, and the Reconfiguration of Revolutionary Subjectivity – seeks to trace the representation of revolutionary subjectivity, focusing on the figure of the monster as depicted in Italy in the 1960s and 1970s. Galimberti will explore these hopeful monsters as a visual reflection on the political taxonomies of the twentieth century, tracing, in the process, the characteristics of a revolutionary subjectivity. This author’s approach relates to the RESONANCE project’s research on revolutionary intersubjectivity and its materialisations across timescapes.

The talk will be delivered in English.

This session integrates RESONANCE’s Autumn Seminar, which also includes the RESONANCE Reading Group, which will take place on September 9 at noon, and will count with Galimberti’s participation.

Encontro educativo e cultural municipal com foco no património (i)material local de Famalicão.

VI Encontro – Lendas, tradições… feiras e mercados – De Famalicão para o Mundo

No âmbito do programa educativo e cultural municipal “De Famalicão para o Mundo” realiza-se a 25 e 26 de setembro de 2026, no auditório da Biblioteca Municipal Camilo Castelo Branco e na Casa do Território, o “VI Encontro – Lendas, tradições… feiras e mercados – De Famalicão para o Mundo” .

O Encontro surge da constatação de uma abordagem pedagógica fragmentada do património (i)material local, frequentemente limitado a efemérides isoladas e desarticulado das aprendizagens essenciais e do PASEO. Neste sentido, existe a necessidade premente de capacitar os docentes de todas as áreas disciplinares para a integração sistemática das lendas, tradições e feiras do concelho de Vila Nova de Famalicão nos programas escolares, promovendo a interdisciplinaridade. Esta ação responde à urgência de dotar os professores de ferramentas teórico-práticas e metodologias ativas que convertam a identidade cultural famalicense num recurso didático dinâmico e global. Assim, colmata-se o défice de articulação comunitária, potenciando o projeto educativo municipal como motor de cidadania ativa e inovação pedagógica. Pretende-se ainda fomentar a construção de instrumentos pedagógicos e didáticos, relacionados com os conteúdos curriculares, para reforçar as aprendizagens e a identidade dos alunos, ao integrar a História Local num contexto nacional e global.

Objetivos:

– Identificar os principais marcos do património (i)material famalicense (ex.: Feira Grande de S. Miguel, tradições artesanais, lendas locais) e o seu potencial de contextualização curricular;

– Analisar a evolução histórica e o impacto socioeconómico da Feira Grande de S. Miguel e dos mercados locais no concelho;

– Interpretar as principais lendas e tradições famalicenses enquanto manifestações da memória coletiva e da literatura oral;

– Reconhecer o potencial do património (i)material local como veículo de ligação entre a escola, os investigadores e as instituições culturais do município;

– Conhecer ferramentas digitais disponíveis e em permanente atualização que permitem aos alunos investigar e conhecer a identidade de Famalicão.

Pretende-se ainda fomentar a construção de instrumentos pedagógicos e didáticos, relacionados com os conteúdos curriculares, para reforçar as aprendizagens e a identidade dos alunos, ao integrar a História Local num contexto nacional e global.

Objetivos:

– Identificar os principais marcos do património (i)material famalicense (ex.: Feira Grande de S. Miguel, tradições artesanais, lendas locais) e o seu potencial de contextualização curricular;

– Analisar a evolução histórica e o impacto socioeconómico da Feira Grande de S. Miguel e dos mercados locais no concelho;

– Interpretar as principais lendas e tradições famalicenses enquanto manifestações da memória coletiva e da literatura oral;

– Reconhecer o potencial do património (i)material local como veículo de ligação entre a escola, os investigadores e as instituições culturais do município;

– Conhecer ferramentas digitais disponíveis e em permanente atualização que permitem aos alunos investigar e conhecer a identidade de Famalicão.
