UIDB/04666/2020 UIDP/04666/2020 DL 57/2016/CP1453/CT0027 This paper addresses the understudied early liberation movement in Goa, under the leadership of Tristão de Bragança Cunha (Chandor, 1891-Bombay, 1958), evidencing its building in the intersection of local, national and international histories, since he achieved recognition of a Goa Committee of the Indian National Congress. The ideas and views elaborated by Cunha in those years set the core ideas and political basis of the influential wing led by him in Goan nationalism. The study is substantially based on a set of documents, unapproached before, accessed in 2018 at the Nehru Memorial Museum and Archive (New Delhi). O presente estudo aborda o pouco estudado início do movimento de libertação em Goa, sob a liderança de Tristão de Bragança Cunha (Chandor, 1891-Bombay, 1958), evidenciando a sua construção na intersecção de histórias locais, nacionais e internacionais, desde o momento em que conseguiu o reconhecimento do Comité de Goa do Congresso Nacional Indiano. As ideias e perspectivas elaboradas por Cunha nesses anos estabeleceram as ideias centrais e a base política da influente ala do nacionalismo goês que liderou. O estudo é substancialmente assente num conjunto de documentos, não abordado até agora, acedidos em 2018 no Nehru Memorial Museum and Archive (Nova Deli). publishersversion published

UIDB/04666/2020 UIDP/04666/2020 This article aims to identify the existence of a laughter community in Portugal in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Based on research into the beginnings of humour in periodicals published in Portugal, a corpus consisting of newspapers published between 1797 and 1835 was analysed, from the first in which humour was used systematically as a resource (Almocreve de Petas) until the establishment of the Constitutional Monarchy. With the concept of laughter community in mind, evidence was sought that it was present in the period that covers the political, social and economic transition from the Ancien Régime to modern society, having as main players writers, editors, printers, readers and listeners, in a process of production, reception, circulation and appropriation of ideas and meanings. This process, which developed in the public sphere, also played a part in forming incipient public opinion. To detect evidence of this community, clichés, jocular expressions and comic stories conveyed by the periodicals were identified. Very often they were found to have kept the same meaning they had at the time, while some expressions have survived with slight changes, and others simply no longer make people laugh. publishersversion published

UIDB/04666/2020 UIDP/04666/2020 Embora o imaginário europeu pós-colonial descreva sociedades europeias multiculturais, este traço foi construído à custa de mão-de-obra barata amiúde considerada como facilmente assimilável e integrável (Jerónimo & Monteiro 2020). Porém, como defende Víctor Pereira (2015) sobre o caso português, os emigrantes nunca foram ouvidos. O artigo discute “Eu empresto-te a Mariá” e Um Fado Atlântico, protagonizados por subalternas imigradas, argumentando que estas narrativas questionam o pensamento classista e patriarcal subjacente ao poder neocolonial sobre o Outro, neste caso, a mulher imigrante. A representação narrativa humanizada da imigrante é uma forma de resistência que desconstrói o mito pós-colonial e capitalista sobre integração. Although the postcolonial European imaginary describes multicultural Europeansocieties, this trait was built at the expense of cheap workforce, often considered easilyassimilated and integrated (Jerónimo & Monteiro 2020). As Víctor Pereira (2015) argues onthe Portuguese case, emigrants were never heard. This article discusses “Eu empresto-tea Mariá” and Um Fado Atlântico whose protagonists are immigrant women servants, andargues that these narratives question the patriarchal and classist mindset underlying theneocolonial power over the Other, the immigrant woman in this case. The humanizingnarrative representation of the immigrant woman is an act of resistance that deconstructsthe postcolonial and capitalist myth of integration. publishersversion published

UIDB/04666/2020 UIDP/04666/2020 A crise que culminou na independência do Brasil foi tema de um longo debate no primeiro Parlamento português, eleito na sequência da Revolução de 1820. Esse debate foi alimentado pelos periódicos, incluindo os humorísticos. O riso, da ironia ao sarcasmo, foi instrumental para a formação de uma opinião pública ao serviço das estratégias em confronto. The crisis leading to the independence of Brazil was thoroughly debated in the first Portuguese Parliament, elected in the aftermath of the 1820 revolution. That debate was magnified by the press, including humorous periodicals. Laughter, from irony to sarcasm, was instrumental in constructing public opinion endorsing competing strategies. publishersversion published

UIDB/04666/2020 UIDP/04666/2020 No decurso do seu estabelecimento e consolidação, a Egiptologia (ocidental) alimentou a e foi alimentada pela popularidade do Egipto enquanto destino turístico. Num contexto colonial, várias publicações vieram à estampa com vista a dotar as classes mais abastadas de informações práticas relevantes para as suas viagens naquele território. Impressos no Egipto e circulando no Ocidente, tais periódicos concorreram para a veiculação de determinadas percepções do país no estrangeiro, expressando atitudes ambivalentes e diacronicamente mutáveis face ao passado antigo e ao patri- mónio arqueológico, numa permanente dialéctica e negociação entre passado e presente. A Egypt Exploration Society (EES) alberga um conjunto significativo de revistas de viagem egíp- cias, composto por mais de 70 itens, datadas das décadas de 1920 a 1970. Este intervalo temporal reveste-se de uma particular importância na história contemporânea egípcia, compreendendo acon- tecimentos fundamentais como a independência formal do país em 1922 ou a revolução de 1952 que conduziu à implementação do regime republicano. A sucessão de regimes e lideranças políticas afectou a(s) imagem(ns) do Egipto no estrangeiro, influenciando consequentemente as linhas edito- riais adoptadas pelas várias revistas destinadas a promover o turismo do/no país. A presente comunicação visa apresentar os resultados de um projecto promovido pela EES, no quadro do qual procedi à digitalização das capas das supra-mencionadas revistas e à investigação dos seus conteúdos e intervenientes. Desta forma, ter-se-ão em linha de conta não só as principais tendências iconográficas patentes nos frontispícios destas publicações, como também os temas mais frequentemente abordados e respectiva evolução, a par dos diversos agentes que para elas produziram. Considerando as mutações verificadas ao longo do tempo, tentar-se-á compreender em que medida é que o passado antigo foi (ou não) mobilizado nestas publicações em dinâmicas de (re)imaginação de determinadas ideias de “Egipto” junto das elites ocidentais entre o segundo e quarto quartéis do século XX. publishersversion published

UIDB/04666/2020 UIDP/04666/2020 Este artigo centra-se na receção de José Saramago na crítica académica chinesa, apoiando-se na teoria da estética da receção e do efeito, nomeadamente nos contributos de Hans Robert Jauss e Wolfgang Iser. Por meio da recolha e abordagem de 39 trabalhos académicos (publicados em revistas, atas de congresso e dissertações) acerca de José Saramago e das suas obras traduzidas na China, visa-se conhecer as interpretações dos estudiosos chineses sobre a criação saramaguiana, observar a tendência de estudo relativamente a este escritor português, verificar quais as obras mais analisadas e as perspetivas de análise dominantes no campo académico chinês. Este é, pois, um estudo ainda introdutório e seminal que pretende abrir as portas a futuros trabalhos sobre a presença deste grande escritor de língua portuguesa na China. Based on the contributions of the aesthetics of reception and effect, particularly from authors such as Hans Robert Jauss and Wolfgang Iser, the present article focuses on the reception of José Saramago in Chinese academic criticism. Through the collection and analysis of 39 academic works (published in journals, conference proceedings, and dissertations) about José Saramago and his works translated into China, we aim to know the interpretations of Chinese scholars about Saramago’s creation, observe the trend of study regarding this Portuguese writer, to verify which works have been most analyzed and the dominant perspectives of analysis in the Chinese academic field. This is, therefore, an introductory and seminal study that aims to open the way to future works on the presence of this great Portuguese-speaking writer in China. publishersversion published

Como sabemos, ao longo de cerca de dois anos, a saúde esteve, antes de mais, na agenda pessoal de cada um de nós, bem como nas agendas sanitária, política, mediática e, também, académica. Ainda que o contexto pudesse parecer pouco favorável à realização de um evento científico, considerámos que seria um bom momento para analisar o tema da saúde, desde a ótica das pequenas cidades ao longo do tempo. Este livro resulta de uma seleção dos trabalhos apresentados e debatidos no Colóquio Pequenas Cidades e Saúde, realizado online nos dias 6, 7 e 8 de maio de 2021. Os textos apresentados incluem abordagens muito diversas no seu espectro cronológico, desde a Idade Média à Época Contemporânea, e nos seus métodos, por diferentes áreas de investigação histórica. O volume oferece assim o que consideramos ser uma perspectiva atualizada sobre a problemática da saúde desde os pequenos núcleos urbanos incluindo reflexões sobre as políticas e estruturas de saúde pública, os processos de mudança e adaptação, a gestão de recursos e a sua materialidade, o papel dos governos locais e a sua interação com o poder central, e ainda reflexões sobre as respostas urbanas em tempos de epidemia. publishersversion published

Insect faunas from a Spanish and a Dutch shipwreck, Angra D and Angra C, recovered from a bay on Terceira island, Angra do Heroísmo, in the Azores, and dated to c. 1650 CE, provide information about the onboard ecology of seventeenth century shipping vessels and the role of these ships and of contemporary maritime routes in biological invasions. In addition to evidence for foul conditions, there is evidence for similar insect faunas on both these ships. The assemblages include the earliest records of the now cosmopolitan synanthropic scuttle fly Dohrniphora cornuta (Bigot) which was probably introduced through trade from southeast Asia to Europe. The presence of the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana (L.) from Angra D, in the context of other sixteenth and seventeenth century records from shipwrecks, gives information about its spread to North America and Europe through transatlantic and transpacific trade, hitching a ride with traded commodities. The insect data point to the importance of introduced taxa on traded commodities and ballast, transported from port to port, and the role of ports of call like Angra in the Azores, as hot spots for biological invasions.

UIDB/04666/2020 UIDP/04666/2020 UI/BD/151244/2021 Este estudio tuvo como objetivo caracterizar, desde el punto de vista metrológico y morfológico, los comedores urbanos ubicados en la provincia de Lusitania, habiendo abordado los ejemplos identificados en las ciudades de Conimbriga (Condeixa-a-Velha), Capera (Cáparra), Augusta Emerita (Mérida) y Mirobriga (Santiago do Cacém), que fueron construidos en orden cronológico entre el siglo I d. C. y el siglo III d. C. El conjunto de análisis demostró la existencia de una cierta jerarquía en las medidas de las habitaciones, habiendo verificado que las medidas de ancho son más homogéneas, permitiendo formar 4 grupos de tamaños, a los que se asocia un conjunto de medidas de largo más heterogéneo, y sugiriendo una mayor importancia de la medida del ancho, posiblemente relacionada con la colocación de los lecti. La existencia de grupos de tamaño relativamente estandarizados, así como la presencia de varios comedores en una misma casa, sugiere la existencia de una relación entre tamaño y carácter funcional, así como la existencia de reglas establecidas para el dimensionamiento de determinados espacios. This study aims to characterise the urban dining rooms located in the province of Lusitania from a metrological and morphological point of view. The studied examples were identified in the cities of Conimbriga (Condeixa-a-Velha), Capera (Cáparra), Augusta Emerita (Mérida), and Mirobriga (Santiago do Cacém) and were built between the 1st and the 3rd century CE. The conducted analyses demonstrated the existence of a certain hierarchy in room dimensions, with widths being more homogeneous. This led to the definition of four size clusters, that have a more heterogeneous set of lengths associated, suggesting greater importance of room width, possibly related to the placement of the couches. The existence of relatively standardised size clusters, as well as the presence of several dining rooms in the same house, suggest a relationship between size and functional character, as well as the existence of established rules for the sizing of certain spaces. publishersversion published

It presents a reassessment of the state of art on the Portuguese case in the early modern world (in the kingdom of Portugal in Europe and its overseas empire), followed by some contributions for an ongoing research agenda. It is divided in three parts, presenting overviews of the situation in Europe, overseas and at sea. It concludes that it is difficult to sustain that the Portuguese case supports the case for a link between an alleged military revolution and unilinear state-formation or Western military exceptionalism publishersversion published

UID/HIS/04666/2019 The main goal of my PhD is to consider the phraseology present in the New Kingdom religious hymns which explicitly mentions the cosmogonical process, that is, that sheds some light on the way the world came into existence. My research is structured around three core questions: Who creates? (The identity of the Creator); What is created? (The outcomes of the Creation); How is it created? (The processes, mechanisms, and devices used by the Creator to set the World into existence). Nevertheless, there is one particular feature in this corpus that somehow blurs the individuation of these analytical axes: the fact that one of the most mentioned outcomes of the creation in these texts is the Creator himself. The Egyptian term xpr is quintessential in this context since it conveys the idea of “coming to existence” or “assuming/taking a shape” (e.g. BM EA826). Nevertheless, there are other ways of expressing this notion, namely the ones linked to an idea of construction and formation through manual/craft work, employing verbs such as od or nbj (e.g. pLeiden I 344 verso). The deity’s self-creation might as well be rendered by na allusion to a biological process, where the Creator would have engendered (wtT) and given birth (msj) to himself (e.g. BM EA551). In this paper I intend to focus on the different ways through which the Demiurge’s selfgenesis is conveyed in this corpus. On the one hand, I will consider the possible religious meanings and implications of this existential continuity between producer and product. On the other hand, I will link this phenomenon with other cosmogonical aspects attested in these texts, such as the creation of gods (theogony) and human beings (anthropogeny). publishersversion published

UIDB/04666/2020 UIDP/04666/2020 A Guerra Civil Americana (1861-1865) foi um conflito militar que marcou profundamente as sociedades ocidentais do século XIX. A combinação das causas sociais e políticas com as transformações militares e navais teve um profundo impacto nas mentalidades europeias e americanas. A imprensa portuguesa tornou-se o instrumento fundamental para o conhecimento e compreensão dos acontecimentos que decorreram durante este confronto violento. A “Correspondência de Portugal" iniciou a sua publicação no ano de 1862 marcado por uma viragem essencial na evolução da guerra. Neste artigo analisaremos as informações transmitidas aos leitores portugueses, moldando a sua visão da guerra civil americana. Teremos em consideração as limitações e insuficiências das notícias transmitidas, valorizando as perceções e conceções ideológicas dos seus redatores. The American Civil War (1861-1865) was a military conflict that profoundly marked Western societies in the 19th century. The combination of social and political causes with military and naval transformations had a profound impact on European and American mindsets. The Portuguese press became the fundamental instrument for the knowledge and understanding of the events that took place during this violent confrontation. The “Correspondência de Portugal" began its publication in 1862, marked by an essential turning point in the evolution of the war. In this article we will analyze the information transmitted to Portuguese readers, shaping their vision of the American Civil War. We will consider the limitations and shortcomings of the news transmitted, valuing the perceptions and ideological conceptions of its editors. publishersversion published

UIDB/04666/2020 UIDP/04666/2020 The study of Early Modern Iberian footwear is taking its first steps. Both historiography and archaeological research have devoted little attention to this issue and organic remains found in excavation even tend to be discarded. This paper will address the results of DRESS project’s questioning about courtly footwear, whose research benefited from a multidisciplinary team that included archaeologists familiar with the assemblages from which it was still possible to recover remains for analysis. The data provided and analysed starts with the study of the footwear evidence found in the Angra D shipwreck (Azores), a 16th century site. However, we soon noticed that this isolated study did not comprehensively provide information on the subject and two other intertidal archaeological sites were added: assemblages from Santa Clara-a-Velha (Poor Clares) Monastery in Coimbra (late 16th and 17th century), situated on the south bank of the Mondego River, and archaeological remains from the Campo das Cebolas (Old Market), on Lisbon waterfront (16th–17th century). Data from three archaeological sites were collected, drawn, and analysed, and a comparative methodology was applied. In the absence of syntheses for Iberian world, we used both critical bibliographies pertaining to North European collections and visual parallels, resulting on the first typological series of Iberian footwear. publishersversion published

A reportagem foi publicada na década de 1940 no suplemento literário “Correio das Artes”, do jornal A União, da Paraíba. Considerada uma das fontes documentais mais antigas sobre a comunidade quilombola de Caiana dos Crioulos, este documento revela o papel da imprensa na modificação dos modelos socio-culturais, antecipando o reconhecimento político de práticas e de comunidades pouco conhecidas.

UIDB/04666/2020 UIDP/04666/2020 Los lazos matrimoniales formados por las casas reales de Portugal y España en abril y junio de 1785 promovieron la unión entre D. João de Bragança y D. Carlota Joaquina de Borbón y D. Mariana Victoria de Bragança y D. Gabriel de Borbón. El Palacio de la Inquisición de Lisboa fue el epicentro de los festejos promovidos por el diplomático enviado en representación de la Corona española, el VI Conde de Fernán Núñez. La estructura de la fachada, concebida para las segundas festividades, revelaba una imaginería que representaba el poder de su promotor, según el proyecto y ejecución de Timothée Lécussan Verdier y Matthieu Doret. El enfoque propuesto se basa en el contexto histórico de los eventos festivos que conducen a la construcción de una estructura arquitectónica exterior monumental yuxtapuesta al edificio del Palacio de la Inquisición de Lisboa. Tras caracterizar la estructura arquitectónica y analizar el programa iconográfico de la efímera fachada, pretendemos justificar la atribución de los nombres de los dos principales artistas que intervinieron en su construcción y proceder a la identificación de posibles modelos de influencia artística. The matrimonial bonds formed by the royal houses of Portugal and Spain in April and June of 1785 promoted the union between D. João de Bragança and D. Carlota Joaquina de Borbón and D. Mariana Victoria de Bragança and D. Gabriel de Borbón. The Palace of the Lisbon Inquisition was the epicenter of the festivities promoted by the diplomat sent on behalf of the Spanish Crown, the VI Count of Fernán Núñez. The façade structure, conceived for the second festivities, revealed an imagery representing the power of its promoter, according to the project and execution of Timothée Lécussan Verdier and Matthieu Doret. The proposed approach is based on the historical context of the festive events leading to the construction of a monumental exterior architectural structure juxtaposed to the building of the Palace of the Lisbon Inquisition. After characterizing the architectural structure and analyzing the iconographic program of the ephemeral façade, we intend to justify the attribution of the names of the two main artists involved in its construction and proceed with the identification of possible models of artistic influence. publishersversion published

Desenvolveu um projeto muito específico de construção de uma comunidade cultural luso-brasileira, através da divulgação nas suas páginas de inúmeros textos literários e gravuras de poetas, escritores e artistas portugueses e brasileiros. No entanto, também foi responsável pela edição de outras publicações como álbuns, almanaques e um número extraordinário em 1900. Este ano, em comemoração dos 400 anos da descoberta do Brasil por Pedro Álvares Cabral, o Brasil desenvolveu inúmeras iniciativas para comemorar este momento fundador da história nacional. Neste estudo, analisamos a natureza desta publicação e as características e conteúdos de sua edição que permitiram considerá-la pelo público e pela imprensa da época, tanto um livro, um álbum e um número especial da Revista Brasil- Portugal. publishersversion published

UIDB/04666/2020 UIDP/04666/2020 Reputed professor and psychiatrist, Elysio de Azevedo e Moura divided his professional activity between the academic education at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Coimbra and the clinical practice in the Hospital of the University of Coimbra. Among the countless patients that received medical treatment and clinical support, many benefited from his humanitarianism. While those with low income were exempt from any taxes, the wealthier were compelled to contribute financially to the Asylum for the Destitute Infancy – the current Casa da Infância Doutor Elysio de Moura. From the moment that he took over the assistance institution presidency, in the early 1920’s, Elysio de Moura not only invested his personal and family wealth in the institution, but also sought to obtain financial support from colleagues, students, patients and other citizens. The research main lines to be presented will focus on Elysio de Azevedo e Moura’s personal traits, as a psychiatrist doctor and professor, with the purpose of contextualizing the historical records associated with the long professional career in the field of mental health that were organised in a museum context at the House-Museum of Elysio de Moura. publishersversion published

UIDB/04666/2020 UIDP/04666/2020 No percurso do Budismo Mahāyāna entre a Índia e a China, via Rota da Seda terrestre, a sua mitologia e iconografia alteraram-se. De facto, o Budismo absorveu aspetos religioso-artísticos de outros contextos. Assim, os Lokapalas refletem estas mudanças. Na Índia, migraram do Bramanismo para o Budismo, mantendo atributos prévios, adquiriram uma aura protetora de Siddhartha Gautama e da fé budista. Na Ásia Central, militarizaram-se. Na China, devido à força centrípeta da sua cultura, o Budismo adaptou-se à sua religiosidade. Neste artigo, pretende-se refletir sobre os processos sincréticos, através da análise das transmissões e transformações religiosas que estas figuras sofreram na Rota da Seda. Mahāyāna Buddhism’s mythology and iconography were transformed on their land journey along the Silk Road, from India to China. Buddhism acquired religious and artistic traits from other contexts. Lokapalas are reflective of these changes. These deities always retained original attributes. But in India, their transition from Brahmanism to Buddhism granted them a protective aura of Siddhartha Gautama and the Buddhist faith, whereas in Central Asia and later in China, they were militarized. Other transformations occurred due to the centripetal force of Chinese culture and religious sensitivities. This article explores these syncretic processes, by analyzing the religious and artistic transformations that these figures underwent on the Silk Road toward Tang China. publishersversion published

UID/HIS/00749/2013 UIDB/00749/2020 UIDP/00749/2020 Durante os quarenta e seis anos de governo, o rei D. Dinis promoveu, a par de uma enérgica política governativa e legislativa, da qual resultou a reorganização, o desenvolvimento, o povoamento e o reforço do sistema defensivo do Reino, um importante conjunto de reformas materiais no património palaciano residencial da Coroa. Responsável por um ininterrupto surto construtivo ao longo de todo o seu reinado, o monarca ordenou a construção e a reconstrução de inúmeras residências régias disseminadas pelo Reino – desde Lisboa e Frielas até Coimbra e Estremoz, passando ainda por Leiria, Sintra e Santarém –, para acolher condignamente os múltiplos membros da Família Real e da Corte itinerante, ou simplesmente para receber o monarca durante os seus momentos de lazer e prazer. Porém, muito dos paços reais reformados que testemunham essas prodigiosas campanhas artísticas não sobreviveram até aos dias de hoje, remanescendo somente alguns escassos fragmentos arquitectónicos e registos documentais coevos, ambos salvaguardados em algumas das instituições nacionais. Assim, através do cruzamento das mais diversas e variadas fontes históricas, é nosso propósito proceder à análise e contextualização sistemática das múltiplas fases de intervenção promovidas nos mais diversos paços residenciais dionisínos erguidos em Lisboa e regiões limítrofes, de modo a conhecer os seus programas arquitectónicos e decorativos, executados segundo os modelos estéticos vigentes; identificar as suas necessidades vivenciais e organizativas; e compreender o seu papel no reforço do aparelho de centralização régia e na formação da imagem de um dos monarcas que durante mais tempo conduziu os destinos de Portugal. publishersversion published

UIDB/04666/2020 UIDP/04666/2020 Após sessenta anos de clausura, a abertura provisória do Mosteiro da Cartuxa de Santa Maria Scala Coeli de Évora permitiu apreciar, ao vivo, a arte de um monge-pintor cuja valência possibilitou a constituição de um acervo que não se circunscreve à temática religiosa mas vai muito para além dela. A reflexão proposta pretende pois enunciar parte da produção artística de Frei Miguel a partir de uma sensibilidade vivida em reclusão e traduzida em telas de cunho fortemente contemplativo e luminoso que o tornam num retratista e paisagística fora do comum. Na verdade, a oportunidade única de apreciar algumas das suas composições elaboradas em contexto cartusiano foi o axioma para um debruçar mais abrangente sobre a obra deixada cruzando-se viagem pictórica e religiosa no espaço de uma vida. After sixty years of closure, the provisional opening of the Cartuxa Monastery of Santa Maria Scala Coeli in Évora made possible to appreciate, alive, the art of a monk-painter whose valence enabled the creation of a collection that is not limited to the religious theme but goes far beyond it.The proposed reflection therefore intends to enunciate part of Frei Miguel’s artistic production from a sensitivity lived in reclusion and translated into canvases of a strongly contemplative and luminous nature that make him an unusual portraitist and landscape artist.In fact, the unique opportunity to appreciate some of his compositions elaborated in a Carthusian con-text was the axiom for a more comprehensive look at the work left by crossing a pictorial and religious journey in the space of a lifetime. publishersversion published

UIDB/04666/2020 UIDP/04666/2020 The ancient Mesopotamian religious system found its roots in a human emotional response to experiences within physical reality, whose raison d’être was attributed to numinous entities. The human anxieties before this extraordinary divine power were appeased by the elaboration of mythical-ritual discourses that explained the experiences within a reality controlled by deities. Given that the natural elements were used as “raw material” to create symbolic motifs and metaphors, these religious discourses also constituted a system of knowledge about the reality they were drawn upon. When one investigates Lower Mesopotamia (modern southern Iraq), it becomes obvious the strong impact that changes within its aquatic environment had in the different dimensions of its inhabitants’ everyday life. The abundance but also the menaces within the natural rhythms of fluvial courses, lakes, marshes and of the coastal area of the Arab-Persian Gulf inspired many of the motifs one finds in the above-mentioned religious discourses. The “ever-flowing water”, for instance, was mentioned in literature as an attribute of aquatic deities, who controlled the rivers and the sea; as an iconographic motif to evoke the abundancy within streams; and even applied to cultic objects used in several rituals. The diversity of aquatic motifs can thus allow us to evaluate the importance of Nature to its inhabitant’s emotional/religious constructions in ancient times. Hence, tracing and analyzing Lower Mesopotamian aquatic symbols and metaphors through an interdisciplinary approach, which intertwines the theoretical and methodological apparatus of History of Religions and Environmental History, has a profound potentiality to further the knowledge on this civilization. WATERS, an exploratory project that we have recently elaborated, is thus the materialization of the interdisciplinary work we have been developing together. With this paper, we aim to present the outline of this project, thus contributing to the discussion on nature-culture systems. publishersversion published

Neste artigo, analisamos a forma como a prisão franquista é apresentada em El vano ayer (2004), de Isaac Rosa, tanto como espaço de repressão política como palco da própria História de Espanha, protagonizada por agentes policiais e por detidos. Utilizando conceitos como “lugar de memória”, “memória colectiva”, “memória na literatura” e “literatura enquanto meio de memória cultural”, veremos como a convergência e a divergência de “testemunhos” de diferentes personagens compõem um romance polifónico que pretende destacar a brutalidade das torturas praticadas pelo regime e contribuir para a construção de uma memória histórica alternativa., IBEROAMERICANA.

PTDC/HAR-HIS/28809/2017 This article examines the reputation recovery of Portugal's public debt during the war of liberation against the former Habsburg ruler. Using novel datasets on long- and short-term debt and nominal interest rates, this study provides evidence that the sovereign borrower used debt credibility to build a pact of regime in a revolutionary context with implications for financing the war. The Portuguese kings followed an implicit budget balance rule as a reputational scheme, which made Portugal an exceptional case of military success with a low debt-to-GDP ratio and low interest rates. These conclusions contribute to the literature in various attributes of war finance, debt management, and state-making by showing that default avoidance could be as important to military success as fiscal capacity. publishersversion epub_ahead_of_print

UIDB/04666/2020 UIDP/04666/2020 É inquestionável a importância do mar para a História de Portugal ao longo dos séculos. Através dele, foi feita a circulação humana e de bens materiais, além da conquista territorial que proporcionou a expansão do Império. Igualmente importante era a figura dos homens do mar, muitas vezes chamados de mareantes. Seja nas guerras de conquista ou na faina do pescado, os mareantes tiveram uma representatividade fundamental na presença portuguesa no mundo. Contudo, o mar que garantia para o mareante a sua subsistência, também lhe tirava a vida. Cientes da brevidade da vida para quem trabalha no mar, foram criadas, nas comunidades de mareantes, confrarias laicas cujo objetivo era apoiar material e espiritualmente os seus membros. A Confraria de Bom Jesus de Faro nasceu, no século XV, dessa consciência. A partir de um regimento também conhecido por compromisso, os mareantes de Faro (entenda-se aqui tanto os pescadores como demais profissionais cujas atividades estivessem relacionadas ao mar) buscavam apoio mútuo nos momentos de necessidade, morte ou invalidez de um associado. Na elaboração deste artigo, utilizamos os livros de privilégios da confraria que consistem, essencialmente, dos direitos atribuídos pelos monarcas aos mareantes. A partir da sua análise, é possível perceber a maneira como os mareantes estavam organizados, assim como os laços de sociabilidade e solidariedade criados entre eles. The importance of the sea to the history of Portugal over the centuries is unquestionable. Through the sea, the circulation of human and material goods conducted, in addition to the territorial conquest, thus providing the expansion of the Empire. Equally important was the figure of seafarers, often called seafarers. Whether in the wars of conquest or the work of fish the seafarers had a fundamental representation in the Portuguese presence in the world. However, the sea that guaranteed the seafarer’s livelihood also took his life. Aware of the brevity of life for those who work at sea, they created in communities of seafarers lay brotherhoods whose objective was to support their members materially and spiritually. The Brotherhood of Bom Jesus de Faro was born in the 15th century from this conscience. From a regiment, also known as a compromise, the Faro seafarers (here understood both fishers and other professionals whose activities were related to the sea) sought mutual support in times of need, death, or disability of an associate. In the elaboration of this article, we use the books of privileges of the brotherhood that consist of the rights granted by the monarchs to the seafarers. From their analysis it is possible to understand the way the seafarers organized, as well as the bonds of sociability and solidarity created between them publishersversion published

UIDB/04666/2020 UIDP/04666/2020 The aim of the current article is to present the latest research endeavors dedicated to the hagiographic formulas from which the Protomartyrs of Morocco main artistic forms were conceived during the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern Age in Portugal. Based on the analysis of the main documentary sources and the interpretation of the several artistic collections —mainly composed by reliquaries, paintings, and sculptures— it is possible to gather a set of specific elements to trace the iconographic major themes of the Five Franciscans martyrized in North Africa in 1220. Despite the evolution of devotional manifestations over time, the iconography maintained very conventional procedures, which are still evoked by the Catholic Church publishersversion published

UIDB/04666/2020 UIDP/04666/2020 UIDB/04059/2020 Em meados do século XV, e com o incremento das viagens marítimas europeias, os contactos entre a Europa e o resto do mundo tornaram-se regulares. O barco tornou-se o principal responsável pelas ligações intercontinentais e pela circulação de pessoas e animais, matérias-primas e mercadorias, conhecimento e tecnologias, doenças, agentes patogénicos e práticas de cura.Viagens de longo curso encurtaram distâncias, aproximaram gentes e lugares, tornaram portos e cidades portuárias em espaços privilegiados de contacto, intercâmbio e miscigenação. Na Europa, a localização e natureza híbrida destes espaços, tornava-os propícios à entrada e propagação de doenças até então desconhecidas, exigindo dos poderes locais a criação e implementação de medidas profiláticas e de controlo sanitário.No século XVIII, reflectindo um processo de globalização crescente, estas preocupações extravasaram o espaço europeu. Os territórios coloniais tornaram-se progressivamente espaços de experimentação de medidas de controlo e prevenção. O processo de construção de conhecimento e de práticas médicas beneficiou tanto do desenvolvimento progressivo da ciência médica e prática terapêutica europeia, quanto da incorporação de conhecimentos e práticas não europeias, possibilitada pelos contactos entre povos geográfica e culturalmente diferentes. No Império português, as zonas ribeirinhas emergiram como espaços privilegiados de observação e estudo da construção deste processo, tanto na vertente da identificação e conhecimento de doenças e práticas de cura locais resultantes da interacção com as populações autóctones, quanto na da imposição de práticas biomédicas ligadas à farmacopeia europeia. A situação peculiar destas áreas de interface, mar-terra, permitiu uma melhor percepção do modo como diferentes saberes e práticas se mimetizaram nos diferentes espaços do Império, levando à definição de procedimentos específicos para evitar e/ou controlar a propagação de doenças, sobretudo no caso de epidemias. O mar tornou-se assim, também, veículo de circulação de agentes (humanos e não humanos) que, em determinadas situações, foram centrais, como no caso do programa de erradicação de patologias, viabilizando a reflexão sobre vários aspectos da interacção humano / não humano na construção social das doenças. Se reconhecer uma doença pode ser um processo célere, encontrar causas e tratamentos ou antídotos pode ser moroso e dispendioso, num espaço-tempo marcado por avanços, recuos e realidades díspares que chegam mesmo a comprometera eficácia das soluções encontradas, como atestam os esforços e medidas para conter a actual pandemia COVID-19.Nesta perspectiva, o presente trabalho apresenta uma reflexão sobre a relação das doenças com as áreas litorais apelando também à reflexão sobre a própria “saúde” dos mares, rios e oceanos que não só determinaram e alimentam a sua existência, como contribuíram para gerar novas paisagens e novas relações entre as comunidades humanas e não humanas que as integram, demonstrando a ligação entre os ecossistemas marinhos e costeiros, e a saúde das populações humanas. In the mid-15th century, and with the increase in European sea travels, contacts between Europe and the rest of the world became regular. Ships became primarily responsible for intercontinental connections as well as for the circulation and transport of people and animals, raw materials and goods, knowledge and technology, diseases, pathogens, and healing practices. Long-distance travels shortened distances, brought people and places closer together, made ports and port cities privileged spaces of contact, exchange, and miscegenation. In Europe, the location and the hybrid nature of these spaces made them prone to entry and spread of new diseases, requiring local governments to create and implement prophylactic and health control measures. In the 18th century, reflecting an increasing globalization process, these concerns went far beyond the European universe. Colonial territories have become spaces for experimentation of control and prevention measures.These procedures have been consolidated, participating in a process of construction of medical knowledge and practices that benefited both from the development of European medical and pharmaceutical science, as well as from the incorporation of non-European knowledge and practices, made possible by contacts between geographically and culturally different peoples. In the Portuguese Empire, the coastal areas emerged as privileged spaces for observation and study of the building of this process. In there it was possible to regard identification and knowledge of diseases and local healing practices, resulting from the interaction with the native populations, or regarding the imposition of biomedical practices related to the European pharmacopoeia. The peculiar situation of these sea-land interface areas allowed a better insight into how the interaction between different knowledge and practices was stimulated in the different geographies of the Empire leading to define specific procedures to prevent and/or control spread of diseases, especially in the case of epidemics. Thus the sea also become a vehicle for circulation of agents (human and non-human) that, in certain situations, were central, as in the case of pathologies eradication program, enabling thinking about the various aspects of human/non-human interaction in the social construction of diseases. If recognizing a disease can be a quick process, finding causes and antidotes can be time-consuming and costly, in a space-time marked by advances, setbacks and disparate realities that even compromise the effectiveness of the solutions found, as evidenced by efforts and measures to contain the current COVID-19 pandemic. From this perspective, the true history of diseases in their relationship with coastal areas also calls for a discussion about the “health” of seas, rivers, and oceans that have not only determined and nurtured their existence, but have also contributed to generate new landscapes, and new relationships between human and non-human communities within them, and to demonstrate the link between marine and coastal ecosystems and human populations health. publishersversion published

UIDB/04666/2020 UIDP/04666/2020 This article discusses the debates on the independence of Brazil in the Constituent Cortes of Lisbon in 1821-1822 and its treatment by the Portuguese press of the time and in the following years, analyzing a selection of periodicals both Absolutist and Liberal, and paying particular attention to the humorous periodicals. The departure of the Portuguese royal family to Brazil on the eve of the Peninsular War, the end of colonial monopoly with the opening of some of the Brazilian ports to international trade and the upgrade to “United Kingdom” status set the objective conditions for the independence of Brazil. The new situation was perceived in Portugal as a downgrade of the former colonial power to the status of ‘colony of a colony’ and became a decisive factor of the 1820 Liberal revolution. The Constituent Cortes tried to reverse the irreversible process of Brazil’s emancipation and eventually helped create the subjective conditions for independence both by political clumsiness in handling the “Brazil affairs” and by echoes of that strategy in the press aimed at conquering public opinion with recourse to humor, especially sarcasm, and even downright abuse, before and after the proclamation and the recognition of the new empire. publishersversion published

UIDB/04666/2020 UIDP/04666/2020 The article presents a synthesis of the main stages in the construction of the conceptual entity targeted as hysteria. Several academic papers report historical accounts of hysteria as a long-lasting – although disappeared – disease dating back to Hippocratic evidence. However, both philological research and the history of medicine, together with recent gender studies criticism, suggest that we shall reconsider the very origin of this category, thus questioning the features of its reality conditions across time. An account is given of this revisionism. Hysteria is here presented as a Renaissance product, virtually dismissed by neurologists in the early 1900 but definitively waned only in 1987 and 1993 by WHO resolution, after having moved from neurology to psychiatry. Its history represents a challenging subject in the theme of objective knowledge in science, drawing our attention to the burden of the political choices taken by an epistemic community within knowledge production, legitimation and validation aiming for a scientific understanding of the world. An account is given of the multi-layered construction and shifts of hysteria as a disease within the medical models of understanding, and of its progressive deconstruction over time. publishersversion published

UIDB/04666/2020 UIDP/04666/2020 O século XIX iniciou como tinha terminado o anterior, com as lutas pela independência das colônias americanas face às monarquias coloniais europeias. As ideias de nação e de povo que a constitui, de opinião pública que lhes dá uma identidade conjunta, transpareciam ou davam uma nova consistência à literatura de todos os publicistas liberais dos inícios do ­Oitocentos, isto é, a ligação imediata entre pensamento e ação. Esta ligação era o embasamento do conceito de mudança na nova forma de encarar a política, como saber e como método de compreensão do mundo. A Independência do Brasil no contexto mundial em que aconteceu, contribuiu para a teorização e debate da ideia colonial, de império e imperialismo. Sem pretendermos esgotar o assunto, procuramos estabelecer aqui uma ponte de compreensão entre esse debate na atualidade, e na época em que aconteceu. The 19th century began as the previous one had ended, with the struggles for the independence of the American colonies against the European colonial monarchies. The ideas of the nation and of the people that constitute it, of public opinion that gives them a joint identity, were or gave a new consistency to the literature of all the liberal publicists of the early eight hundred, that is, the immediate link between thought and action. This connection was the basis of the concept of change in the new way of looking at politics, as knowledge and as a method of understanding the world. The independence of Brazil in the world context in which it happened contributed to the theorization and debate of the colonial idea, of empire and imperialism. Without wanting to exhaust the subject it is intended to establish here a bridge of understanding, between this debate today and at the time it happened. publishersversion published
