- Book by Carolina Henriques Pereira
Authored by Carolina Henriques Pereira, a researcher at CHSC, and Fábio Alexandre Faria, the book titled Refugiados em Portugal no Século XX will be available for pre-order starting on October 2th, 2024.
Title: Refugiados em Portugal no Século XX
Synopsis:
Large-scale military conflicts, such as the First World War, the Spanish Civil War, and the Second World War, along with the rise of authoritarian regimes in Europe, forced millions of people to flee their countries and seek refuge in other states. Despite being a small, peripheral country, Portugal played a central role in the history of refugees throughout the 20th century. However, the responses and attitudes of both the Portuguese government and its population varied depending on the prevailing regime (Constitutional Monarchy, First Republic, Military Dictatorship, and Estado Novo), the international context, or the composition of the waves of refugees. Prioritizing order and security above all, Portugal was receptive and welcoming when it deemed that refugees posed no threat. However, it adopted a more rigid, restrictive, and repressive stance whenever refugees were perceived as a danger to the regime and the country. In this look at a past that is more relevant than ever, historians Carolina Henriques Pereira and Fábio Alexandre Faria show us how, from the 1900s to the 1970s, Portugal became a haven of hope for thousands of war-displaced individuals and refugees—though not always with widespread hospitality.
- Book coordinated by Maria Amélia Álvaro de Campos
Coordinated by Maria Amélia Álvaro de Campos, a researcher at the CHSC, and with the participation of several researchers from the Center, Essays on Lay and Ecclesiastical Communities in and Around the Medieval Urban Parish has just been published.
Title: Essays on Lay and Ecclesiastical Communities in and Around the Medieval Urban Parish
Available at: https://monographs.uc.pt/iuc/catalog/book/448
Synopsis:
This book gives a definite contribution to a wide-ranging reflection on the medieval parish and the secular clergy, considered within a long-term chronological framework and a wide geographical scope that allows the analysis and confrontation of case studies from the Iberian kingdoms, Northern France, Italian Piedmont, Lombardy, Flanders, Transylvania, and North of the Holy Roman Empire. The chapters published in this book tells of dynamics of social, religious, and cultural exclusion and inclusion within lay communities, of the constitution of family elites and parish confraternities; it shows the composition and the recruitment rationales of the parish clergy and of some ecclesiastical chapters with a duty of Cura animarum; it examines the relations of the churches and parochial clergy with more prominent – secular and regular – ecclesiastical institutions in the context of the establishment and exercise of the right of patronage; finally, it explores the role of the secular clergy in the application of justice, based on the characterization of their cultural and juridical formation. - Book Diálogos Luso-Sefarditas
Publication of the book Diálogos Luso-Sefarditas (2022), coordinated by António Manuel Lopes Andrade, Saul António Gomes and Maria de Fátima Reis.
This work was published with the collaboration of the Centre of Languages, Literatures and Cultures of the University of Aveiro, the Centre for the History of Society and Culture of the University of Coimbra and the Alberto Benveniste Chair of Sephardic Studies of the University of Lisbon.

Organization and commentary: Miguel Bandeira Jerónimo (UC-CHSC) | Vanda Amaro Dias (UC-CES)
Date: 10 November 2023 | 2 pm – 4 pm
Venue: Anf. VI (FLUC)
Abstract: So far, histories of modern international relations have largely been conceptualized and written with national sovereign state as the basic unit. Crucial to this understanding is the discourse and concept of the International. Particularly after the end of the First World War, the defeat of the German, Austral-Hungary, and Ottoman Empires marked the end of the ‘continental’ empires in Europe with self-determination as a new norm in Europe, which we have understood the new League of Nations championed. Accordingly, the notion, the International, or more precisely the non-socialist/communist version of the International defined the nature of the League in the 1920s and 1930s. Beyond Europe and the Americas, however, the victorious empires, not only the European, but also the Japanese and US empires, continued to hold their diverse range of imperial polities. Until recently these imperial polities had been largely neglected as critical actors in histories of international relations and the discourses of the International had not incorporated them. In this paper, I suggest that the notion of the International as the ideology of the management of world affairs among the liberal empires, which project the League enhanced, with its problems and potentials. Here I refer to my recent works of the League in Asia and Miguel Bandeira Jeronimo’s works in Africa, and how these works to examine lateral relationships across imperial polities would reveal diverse power dynamics which could not be captured and examined within the discourse and concept of the International, and ponder the meaning of the International for historians of international relations as of 2023.

- Crossed knowledge: knowing, remembering, imagining and learning in the city: short training course04 March 2023 - 11 March 2023
In this training session we will present and discuss results of recent and ongoing research on the history of the city of Coimbra, from medieval times to the present day, and the results of a pilot project developed with a high school class in which participatory and collaborative methodologies were applied to co-produce knowledge following a citizen science approach.
The training is part of the initiative “Crossed knowledges: knowing, remembering, imagining and learning in the city“, which was born from the will to value cities as living libraries, where different types of knowledges cross: knowledges of science, of experience, of living, of imagination. Libraries with multiple stories that must also be recognised as a valuable educational resource.
The aim is that cities – and spaces – can be a stage for multiple learning, and for encounters between the university and schools and kindergartens.
Contents: Medieval collegiate societies; territorial and social analysis of parishes; patrimony of the City and the University of Coimbra; Medieval Era; Modern Period; Local History; municipal finances and the University of Coimbra; local power and daily life of the city; affective objects and personal narratives of children’s memories; active listening; personal memory and collective memory; affective map of the community; alterity and diversity; citizen participation; artistic creation; science and art; creativity and critical reflection; environmental anthropology; cultural practices; human rights and cognitive justice; action research; knowledge production and circulation; co-production of knowledge; active learning; context-based learning; collaborative learning communities; engaged citizen social science; citizen science and education.
Methodology: Following the spirit of “crossed knowledges”, we intend to create a space for dialogue between the results of recent research projects of teachers and researchers of the University of Coimbra and the scientific and pedagogical knowledge of educators and teachers from pre-school to secondary school. In this way, the methodology adopted foresees oral presentations, debates and hands-on activities which contribute to the collaborative creation of a manual of good practices in the implementation of citizen science strategies in educational contexts.
Target audience: primary and secondary school teachers, kindergarten teachers
Trainers: Maria Amélia Campos, José Luís Barbosa (CHCS, FLUC), Maria José Ferro (FPCEUC), Jorge Cabrera (DArq, CAPC), Cláudia Pato de Carvalho, Joana Sousa, Denise Esteves, Rita Campos (CES-UC)
This activity is accredited as a Short Training Course by the Nova Ágora Training Centre.

- Episcopal Governance in the Portuguese Seaborne Empire: Praxis, Dynamics and Ideologies, (XV-XX centuries)
Episcopal governance in the Portuguese seaborne empire has received a considerable scholarly attention over the last three decades, but there is still much work to be done. Although bishops in Portuguese overseas influenced the empire’s administration a great deal, both on the strictly religious domain and as state agents, little is known about the profile and thoughts of some of the most influential among them. Even the interconnections between the secular politics and the bishops’ pastoral enterprises, a topic that usually generates interest among scholars, are still to be studied in many spaces and contexts of the Portuguese Empire. Little is known, for example, about the bishops’ pastoral approaches during the so-called “Scramble for Africa”, when the actions of ecclesiastical authorities threw their weight behind secular ruler’s claims regarding sovereignties over disputed territories. In the 20th century, to cite but only a more recent example, almost nothing is known about the participation of the overseas bishops in the Second Vatican Council. It is unknown whether, how and to what extent those prelates tried to influence the Council’s agenda regarding the future of the societies and that of the churches in the Portuguese colonies in Africa. This International Conference aims to address these and other aspects of diocesan administration/governance in the Portuguese empire, laying a special stress on the multiple aspects of the bishops’ pastoral work and their political profile.

- EUROPEAN RESEARCHERS’ NIGHT – PALLOGRAPHY: RESEARCHERS “WITH A PEN and a magnifying glass”
Paleography is a fascinating science created by the French Benedictine Jean Mabillon in 1681. Reading, transcribing and studying how writing has been done over the centuries are part of the private field of action of paleographers. This is how we learn about men and societies. The quill and the magnifying glass, symbolically referred to here, set the tone for NEI’s activity. The public will be invited to see and read documents written with quills (bird, metal, glass), to use magnifying glasses to enlarge letters, and to see materials and instruments used in past centuries (parchment, waxed tablets, quills, styluses…) Bring a magnifying glass!!!

- Inquire, Third Annual Conference: Inquisitions, iconography and memory
The aim of the meeting is to explore the relationship between the tribunals of faith, images and the construction of memory; to analyse the cases in which religious dissent manifested itself in the form of iconoclasm; to better understand the censorship strategies of the Holy Office with regard to images and art objects; and to focus on how these judicial institutions of the Catholic world promoted the representation of heresy, the agents who worked to preserve orthodoxy and the memory of the tribunals themselves. The conference will bring together scholars of the medieval Inquisition and the modern Inquisitions (Spanish, Portuguese and Roman) from all over the world, with a comparative approach that will extend to the history of the courts in the Iberian colonial world.

- Jaime Gouveia, a researcher at the CHSC, distinguished with the CIJVS/2023 Award
Jaime Gouveia, a researcher at the CHSC, was awarded the Engenheiro António de Almeida Foundation Prize, granted by the Research Centre Prof. Dr. Joaquim Veríssimo Serrão, for his article “A assistência médico-hospitalar nos domínios portugueses da África do centro oeste”, to be published next year.
The award will be delivered on May 27, 2023, in the Noble Hall of Santarém City Hall, during the Assembly of Researchers No. 183, commemorating the XI anniversary of CIJVS. - Joaquim de Carvalho Prize: Ana Cristina Araújo21 November 2024
The book Patriotic Resistance and Liberal Revolution 1808-1820, by Ana Cristina Araújo, a researcher at the CHSC, is the winner of the 14th edition of the Joaquim de Carvalho Prize, awarded by the University of Coimbra Press.
The book focuses on the history of politics and ideas and explores the discourses of a time marked by the outbreak and memory of the French Revolution. The author adopts a transnational perspective and shows that the revolutionary temporality, revived by the Napoleonic campaigns in the Iberian Peninsula, was given polysemic and conflicting manifestations. It also explores the converging factors of the peninsular political process and, in the conflictual enunciation of the political field, confirms the permanence of beliefs and symbols deeply rooted in Portuguese society. These aspects context of the early 19th century in Portugal. The book invites us to revisit and critically review key issues and comes as part of the evocation of the Bicentenary of the 1820 Revolution and Constitutionalism.
The award ceremony will take place on December 18, 2023, at 12 noon, in the Senate Room of the University of Coimbra.

- New book António Resende de Oliveira e João Gouveia Monteiro21 November 2024
Portugal Medieval: do Condado ao Império (1096-1495) is the title of the book by António Resende de Oliveira and João Gouveia Monteiro, both researchers at the CHSC.
–
–
Abstract:
“This book is a didactic overview of Portuguese medieval history, from the early days of the founding of the County of Portucalense to the beginning of the Renaissance and the great adventure of the Discoveries with the construction of an overseas empire.
Since it covers such a broad chronology (1096-1495), it was considered preferable to focus the narrative mainly on political events that will make it easier for readers to understand the most important moments in the formation of the kingdom of Portugal and its territory, in the construction of the state, and in its development and expansion. However, the most important aspects of the economic and social context have not been forgotten, and special attention has been paid to culture. In all the chapters, Portuguese medieval history is placed in the Iberian context.
To support the account, serve as a basis for future research and respect the didactic spirit of the work, an extensive bibliography is also included, as well as an extensive chronology, a table of the Kings of Portugal, a glossary and a wide range of illustrations and explanatory maps.”

- New book Jaime Gouveia21 November 2024
História da Federação dos Bombeiros do Distrito do Porto (1975-2023) is the title of the new book by Jaime Ricardo Gouveia, a researcher at CHSC. The book will be presented on November 18, 2023, at 10 a.m., at the headquarters of the Federation of Firefighters of the District of Porto.
–
–
Abstract:
This book is the first history of a Fire Brigades Federation. Using sources of various kinds, scattered throughout several archives, it reconstructs the main stages of the constitution and organization of this institution, from its beginnings to the present day, examining the time when Federations were set up, the period when they became official and functioned as a body of the Portuguese Fire Brigades League, and the time when they existed as an administratively and financially autonomous institution. Their structures and organizations are also studied; their statutory paths; the composition of the federative structure; the duties and powers of the governing bodies, managing bodies, advisors and delegates. The administration and financial management sector is also explored, as well as the Institution’s various initiatives and partnerships, namely communication and information actions, collaborative, training, competitive, representation and distinction and tribute actions.
- New book João Gouveia Monteiro21 November 2024
History of Religions: from the origin of the gods to the religions of the future is the title of the new book coordinated by João Gouveia Monteiro, a researcher at CHSC.

–
Abstract
This book is a journey. And “to travel is to be alive”Where will we travel? Through a geography that stretches from Scandinavia to Africa and from Brazil to China, with its epicenter in the Fertile Crescent region. The chronology begins in the third millennium B.C. It’s amazing how much influence these religious traditions have had on our culture. Think of the ideas of the Last Judgement, resurrection and Paradise.
Or the revivals to which some of them have given rise, as in the case of the Celtic and Scandinavian worldviews, with their celebration of Nature, visible in Tolkien’s work. Who doesn’t know The Lord of the Rings?
In the first part, six ancient polytheisms are presented: ethnic religions (with examples from Mozambique and Brazil); the religions of Mesopotamia (especially Sumer); the fabulous religion of Ancient Egypt; the cases of the Celts and the Nordics; and the religions of Ancient Greece and Rome, the seeds of the idea of Europe. There is also a chapter on Zoroastrianism – the dual monotheism that was the official religion of Persia for twelve centuries.
In the second part, an experienced hand gives us a preview of the religious models of the future: the theocratic; the official national religion; the radical secular; and the multi-religious. The third part is dedicated to Taoism, the spiritual jewel of Ancient China. Laozi’s Tao Te Ching is, after the Bible, one of the most translated books in the world. Its continuator, Zhuangzi, has also amazed many Western thinkers, from Heraclitus to Heidegger.
It’s worth the experience of reading it. As Tolkien wrote, “not all who wander are lost”. We have therefore produced a rigorous and very didactic work. Come on board with us, because – as Eduardo Lourenço used to say – “the journey is more important than the destination”!

- Seminar reformART. Art and Image in the Modern Age: Research Challenges (2023/2024)
The aim of the reformART Seminar is to discuss the importance of visual and material culture in the construction, transfer and reception, on a global scale, of concepts, discourses and ideas stimulated by the religious reforms of the Modern Age. It aims to contribute to understanding, in different eras, geographies and contexts, the way in which art and the image conformed to the new spirituality and the dynamics of evangelization in modernity.
Encouraging interdisciplinary approaches, in areas such as History, Art History, Music or Literature, it favors the application of exegesis and visual hermeneutics as starting points for the analysis of spaces and equipment, plastic forms and models of representation, in their multiple forms and declinations.
With two sessions each academic year, the reformART Seminar is aimed at presenting and critically debating the results of up-to-date and innovative research.
