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.

- 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.

- 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.

Research in Medieval Studies (RiMS) 2023: Domestic interiors and household consumption in Europe, 1000-1500
RiMS (Research in Medieval Studies) is a series of annual meetings with the aim of bringing together researchers from different academic and geographical backgrounds to open up and/or continue and guide the historiographical debate on central issues in medieval studies, while at the same time helping to develop cutting-edge, innovative and comparative research. The 4th RiMS meeting, to be held in Braga at the University of Minho, will focus on the theme of domestic spaces and consumption in Europe between the 11th and 15th centuries, a period in which domestic objects multiplied and increasingly served as indicators of economic and social power.
