    Research project: One head, three mitres. The episcopal action of D. João Franco de Oliveira between Luanda, Salvador and Miranda do Douro (1687-1715)

    This project seeks to understand the episcopal action of D. João Franco de Oliveira in three distinct spaces, the overseas dioceses of Angola and Bahia and the reinol Miranda do Douro between the years 1687 and 1715. We intend to examine the adaptability of the pastoral action, the way he governed these populations, how he applied the instruments of social discipline, the reach and effectiveness of these measures, and how these populations interpreted, assimilated, resigned or resisted the episcopal action. Finally, we will investigate the possible relations of collaboration between this prelate, who came from the ranks of the Inquisition, and the Portuguese Holy Office.

    Research period: Ediana Mendes will be a visiting researcher and will develop her research project between January and December 2023.

    Research project: Nation-State, Empire, Federation? The Role of Other State Models in Ottoman Constitutional Politics, 1908-1918.

    This dissertation examines the influence of three different state models – the French Republic, the British Empire, and the Austro-Hungarian federation – on Ottoman politics following the constitutional revolution of 1908. Through an analysis of Ottoman state documents and of a variety of printed publications in Ottoman Turkish, it highlights the overlapping and sometimes contradictory ways in which these three models shaped public debate and legislation regarding three key elements of the emerging Ottoman constitutional order: elections, conscription, and provincial administration.

    Research period: Patrick Schilling will be a visiting researcher at CHSC until June 2025.

    Research project: Secular clergy and lay confraternal experiences: social disciplining in Portuguese Atlantic brotherhoods (Salvador-Luanda / 17th – 18th centuries)

    This project aims to study, from a perspective that values the connections between different Atlantic spaces, the actions of the secular clergy and the faithful in the promotion and maintenance of lay brotherhoods, seeking to identify the strategies adopted by the secular clergy, aiming at social discipline, and how the different lay groups received, adapted or reacted to this process. The approach will start from the examination of a particular clipping focused on the brotherhoods formed by Africans and their descendants that functioned in different political and religious centers of the Portuguese Empire between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

    Research period: December 2022 – December 2023
