Sephardic Jewry in Portugal A Program for the Museum of Jewish Heritage We are dedicated to making your experience rich in content and superior in comfort. The Jews of Iberia: This unique travel program combines the expertise and resources of two organizations that cherish the traditions, achievements, and faith of Jewish communities – past and present – around the world. Jewish Heritage Travel SEPHARDIC JEWRY and the Museum of Jewish Heritage are delighted to have the opportunity to share this rich, varied, and poignant history and culture with you on these select trips. We look forward to traveling with you. IN PORTUGAL OCTOBER 23 — NOVEMBER 3, 2019 Program Overview From the Golden Age of Spanish and Portuguese Jewry to the present, the Sephardic community has played a vital role in contributing to Jewish and Western culture. Forming an integral part of medieval Iberia, the Jews of Portugal experienced periods of great creativity, as well as tragedy, until their fateful forced conversion and expulsion in 1497. This 2019 trip to Portugal will bring to life the culture, heritage, and tradition of the Jews of the Iberian Peninsula as we immerse ourselves in the rich culture, vibrancy, and creativity of Sephardic Jewry. Highlights of our tour will include presentations by our accompanying scholar, Professor Ray Scheindlin, songs in Ladino and Hebrew illustrating the material presented, and learning about Judah Abravanel’s “Dialoghi di Amore” (a Jewish, Neoplatonic philosophy of love). Beginning in cosmopolitan, thriving Lisbon, with its newly established Jewish community, our travels will include the bustling city of Oporto, with its medieval Jewish quarter, and Belmonte—a Marrano town, hidden from world Jewry for centuries until rediscovered in the twentieth century. We invite you to join us on this exciting, extraordinary journey and learn about the Jewish heritage, culture, and tradition of this pivotal and important country on the Iberian Peninsula.

  • Hygiea Internationalis
    Regional Dynamics and Social Diversity – Portugal in the 21st Century Teresa Ferreira Rodrigues Introduction hrough its history Portugal always presented regional differences concerning population distribution, as well as fertility and mortality trends. Local T specificities related to life and death levels reflect diverse socioeconomic conditions and also different health coverage. We will try to diagnose the main concerns and future challenges related to those regional differences, using quantitative and qualitative data on demographic trends, well-being average levels and health services offer. We want to demonstrate that this kind of academic researches can be useful to policy makers, helping them: (1) to implement regional directed policies; (2) to reduce internal diversity; and (3) to improve quality of life in the most excluded areas. Our first issue consists in measuring the link between Portuguese modernization and asymmetries on social well-being levels1. Today Portugal faces some modera- tion on population growth rates, a total dependency on migration rates, both exter- nal and internal, as well as aged structures. But national average numbers are totally different from those at a regional level, mainly if using non demographic indicators, such as average living patterns or purchase power2. The paper begins with a short diagnosis on the huge demographic and socioeco- nomic changes of the last decades. In the second part we analyze the extent of the link between those changes and regional convergence on well-being levels. Finally, we try to determine the extent of regional contrasts, their main causes and the rela- tionship between social change and local average wealth standards, as well as the main problems and challenges that will be under discussion in the years to come, in what concerns to health policies.

  • Visit Lisbon, a City of Remarkable Beauty with a Breath-Taking Setting on the River Tagus • See All the Major Historic
    Visit Lisbon, a city of remarkable beauty with a breath-taking setting on the River Tagus See all the major historic monuments in the city & its hinterland Several private visits Museums full of treasures, such as the Gulbenkian Collection & the National Museum The country palaces & villas at Sintra & Queluz are included Central hotel & excellent food in local Quinta de Monserrate, Sintra restaurants There are strong, indeed warm links between the British and Portuguese people, established via many centuries of trade, shared maritime history and royal dynastic links. Lisbon is a city of remarkable beauty with a breath-taking setting on the River Tagus which has long drawn the attentions of other nations and peoples. Scholars argue over whether Lisbon was a Phoenician trading outpost, but it was probably the Romans who first sensed its strategic importance. As ever, this was not lost on the conquering Moors who centuries later absorbed the city (which they called Lishbuna) into their wider territory of Al Andalus. Re-conquered by Christians in 1147, Lisbon eventually became the capital of Portugal in 1255. The city has a remarkable heritage of buildings from these early periods in its history, despite the huge damage inflicted by the earthquake of 1755. In the fifteenth century the city rose to world prominence during the period of the great explorers, beginning with Prince Henry the Navigator’s discoveries. When Vasco da Gama opened up the sea route to India, colonial adventures in the Far East and eventually South America, provided the country with great wealth. However, from 1580 to 1640 Portugal came under Spanish rule, a very unhappy experience, still bitterly remembered by some.

  • The Political History of Nineteenth Century Portugal1
    The Political History of Nineteenth Century Portugal1 Paulo Jorge Fernandes Autónoma University of Lisbon [email protected] Filipe Ribeiro de Meneses National University of Ireland [email protected] Manuel Baiôa CIDEHUS-University of Évora [email protected] Abstract The political history of nineteenth-century Portugal was, for a long time, a neglected subject. Under Salazar's New State it was passed over in favour of earlier periods from which that nationalist regime sought to draw inspiration; subsequent historians preferred to concentrate on social and economic developments to the detriment of the difficult evolution of Portuguese liberalism. This picture is changing, thanks to an awakening of interest in both contemporary topics and political history (although there is no consensus when it comes to defining political history). The aim of this article is to summarise these recent developments in Portuguese historiography for the benefit of an English-language audience. Keywords Nineteenth Century, History, Bibliography, Constitutionalism, Historiography, Liberalism, Political History, Portugal Politics has finally begun to carve out a privileged space at the heart of Portuguese historiography. This ‘invasion’ is a recent phenomenon and can be explained by the gradual acceptance, over the course of two decades, of political history as a genuine specialisation in Portuguese academic circles. This process of scientific and pedagogical renewal has seen a clear focus also on the nineteenth century. Young researchers concentrate their efforts in this field, and publishers are more interested in this kind of works than before. In Portugal, the interest in the 19th century is a reaction against decades of ignorance. Until April 1974, ideological reasons dictated the absence of contemporary history from the secondary school classroom, and even from the university curriculum.

It also undertakes research into the Collection and disseminates it through exhibitions and publications that are intended to serve as works of reference. The Museum has a programme of temporary exhibitions, which either comprise its own pieces or touch upon themes related with the Collection. As the works of art that make up the Collection have been produced by different cultures, the Museum maintains close and privileged relations with international collections. Both the Collection and the museum’s activities are publicised in a variety of ways, either through the Education Department, which develops projects and courses for young people, adolescents, adults and families, or through recourse to the new technologies, paying attention to the updating and improvement of the information provided through the Museum’s website. Its publishing activities are seen as an essential complement to the common aim: to attract more visitors to the Museum, encouraging them to take part in its activities and providing them with greater intellectual enrichment, whether through leisure or study. Temporary exhibitions “The ‘Greek Taste’. The Birth of Neoclassicism in France, 1750-1775” Organised by the Department of Decorative Arts of the Louvre Museum, the exhibition was first presented at the Royal Palace of Madrid, opening at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation on 14 February 2008 and remaining on public display until 4 May.

Abstract Local Adaptation Plans of Action (LAPAs): An analysis of approaches to planning for climate change in Nepal by Pratigya Silwal Adaptation to climate change has become a major focus globally since 2001. In accordance with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) decision in 2001, each least developed country prepared National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA) so that these countries would be able to adapt to the adverse effect of climate change. Concerns were expressed about the local variability of effects and impacts of climate change and hence Local Adaptation Plans of Action (LAPAs) have been developed particularly to address these issues, with Nepal being the pioneer country to do so.
