On the one hand, there was the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the revolu- tion of 25 April 1974, a foundational moment in our democracy, whose signs of freedom and liberation from the longest dictatorship in Western Europe helped to build the legitimate expectation of Portugal becoming a modern state integrated into a plural Europe founded on principles of solidarity. On the other hand, we also reached the end of the programme of financial assistance afforded to our country, which had begun in 2011 and had imposed so many restraints on our economic and social policy. Thus, in 2014, just as had happened in 1974, Portugal was once again given the oppor- tunity to correct its endogenous difficulties at the same time as it asserted its position in Europe alongside those other nations with which it shares the same essential values of equa- lity and solidarity. Despite the uncertain times that we continue to live in, our desire con- tinues to be the creation of conditions that will permit a more open vision of Europe, one that favours economic growth and internal cohesion, without ever overlooking the specific problems that afflict the so-called peripheral countries. We cannot, however, ignore the fact that, despite the different internal circumstances that exist within each of the Member States, the European Union is currently living through its most serious crisis yet and simultaneously witnessing the progressive alienation of its citizens. The Europe of Nations calls for more solidarity, more legitimacy and more Europe. The viability of the European social model, as well as the alarming levels reached by youth unemployment and long-term unemployment, are central questions that are determining the future of our continent. It is hoped that the forthcoming European Parliamentary Elec- tions will enable us to contribute to strengthening the leading role played by the only insti- tution to be directly elected by its citizens, leading to a convergence of the dual legitimacy of the European project that is to be found both in the citizens and in the States themselves. As civil society organisations, foundations are called upon to perform an ever more active role in the development of the societies to which they belong, and it is their duty to be able to mobilise the other social actors, whose collective performance ultimately depends upon the success of their intervention. For this reason, at such a dramatic time for our coun- try, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation continued to honour its commitments towards Portugal, without ever abandoning its international responsibilities. More than ever before, it is the duty of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation to play a proactive role within civil society, above all protecting its most vulnerable groups, promo- ting the adoption of effective and innovative solutions. A democratic society necessitates a more inclusive community. The role of the State and the organisation of the public sector also merit the full attention of civil society, whose organisations must use their influence and their power to mobilise other forces, motivating the academic world to produce the knowledge needed to ensure that the policymakers adopt more sustainable strategies and more desirable processes. 12 ANNUAL REPORT CALOUSTE GULBENKIAN 2013 FOUNDATION The control of public expenditure and the redimensioning of the State are fundamental concerns that therefore have to be seen within the context of our model of social develop- ment, based on the principles of justice and social cohesion. The social contract must give special privilege to ensuring solidarity among everyone, and we must all be called upon to make our contribution to a fairer and more egalitarian society, in keeping with a logic that seeks to safeguard justice both between generations and in terms of employment. Trust and hope are two essential pillars for the good functioning of any democratic society, and we cannot allow either of them to be missing, lest we endanger the very idea that we have of democracy and society. During 2013, the Foundation continued to honour the legacy of its Founder, taking full advantage of its central structures, which are endowed with highly-skilled collabora- tors of unsurpassable professional dedication. With the publication of this report, those who benefit from the Foundation’s activity will be able to assess our performance and the impact of our intervention, as well as to contextualise the reasons that justify our doing precisely what we do. The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation enjoys a privileged field of action, which both enables it to take risks and to think ahead in the long term, a situation that brings with it added responsibility. We regard this responsibility that we have as an incentive to do more, in an ever more professional and transparent manner. I hope that the reading of this report will help people to recognise the dedication and motivation that the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation devotes to those who justify our existence. artur santos silva april 2014 Activities Activities OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT I.

  • Contradictions of the Estado Novo in the Modernisation of Portugal: Design and Designers in the 1940'S and 50'S
    “Design Policies: Between Dictatorship and Resistance” | December 2015 Edition CONTRADICTIONS OF THE ESTADO NOVO IN THE MODERNISATION OF PORTUGAL: DESIGN AND DESIGNERS IN THE 1940'S AND 50'S Helena Barbosa, Universidade de Aveiro ABSTRACT The period of Portuguese history known as the Estado Novo (1933-1974) presents a series of contradictions as regards the directives issued, possibly resulting from a lack of political cohesion. Considering the dichotomy between modernization and tradition that existed between the 1940s and ‘50s, and the obvious validity of the government’s actions, this paper aims to demonstrate the contradictory attitudes towards the modernization of the country via different routes, highlighting the role of ‘designers’ as silent interlocutors and agents of change in this process. Various documents are analysed, some published under the auspices of the Estado Novo, others in the public sphere, in order to reveal the various partnerships that were in operation and the contrasting attitudes towards the government at the time. Other activities taking place in the period are also analysed, both those arising from state initiatives and others that were antithetical to it. The paper reveals the need to break with the political power in order to promote artistic and cultural interests, and describes initiatives designed to promote industry in the country, some launched by the Estado Novo, others by companies. It focuses upon the teaching of art, which later gave rise to the teaching of design, and on the presence of other institutions and organizations that contributed to the modernization of Portugal, in some cases by mounting exhibitions in Portugal and abroad, as well as other artistic activities such as graphic design, product design and interior decoration, referring to the respective designers, artefacts and spaces.

Ferreira Follow this and additional works at: https://vc.bridgew.edu/jcvs Part of the Critical and Cultural Studies Commons, and the International and Area Studies Commons This item is available as part of Virtual Commons, the open-access institutional repository of Bridgewater State University, Bridgewater, Massachusetts. © 2019 Eunice S. Ferreira Cape Verdean Theatre: Enacting Political Theory and Reclaiming Roots for Crioulo Performance by Eunice S. Ferreira Abstract Shining a spotlight on the Cape Verde Islands illuminates the rich diversity of theatre of the African diaspora and places its unique crioulo identity and creole identities in general, center stage. This article focuses on the post-independence theatre movement in Cape Verde where the re-Africanization theories of Amílcar Cabral (assassinated PAIGC leader in Cape Verde’s liberation struggle) shaped national identity and guided the pioneering work of theatre troupe Korda Kaoberdi (Wake up, Cape Verde). Under the dynamic leadership of Francisco Gomes Fragoso, a medical doctor who adopted the artistic name of Kwame Kondé, the troupe Korda Kaoberdi sought to create “a genuinely Cape Verdean and authentically African theatre.” Armed with the tenets of Cabral’s political theory, Fragoso reclaimed performance traditions that had been suppressed during Portuguese colonialism in order to train actors as combatants in cultural warfare. In doing so, Fragoso positioned the fledgling theatre artists of Korda Kaoberdi alongside the freedom fighters, asserting as Cabral did that culture is a weapon and sign of liberation. The author offers first-ever reconstructions of their historical productions based on archival research, Fragoso’s own writings, festival participant-observations, and personal interviews.

  • Aber Der Richtige
    Richard Strauss Aber der Richtige... Violin Concerto Miniatures Arabella Steinbacher WDR Symphony Orchestra Lawrence Foster Maybe it is because of my name, which my parents gave me as great Strauss lovers, that his music touches me so much. Born into a world full of singing, as a child I used to sit under the grand piano in my "music cave" while my father rehearsed with singers. The famous duet from Arabella, which my parents engraved in our banisters, has accompanied me since I can remember. This duet was finally the impetus to record an album with only works by Richard Strauss. Of course, even if the sung lyrics are missing, I have dared to sing these songs on my violin and hope that singers will forgive me. I hope you enjoy traveling through this Romantic sound world.

  • The Portuguese Contemporary Art As an Investment
    A Work Project presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Masters Degree in Economics from the NOVA – School of Business and Economics THE PORTUGUESE CONTEMPORARY ART AS AN INVESTMENT NUNO FILIPE BORREGO ANTUNES (649) A Work Project, under the supervision of: Miguel Lebre de Freitas Luís Catela Nunes January 7, 2015 THE PORTUGUESE CONTEMPORARY ART AS AN INVESTMENT Abstract In this paper we investigate what drives the prices of Portuguese contemporary art at auction and explore the potential of art as an asset. Based on a hedonic prices model we construct an Art Price Index as a proxy for the Portuguese contemporary art market over the period of 1994 to 2014. A performance analysis suggests that art underperforms the S&P500 but overperforms the Portuguese stock market and American Government bonds. However, It does it at the cost of higher risk. Results also show that art as low correlation with financial markets, evidencing some potential in risk mitigation when added to traditional equity portfolios. Keywords: Art; Finance; Investment; Returns 2 I. Introduction On May 2013 Francis Bacon’s triptych “Three Studies of Lucian Freud” rampaged the international art market by setting a new record on the most expensive painting sold at auction. The auction, held by Christie’s in New York, last less than six minutes, time enough to hammer at the astonishing price of $142.4 million. In 2007, Sotheby’s on behalf of David Rockefeller1 sold the “White Center” (1957), an abstract and three color-based painting by Mark Rothko for $72.84 million, piece that was bought in 1960 for less than ten thousand dollars.
