(courtesy of the artist) Kanimambo | 1998 | Ângela Ferreira (courtesy of the artist) WAITING FOR THE 1 NEXT FUTURE Margarida Calafate Ribeiro An inaptly christened “return of the colonial past” has emerged in the last few years in Europe and in Portugal. In Portugal this is a past that has been more or less silenced since decolonization and the revolutionary period of 1974-75 with its movements of people, including the so-called ‘return’ of settlers, officials and military personnel from the former African colonies. That was the end of an era for Portugal and the beginning of another. Afterwards, apart from novels that narrated the realities of the Colonial War, silence was the watchword of the 1980s and 1990s regarding this recent Portuguese past. memoirs.ces.uc.pt WAITING FOR THE NEXT FUTURE What we are seeing now is, though, not really the return of the colonial past, but the beginning of a debate between the time of colonial domination and contemporary social relations in societies that have inherited these colonial pasts in Europe. Whether these debates are about a continued European colonial outlook, about public recognition of the memory of slavery and colonialism, about ethnic and racial discrimination, about the place of religion, about Islam in Europe or the contours of secularism, or about the drama of refugees in the Mediterranean, it is always the freight of Portuguese and European colonial history that is measured, probed, and assessed. -

Portuguese History Storyboard
Portuguese history storyboard Cláudia Martins [email protected] Instituto Politécnico de Bragança Escola Superior de Educação Abstract This paper intends to present relevant facts about the Portuguese culture and history, so as to enable a better understanding of who the Portuguese are and provide an overall perspective of the course of history in this westernmost part of Europe. Although the choice of historical facts was subjective by nature, it is believed it achieves the aim of presenting information in a critical but blithesome way, with a view to also deconstructing national stereotypes, such as that Portuguese people are always late or are crazy about football. Finally, it focuses on some information about the Portuguese language mainly to serve as a term of comparison with other European languages. Keywords: Portuguese culture, Portuguese language, historical facts, national symbols and icons. Introduction This paper starts with providing a brief introduction to Portugal, by focusing on general information about aspects such as our governmental system and suffrage, national languages, territory and climate, literacy and education, and national 146 Elisabete Silva, Clarisse Pais, Luís S.

Violence and Invisibility During Salazarism
VIOLENCE AND INVISIBILITY DURING SALAZARISM THE POLITICS OF VISIBILITY THROUGH THE FILMS 48 AND O ALAR DA REDE SOFIA LOPES BORGES MPHIL 2017 SUPERVISORS: DR. JULIA NG AND DR. ROS GRAY CENTRE FOR CULTURAL STUDIES GOLDSMITHS COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON SUPPORTED BY: FCT — PORTUGUESE FOUNDATION FOR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DECLARATION OF AUTHORSHIP 2 I, Sofia Lopes Borges, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Date: November 9, 2017 Signed: 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 3 I am grateful to Dr. Julia Ng, who walked me through this project particularly during the initial stages, and then to Dr. Ros Gray who also guided me to completion with insight. I am most indebted to my loVe, Stéphane Blumer for his patience and graciousness in assisting and encouraging me throughout the course of this research. 3 ABSTRACT 4 This inVestigation analyses the relations uniting the long endurance of the Salazarist dictatorship in Portugal and the political processes of its cryptic Violence. Departing from the differentiation between different types of Violence, this thesis shows that structural Violence was used intentionally by the regime within the limits of a spectrum of Visibility, in an effort to create its own normalisation. This research examines the mechanism and manifestation of both direct and structural Violence through a study of different filmic data. Film serVed as key propaganda medium for the regime, holding together the concealment of direct Violence and generating structural Violence. Undermining this authoritarian gesture, this enquiry further explores the deVice of Visibility, intrinsic to filmic material, which challenges the Portuguese regime's politics of self-censorship. -

2 | DOURO DOURO | 3 When arriving at the Douro, you are suddenly invaded by a sense of plenitude, inspired by the stunning beauty of the even terraces and the idyllic tranquility that sur- rounds you. You’re always welcomed with a smile, and the warmth is immediately evident on how you’re gree- ted at the charming hotel facilities, the gastronomic de- licacies you’re offered and the full-bodied wines you’re served. A unique sensory experience you’ll want to fully enjoy and that makes you wish to never leave! The Douro unparalleled beauty has sharpened the cre- ativity of well-known poets and writers and served as source of inspiration to Guerra Junqueiro, Miguel Torga, Eça de Queirós, João de Araújo Correia or Aquilino Ribeiro, among others. On their opus, the tribute to the Douro fertile lands and people’s hard work is always present, which also allows for the discovery of this bewi- tching region through reading. Imagine yourself on a sunny afternoon, sitting beside a swimming pool with one of these authors’ literary work on one hand and a glass of Port Wine on the other, overlooking the per- fectly arranged vines on the verdant slopes... What a heavenly picture! “At the Douro, the wine is a common memory, the lead- ing thread of generations. The wine is present in the most indelible way: in the people’s feelings and conscious- ness. But it also reigns over the landscape, on those formidable terraces that, uphill, ended up shaping and moulding it.”, António Barreto, in “Douro” 4 | DOURO DOURO | 5 Index ThE ORIGIns 6 MAJOR ROUTEs 32 1. -

Dom Afonso had a military career. In fact, he was a general of some considerable competence in the Portuguese Army, where, previously, he had been the inspector-general of artillery. His exemplary military background allowed him to be chosen to command military forces at Goa, at the end of the nineteenth century, when he was, concurrently, Viceroy of India. His performance in India motivated his nomination to be Constable of Portugal. In the early months of 1890, his engagement to Archduchess Marie Valerie of Austria was publicised, but later she refused to married him, under the influence of her aunt by marriage, Archduchess Maria Theresa of Austria, of the Miguelist branch of the Braganza Dynasty. Dom Afonso was a lady's man, known for his kindness, simplicity, and bon-vivant lifestyle. For instance, he liked to act as a fireman with the Ajuda Fire Corps near the Palace of Ajuda, which he patronized as honorary commander-in-chief. He lived at the Palace of Ajuda with the Queen Mother, Maria Pia of Savoy, after King Luis's death. (His brother, the king, Carlos, and, later, his nephew, the king, Manuel II, both lived at the Palace of Necessidades during their reigns.) Dom Afonso was also a lover of automobile races, and he was responsible for the first motor races in Portugal, where he was one of the first drivers. After the proclamation of the Portuguese First Republic in 1910, Afonso went into exile abroad, first at Gibraltar with his nephew, the deposed king, Manuel II, and afterwards to Italy with his mother, Queen Maria Pia. -
Notas De Arqueologia, Epigrafia E Toponímia – III
Notas de arqueologia, epigrafia e toponímia – III JORGE DE ALARCÃO RESUMODiscute-se a identificação de alguns lugares da Lusitânia mencionados pelas fontes clássicas (Portus Hannibalis, Laccobriga, Statio Sacra, Merobriga, Portucale) ou conhecidos atra- vés de legendas monetárias (Cilpes, Ipses). Acrescentam-se uma nota sobre Conimbriga do século V d.C. e sobre os atuns que, segundo Políbio e Estrabão, se alimentavam de bolota. ABSTRACTFollowing some notes on archaeology, epigraphy and toponymy of Roman Portugal published in previous issues of Revista Portuguesa de Arqueologia, the location of Cilpes, Portus Hannibalis, Laccobriga, Ipses, Statio Sacra, Merobriga andPortucale is here discussed. These sites are known from ancient literary sources or coins but their location is still open to debate. Short notes are added on Conimbriga in the 5th century and on tunnies which, accordingly to Polybius and Strabo, fed on acorns. Destas Notas de Arqueologia, Epigrafia e Toponímia, já publicámos dois fascículos, em núme- ros anteriores desta mesma revista, que agora acolhe o terceiro bloco de apontamentos. As nossas notas correspondem a revisões de pequenos (às vezes mínimos) problemas. Não trarão novos dados, mas diferentes interpretações de dados já conhecidos — ou novas deduções feitas a partir de dados que se não contestam. O que nos move não é o desejo de sermos diferentes (por vezes, diferentes de nós mesmos ou desdizentes do que anteriormente afirmámos). A nossa intenção é a de manter como problemáticos e necessitados de discussão certos “conhecimen- tos” que por vezes se dão como definitivamente adquiridos. Se é certo que a história (como conhecimento do que foi sucedido) se vai construindo também com dados e deduções indis- putáveis, muito do que dizemos (todos nós, arqueólogos e historiadores) não só é susceptível de acrescentos e aprofundamentos, como de revisões.
