1 About CHAM The Portuguese Centre for Humanities (CHAM) is an inter-University research unit of the Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa and of the Universidade dos Açores, funded by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia. CHAM’s team includes researchers from different disciplinary fields (Archaeology, Art History, Heritage, Literature, Philosophy and History of ideas), different domains of History (Economic, Cultural, Political, Social, Religious, History of Science and History of books and reading practices) and specialists from various geographic spaces. From 2015 to 2020, CHAM’s strategic project is focused on “frontiers”. This multi-disciplinary project considers frontiers as limits that distinguished, throughout history, a plurality of societies and cultures, but also as social and cultural constructs that promoted communication and interaction. http://www.cham.fcsh.unl.pt Executive Committee Alice Santiago Faria Ana Catarina Garcia Antonieta Reis Leite Cristina Brito Francisco Zamora Rodríguez José Bettencourt Nunziatella Alessandrini Roberta Stumpf Scientific Committee Alberto Baena Zapatero (Universidade Federal de Goiás, Brazil) Amélia Polónia (CITCEM, Portugal) Cristina Brito (CHAM) Francesco Guidi Bruscoli (Università di Firenze, Italy) João Paulo Oliveira e Costa (CHAM) John Mack (British Museum, UK) Leos Müller (Maritime History and Cemas (Centre for Maritime Studies), Sweden) Luca Lo Basso (Università di Genova, Laboratorio di Storia Marittima e Navale (NavLab), Italy) Margarida Machado (CHAM) Poul Holm (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) Xabier Lamikiz (Universidad del País Vasco, Spain) Xavier Nieto (Cádiz University, Spain) Sponsors We are grateful to FCT, Fundação Oriente, Instituto Cervantes Lisboa ,Associação Para as Ciências do Mar (APCM), Associação Bandeira Azul da Europa and SANA Hotels for their financial and logistic support.

After the success of the first and second editions and great response we received, we are now proud to affirm that these conferences are a permanent space for dialogue on questions related to global history and the current historiographical issues and challenges. We are certain that this conference will represent an important moment for exchange and dissemination of innovative research in themes such as ocean and maritime history, culture and heritage, people and spaces. On behalf of the Board of Directors of CHAM, I would like to welcome you and hope you will feel at home with us during this conference. CHAM – Centre for the Humanities – comprises a large number of researchers, including full-time researchers and affiliated doctoral students, with numerous post-doc fellows from Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, UK, The Netherlands, Brazil and the United States. In addition, CHAM is involved in numerous national and international research projects and networks. We invite you to visit our centre during your stay to become better acquainted with our research and dissemination activities, our publications and our staff. Finally, I would like to wish you an excellent stay in Lisbon, a city that is open to the sea and to relations between people, always welcoming visitors, a true meeting point between world cultures and geographies. João Paulo Oliveira e Costa Director of CHAM http://www.cham.fcsh.unl.pt/ 5 The UNESCO Chair “The Ocean’s Cultural Heritage” Research, education and dissemination of tangible and intangible cultural and natural heritage of the sea are the objectives of this UNESCO Chair. The UNESCO Chair “The Ocean’s Cultural Heritage” held by NOVA University of Lisbon was launched in 2016 having as main research objectives, education and dissemination of tangible and intangible cultural and natural heritage of the sea. It is supported on a transatlantic network, following the UNESCO spirit of international cooperation, involving States parties from Europe to Africa and America, to raise institutional, academic and public awareness towards the oceans heritage. This network includes Cabo Verde University and the Institute of Heritage and Culture (Cape Verde), Cadiz University (Spain), Campinas University (Brazil), University del Norte (Colombia), Trinity College Dublin (Ireland), Cascais and Angra do Heroísmo Municipalities (Portugal), Portuguese National Commission for UNESCO (Portugal), DGPC – General Directorate of Cultural Heritage (Portugal), and the NGOs APCM – Maritime Sciences Association and OMA – Azores Ocean Observatory (Portugal). The Chair is led by Professor João Paulo Oliveira e Costa from CHAM – Centre for the Humanities. It also includes other research units from NOVA: IELT – Institute for the Study of Literature and Tradition, IEM – Institute for Medieval Studies and IHC – Institute of Contemporary History. Projects in oceanic history, cultures and societies, environment management, are to be developed within the framework of underwater archaeology, maritime cultural landscapes and marine environmental history. These themes are part of the current international agendas for science, development and cooperation, and the UNESCO Chairs programme offers the adequate background for the establishment of contacts and new integrated projects. Focused on the Atlantic, this network will comply with the United Nations millennium development goals: developing global partnerships for the promotion of gender equality and empower women, sharing experiences among partners of different institutions, collecting information regarding tangible and intangible heritage and identifying, developing and enforcing risk assessments regarding this vulnerable heritage.

Home of different ecosystems and of plentiful resources, in the offshore waters of the world oceans and in the nearby shores of all continents, sources of food were found and exploited, new industries, cities and ports were established and developed, different ways of communication and transfer of people, products and knowledge were created and explored. Humans throughout time and geographies, by exploring the oceans and coastal regions, have produced new technical competences, new political and social strategies, new systems of exchange and circulation, new cultures and ways of living, and new worldviews. And by doing so, have created a panoply of historical, cultural and natural models that can nowadays be perceived and analysed in a multitude of perspectives. The presence of the sea in human societies and the use of sea by people have produced both tangible and intangible heritage, impacts and memories, that can help us understand the historical relation of people and the sea and shape its legacy for future generations. The III CHAM International Conference follows the main strategic scientific project of CHAM – Frontiers – also encompassing the global objectives of the UNESCO CHAIR “The Cultural Oceans’ Heritage” held by Universidade NOVA de Lisboa. In this conference a multidisplinary and integrative approach to the main theme “Oceans and shores: Heritage, people and environments” will be encouraged, allowing the presentation of worldwide scientific novelty, the discussion of comparative narratives and the implementation of complementary methodologies, with impacts in distinct fields of science and of the society. Scholars were invited to submit panel proposals on the following themes: · Historiography and new methodological approaches · Best practices and multidisciplinary research · The sea in ocean history
