LGBTQ+ Intimacies in Southern Europe
This Open Access book argues that Southern European countries offer valuable, though historically overlooked, knowledge regarding intimate citizenship. Guided by the fundamental sociological question of how change takes place and, concomitantly, how law and social policy adjust to and/or shape the practices and expectations of individuals in the sphere of intimacy, this edited volume explores partnering, parenting and friendship issues from the perspective of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer people in Italy, Portugal and Spain. Chapters offer a cross-national understanding of the relationship between everyday practices of intimacy amongst LGBTQ people and national legal, political and policy contexts in terms of the recognition of otherwise ‘intimate strangers’. The book contributes to further theoretical and policy debates about citizenship, care and choice, as well as, more broadly, sexuality, welfare, health and justice. This book will be of interest to scholars across Gender and Feminist Studies as well as Citizenship Studies, Law, Policy, and Politics.
The Portuguese Colonial War and the African Liberation Struggles
The Portuguese Colonial War and the African Liberation Struggles: Memory, Politics and Uses of the Past presents a critical and comparative analysis on the memory of the colonial and liberation wars that led to a regime change in Portugal and to the independence of five new African countries: Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, and São Tomé and Príncipe. Covering more than six decades and based on original archival research and critical analysis of sources and interviews, the book offers the first plural account of the public memorialisation of this contested past in Portugal and in former colonised territories in Africa, focussing on diachronic and synchronic processes of mnem...
Atlas of the Food System
This book is a visual guide to the territorial dynamics operating within a territory. The reading of such dynamics is fundamental in understanding the role of food in cities. This atlas provides a refreshing approach to the study of the city and of its territory, expanded from the perspective of the food system. This book illustrates the impacts of urban planning options on the function of the contemporary Food System of the Lisbon Region, while disclosing its associated urban form solutions. It provides a possible methodology for the reading of the food system based on an analysis of planning instruments and their morphological outcomes, both in the territory but also on the various built f...
Feminismos: Percursos e Desafios
Manuela Tavares, investigadora da Universidade Aberta, faz a História dos Movimentos Feministas em Portugal no último século, a primeira publicação de fundo, nesta área. Do Estado Novo, em que a ideologia dominante impunha a submissão das mulheres, ao dogmatismo das esquerdas políticas, que não souberam captar a pluralidade dos feminismos e as contradições de género na sociedade.
O Essencial sobre As Três Marias
«Maria Isabel Barreno, Maria Teresa Horta e Maria Velho da Costa escreveram Novas Cartas Portuguesas, uma das obras mais indecorosas da literatura portuguesa, tão inovadora quanto necessária num contexto histórico-cultural particularmente entorpecido. Nela as três escritoras desfloraram mitos, desaconchegaram leis de género e fizeram o escrutínio de assuntos da sociedade portuguesa da época (da condição da mulher portuguesa à Guerra Colonial). As três autoras ficaram conhecidas, nacional e internacionalmente, como as Três Marias, mas a aglutinação dos seus nomes não suprime as suas diferenças. Foram, aliás, as diferenças entre as três que levaram à criação de uma obra literária feminista, um projeto coletivo originalíssimo em que três escritoras divergem, ao mesmo tempo que trocam generosamente de maneiras de ser e de escrever.» in Contracapa
A Revolução Russa
Um documento histórico por uma das figuras mais marcantes do socialismo europeu. No ano em que escreveu A Revolução Russa, Rosa Luxemburgo cumpria uma das várias penas de prisão a que foi condenada pela sua atividade política. Socialista e resistente à ocupação czarista da sua Polónia natal desde jovem, entusiasmara-se profundamente com a Revolução de Outubro no ano anterior, em 1917. Esta natural solidariedade, porém, não a impediu de antecipar preocupação com algumas medidas avançadas pelos Bolcheviques, tais como a centralização do poder na figura de Lenine, a criação de um sistema de partido único e a supressão de liberdades civis. O compromisso de Luxemburgo com o socialismo, a democracia e a revolução, bem como o seu ativismo antibélico, traduziu-se numa vida de perseguição política e controvérsia que, não obstante, marcou e influenciou indelevelmente o pensamento político europeu até hoje.
