Um País em Bicos de Pés - Escritores, artistas e movimentos culturais
Este livro traça trajetórias individuais, reconstitui movimentos ou tendências e, ao mesmo tempo, reconstrói os contextos capazes de atribuir sentido às obras dos principais escritores, artistas e intelectuais portugueses. Longe de alinhar numa espécie de biografismo, o resultado que se pretende alcançar é o de um olhar histórico e sociológico dos escritores, dos intelectuais e dos movimentos culturais.
Atlantic Crossroads in Lisbon’s New Golden Age, 1668–1750
Long dependent on the Asian spice trade, Portugal suffered serious setbacks during the period of political union with Spain (1580–1640), as the Dutch and others seized key regions and destroyed commercial monopolies. By 1668, the greatest hope for a renewed Portuguese empire lay to the west. This book examines the “Atlanticization” of Lisbon during the early modern era, investigating the social, economic, religious, and political evolution that took place in Portugal’s capital during a period of upheaval and transformation in Europe and in the Atlantic world. In this book, Cacey Bowen Farnsworth shows how, between 1668 and 1750, Lisbon became a crossroads where colonial developments ...
Women's Cinema in Contemporary Portugal
Women's Cinema in Contemporary Portugal brings together scholars from Portugal, UK and the USA, to discuss 14 women film directors in Portugal, focussing on their production in both feature film and documentary genres over the last half-century. It charts the specific cinematic visions that these women have brought to the re-emergence of Portuguese national cinema in the wake of the 1974 Revolution and African decolonisation, and to the growing internationalisation of Portugal's arguably 'minor' or 'small nation' cinema, with significant young women directors such as Leonor Teles achieving prominence abroad. The history of Portuguese women's cinema only begins systematically after the 1974 r...
Performance Art in Portugal
This book explores histories which have only recently been rediscovered by artists and researchers. This study explores the history of Portuguese performance art, in its various "speculative" and "performative" forms. The author approaches this relationship with the re-emergence and centrality of these (semi-)peripheral histories at an international level, whilst identifying some of their unique traits: their cycles of emergence and retraction in Portuguese history; their multiple and complex ontologies; the intertwined relations between the art of performance and the social performance of the Portuguese (regarding topics as sensitive and fracturing as those of the long dictatorship, the col...
40 Anos de Políticas de Educação em Portugal - Volume I - A construção do sistema democrático de ens
Este livro trata os principais temas das políticas de educação dos últimos 40 anos. O olhar sobre a trajetória das medidas de política permite compreender o longo percurso que conduziu à construção do sistema democrático de ensino. Sucessivos governos procuraram responder aos objetivos de melhorar os níveis de qualificação da população portuguesa e de garantir a todos os alunos igualdade de oportunidades, no acesso e no sucesso escolares. A concretização da Reforma do Sistema Educativo, iniciada em 1986, depois da aprovação da Lei de Bases do Sistema Educativo, foi o elemento agregador do consenso e do compromisso entre as forças políticas, sindicais e sociais do país. A comemoração dos 40 anos do 25 de Abril é uma oportunidade, com especial significado, para assinalar a necessidade de construção de um novo compromisso através de um debate aberto, transparente e informado sobre o futuro das políticas de educação, envolvendo os partidos políticos, os parceiros sociais, as autarquias, os pais, as instituições de ensino superior e de ciência, os peritos e as escolas.

An Agrarian History of Portugal, 1000-2000
This book follows the renovation of European economic history towards a more unified interpretation of sources of growth and stagnation. To better understand the diversity of patterns of growth, we need to look beyond the study of the industrialization of the core economies, and explore the centuries before it occurred. Portuguese agriculture was hardly ever at the European productivity and technological forefront and the distance from it varied substantially across the second Millennium. Yet if we look at the periods of the Christian Reconquista, the recovery from the Black Death, the response to the globalization of the Renaissance, to the eighteenth century economic enlightenment, or to nineteenth century industrialization, we may conclude that agriculture in this country of the European periphery was often adaptive and dynamic. The fact that economic backwardness was not overcome by the end of the period is no longer the most relevant aspect of that story. Contributors are: Luciano Amaral, Amélia Branco, Dulce Freire, António Henriques, Pedro Lains, Susana Münch Miranda, Margarida Sobral Neto, Jaime Reis, Ana Maria Rodrigues, José Vicente Serrão and Ester G. Silva.
