Memories of Post-Imperial Nations
Memories of Post-Imperial Nations presents the first transnational comparison of Great Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Portugal, Italy and Japan, all of whom lost or 'decolonized' their overseas empires after 1945. Since the empires of the world crumbled, the post-imperial nations have been struggling to come to terms with the present, and as recall sets in 'wars of memory' have arisen, leading to a process of collective 'editing'. As these nations rebuild themselves they shed old characteristics and acquire new ones, looking at new orientations. This book brings together varying perspectives with historians and political scientists of these nations attempting to bind memory and its experience of different post-imperial nations.
A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula
"A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula" is the second comparative history of a new subseries with a regional focus, published by the Coordinating Committee of the International Comparative Literature Association. As its predecessor for East-Central Europe, this two-volume history distances itself from traditional histories built around periods and movements, and explores, from a comparative viewpoint, a space considered to be a powerful symbol of inter-literary relations. Both the geographical pertinence and its symbolic condition are obviously discussed, when not even contested.Written by an international team of researchers who are specialists in the field, this history is the first attempt at applying a comparative approach to the plurilingual and multicultural literatures in the Iberian Peninsula. The aim of comprehensiveness is abandoned in favor of a diverse and extensive array of key issues for a comparative agenda."A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula" undermines the primacy claimed for national and linguistic boundaries, and provides a geo-cultural account of literary inter-systems which cannot otherwise be explained.
The AIDS Pandemic
This ambitious book provides a comprehensive history of the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Programme on AIDS (GPA), using it as a unique lens to trace the global response to the AIDS pandemic.

The authors examine the global impact of this momentous transition, portray the current status of the global response to AIDS, and explore the precarious situation that WHO finds itself in today a...
How Peripheral is the Periphery? Translating Portugal Back and Forth
This volume is a result of the need to reflect upon Portugal’s position from the viewpoint of the literary assets imported and exported through translation. It brings together a number of scholars working in the field of Translation Studies directly concerned with the Portuguese cultural system in order to analyse this question from various theoretical perspectives and from case studies of translation flows and movements in Portuguese culture. By Translating Portugal Back and Forth, the articles discuss issues such as: how can one draw the borderline between a peripheral and a semi-peripheral system? Is this borderline useful or necessary? How peripheral is the Portuguese cultural system a...

"Augusto de Athayde (foi) um açoriano ilustre e credor do nosso reconhecimento. Exactamente por isso, a Região Autónoma dos Açores, por deliberação unânime da sua Assembleia Legislativa, decidiu agraciá-lo, em 2014, com a Insígnia Autonómica de Mérito. Acresce ainda o seu amor ao Jardim José do Canto e o seu compromisso com a defesa e valorização desse ex libris de Ponta Delgada, que tanto orgulha a ilha de São Miguel e os Açores, liderando a sua família também nessa empreitada de honrar a memória dos seus antepassados e de contribuir para o enriquecimento do património natural das nossas ilhas" Vasco Alves Cordeiro, Presidente do Governo Regional dos Açores
O Essencial Sobre O tema da Índia no teatro português
A Índia está no centro da obra referencial da cultura portuguesa, Os Lusíadas, pois não há comparação possível, naquela síntese ímpar de poema, História e conciliação da cultura nacional com a globalização, e da época com a contemporaneidade. Na Índia estreou Camões o seu auto «Filodemo». A Índia percorre a História e a Literatura, marca a mentalidade como centro de cultura «alternativa» ao espírito europeu, origem de um estilo, referência mitológica, nascente de heróis... E no entanto, o tema não é tão recorrente, no teatro português, como outras abordagens temáticas da História, da colonização e da Expansão. África, bem ou mal, surge na dramaturgia com...
