The Discovery of Anxiousness
Are anxiety or dread negative stages before freedom, a confrontation with humans' own mortality and finitude? Joana Serrado inaugurates anxiousness as a category of mystical knowledge in this innovative historical and philosophical study. Based on the life and mystical writings of Joana de Jesus, a Cistercian nun, intellectual disciple of Teresa of Avila, this study shows the cultural embeddedness of anxiousness: a feeling akin to the Portuguese term »saudade« (yearning, Sehnsucht). A mystical project that reshapes feminist principles of autonomy, agency and desire.
Daily Life in Portugal in the Late Middle Ages
Past studies of medieval Portugal have focused on such specific themes as political or administrative history and voyages of discovery.

Oliveira Marques gives us an engaging and original social history which examines customary meals, dress, homes, work, spiritual life, even ideas about courtship and love. Medieval Portuguese culture and education, amusements and funeral customs are all a part of this portrait.

Domingos Álvares, African Healing, and the Intellectual History of the Atlantic World
Between 1730 and 1750, powerful healer and vodun priest Domingos Alvares traversed the colonial Atlantic world like few Africans of his time--from Africa to South America to Europe--addressing the profound alienation of warfare, capitalism, and the African slave trade through the language of health and healing. In Domingos Alvares, African Healing, and the Intellectual History of the Atlantic World, James H. Sweet finds dramatic means for unfolding a history of the eighteenth-century Atlantic world in which healing, religion, kinship, and political subversion were intimately connected.

Sobre as causas do atraso científico em Portugal - Uma digressão histórica
O atraso científico que se verificou em Portugal desde o século XVII é um facto quase unanimemente reconhecido. Para o explicar, muitos pensadores e analistas, nacionais e estrangeiros, sugeriram as mais variadas causas reais ou imaginárias. Algumas estão ligadas a atributos pessoais, de caráter endógeno ou exógeno; outras a condicionalismos geopolíticos ou a fatores económico-financeiros. Duvidou-se da capacidade intelectual e do engenho dos portugueses; depreciou-se a sua aptidão para o trabalho, perseverança e reflexão; inventaram-se desconformidades entre atividades dependentes da emoção e da razão. Houve quem opinasse, sabiamente, que o atraso se devia ao desinteresse vo...
