Frontiers of Possession
A “lucid” analysis of the territorial formation of Spain and Portugal in both Europe and the Americas (Publishers Weekly). Frontiers of Possession asks how territorial borders were established in Europe and the Americas during the early modern period and challenges the standard view that national boundaries are largely determined by military conflicts and treaties. Focusing on Spanish and Portuguese claims in the New and Old Worlds, Tamar Herzog reconstructs the different ways land rights were negotiated and enforced, sometimes violently, among people who remembered old possessions or envisioned new ones: farmers and nobles, clergymen and missionaries, settlers and indigenous peoples. Qu...
Two Sides of One River
Galicia, the region in the northwest corner of Spain contiguous with Portugal, is officially known as the Autonomous Community of Galicia. It is recognized as one of the historical nationalities making up the Spanish state, as legitimized by the Spanish Constitution of 1978. Although Galicia and Portugal belong to different states, there are frequent allusions to their similarities. This study compares topographic and ethnographic descriptions of Galicia and Portugal from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to understand how the integration into different states and the existence of nationalist discourses resulted in marked differences in the historical representations of these two bordering regions of the Iberian Peninsula. The author explores the role of the imagination in creating a sense, over the last century and a half, of the national being and becoming of these two related peoples.
Separação e colaboração do Estado e da Igreja no tempo de Salazar
Tomando como base as investigações inacabadas de Luís Oliveira Andrade, falecido em 2005, Luís Reis Torgal publicou na Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra, no ano de 2012 (duas edições), em coautoria e em sua homenagem, o livro Feriados em Portugal. Tempos de memória e de sociabilidade. Nunca mais abandonou o tema, tendo em 2018 apresentado em Bolonha, no colóquio anual promovido pela REFAT (Rede de Estudo dos Fascismos, dos Autoritarismos, dos Totalitarismos e das Transições para a Democracia), desta vez intitulado Fascismo, chiese e religioni, a comunicação “O caso dos feriados no contexto da Concordata entre o Estado Novo e a Santa Sé”. O frutuoso diálogo que teve então...
Between Race and Ethnicity
Arriving in New England first as crew members of whaling vessels, Afro-Portuguese immigrants from Cape Verde later came as permanent settlers and took work in the cranberry industry, on the docks, and as domestic workers. Marilyn Halter combines oral history with analyses of ships' records to chart the history and adaptation patterns of the Cape Verdean Americans. Though identifying themselves in ethnic terms, Cape Verdeans found that their African-European ancestry led their new society to view them as a racial group. Halter emphasizes racial and ethnic identity formation to show how Cape Verdeans set themselves apart from the African Americans while attempting to shrug off white society's exclusionary tactics. She also contrasts rural life on the bogs of Cape Cod with New Bedford’s urban community to reveal the ways immigrants established their own social and religious groups as they strove to maintain their Crioulo customs.
Estados novos, estado novo: ensaios de história política e cultural vol. II
Desde 1982 que o autor se dedica predominantemente ao estudo do Estado Novo de Salazar, tendo trabalhado antes, ou em simultâneo, sobre temas como o liberalismo e a contra-revolução, a Restauração, a História da História e a História da Universidade. Para além de alguns livros sobre o Estado Novo, foi escrevendo vários artigos, publicados em Portugal e no Estrangeiro. Foi com base neles e em textos escritos para as aulas de um seminário sobre o mesmo tema, lecionado durante vários anos, que escreveu este livro. O seu título Estados Novos, Estado Novo tem uma razão fundamental. Considera-se que os vários movimentos que se cruzaram e convergiram no Estado Novo de Salazar tiveram...
Nationalising the Crusades
Engaging the Crusades is a series of concise volumes (up to 50,000 words) which offer initial windows into the ways in which the crusades have been used in the last two centuries, demonstrating that the memory of the crusades is an important and emerging subject. Together these studies suggest that the memory of the crusades, in the modern period, is a productive, exciting, and much needed area of investigation. Despite their ‘intrinsic internationalism’, the crusades have long been conscripted for nationalist ends. The last decade has seen an upsurge in usage of the crusades to justify and inspire violence played out within and across national contexts. This volume furthers study of nat...
Neurocritical Care for Neurosurgeons
This unique book discusses the management of neurocritical care patients, including basic concepts, pathophysiologic principles, monitoring, treatment indications, and factors that affect outcomes in patients requiring neurocritical care assistance. It addresses the need to improve continuing education in this area, highlighting patient care in the perioperative period. This is the first book to provide a simplified overview for neurosurgeons and neurologists to understand the neurocritical patient journey. It is divided into three parts: the first covers the basics concepts, from monitoring to the interpretation of exams; the second explores general management of specific situations encountered in intensive care and the last part includes prognostic and rehabilitation models, as well as new perspectives. Thanks to the accessible, neurosurgical specific language, the book is well suited for all professionals involved in neurocritical care, including students, but is also a valuable resource for residents and researches, as well as experienced neurosurgeons or neurologists looking for updated information and guidelines.
O poder da arte: o Estado Novo e a cidade universitária de Coimbra
A construção da Cidade Universitária de Coimbra, levada a cabo entre 1941 e 1975, supôs uma intervenção urbana tão profunda e afirmou-se tão claramente como uma obra de regime que se torna difícil exagerar o seu significado. Ela é, a par dos tribunais, uma das melhores expressões da arquitetura de poder do Estado Novo. Nenhuma obra revela tão bem o uso propagandista do património. No entanto, observada em pormenor, deixa ver a ação por vezes desencontrada dos organismos oficiais. E a sua receção crítica sugere uma escassa capacidade de endoutrinação. É no seio da arte totalitária que a Cidade Universitária de Coimbra melhor se compreende, mesmo nas suas aparentes contr...
