O Processo SAAL e a Arquitectura no 25 de Abril de 1974
Criado com o intuito de dar apoio às populações que se encontravam alojadas em situações precárias, o SAAL, Serviço de Apoio Ambulatório Local, surgiu como um serviço descentralizado que, através do suporte projetual e técnico dado pelas brigadas que atuavam nos bairros degradados, foi construindo novas casas e novas infraestruturas, foi oferecendo melhores condições habitacionais. Se, por um lado, se pode considerar a produção que se seguiu como a expressão mais coerente de uma “Arquitetura do 25 de Abril”, por outro lado, a pronta resposta dada pelos arquitetos e pelas equipas de projeto em geral correspondeu, pelos conteúdos metodológicos inusitados e pela própria q...

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.
Iberian Interfaces
This book explores a key historical moment for literary and cultural relations between Spain and Portugal. Focusing on the period between 1870 and 1930, it analyses the contacts between Portuguese and Spanish writers and artists of this period, showing that, at least among the cultural elites, there were intense and fruitful dialogues across political and linguistic borders. The book presents the Iberian Peninsula as a complex and multilingual cultural polysystem in which diverse literary cultures coexist and are mutually dependent upon each other. It offers a panoramic view of Iberian literary and cultural history, encompassing not just Portuguese and Spanish literary productions, but also Catalan, Galician and Basque works. Combining a clear theoretical foundation with deep historical knowledge and references to specific texts and works, the book offers a thorough introduction to Iberian literature in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.

THE EMPIRE OF APOSTLES
The Portuguese encounter with the peoples of South Asia and Brazil set foundational precedents for European imperialism. Jesuit missionaries were key participants in both regions. As they sought to reconcile three commitments—to local missionary spaces, to a universal Church, and to the global Portuguese empire—the Jesuits forged a religious vision of empire. Ananya Chakravarti explores both indigenous and European experiences to show how these missionaries learned to negotiate everything with the diverse peoples they encountered and that nothing could simply be imposed. Yet Jesuits repeatedly wrote home in language celebrating triumphal impositions of European ideas and practices upon indigenous people. In the process, while empire was built through distinctly ambiguous interactions, Europeans came to imagine themselves in imperial moulds. In this dynamic, in which the difficult lessons of empire came to be learned and forgotten repeatedly, Chakravarti demonstrates an enduring and overlooked characteristic of European imperialism.
As lides do Talaya
Poeta da corte referenciado por Bocage, toureiro famoso satirizado por Lobo de Carvalho, almotacé, capitão, bacharel em direito canónico, burocrata na administração do reino, etc., João Dias Talaya Sottomaior era um homem especialmente dotado para as relações sociais. No ano de 1777, que marcou o início do reinado de D. Maria I, e sob a protecção do rei consorte D. Pedro III, o capitão João Dias Talaya funda em Sacavém a Nova e Real Academia dos Obsequiosos. Esta era por excelência uma academia de louvor; no centro da sua produção literária estava o encómio à família real, um conceito que encontrava nos discursos laudatórios uma das suas mais significativas manifestaç...
