Women, Crime, and Forgiveness in Early Modern Portugal
Looking at the experiences of women in early modern Portugal in the context of crime and forgiveness, this study demonstrates the extent to which judicial and quasi-judicial records can be used to examine the implications of crime in women’s lives, whether as victims or culprits. The foundational basis for this study is two sets of manuscript sources that highlight two distinct yet connected experiences of women as participants in the criminal process. One consists of a collection of archival documents from the first half of the seventeenth century, a corpus called 'querelas,' in which formal accusations of criminal acts were registered. This is a rich source of information not only about ...

A fascinating exploration of the evolution of the Portuguese economy over the course of eight centuries, from 1143 to 2010.
Death and Gender in the Early Modern Period
IIn premodern Europe, the gender identity of those waiting for Doomsday in their tombs could be reaffirmed, readjusted, or even neutralized. Testimonies of this renegotiation of gender at the encounter with death is detectable in wills, letters envisioning oneself as dead, literary narratives, provisions for burial and memorialization, the laws for the disposal of those executed for heinous crimes and the treatment of human remains as relics.
The Women of the Far Right
On mainstream social media platforms, far-right women make extremism relatable. They share Instagram stories about organic foods that help pregnant women propagate the “pure” white race and post behind-the-scenes selfies at antivaccination rallies. These social media personalities model a feminine lifestyle, at once promoting their personal brands and radicalizing their followers. Amid discussions of issues like dating, marriage, and family life, they call on women to become housewives to counteract the corrosive effects of feminism and champion the Great Replacement conspiracy theory, which motivated massacres in Christchurch, El Paso, and Buffalo. Eviane Leidig offers an in-depth look ...
Migration Into the EU: Stocktaking of Recent Developments and Macroeconomic Implications
Against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine, immigration into the European Union (EU) reached a historical high in 2022 and stayed significantly above pre-pandemic levels in 2023. The recent migration has helped accommodate strong labor demand, with around two-thirds of jobs created between 2019 and 2023 filled by non-EU citizens, while unemployment of EU citizens remained at historical lows. Ukrainian refugees also appear to have been absorbed into the labor market faster than previous waves of refugees in many countries. The stronger-than-expected net migration over 2020-23 into the euro area (of around 2 million workers) is estimated to push up potential output by around 0.5 percent by 203...
European Border Regions in Comparison
Borders exist in almost every sphere of life. Initially, borders were established in connection with kingdoms, regions, towns, villages and cities. With nation-building, they became important as a line separating two national states with different “national characteristics,” narratives and myths. The term “border” has a negative connotation for being a separating line, a warning signal not to cross a line between the allowed and the forbidden. The awareness of both mental and factual borders in manifold spheres of our life has made them a topic of consideration in almost all scholarly disciplines – history, geography, political science and many others. This book primarily incorporates an interdisciplinary and comparative approach. Historians, sociologists, anthropologists and political science scholars from a diverse range of European universities analyze historical as well as contemporary perceptions and perspectives concerning border regions – inside the EU, between EU and non-EU European countries, and between European and non-European countries.
Timor, les défis de l'indépendance
Timor oriental sera indépendant le 20 mai 2002. Il s'agira alors du huitième Etat de la Communauté des pays de langue portugaise (la CPLP). Cette indépendance, supervisée par l'ONU, aura coûté un prix terrible à la population. Après la décolonisation, tardive et ratée, de 1975, le pays a souffert d'une recolonisation atypique par l'Indonésie, avec le soutien explicite des Etats-Unis et de l'Australie, et grâce au silence complice de la plupart des pays européens, en particulier la France. Plus d'un tiers de la population a disparu dans les combats, les déplacements forcés et les massacres. La honte nationale ressentie au Portugal autour de cette tragédie obligea Lisbonne à ...

Psicología, Salud y Educación
El conocimiento científico se está viendo cada vez más enriquecido gracias a los numerosos estudios e investigaciones que relacionan psicología y salud, no sólo en lo que respecta a la psicología de salud como rama de la psicología que analiza conductas y estilos de vida que pueden afectar a la salud física y mental, sino también por las concomitancias que se dan en los desarrollos de las psicoterapias y en la práctica de la medicina en general. Cada vez tenemos más claro que la salud trasciende el ámbito biológico-individual y que hemos de entenderla como una interacción de variables biológicas y ambientales que condicionan la vida de las personas. Conceptos y vivencias como ...
