The objective is to systematize the information and perspectives of historiographic analysis
and other social sciences about the current crisis of democracies and multilateralism, the
emergence of a new extreme right and, on the other hand, about the epistemological and
theoretical-methodological possibility of production and dissemination of historiographical
knowledge (scientific or objective) with regard to the aforementioned aspect of the present
time. Comparisons will be established with the periods of the Era of Fascism and the Cold War,
based on the cases of Brazil and Portugal.
The fact that both countries have known far-right personalities, organizations and dictatorial
regimes authoritarian and/or totalitarian in the Era of Fascism and during the Cold War
also makes it possible to compare old and new extreme right. This circumstance also makes it
possible to analyze the characteristics and implications, in the medium and long term, of themodalities of transitional justice and the transitional processes that occurred after 1945 and
1986 in Brazil; after 1974 in Portugal |

Description |
| Politics, Intellectuals and Media |
This line of research emphasises aspects of the formation, development, organization and dissemination of concepts, discourses and political practices, inserted in a historical process and its social context. Its theoretical foundations are specialized literature, mostly of French and Anglo-Saxon origin, that takes into consideration the multiple dimensions of the political universe. This line of study establishes a constant dialogue with the New Political History. The various players (individual, collective and institutional) that move through this multiple universe are the themes of this line of study that concentrates in the intellectuals, the political ideas and its various means and processes of dissemination and social performance. It favours as well those studies devoted to nineteenth and twentieth centuries within an Iberian and American context.
The political centrality of the modern state in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries does not hinder the development of research that includes other objects and theoretical discussions; on the contrary, political processes are considered beyond the relationship between State and civil society, which enables the development of research into different political organizations or power structures. The political dimension of the research does not exclude the dialogue between Cultural and Social History and the interface with other fields of historical study. The lines conceptual and methodological frame maintains its traditional interdisciplinary approach and establishes a dialogue with Anthropology, Political Science, Economics, Sociology, Psychoanalysis and Social Communication. Thus the press, political parties, trade unions, public policies, public opinion, intellectuals, ideas, elections, associations, armed conflicts, political movements, engaged cultural production, and institutions are objects of interest to this line of research. |
| Culture and Ethnicity |
This line of study gives emphasis to transdisciplinary works and promotes historical researches whose approaches employ concepts from different fields of human and social sciences. By focusing on the Iberian and American context from the point of view of social relations, shared practices and knowledge, artistic creation and the production of knowledge, this line underlines phenomena proper to modernity and experiences that transcend its own paradigms. Researches developed within this line of study encompass studies on representation, visual culture and ethnicity.
This type of research on culture comprises themes of historical interest, analysed from the perspective of perception, the attribution of meanings and the representation of reality in a particular historical context. Considering the American and Iberian cultural context during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this type of research encompasses the social politics of memory, artistic and intellectual creation in audio, visual and discursive languages, including routes, performances, networks and symbolic exchanges. The configuration of objects in this field tries to reveal historical situations determined according to the universe of beliefs, emotions and knowledge that have given them intelligibility and meaning in their own time.
Research on art, image and visual culture problematize the way the various types of images permeate everyday social life creating the visuality of an era, connecting production techniques and circulation of images to the ways of visualizing the different social groups and spaces, proposing a look at the world, mediating our understanding of reality and suggesting models of social action.
The production within this thematic line includes research on ethnicity that favours the methodological transit and transdisciplinarity between History, Archaeology and Anthropology, and deals with subjects from the pre-colonial period to contemporary research regarding different ethnic groups. Studies aimed at understanding the interethnic contact in the Ibero-American world via its numerous records, focus on the daily life and cultural manifestations of indigenous populations, caboclo and quilombola communities and other peoples on the fringes of pre-colonial and post-colonial history, using epistemological instruments for the development of analysis not restricted to the reductionist dualism of the societies in contact. |
| Society, Economic Development and Migration |
The present line of research favours studies on urban transformations and the network of contacts and relationships established in different processes of sociability. It uses the latest theoretical and methodological tendencies of social history and proposes a reflection on the varied social, economic and political ties observed in an urban space; it focusses on studies of the paths of groups and/or individuals, their social and territorial insertion and their experiences and displacements.
The identification of the space the different players, through their everyday practices, occupy in society allows the researcher to better understand their contribution in the transformation of cities, companies, industries, arts and crafts, professions and the effects of migration in society as a whole.
Issues related to work should also be a part of the considerations about everyday practices associated to societys economic and industrial development. In this context the role of the immigrant regards to entrepreneurship, technology and the circulation of ideas should be emphasised. Among the themes favoured by this line of research are studies of immigration to Brazil, focussing on transnationalism (economic, cultural and political) and the role of immigrants in the process of urbanization and social modernization of the country between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; the history of the press and its relationship with other spaces of intellectual production and the power of society; industrialization, planning and urbanization, emphasising the urban changes promoted by the phenomena of industrialization, the new waves of immigration and other forms of human mobility that occurred throughout the twentieth century.
The social dimension underlined by this line of research does not exclude the dialogue with cultural and political history and the interface with other areas of history. |

Systematize information and analysis perspectives from historiography and other social sciences about,
on the one hand, the epistemological possibility of producing and disseminating historiographical
knowledge (scientific or objective) about the present time; on the other hand, the characteristics and
specific requirements of the reconstitution and analysis of problems associated with the present time.
For this purpose, it is considered that the present time begins in 1991, with the collapse of the
USSR/with the end of the Communist Bloc and with the end of the Cold War/a bipolar system of
international relations. |

Thus the press, political parties, trade unions, public policies, public opinion, intellectuals, ideas, elections, associations, armed conflicts, political movements, engaged cultural production, and institutions are objects of interest to this line of research. |
| Culture and Ethnicity |
This line of study gives emphasis to transdisciplinary works and promotes historical researches whose approaches employ concepts from different fields of human and social sciences. By focusing on the Iberian and American context from the point of view of social relations, shared practices and knowledge, artistic creation and the production of knowledge, this line underlines phenomena proper to modernity and experiences that transcend its own paradigms. Researches developed within this line of study encompass studies on representation, visual culture and ethnicity.
This type of research on culture comprises themes of historical interest, analysed from the perspective of perception, the attribution of meanings and the representation of reality in a particular historical context. Considering the American and Iberian cultural context during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this type of research encompasses the social politics of memory, artistic and intellectual creation in audio, visual and discursive languages, including routes, performances, networks and symbolic exchanges. The configuration of objects in this field tries to reveal historical situations determined according to the universe of beliefs, emotions and knowledge that have given them intelligibility and meaning in their own time.
Research on art, image and visual culture problematize the way the various types of images permeate everyday social life creating the visuality of an era, connecting production techniques and circulation of images to the ways of visualizing the different social groups and spaces, proposing a look at the world, mediating our understanding of reality and suggesting models of social action.
The production within this thematic line includes research on ethnicity that favours the methodological transit and transdisciplinarity between History, Archaeology and Anthropology, and deals with subjects from the pre-colonial period to contemporary research regarding different ethnic groups. Studies aimed at understanding the interethnic contact in the Ibero-American world via its numerous records, focus on the daily life and cultural manifestations of indigenous populations, caboclo and quilombola communities and other peoples on the fringes of pre-colonial and post-colonial history, using epistemological instruments for the development of analysis not restricted to the reductionist dualism of the societies in contact. |
| Society, Economic Development and Migration |
The present line of research favours studies on urban transformations and the network of contacts and relationships established in different processes of sociability. It uses the latest theoretical and methodological tendencies of social history and proposes a reflection on the varied social, economic and political ties observed in an urban space; it focusses on studies of the paths of groups and/or individuals, their social and territorial insertion and their experiences and displacements.
The identification of the space the different players, through their everyday practices, occupy in society allows the researcher to better understand their contribution in the transformation of cities, companies, industries, arts and crafts, professions and the effects of migration in society as a whole.
Issues related to work should also be a part of the considerations about everyday practices associated to societys economic and industrial development. In this context the role of the immigrant regards to entrepreneurship, technology and the circulation of ideas should be emphasised. Among the themes favoured by this line of research are studies of immigration to Brazil, focussing on transnationalism (economic, cultural and political) and the role of immigrants in the process of urbanization and social modernization of the country between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; the history of the press and its relationship with other spaces of intellectual production and the power of society; industrialization, planning and urbanization, emphasising the urban changes promoted by the phenomena of industrialization, the new waves of immigration and other forms of human mobility that occurred throughout the twentieth century.
The social dimension underlined by this line of research does not exclude the dialogue with cultural and political history and the interface with other areas of history. |

| Politics, Intellectuals and Media |
This line of research emphasises aspects of the formation, development, organization and dissemination of concepts, discourses and political practices, inserted in a historical process and its social context. Its theoretical foundations are specialized literature, mostly of French and Anglo-Saxon origin, that takes into consideration the multiple dimensions of the political universe. This line of study establishes a constant dialogue with the New Political History. The various players (individual, collective and institutional) that move through this multiple universe are the themes of this line of study that concentrates in the intellectuals, the political ideas and its various means and processes of dissemination and social performance. It favours as well those studies devoted to nineteenth and twentieth centuries within an Iberian and American context.
The political centrality of the modern state in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries does not hinder the development of research that includes other objects and theoretical discussions; on the contrary, political processes are considered beyond the relationship between State and civil society, which enables the development of research into different political organizations or power structures.

The lines conceptual and methodological frame maintains its traditional interdisciplinary approach and establishes a dialogue with Anthropology, Political Science, Economics, Sociology, Psychoanalysis and Social Communication. Thus the press, political parties, trade unions, public policies, public opinion, intellectuals, ideas, elections, associations, armed conflicts, political movements, engaged cultural production, and institutions are objects of interest to this line of research. |
| Culture and Ethnicity |
This line of study gives emphasis to transdisciplinary works and promotes historical researches whose approaches employ concepts from different fields of human and social sciences. By focusing on the Iberian and American context from the point of view of social relations, shared practices and knowledge, artistic creation and the production of knowledge, this line underlines phenomena proper to modernity and experiences that transcend its own paradigms. Researches developed within this line of study encompass studies on representation, visual culture and ethnicity.
This type of research on culture comprises themes of historical interest, analysed from the perspective of perception, the attribution of meanings and the representation of reality in a particular historical context. Considering the American and Iberian cultural context during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this type of research encompasses the social politics of memory, artistic and intellectual creation in audio, visual and discursive languages, including routes, performances, networks and symbolic exchanges. The configuration of objects in this field tries to reveal historical situations determined according to the universe of beliefs, emotions and knowledge that have given them intelligibility and meaning in their own time.
Research on art, image and visual culture problematize the way the various types of images permeate everyday social life creating the visuality of an era, connecting production techniques and circulation of images to the ways of visualizing the different social groups and spaces, proposing a look at the world, mediating our understanding of reality and suggesting models of social action.
The production within this thematic line includes research on ethnicity that favours the methodological transit and transdisciplinarity between History, Archaeology and Anthropology, and deals with subjects from the pre-colonial period to contemporary research regarding different ethnic groups. Studies aimed at understanding the interethnic contact in the Ibero-American world via its numerous records, focus on the daily life and cultural manifestations of indigenous populations, caboclo and quilombola communities and other peoples on the fringes of pre-colonial and post-colonial history, using epistemological instruments for the development of analysis not restricted to the reductionist dualism of the societies in contact. |
| Society, Economic Development and Migration |
The present line of research favours studies on urban transformations and the network of contacts and relationships established in different processes of sociability. It uses the latest theoretical and methodological tendencies of social history and proposes a reflection on the varied social, economic and political ties observed in an urban space; it focusses on studies of the paths of groups and/or individuals, their social and territorial insertion and their experiences and displacements.
The identification of the space the different players, through their everyday practices, occupy in society allows the researcher to better understand their contribution in the transformation of cities, companies, industries, arts and crafts, professions and the effects of migration in society as a whole.
Issues related to work should also be a part of the considerations about everyday practices associated to societys economic and industrial development. In this context the role of the immigrant regards to entrepreneurship, technology and the circulation of ideas should be emphasised. Among the themes favoured by this line of research are studies of immigration to Brazil, focussing on transnationalism (economic, cultural and political) and the role of immigrants in the process of urbanization and social modernization of the country between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; the history of the press and its relationship with other spaces of intellectual production and the power of society; industrialization, planning and urbanization, emphasising the urban changes promoted by the phenomena of industrialization, the new waves of immigration and other forms of human mobility that occurred throughout the twentieth century.
The social dimension underlined by this line of research does not exclude the dialogue with cultural and political history and the interface with other areas of history. |

This line of research emphasises aspects of the formation, development, organization and dissemination of concepts, discourses and political practices, inserted in a historical process and its social context. Its theoretical foundations are specialized literature, mostly of French and Anglo-Saxon origin, that takes into consideration the multiple dimensions of the political universe. This line of study establishes a constant dialogue with the New Political History. The various players (individual, collective and institutional) that move through this multiple universe are the themes of this line of study that concentrates in the intellectuals, the political ideas and its various means and processes of dissemination and social performance. It favours as well those studies devoted to nineteenth and twentieth centuries within an Iberian and American context.

Among the themes favoured by this line of research are studies of immigration to Brazil, focussing on transnationalism (economic, cultural and political) and the role of immigrants in the process of urbanization and social modernization of the country between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; the history of the press and its relationship with other spaces of intellectual production and the power of society; industrialization, planning and urbanization, emphasising the urban changes promoted by the phenomena of industrialization, the new waves of immigration and other forms of human mobility that occurred throughout the twentieth century.

Description |
| Politics, Intellectuals and Media |
This line of research emphasises aspects of the formation, development, organization and dissemination of concepts, discourses and political practices, inserted in a historical process and its social context. Its theoretical foundations are specialized literature, mostly of French and Anglo-Saxon origin, that takes into consideration the multiple dimensions of the political universe. This line of study establishes a constant dialogue with the New Political History. The various players (individual, collective and institutional) that move through this multiple universe are the themes of this line of study that concentrates in the intellectuals, the political ideas and its various means and processes of dissemination and social performance. It favours as well those studies devoted to nineteenth and twentieth centuries within an Iberian and American context.
The political centrality of the modern state in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries does not hinder the development of research that includes other objects and theoretical discussions; on the contrary, political processes are considered beyond the relationship between State and civil society, which enables the development of research into different political organizations or power structures. The political dimension of the research does not exclude the dialogue between Cultural and Social History and the interface with other fields of historical study. The lines conceptual and methodological frame maintains its traditional interdisciplinary approach and establishes a dialogue with Anthropology, Political Science, Economics, Sociology, Psychoanalysis and Social Communication. Thus the press, political parties, trade unions, public policies, public opinion, intellectuals, ideas, elections, associations, armed conflicts, political movements, engaged cultural production, and institutions are objects of interest to this line of research. |
| Culture and Ethnicity |
This line of study gives emphasis to transdisciplinary works and promotes historical researches whose approaches employ concepts from different fields of human and social sciences. By focusing on the Iberian and American context from the point of view of social relations, shared practices and knowledge, artistic creation and the production of knowledge, this line underlines phenomena proper to modernity and experiences that transcend its own paradigms. Researches developed within this line of study encompass studies on representation, visual culture and ethnicity.
This type of research on culture comprises themes of historical interest, analysed from the perspective of perception, the attribution of meanings and the representation of reality in a particular historical context. Considering the American and Iberian cultural context during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this type of research encompasses the social politics of memory, artistic and intellectual creation in audio, visual and discursive languages, including routes, performances, networks and symbolic exchanges. The configuration of objects in this field tries to reveal historical situations determined according to the universe of beliefs, emotions and knowledge that have given them intelligibility and meaning in their own time.
Research on art, image and visual culture problematize the way the various types of images permeate everyday social life creating the visuality of an era, connecting production techniques and circulation of images to the ways of visualizing the different social groups and spaces, proposing a look at the world, mediating our understanding of reality and suggesting models of social action.
The production within this thematic line includes research on ethnicity that favours the methodological transit and transdisciplinarity between History, Archaeology and Anthropology, and deals with subjects from the pre-colonial period to contemporary research regarding different ethnic groups. Studies aimed at understanding the interethnic contact in the Ibero-American world via its numerous records, focus on the daily life and cultural manifestations of indigenous populations, caboclo and quilombola communities and other peoples on the fringes of pre-colonial and post-colonial history, using epistemological instruments for the development of analysis not restricted to the reductionist dualism of the societies in contact. |
| Society, Economic Development and Migration |
The present line of research favours studies on urban transformations and the network of contacts and relationships established in different processes of sociability. It uses the latest theoretical and methodological tendencies of social history and proposes a reflection on the varied social, economic and political ties observed in an urban space; it focusses on studies of the paths of groups and/or individuals, their social and territorial insertion and their experiences and displacements.
The identification of the space the different players, through their everyday practices, occupy in society allows the researcher to better understand their contribution in the transformation of cities, companies, industries, arts and crafts, professions and the effects of migration in society as a whole.
Issues related to work should also be a part of the considerations about everyday practices associated to societys economic and industrial development. In this context the role of the immigrant regards to entrepreneurship, technology and the circulation of ideas should be emphasised.

By focusing on the Iberian and American context from the point of view of social relations, shared practices and knowledge, artistic creation and the production of knowledge, this line underlines phenomena proper to modernity and experiences that transcend its own paradigms. Researches developed within this line of study encompass studies on representation, visual culture and ethnicity.
This type of research on culture comprises themes of historical interest, analysed from the perspective of perception, the attribution of meanings and the representation of reality in a particular historical context. Considering the American and Iberian cultural context during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this type of research encompasses the social politics of memory, artistic and intellectual creation in audio, visual and discursive languages, including routes, performances, networks and symbolic exchanges. The configuration of objects in this field tries to reveal historical situations determined according to the universe of beliefs, emotions and knowledge that have given them intelligibility and meaning in their own time.
Research on art, image and visual culture problematize the way the various types of images permeate everyday social life creating the visuality of an era, connecting production techniques and circulation of images to the ways of visualizing the different social groups and spaces, proposing a look at the world, mediating our understanding of reality and suggesting models of social action.
The production within this thematic line includes research on ethnicity that favours the methodological transit and transdisciplinarity between History, Archaeology and Anthropology, and deals with subjects from the pre-colonial period to contemporary research regarding different ethnic groups. Studies aimed at understanding the interethnic contact in the Ibero-American world via its numerous records, focus on the daily life and cultural manifestations of indigenous populations, caboclo and quilombola communities and other peoples on the fringes of pre-colonial and post-colonial history, using epistemological instruments for the development of analysis not restricted to the reductionist dualism of the societies in contact. |
| Society, Economic Development and Migration |
The present line of research favours studies on urban transformations and the network of contacts and relationships established in different processes of sociability. It uses the latest theoretical and methodological tendencies of social history and proposes a reflection on the varied social, economic and political ties observed in an urban space; it focusses on studies of the paths of groups and/or individuals, their social and territorial insertion and their experiences and displacements.
The identification of the space the different players, through their everyday practices, occupy in society allows the researcher to better understand their contribution in the transformation of cities, companies, industries, arts and crafts, professions and the effects of migration in society as a whole.
Issues related to work should also be a part of the considerations about everyday practices associated to societys economic and industrial development. In this context the role of the immigrant regards to entrepreneurship, technology and the circulation of ideas should be emphasised. Among the themes favoured by this line of research are studies of immigration to Brazil, focussing on transnationalism (economic, cultural and political) and the role of immigrants in the process of urbanization and social modernization of the country between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; the history of the press and its relationship with other spaces of intellectual production and the power of society; industrialization, planning and urbanization, emphasising the urban changes promoted by the phenomena of industrialization, the new waves of immigration and other forms of human mobility that occurred throughout the twentieth century.
The social dimension underlined by this line of research does not exclude the dialogue with cultural and political history and the interface with other areas of history. |

| Politics, Intellectuals and Media |
This line of research emphasises aspects of the formation, development, organization and dissemination of concepts, discourses and political practices, inserted in a historical process and its social context. Its theoretical foundations are specialized literature, mostly of French and Anglo-Saxon origin, that takes into consideration the multiple dimensions of the political universe. This line of study establishes a constant dialogue with the New Political History. The various players (individual, collective and institutional) that move through this multiple universe are the themes of this line of study that concentrates in the intellectuals, the political ideas and its various means and processes of dissemination and social performance. It favours as well those studies devoted to nineteenth and twentieth centuries within an Iberian and American context.
The political centrality of the modern state in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries does not hinder the development of research that includes other objects and theoretical discussions; on the contrary, political processes are considered beyond the relationship between State and civil society, which enables the development of research into different political organizations or power structures. The political dimension of the research does not exclude the dialogue between Cultural and Social History and the interface with other fields of historical study. The lines conceptual and methodological frame maintains its traditional interdisciplinary approach and establishes a dialogue with Anthropology, Political Science, Economics, Sociology, Psychoanalysis and Social Communication. Thus the press, political parties, trade unions, public policies, public opinion, intellectuals, ideas, elections, associations, armed conflicts, political movements, engaged cultural production, and institutions are objects of interest to this line of research. |

IMAGE AND POWER: photojournalism and documentary photography

The discipline aims to reflect on the relationships between political-social disputes and the
development of a new visuality of Latin American society between the 1960s and 2000s through
photojournalism and documentary photography.
The temporal delimitation contemplates, on the one hand, the period marked by military dictatorships
in Latin America (Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Uruguay), and a State Party regime in Mexico, in which the
image is a privileged field to understand the disputes and forms of legitimization of authoritarian
governments associated with international capital against political opposition groups associated with
social movements. The opposition press and photography agencies actively participate in questioning
power and fighting for political openness. On the other hand, during this period a process of
modernization of the press and international photojournalism was taking place, which suffered from
competition from television. Parallel to its generalization in the public and private sphere, there was a
process of institutionalization and entry of photography into the field of the arts (galleries, museums,
specialized magazines, etc.), which led to its status being questioned. and the deepening of the theoryof the debate around photography.
To do this, it is necessary to reflect on photojournalism and documentary photography and the
different theoretical-methodological proposals to interpret them. The seminar thus aims to discuss the
production, uses and social functions of photographic images (photojournalism and documentary
photography) in Latin America (1960-2000) in parallel with the transformations of visual culture, the
elaboration of new regimes of visuality and new perspectives on Latin America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile,
Mexico and Uruguay). |

The so-called Rio Branco Era (1902-1912) marks the reorientation of the Brazilian diplomatic axis from Europe to the United States and consolidates the rapprochement between the countries at the same time that rivalries with Argentina intensify. As the architect of Brazilian foreign policy, the Baron of Rio Branco concentrated immense power and a certain aura of national unanimity around his project for a nation and the model of civilization that sought to project abroad. However, there were, indeed, dissidences and controversies in diplomatic circles and among intellectuals. Bringing together approaches from the History of Ideas and Political History, in this seminar we will focus attention on the main names involved in the debates about the country projects in dispute in the nascent republic and how their ideas were linked to the foreign policy model they defended. To this end, we will discuss the ideas of Barão do Rio Branco himself, as well as fundamental names such as Joaquim Nabuco, Manoel de Oliveira Lima, Eduardo Prado, among others. |

The lines conceptual and methodological frame maintains its traditional interdisciplinary approach and establishes a dialogue with Anthropology, Political Science, Economics, Sociology, Psychoanalysis and Social Communication. Thus the press, political parties, trade unions, public policies, public opinion, intellectuals, ideas, elections, associations, armed conflicts, political movements, engaged cultural production, and institutions are objects of interest to this line of research. |
| Culture and Ethnicity |
This line of study gives emphasis to transdisciplinary works and promotes historical researches whose approaches employ concepts from different fields of human and social sciences. By focusing on the Iberian and American context from the point of view of social relations, shared practices and knowledge, artistic creation and the production of knowledge, this line underlines phenomena proper to modernity and experiences that transcend its own paradigms. Researches developed within this line of study encompass studies on representation, visual culture and ethnicity.
This type of research on culture comprises themes of historical interest, analysed from the perspective of perception, the attribution of meanings and the representation of reality in a particular historical context. Considering the American and Iberian cultural context during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this type of research encompasses the social politics of memory, artistic and intellectual creation in audio, visual and discursive languages, including routes, performances, networks and symbolic exchanges. The configuration of objects in this field tries to reveal historical situations determined according to the universe of beliefs, emotions and knowledge that have given them intelligibility and meaning in their own time.
Research on art, image and visual culture problematize the way the various types of images permeate everyday social life creating the visuality of an era, connecting production techniques and circulation of images to the ways of visualizing the different social groups and spaces, proposing a look at the world, mediating our understanding of reality and suggesting models of social action.
The production within this thematic line includes research on ethnicity that favours the methodological transit and transdisciplinarity between History, Archaeology and Anthropology, and deals with subjects from the pre-colonial period to contemporary research regarding different ethnic groups. Studies aimed at understanding the interethnic contact in the Ibero-American world via its numerous records, focus on the daily life and cultural manifestations of indigenous populations, caboclo and quilombola communities and other peoples on the fringes of pre-colonial and post-colonial history, using epistemological instruments for the development of analysis not restricted to the reductionist dualism of the societies in contact. |
| Society, Economic Development and Migration |
The present line of research favours studies on urban transformations and the network of contacts and relationships established in different processes of sociability. It uses the latest theoretical and methodological tendencies of social history and proposes a reflection on the varied social, economic and political ties observed in an urban space; it focusses on studies of the paths of groups and/or individuals, their social and territorial insertion and their experiences and displacements.
The identification of the space the different players, through their everyday practices, occupy in society allows the researcher to better understand their contribution in the transformation of cities, companies, industries, arts and crafts, professions and the effects of migration in society as a whole.
Issues related to work should also be a part of the considerations about everyday practices associated to societys economic and industrial development. In this context the role of the immigrant regards to entrepreneurship, technology and the circulation of ideas should be emphasised. Among the themes favoured by this line of research are studies of immigration to Brazil, focussing on transnationalism (economic, cultural and political) and the role of immigrants in the process of urbanization and social modernization of the country between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; the history of the press and its relationship with other spaces of intellectual production and the power of society; industrialization, planning and urbanization, emphasising the urban changes promoted by the phenomena of industrialization, the new waves of immigration and other forms of human mobility that occurred throughout the twentieth century.
The social dimension underlined by this line of research does not exclude the dialogue with cultural and political history and the interface with other areas of history. |

This line of research emphasises aspects of the formation, development, organization and dissemination of concepts, discourses and political practices, inserted in a historical process and its social context. Its theoretical foundations are specialized literature, mostly of French and Anglo-Saxon origin, that takes into consideration the multiple dimensions of the political universe. This line of study establishes a constant dialogue with the New Political History. The various players (individual, collective and institutional) that move through this multiple universe are the themes of this line of study that concentrates in the intellectuals, the political ideas and its various means and processes of dissemination and social performance. It favours as well those studies devoted to nineteenth and twentieth centuries within an Iberian and American context.

The identification of the space the different players, through their everyday practices, occupy in society allows the researcher to better understand their contribution in the transformation of cities, companies, industries, arts and crafts, professions and the effects of migration in society as a whole.
Issues related to work should also be a part of the considerations about everyday practices associated to societys economic and industrial development. In this context the role of the immigrant regards to entrepreneurship, technology and the circulation of ideas should be emphasised. Among the themes favoured by this line of research are studies of immigration to Brazil, focussing on transnationalism (economic, cultural and political) and the role of immigrants in the process of urbanization and social modernization of the country between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; the history of the press and its relationship with other spaces of intellectual production and the power of society; industrialization, planning and urbanization, emphasising the urban changes promoted by the phenomena of industrialization, the new waves of immigration and other forms of human mobility that occurred throughout the twentieth century.
The social dimension underlined by this line of research does not exclude the dialogue with cultural and political history and the interface with other areas of history. |

The objective of the course is to update knowledge and theoretical-methodological-analytical reflection on central issues around the concept of resistance, in addition to expanding the boundaries of this category to highlight different actors and different theoretical perspectives. From this perspective, this course aims to highlight the different dimensions and praxis of resistance (in particular, of subaltern groups), which facilitate the understanding of which actors can be considered resistant and which are not; what are the most common forms of resistance; in which contexts forms of resistance tend to emerge; and what role the category of resistance occupies in society and in current research. These are some of the questions that will guide the reflections addressed throughout this course. |

Description |
| Politics, Intellectuals and Media |
This line of research emphasises aspects of the formation, development, organization and dissemination of concepts, discourses and political practices, inserted in a historical process and its social context. Its theoretical foundations are specialized literature, mostly of French and Anglo-Saxon origin, that takes into consideration the multiple dimensions of the political universe. This line of study establishes a constant dialogue with the New Political History. The various players (individual, collective and institutional) that move through this multiple universe are the themes of this line of study that concentrates in the intellectuals, the political ideas and its various means and processes of dissemination and social performance. It favours as well those studies devoted to nineteenth and twentieth centuries within an Iberian and American context.
The political centrality of the modern state in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries does not hinder the development of research that includes other objects and theoretical discussions; on the contrary, political processes are considered beyond the relationship between State and civil society, which enables the development of research into different political organizations or power structures. The political dimension of the research does not exclude the dialogue between Cultural and Social History and the interface with other fields of historical study. The lines conceptual and methodological frame maintains its traditional interdisciplinary approach and establishes a dialogue with Anthropology, Political Science, Economics, Sociology, Psychoanalysis and Social Communication. Thus the press, political parties, trade unions, public policies, public opinion, intellectuals, ideas, elections, associations, armed conflicts, political movements, engaged cultural production, and institutions are objects of interest to this line of research. |
| Culture and Ethnicity |
This line of study gives emphasis to transdisciplinary works and promotes historical researches whose approaches employ concepts from different fields of human and social sciences. By focusing on the Iberian and American context from the point of view of social relations, shared practices and knowledge, artistic creation and the production of knowledge, this line underlines phenomena proper to modernity and experiences that transcend its own paradigms. Researches developed within this line of study encompass studies on representation, visual culture and ethnicity.
This type of research on culture comprises themes of historical interest, analysed from the perspective of perception, the attribution of meanings and the representation of reality in a particular historical context. Considering the American and Iberian cultural context during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this type of research encompasses the social politics of memory, artistic and intellectual creation in audio, visual and discursive languages, including routes, performances, networks and symbolic exchanges. The configuration of objects in this field tries to reveal historical situations determined according to the universe of beliefs, emotions and knowledge that have given them intelligibility and meaning in their own time.
Research on art, image and visual culture problematize the way the various types of images permeate everyday social life creating the visuality of an era, connecting production techniques and circulation of images to the ways of visualizing the different social groups and spaces, proposing a look at the world, mediating our understanding of reality and suggesting models of social action.
The production within this thematic line includes research on ethnicity that favours the methodological transit and transdisciplinarity between History, Archaeology and Anthropology, and deals with subjects from the pre-colonial period to contemporary research regarding different ethnic groups. Studies aimed at understanding the interethnic contact in the Ibero-American world via its numerous records, focus on the daily life and cultural manifestations of indigenous populations, caboclo and quilombola communities and other peoples on the fringes of pre-colonial and post-colonial history, using epistemological instruments for the development of analysis not restricted to the reductionist dualism of the societies in contact. |

The Historical Demography of Angola before c. 1885

The discipline aims to reflect on the Historical Demography of Angola before c. 1885. Anchored in the
discipline of History, it concentrates on the sub-discipline of Population Studies to better understand
the past of a geographical area in West Central Africa that has become the modern state of Angola. Its
timeframe focuses on the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries largely because: that is when a large
number of documents that demographers use to reconstruct the population past of other parts of the
world, that is censuses, are available; and that is also the period during which an impressive number of
captives were exported from this landscape into the Atlantic World. Hence, by drawing our attention to
the historical demography of Angola from about 1700 to the end of the 1800s allows us to gain a better
understanding of the gender, social, political, and ethnic impacts (amongst others) of the Atlantic Slave
Trade upon an area that was a particularly heavy contributor to slave societies of the Western
Hemisphere. To do so, our analysis will first look at the sources available for such a task, including the
methodological problems they raise, and thereafter delve into the populational pasts of the Kingdom of
Kongo, Luanda and its Hinterland, Benguela and its Interior, and the port town of Moçamedes |

The political centrality of the modern state in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries does not hinder the development of research that includes other objects and theoretical discussions; on the contrary, political processes are considered beyond the relationship between State and civil society, which enables the development of research into different political organizations or power structures. The political dimension of the research does not exclude the dialogue between Cultural and Social History and the interface with other fields of historical study. The lines conceptual and methodological frame maintains its traditional interdisciplinary approach and establishes a dialogue with Anthropology, Political Science, Economics, Sociology, Psychoanalysis and Social Communication. Thus the press, political parties, trade unions, public policies, public opinion, intellectuals, ideas, elections, associations, armed conflicts, political movements, engaged cultural production, and institutions are objects of interest to this line of research. |
| Culture and Ethnicity |
This line of study gives emphasis to transdisciplinary works and promotes historical researches whose approaches employ concepts from different fields of human and social sciences. By focusing on the Iberian and American context from the point of view of social relations, shared practices and knowledge, artistic creation and the production of knowledge, this line underlines phenomena proper to modernity and experiences that transcend its own paradigms. Researches developed within this line of study encompass studies on representation, visual culture and ethnicity.
This type of research on culture comprises themes of historical interest, analysed from the perspective of perception, the attribution of meanings and the representation of reality in a particular historical context. Considering the American and Iberian cultural context during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this type of research encompasses the social politics of memory, artistic and intellectual creation in audio, visual and discursive languages, including routes, performances, networks and symbolic exchanges. The configuration of objects in this field tries to reveal historical situations determined according to the universe of beliefs, emotions and knowledge that have given them intelligibility and meaning in their own time.
Research on art, image and visual culture problematize the way the various types of images permeate everyday social life creating the visuality of an era, connecting production techniques and circulation of images to the ways of visualizing the different social groups and spaces, proposing a look at the world, mediating our understanding of reality and suggesting models of social action.
The production within this thematic line includes research on ethnicity that favours the methodological transit and transdisciplinarity between History, Archaeology and Anthropology, and deals with subjects from the pre-colonial period to contemporary research regarding different ethnic groups. Studies aimed at understanding the interethnic contact in the Ibero-American world via its numerous records, focus on the daily life and cultural manifestations of indigenous populations, caboclo and quilombola communities and other peoples on the fringes of pre-colonial and post-colonial history, using epistemological instruments for the development of analysis not restricted to the reductionist dualism of the societies in contact. |
| Society, Economic Development and Migration |
The present line of research favours studies on urban transformations and the network of contacts and relationships established in different processes of sociability. It uses the latest theoretical and methodological tendencies of social history and proposes a reflection on the varied social, economic and political ties observed in an urban space; it focusses on studies of the paths of groups and/or individuals, their social and territorial insertion and their experiences and displacements.
The identification of the space the different players, through their everyday practices, occupy in society allows the researcher to better understand their contribution in the transformation of cities, companies, industries, arts and crafts, professions and the effects of migration in society as a whole.
Issues related to work should also be a part of the considerations about everyday practices associated to societys economic and industrial development. In this context the role of the immigrant regards to entrepreneurship, technology and the circulation of ideas should be emphasised. Among the themes favoured by this line of research are studies of immigration to Brazil, focussing on transnationalism (economic, cultural and political) and the role of immigrants in the process of urbanization and social modernization of the country between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; the history of the press and its relationship with other spaces of intellectual production and the power of society; industrialization, planning and urbanization, emphasising the urban changes promoted by the phenomena of industrialization, the new waves of immigration and other forms of human mobility that occurred throughout the twentieth century.
The social dimension underlined by this line of research does not exclude the dialogue with cultural and political history and the interface with other areas of history. |
