This article discusses the formation of the Portuguese Anthropology team of the 20th century, led by António Jorge Dias, and their research and collection of artifacts related to Portuguese culture. The team dedicated themselves to the study of rural life, the characterization of Portuguese culture, and research in Portuguese colonies. They founded the Center for Ethnology Studies and the Center for Cultural Anthropology Studies, as well as planning the creation of a universal museum. The team's work resulted in various publications about rural life and traditional technologies in Portugal. The text portrays the daily lives of populations living in poverty, highlighting the need for cooperation to survive. During the revolutionary period of PREC, there were attempts to purge "colonial" elements from institutions linked to the Ministry of Overseas. The research team and the Ethnology museum faced unjust accusations, as they were always against the dictatorial regime. The photographic-ethno archive of the CEE does not reflect the political changes that occurred during the revolution. The team's writings show social and political concerns, reflecting the transformations that the country went through in the 60s and 70s. The Agrarian Reform is mentioned as one of the significant changes. The team acknowledges that the country has changed and highlights the importance of preserving ancestral knowledge. The article describes the creation of the National Museum of Ethnology in Portugal and the contribution of foreign anthropologists, such as José Cutileiro, to the research and understanding of Portuguese rural culture. The museum team held exhibitions and collected objects that portrayed the country's rural life. The anthropological project aimed to highlight the importance of material culture and people's daily lives. The article also mentions the death of Benjamim Pereira, a member of the museum team, and highlights his contributions to the field. [Extracted from the article]

This article deals with private property as a historical structure of the process of territorialization and territorial planning. Its strategic importance in the economy of pre-capitalist formations will be crucial for the differentiation between urban and rural space, configuration of cities and fields, and for the construction of a colonizing model that, in the Roman Empire, gives rise to a solid legal and symbolic apparatus that persists through space and time, in a long-term history, crossing seas, confronting peoples, cultures and places. Brought to Brazil as a basic territorial unit of Portuguese colonization, it still follows as a determining element of the organization of social space, either through urbanization, segregation, agribusiness advancement and the degradation of biomes and ways of life. Thinking and acting on a critical perspective imposes rethinking of private property, their social function and its role in the configuration of territories. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Jornal Enciclopédico was a Portuguese periodical impregnated with Enlightenment thinking that published important medical discussions for the Portuguese empire. as part of the set of publications for the popularization of knowledge that helped the diffusion of a public sphere, primarily located in the court, the journal had the participation of thinkers who advocated an attentive look at the people. In a related way to similar foreign newspapers, the document analyzed here examined diverse topics and had a body of authors and translators who intended to insert Portugal in the list of progressive countries, committed to the enlightenment of its people. A disease that was especially important for European imperialist domains, smallpox was an essential element of debate, and for this very reason, it received special attention from the journal’s editors. This article precisely discusses the insertion of this theme in the exchange of knowledge, through the Portuguese newspaper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to describe a brief history of the arrival of Protestantism of mission in Brazil, during the imperial period (1822-1889). For this purpose, we seek to develop the theme based on the understanding of the historical, cultural and social context of the country at that time and how the strategy of penetration of Protestant missionaries into the country occurred, which, until then, was an isolated and closed colony of Portugal. Among the main strategies, the propagation of the Bible was a significant difference in Protestant action, allowing the Holy Scripture to establish itself as a very present symbol of the new expression of Christian faith that arrived in Brazilian lands. It is noteworthy that the arrival of the Protestant faith in Brazil occurred through the main denominations existing at the time, namely, the Methodists, Congregationalists, Presbyterians, Baptists and Episcopalians. Finally, we seek to understand the developments caused by the presence of Protestants in the country, based on a social, educational and religious reality. The methodological option is based on a literature review. It is hoped that the reflections presented here will contribute to a better understanding of Brazilian Protestant history and identity.

In the third quarter of the 19th century, Macau, a Portuguese enclave in Chinese territory, became an important departure port for indentured labores. Official documents testify to the concern of the Portuguese metropolis with the growing flow of Chinese, the types of contracts, recruitment, transport conditions and the conditions of the barracks where they awaited shipment, in addition to the external repercussions involving the English, French and Chinese. This article studies the forced emigration of a group of Annamites kidnapped at sea by Chinese pirates and then sold as emigrants to emigration agents in Macau. A case study revealing some of the minutiae of the capillary business network with the aim of recruiting individuals and transforming them into indentured labores to supply the world's demand for cheap and disciplined labor.

The purpose of this paper is to present, as an object of possible research lines, the text of the representation dated August 4, 1777, coming from the chamber of Vila Real de Sabará, Minas Gerais, in which the officers address directly to Queen Maria I, arguing that it was no longer possible to maintain the voluntary subsidy - a tribute instituted to help in the reconstruction of Lisbon, after the earthquake of 1755 - given the decay in which the village and captaincy had been. In order to mark the existence and provenance of the diplomatic document, edited under semi-diplomatic norms, studies on its codicological, paleographic and diplomatic properties precede the analysis of the text.

This article delves into some of the ways in which the Portuguese language book markets were explored by one of the publishing clans that most influenced the field of publishing in Portugal between the end of the 19th century and the end of the 20th century: the Torres. On the basis of the case of Romano Torres, a publishing house established in Lisbon between 1886 and 1990 and dedicated to the publishing of books for mass consumption, analytical attention is paid to the relationship between this publishing house and the spaces of print culture circulation in Portuguese-speaking communities outside Portugal and how its activity was shaped by political, publishing and economic dynamics that affected its relationship with this heterogeneous geographical and social constellation: including Brazil, the former Portuguese colonies in Africa, and the Portuguese diaspora.

In their interesting study on Sport and Globalization, Toby Miller, Geoffrey Lawrence, Jim McKay and David Rowe (2001) observe a parallelism between the commercial boom of imperialist Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and the process of creating an order global for mass sports such as football, tennis, cricket, or athletics. The question of the expansion of the capitalist logic on sport is posed, as we will see below, in terms of the passage from British to North American imperialism. But there is another Empire, outside the concerns of the authors, within whose vast domains, a type of corporal practice also emerged, a warrior dance, a martial art, transformed at a given moment into a sport. We are talking about the great Portuguese empire, where capoeira emerged, an art whose study will allow us, reinforcing and expanding the theoretical perspective of Toby Miller and his companions, to emphasize the incorporation of sport, through the sportivization of the game, in the capitalist societies of the 20th century, as an important element for the intellectual construction of that nationalpopular culture that guarantees the hegemony, in the national space, of a social class that has the capacity to present, internally and externally, its particular interests as the interest of the whole of the people-nation and, with that, negotiating, even, especially in the current moment of globalization, its insertion in the different structures of international power.

This paper looks at the case against Francisco Jeronymo, a resident of the Ilha de Mussulo (Mussulo Island), who was accused of being a feitiçeiro by his neighbours. Based on his Auto de Investigação (Case Investigation) located in the Arquivo Nacional de Angola, it highlights some of the labour abuses of the Portuguese colonial state and shows how Africans appealed to colonial laws and republican ideals. By focusing on the testimonies within the Auto de Investigação, this paper explains why his neighbours accused him of being a witch, and how different actors made sense of their world.

This article deals with the Inquisition in Brazil and the role of the inquisitors in the procedural modus operandi of the ecclesiastical Tribunal of the Holy Office of Lisbon. The source documents indicate part of what was the Portuguese inquisition in Brazil during the colonization process of the territory. It seeks to understand the rite of the process through the actions of the inquisitors, the highest office in the organisation of the Holy Office of the Portuguese Inquisition. With this objective, it was necessary to approach documental sources such as the regulation, the manual for inquisitors and the cases of those accused of various crimes during the Tribunal of Lisbon. The study was realised based on primary sources and illustrated by a case in the colony of Brazil, among many others, providing details about the diverse cases that were judged in the tribunal of the Holy Office of Lisbon, as the Portuguese colony did have its own court yet installed. It is hoped that this study inspires further investigations into the subject with an eye towards studying the most varied processes of the inquisition in Brazil during the colonial period.

Photography had an important role in the elaboration of the colonial experience in the metropolis, once it had been used to record the colonial's own actions in their different areas and affirm their political ideas, fundamentally those that associated Portuguese nationality with a "gift of colonizing the world". In this sense, the article intends to analyze the Civilização magazine edition dedicated to the Portuguese Colonial Exhibition of 1934 to assess how the photographic images presented in it could expand the colonial propaganda messages of the regime at a time of construction of colonialism in the Estado Novo. These visual sources were not limited to that time. When made available online today, they continue to promote colonial experiences in a different way regarding the public's interaction with photography. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article "The Press and the Empire in Portuguese Africa (1842-1974)" by Isadora de Ataíde Fonseca analyzes the role of the press and journalism in the Portuguese colonies in Africa. The author demonstrates how the press contributed to the contestations, dilemmas, collaborations, and associativism in the Portuguese colonies throughout the political regimes in Portugal between 1842 and 1974. The press in the Portuguese colonies had a political profile and was a space for the first literary expressions in colonial spaces. During the Constitutional Monarchy, the Official Bulletin had regularity in Cape Verde, while there is little information about the press in São Tomé and Príncipe and Guinea during this period. During the Republic, there were few changes in Portuguese colonial policies regarding Africa. The article discusses the role of the press in Portuguese Africa during the colonial period, highlighting the different political orientations of the newspapers and their relationship with the current political regimes. The text mentions the creation of associations and leagues in the African colonies, which used the press as a means of claiming rights and political struggle. The author also addresses the instrumentalization of the press by the Estado Novo from the 1940s onwards and the emergence of African leaders who fought for the independence of the colonies. With the Carnation Revolution in 1974, the Portuguese colonies achieved independence and new periodicals emerged to manage the localities. Isadora de Ataíde Fonseca's work is highlighted as an important contribution to the study of the press in colonial Africa. [Extracted from the article]

In this study, we present the formation of the current district of Buenolândia, in the city of Goias/GO, from its historical reference to the socio-spatial and symbolic production of its inhabitants, through the Cultural approach in Geography. The objective of this discussion is based on a historical perspective that addresses the lived experiences of the inhabitants in the district's landscape, their footprints on this territory. A methodology used in this research, in addition to the bibliographic survey, was also carried out with visiting museums, reading collections and notary offices, field work, map making, theoretical elaboration and systematization. The structure of the article is divided into three parts: O Arraial and Sesmarias as the Landmark of Occupation of the Sertões of Minas dos Goyazes, The Parish of Nossa Senhora do Rosário da Barra and the Political-Legal Demarcation conferring the Normative Control of the Portuguese Colony and of the District of Buenolândia. It concludes with the reflection about this geographic space, with its administrative changes that permeate from the Arraial, the Parish to the District, going through its cycle of composite territorial formation and recognized so far.

The present research is an attempt to shed light on the importance of the participation of the Ilha de Santa Catarina in the process of primitive accumulation of capital that took place in the center of the european world-economy. There was a focus here on the period between the years 1747 and 1778. To tell this story, the experiences of various social agents were mobilized, such as navigators, local administrators and managers of the portuguese State. Gradually, a wide range of disputes between european colonialist powers for control of the area began to emerge, motivated by its strategic importance to ensure dominance in the Prata river region. However, this domain was not intended to be just military, since it also implied the control of merchant supply routes, as the island's products reached from the villages to the extreme south of the portuguese colonial complex in America and harbors to the north, more specifically, in Bahia and Pernambuco. This when they did not gain space throughout the south Atlantic market, as was the case of the train oil obtained in the island, through whaling, after being sent to the city of Rio de Janeiro.

This paper reflects on the use of Brazilian Cordel literature in the teaching of the Middle Ages based on two cordel booklets by the poet from Paraíba State, Brazil, Leandro Gomes de Barros: Batalha de Oliveiros com Ferrabrás (Battle of Oliveiros with Ferrabrás) and A prisão de Oliveiros e seus companheiros (The prison of Oliveiros and his companions). Although obtained at the beginning of the 20th century, these cordel booklets bring narratives inspired by the myths about Charlemagne and medieval chivalry, emphasizing how the christians fought against the muslim in the Middle Ages. These stories were made in the medieval period, being reworked and recreated over time until arriving in Brazil with Portuguese colonization, being part of the oral tradition mainly in the Northeast of Brazil. In this way, they bear marks of medieval reminiscences. Thus, this paper discusses the myth of Charlemagne and cavalry; the beginning of the "Carolingian cycle" in the Cordel literature; and the possibilities of using Leandro's cordel booklets in the Medieval History teaching.

The Minister of Justice, Francisca Van Dunem, spoke at the Intersectional Conference 2020 about incarceration and society. She highlighted the importance of institutions such as CEIS 20, CES, the Institute of Contemporary History, and the Faculty of Letters at the University of Coimbra in organizing the event. Van Dunem discussed intersectionality and the oppression faced by women, especially black women, and emphasized the need to combat all forms of discrimination. She shared her personal experience as a black woman born in Angola during the Portuguese colonial period. The text also addressed the history of colonization and apartheid in South Africa, as well as the racial and linguistic division imposed by the regime. The author mentioned their own experience as a mixed-race person during apartheid and highlighted the physical and symbolic violence suffered by black women during slavery. They also mentioned the strategy of divide and conquer used by colonial powers. The text made a comparison with the colonial reality in Angola, where there were distinct categories for indigenous people and assimilated people based on skin color. The author also mentioned the presence of the black population in Lisbon, which increased due to armed conflicts in the former Portuguese colonies. The text addressed the issue of racial and ethnic discrimination in Portugal, highlighting the persistence of these inequalities and the need to confront them. The author mentioned the existence of a belief system that perpetuates and institutionalizes itself, resulting in societies of enmity. The importance of fair and inclusive policies that consider the heterogeneity of the groups affected by discrimination was also mentioned. The text also presented data on the incarceration rate of foreign women in Portugal, which is higher than the European average. The author concluded by quoting James Baldwin and res [Extracted from the article]

The island of Ataúro, situated north of the capital of Timor-Leste, functioned as a prison island during the Portuguese colonial regime, more intensively from the 1920s onwards. During the Indonesian colonial period (1975-1999), the occupiers used the island to confine families of resistance members in open concentration camps, where hundreds of people died of hunger and malnutrition. In this paper, departing from an analysis of the memories and archival material on the former prisoners in Ataúro during the Indonesian occupation, I argue for the importance of telling and memorialising the histories of the island and people imprisoned there. Furthermore, I discuss memory and the colonial legacies, as some islands in the Pacific region remain territories deemed as repositories and detention sites for people fleeing from far away places marked by conflicts created by dictatorial and colonial regimes.

The article discusses the relationship between colonialism and the contemporary prison system in Portugal, highlighting the high incarceration rates and prison overcrowding in some locations. Although Portuguese law does not allow for the ethnic-racial categorization of the prison population, there is a high representation of black and Roma individuals in prisons compared to the general population. The article is part of a thematic issue of the e-cadernos CES journal, which explores the theme of incarceration and society in spaces marked by colonialism and its legacies. Additionally, the article presents a series of studies on the prison system and incarceration in different contexts, addressing topics such as deportation to an island during Indonesian occupation, war settlement camps in Portuguese colonialism in Guinea-Bissau, sanatoriums for children of leprosy patients in Brazil, gender configurations in prison regimes, drug policies in Portugal and Brazil, narratives of African-American political prisoners, and marginality as a place of resistance. The article also includes a speech by the former Minister of Justice of Portugal on racial issues and the need for fair and inclusive policies. [Extracted from the article]

This article studies the representation of the final years of Portuguese colonization in Lourenço Marques (currently Maputo, capital of Mozambique) in the literary book Caderno de memórias coloniais (2009), by the writer Isabela Figueiredo. It is about analyzing colonial writing from the perspective of two distinct generations: the colonialist father and the progressive daughter. The novel welcomes the promising shuffles of self-writing and paratexts, shedding light on the interfaces between an individual writing and the Portuguese collective memory of a national trauma. In his romanesque tessitura, Figueiredo seeks to escape the dangers of the unique story (ADICHIE) and writes, as Walter Benjamin teaches, a story to be opposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the second half of the 17th century, the Portuguese monarchy, recently restored, faced many difficulties to consolidate itself. In a long process of negotiation, adaptation and centralization, the crown sought to defend and control its colonial space, managing to impose the defense costs of Brazil on the residents of the colony, who also had to contribute to the expenses of the metropolis in Europe.

This article discusses the construction of regional identities in the colonial society of Portuguese America. Through the analysis of the discursive value of Portuguese-Brazilian chronicles made throughout the 18th century, we seek to outline such a panorama and the plans for integrating Brazil to Portugal in these narratives. Also noteworthy are the local genealogical inventions in the face of the socio-racial miscegenation of this historical formation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
