O artigo explora de que formas a maternidade é abordada em alguns dos contos que compõem a coletânea Insubmissas L.grimas de Mulheres, da escritora brasileira Conceição Evaristo. O objetivo é traçar paralelos entre experiências comuns às mulheres negras e como isso se reflete nas suas vivências maternas. Tripla opressão, dororidade e afrobrasilidade são os principais eixos acionados. Conclui-se que os contos situam a maternidade dentro de estruturas e relacionamentos, muitas vezes, opressores. Porém, a partir de soluções elaboradas com base em referenciais próprios, a relação com os filhos configura o elemento capaz de impulsionar as personagens mães a buscarem melhores alternativas para si e para eles. Desse modo, a literatura negra produzida e defendida por Conceição Evaristo apresenta uma maternidade conduzida por mães negras que maternam filhos negros, cuja potência se mostra emancipadora.

D. Pedro, Duke of Coimbra, was killed in Alfarrobeira when he was heading to the kingdom’s capital with his army and his son D. Jaime in order to capture the city. He was severely punished along with his sons and supporters with the punishment of damnatio memoriae and the confiscation of the right to property. Among the siblings who strove the most for the rehabilitation of the defeated are, not D. Henrique, but rather D. Isabel, fraternal sister of the former regent and friendly aunt of her nephews, who, although living in Burgundy, was always close to the Avis family. She immediately took the initiative, through her experienced ambassador, Jean Jouffroy, to reverse the situation of punishment that had befallen her family. As the court resisted the ambassador’s appeals and the legal justifications, having made few concessions to his pleas, she welcomed her brother’s children to Burgundy and projected them to international careers — stabat amǐta (paternal aunt)

There are several mythical representations of the visceral connection of mothers to their children, transmitted by the Greek and Latin literary tradition. This text aims to present some of them based on two distinct themes: 1) motherhood as a threat to the world of men; and 2) the mother’s experience of losing her children. The textual corpus under discussion includes excerpts from Homer’s Iliad, Hesiod’s Theogony, and the Homeric Hymn to Demeter.

The article explores the civil and parish death records and analyses the circumstances of the formation of the district of Beija-Flor, which came to be called Bela Flor in 1895, which gave rise to the vila de Guanambi, in the backland of Bahia. In addition to the causes of death, it investigates aspects related to socioeconomic status, lack of medical care, illiteracy, local politics, gender, and ethnicity. It checks the extent of the district, identifying 71 places of death. The high occurrence of maternal deaths, neonatal tetanus, tuberculosis, and infections in general, including epidemic outbreaks in 1892 and 1896, as well as the high number of deaths of people under 50, reflect the precarious health conditions experienced between 1891 and 1913.

This article focuses on the affirmation and sustainability of vines and wine, articulated with cereal farming in the Douro Superior, and analises three phases of its vineyard evolution: the first, embryonic and of reduced commercial expression, prior to the phylloxera outbreak; the second, of progressive affirmation, from the last quarter of the 19th century to the demarcations of 1907-1908, with the institutional recognition of the enlargement of the Douro Demarcated Region to the border with Spain; the third, in the course of 20th century, corresponding to the development and wine consolidation of this sub-region, which today produces Port wine and high quality DOC wines. It is part of a vast field of research on the process of transformations of the Douro Regional Space2, the expansion of the vineyard with intra-regional differences and the economic and institutional changes in the Port wine sector, during the temporal arc considered

According to our calculations, more than two hundred ships were sunk by German submarines off the Portuguese coast during the First World War. In the last few years, historiography has produced several pages about the operability of German submarine warfare, although we still do not know its social and economic impacts. Taking into account the latest scientific advances, we propose new problematics around this subject by correlating new data, in order to ascertain the direct and indirect impacts of German submarine warfare on Portuguese society and economy during the Great War.

Torre do Tombo is the largest Portuguese archive. Its content, initially kept in a tower of the São Jorge castle in Lisbon, has been expanded over the centuries, despite the historical and natural incidents that have surrounded its priceless heritage, at certain times in our history. One of the broadest collections in the national archive concerns the fund Gavetas, composed of thousands of documents from the 12th century to the present. This paper intends to make a state of the art about the bibliographic production related to this collection Gavetas and its content, in order to systematise the compiled information that could be used for future historical and historiographic works.

The present study aims to explicit the various positive heritage values inherent to the dwellings built in the city of Oporto as part of the operations undertook by the Service of Local Ambu‑ latory Support (SAAL). Acknowledging these structures as testimony of a defining moment for the establishment of national identity – post 25th April 1974 –the appeal and validity of the safekeeping of these architectures will be grounded on the analysis of other case studies, relevant to the apprecia‑ tion of Social Housing as a strong contribute towards the enrichment of national culture, finalizing with a presentation of heritage management methodologies applicable to the case in question.

Vernacular photography freezes the memory of an event or person and is an important document for understanding visual culture. However, we do not all understand its historical and heritage importance. Vestígios: Fotografia&Memória emerges as a project that focuses on raising awareness of the appreciation and protection of this document. It is a project aimed at children between 4 and 11 years old, which through educational materials and programs of unprecedented activities, reflect on photography as a heritage asset and activating element of memory and identity. In this article, we present the programs implemented in Mundo Património (SPIRA), the teaching materials — music and guides — and the results obtained.
