Traditional Knowledge for Ecological Sustainability in Ria de Aveiro’s Cultural Ecosystem
This study examines how traditional artistic expressions may be interpreted as forms of ecological resistance and political engagement toward sustainability. Focusing on the agro-maritime moliceiro community in Ria de Aveiro, northwestern Portugal, it explores how their artifacts, artistic practices, identity, and economic activities are intricately connected to a fragile lagoon ecosystem increasingly threatened by environmental degradation. Usin…

Changing Perspectives
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the notions of social life as we know them, so it is important to develop and mediate projects that meet the contexts of great social transformation we live. The COVID-19 crisis also affected rural areas that have sought to control rural exodus. However, new opportunities emerged for rural territories as the world adapted to the pandemic. In the central region of Portugal, the Association for the Integrated Deve…
Arte(s) Urbana(s), Ricardo Campos e Sílvia Câmara, V.N.Famalicão
Na contracapa de Arte(s) Urbana(s), os autores Ricardo Campos e Sílvia Câmara apresentam-nos a obra com a seguinte sinopse : A arte urbana corresponde a um movimento artístico que, não sendo propriamente novo, tem tido uma crescente visibilidade desde o início do milénio. A arte urbana converteu-se gradualmente num elemento familiar, marcando a paisagem da cidade contemporânea. Está presente em muros, fachadas, postes, calçadas, mobiliário urbano…
Interculturalidad y multiculturalidad en las humanidades
Este artículo aborda el concepto de la interculturalidad en las humanidades como movimiento, comunicación y dinámica, con el propósito de discutir sus consecuencias pragmáticas en el mundo académico y la sociedad. Nos proponemos examinar algunas prácticas y estrategias de interacción cultural, en su movimiento perpetuo, en una indefinición peligrosa pero estimulante de límites. En la diversidad cultural contemporánea, pasado y presente, global y …
Women Writing the Exotic
This essay combines ideas derived from social history, literary criticism, and cultural studies in order to illustrate the notion of exoticism in late nineteenth-century Portuguese discourse about the Far East, which is still implicit in many contemporary representations of Asia by the Western imaginary. Using the example of Journal of a Journey to Timor [Diário de uma Viagem a Timor] (1882-1883), by Isabel Tamagnini, the essay explores the impli…
Writing and Living on the Stage of History
This article studies the intercultural trajectory of a Portuguese female aristocrat of the eighteenth to nineteenth centuries. Her trajectory of intercultural transition from a Portuguese provincial lady into an independent owner of a sugar mill in tropical Bahia is documented through family letters, which provide a polyphonic representation of a movement of personal, family, and social transculturation over almost two decades. Maria Bárbara bega…

Intersections of Gender, Books, and Power
This essay discusses some political and theoretical texts on gender in Southeast Asia in general, and in East Timor in particular, with a view to examine values related to traditional female roles, as well as the strategies used to recognize women in political and social fields that are conventionally dominated by males. In the post-colonial space of East Timor, the intersections of past and present, of the global and the local, of war and peace,…
Culture, Politics and Identity
This article discusses some critical readings of theoretical texts on gender in Southeast Asian countries, where the intersections of past and present, of the global and the local, capitalism, post-colonialism and post-modernism define the guidelines to explore the negotiation and evolution of gender concepts. Gender issues are located not only within structures of symbolic meaning, but also in relation to the historical and political forces that…
A Correspondência Luso-Brasileira
O artigo explora a experiência intercultural entre Portugal e o Brasil, entre 1807 e 1823, de duas famílias oriundas da pequena nobreza rural do Norte de Portugal, com especial atenção ao percurso intercultural feminino. A Correspondência é uma representação polifónica de um movimento de transculturação pessoal, familiar, social e grupal, ao longo de quase duas décadas, e funciona como uma tradução por vezes consecutiva, outras vezes simultânea, …
All the World in a Boat”
This essay sees “through” an object produced by Portuguese folklore: the moliceiro boat of Ria de Aveiro, whose most original characteristic is the group of four different panels painted on each boat. These unique panels have echoed national mythologies and have undergone influence from institutional channels of instruction and propaganda for much of the twentieth century. We will analyse how this boat expresses the inventory of a community’s ide…
A cultura popular portuguesa e o discurso do poder
O presente ensaio estuda um objecto e o discurso por ele evocado, enquanto representação, invenção e re-invenção da cultura popular de uma região portuguesa. Contudo, pretende também ver através do objecto, isto é, “atravessar a [sua] opacidade inoportuna”, tal como propõe Michel Foucault em A Arqueologia do Saber. Esse objecto é o barco moliceiro da Ria de Aveiro que, mais do que um caso de tradição versus modernidade, constitui uma representaçã…
Folk Culture and Political Power

The ar ticle examines how the painted panels have been invented and reinvented over time. The boat and its panels are contextualized both within the changing socio-economic conditions of the Ria de Aveiro region, and the changing socio-political conditions of Portugal throughout the 20th century and until the presen…
