Chronique d'une calamité annoncée
Au Portugal, le feu, un élément central du paysage rural des communautés agropastorales du milieu du xxe siècle, a donné lieu à des grands incendies estivaux, actuellement considérés comme une calamité qui se produit fréquemment, provoquant des pertes écologiques, économiques et même humaines. Quelles sont les causes de ce changement ? À partir d'un corpus d'archives et d'entretiens réalisés dans le cadre de l'étude de cas des montagnes de Lapa e…

An Early Bioinvasion in the Azores. Global Circulation and Local Dynamics (1840s–1860s) in Response to the Brown Soft-Scale Coccus hesperidum
Bioinvasions occurred in the past as they do in the present, raising a set of ecological, economic, cultural and scientific changes. This paper focuses on how people dealt with and overcame the introduction and spread of the brown soft scale (Coccus hesperidum) in the Azorean orange groves in the 1840s–1860s. It describes the difficulties in the detection and the identification of the causal agent, the underestimation of the impacts in the early …
The spectre of historical crop losses
Calamities in agricultural production have emerged as a relevant research topic for global food security in the current context of adaptation to climate change. Historians have been participating in this research by examining crop losses in the past. However, they face challenging questions and methodological issues when evaluating the magnitude, intensity and social relevance of damages caused by adverse climate events and plant pests and diseas…
Cormac Ó Gráda on Food, Famines and Diseases
In this interview, Cormac Ó Gráda recalls how he arrived at the topic of famine, starting from economics and the historical Irish case, and how, later on, he started working the subject in other geographic areas. At the same time, Ó Gráda defines the concept of famine, shares his opinion concerning the debate over the causes of famine throughout history (nature vs. society), and identifies some of its effects on population, such as mortality or r…
Iberians against locusts
Insects that are potentially harmful to agriculture have shaped agricultural practices and policy-making worldwide. For some species and geographies, historical research still needs to be done. This is not only crucial to understanding the past, but also the present and future of pest surges. An overview of Iberian history in relation to the Moroccan locust (Dociostaurus maroccanus) between 1898 and 1947 reveals a) the historical distribution of …

Disasters, environmental changes and migration in historical perspective, an interview with Uwe Lübken
Evaluating and fostering transparency in local administrations. The methods used to evaluate the transparency of local administrations present notable differences that are influenced by national legislation and administrative characteristics. Consequently, it is difficult to formulate a valid international procedure to obtain a global picture. We have conducted a comparative analysis of the procedure developed by Transparency and Integrity in Por…
Landscapes of Portugal in Two Hundred Years of Narratives
Whether as a romantic depiction or with a pretension to realism, rural life was a classic topic throughout the nineteenth and the twentieth centuries. A few writers represented the impending threats to the natural environment as a consequence of human actions, such as deforestation and poaching. More recently, literary landscape incorporates the profound changes the country has undergone in the last decades, and a global environmental reality at …
Birds in Portuguese Literature
Birds are emblematic natural elements of landscapes. Readily noticeable and appreciated due to their songs and flight, they have been thoroughly used as components of literary scenarios. This paper analyses their representations in a broad corpus (144 writings by 67 writers) since the nineteenth century, divided in three time-periods. It aims to understand which wild birds are represented in Portuguese literature, how those representations prevai…
Living with the Beast
This paper explores representations of wolves in Portuguese literature using an anthropological framework to analyze perceptions, beliefs, knowledge, and practices. From a literary corpus compilation, 262 excerpts from 68 works that made reference to wolves were classified by grid analysis into 12 categories, encompassing the diversity of meanings attributed to these animals. Among wild carnivores, the wolf appears most frequently in the literary…
Exploring Literary Landscapes
This article argues that the study of literary representations of landscapes can be aided and enriched by the application of digital geographic technologies. As an example, the article focuses on the methods and preliminary findings of LITESCAPE.PT—Atlas of Literary Landscapes of Mainland Portugal, an on-going project that aims to study literary representations of mainland Portugal and to explore their connections with social and environmental re…
Studying Urban Space and Literary Representations Using GIS
This article proposes a methodology to address the urban evolutionary process, demonstrating how it is reflected in literature. It focuses on “literary space,” presented as a territory defined by the period setting or as evoked by the characters, which can be georeferenced and drawn on a map. It identifies the different locations of literary space in relation to urban development and the economic, political, and social context of the city. We sug…
