Pedro Páez’s History of Ethiopia 1622
This book, in two volumes, contains an annotated English translation of the História da Ethiópia by the Spanish Jesuit missionary priest Pedro Páez (Pêro Pais in Portuguese), 1564-1622, who worked in the Portuguese padroado missions, first in India and then in Ethiopia, long thought to be the kingdom of the legendary Prester John. His history of Ethiopia was written in Portuguese in the last ten years of his life and survives in only two manuscri…
Suddenly last summer: How the tourist tsunami hit Lisbon
En el presente artículo fijamos nuestra atención en la capital de Portugal, Lisboa, y su\n\t\t\t\t reciente proceso de turistificación, que ha forzado a una revisión colectiva de la identidad\n\t\t\t\t de la ciudad y sus narrativas patrimoniales, para encajar los crecientes contrastes entre\n\t\t\t\t marginalidad y centralidad, circulación y calma, abandono y atención pública, indigencia\n\t\t\t\t y afluencia, spleen y euforia. Después de introdu…

Ceci n’est pas un Dessin: Notes on the Production and Sharing of Fieldwork Sketches
Whereas the topic of how anthropologists link intimate written information gathered in the field with public production of knowledge in academic format – the so-called "writing culture" (an expression originated in Clifford and Marcus 1986) –, seems all but exhausted today, little attention has historically been given to the place and goals of sketching as part of that meandering process. The present contribution discusses the ontological and soc…
The Indigenous and the Foreign in Christian Ethiopian Art: On Portuguese-Ethiopian contacts in the 16th-17th centuries : papers from the Fifth International Conference on the History of Ethiopian Art …
In the rural plateaux of northern Ethiopia, one can still find scattered ruins of monumental buildings that are evidently alien to the country's ancient architectural tradition. This little-known and rarely studied architectural heritage is a silent witness to a fascinating if equivocal cultural encounter that took place in the 16th-17th centuries between Catholic Europeans and Orthodox Ethiopians. The Indigenous and the Foreign in Christian Ethi…
Stop the Academic World, I Wanna Get Off in the Quai de Branly. Of sketchbooks, museums and anthropology
Drawing as part of ethnographic observation practices has been systematically undervalued in anthropology, due to an academic tradition that has long favoured realist writing. Yet, sketching, not only as part of one’s fieldwork activities, but as a means to convey one’s first-hand impressions and interpretations can be given some room in academic publishing, if its rules are to be tweaked and image-recognition and tagging are introduced. To help …

African Dynamics in a Multipolar World
at Goldsmiths, the University of London, with long-standing fieldwork in Meru, Kenya, originally on ritual and age-set formation, but more recently on accidental death
African dynamics in a multipolar world
African Dynamics in a Multipolar World
Fifty years after the foundation of the OAU and the consolidation of most African states and institutions, the international panorama and Africa’s position in it have changed considerably. The world's geopolitical and economic configuration has evolved, with new actors appearing in a new period of globalization. In tone with ECAS 2013, this volume proposes that the experiences appearing in Africa question dominant paradigms in terms of political …

O pensamento sizígio: Confronto, Combinação E Transformação Nos Bestiários Medievais
Através da análise de certas informações provenientes da literatura enciclopédica clássica e medieval europeia, é possível evidenciar a riqueza de um quadro discursivo fortemente associado à manipulação de sistemas taxinómicos por uma lógica que poderia ser designada como sizígia. A dialéctica da confrontação entre adversários com naturezas oponíveis, a reversibilidade de certas transformações morfológicas ou comportamentais, sendo configurações …
