Academic literature on the topic 'Heritage of Evora'

Between 1938 and 1943, Fascist intellectuals debated the problem of how to create a racial policy that would encompass the Japanese within the Aryan doctrine. This article demonstrates how internal divisions in the Fascist party over racial issues generated alternative versions of pro-Japanese propaganda, which influenced the racial thinking of the Italian far-right even long after the Second World War. I show how Italian racial theories developed to underpin the alliance with Japan were transnational in scope, as they involved both German and Italian scholars in a common effort to lobby state racial policies. Specifically, I consider George Montandon and Julius Evola as two transnational actors engaged in building a case for the inclusion of the Japanese in the family of Aryan races, speaking either from a ‘biological’ or ‘spiritual’ perspective. While by the end of the Second World War the ‘biological’ thesis for the inclusion of the Japanese race had evaporated, the ‘spiritual’ thesis would continue to influence a generation of Italian far-right militants, especially during the ‘Years of Lead’. To make sense of this legacy, I suggest that the foundational myth of Italian Fascism, based on the spiritual heritage of the multiethnic Roman empire, responded to the neofascist quest for transnational affiliations against Western materialism.

Abstract The pine processionary moth, Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Denis and Schiffermüller), is an important insect in the Mediterranean region, as it defoliates pines and its urticating hairs can cause allergic reactions in humans and animals. Moreover, this species exhibits an interesting genetic structure as recently a distinct East-North African mtDNA lineage (‘ENA clade’) has been described. This clade has been recently detected in Greek populations where it has currently expanded its range by replacing the ‘endemic’ T. pityocampa lineages. Here, we report new data on the rapid spread of ‘ENA clade’ in the Greek island Evoia in only a few years. As the underlying mechanisms of the ‘ENA clade’ range expansion has not been studied so far, we screened T. pityocampa for an infection with the heritable bacterial endosymbionts Wolbachia (Bacteria: Anaplasmataceae), Cardinium (Bacteria: Bacteroidaceae), Rickettsia (Bacteria: Rickettsiaceae) and Spiroplasma (Bacteria: Spiroplasmataceae). These bacteria can manipulate the reproduction of infected hosts, something that could potentially explain the rapid spread of ‘ENA clade’ lineage. Therefore, we screened 28 individuals that exhibited T. pityocampa ‘ENA clade’ and ‘endemic’ T. pityocampa haplotypes from nine populations scattered all over Greece. None of them was infected with any of the four endosymbionts, suggesting that these bacteria do not cause reproductive manipulations in T. pityocampa lineages and, thus, other factors should be explored in future research efforts.

El presente artículo estudia los procedimientos narrativos empleados en las novelas Hijo de ladrón (1951), Mejor que el vino (1958), Sombras contra el muro (1964) y La oscura vida radiante (1971) para rescatar y vindicar algunas figuras y sucesos de la contingencia histórica ácrata de comienzos del siglo XX. Los recursos empleados, en esta tarea de visibilización, son el nombre propio y la incorporación de elementos líricos y paremiológicos de corte libertario. Mediante estos procedimientos el narrador evoca ciertos acontecimientos y personajes del acervo cultural ácrata, cuya rememoración no ha sido parte del discurso historiográfico oficial.

A actual cultura de proliferação patrimonial, reveladora da revalorização da memória e das identidades locais, traduz-se, entre outros aspectos, por um interesse crescente pelo património fotográfico. A par da evolução dos conceitos de património e museu, a fotografia ganhou novos significados, pelo que novas reflexões se levantam no campo do estudo das colecções fotográficas. A partir de um caso concreto – a Colecção do Grupo Pró-Évora – evidencia-se a importância de encarar cada imagem como um "mapa de significados", que permita ir além da sua mera aparência visual. Do estudo conclui-se que a Colecção reproduz o imaginário patrimonial do Grupo Pró-Évora e que se integra de forma activa na construção da imagem pretendida para a cidade pelos seus membros. Face à extensão da Colecção e ao que nela se reflecte do ponto de vista da memória colectiva local, propõe-se a sua musealização e classificação como Bem Móvel de Valor Concelhio. /*** Abstract - The current interest in the culture of heritage, revealing the importance of memory and the local identities means, among other aspects, a growing interest in the photography heritage . Side by side with the evolution of the concepts of heritage and museum, the photography won new meanings in such a manner that new reflections about the study of photo collections must be done. Starting from a real case, the collection of Grupo Pró-Évora, it's possible to prove the important of looking at each image as a “map of meanings" which allow people to go beyond its visual appearance. The present study demonstrates that the collection reflects itself not only the heritage imaginary of the Grupo, but it also gives the true image of the town, the one, the members want to be known. Being such a rich and important collection, besides its value as collective memory, it's believed it should be musealised and classified as Valuable Council Heritage Property.

Este relatório traduz a investigação realizada no âmbito das unidades curriculares de Prática de Ensino Supervisionada em Ensino do 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico e em Educação Pré-Escolar, integradas no Mestrado em Educação Pré-Escolar e Ensino do 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico. A investigação decorreu em dois contextos, primeiramente numa turma de 4.º ano do 1.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico e, depois, numa sala de Educação Pré-Escolar. A investigação teve como objetivo analisar e refletir sobre o contributo para a aprendizagem da Geometria pelas crianças da exploração das conexões da Matemática com o património da cidade de Évora. Procurou responder às seguintes questões: Como evoluíram as crianças relativamente à sua capacidade de reconhecer e desocultar a Geometria no património arquitetónico? Que aprendizagens de conteúdos geométricos realizaram as crianças? Que características desta experiência se revelaram importantes para o sucesso das aprendizagens das crianças?. A investigação contextualizou-se no projeto MatÉvora — Conexões entre a Matemática e a Cidade, e desenvolveu-se segundo Design Research, na modalidade de experiência de ensino, que permite interrelacionar as práticas de ensino e a aprendizagem da Matemática, favorecendo uma intervenção regulada no contexto real. Assim, foi possível apreciar o desenvolvimento das crianças em Geometria, recolhendo dados através de questionários, entrevistas e análise das produções matemáticas face as tarefas propostas, o que permitiu ir aferindo o desenvolvimento da experiência de ensino. Esta investigação permitiu confirmar que as conexões com a arquitetura possibilitam o desenvolvimento do “olhar matemático”, ampliando a visão sobre alguns conteúdos matemáticos explícitos no património arquitetónico da cidade de Évora e apreciando o seu valor nas construções. As crianças da Educação Pré-Escolar focaram-se muito no reconhecimento de formas geométricas e os do 1º Ciclo ampliaram as ideias sobre simetrias e padrões, tendo sido fundamental para o seu desenvolvimento as tarefas. Estas permitiram a aquisição de atitudes de entreajuda, cooperação e empenho, onde se articulou os vários conhecimentos do domínio da Geometria, sendo posto em prática na resolução de problemas em contexto real, dando ênfase à comunicação das suas estratégias, o que foi melhor conseguido oralmente do que por escrito; Abstract: This report explains the investigation that was conducted in the context of the course units from the Supervised Teaching Pratice in Pre-School Education and 1 Cycle of Primary Education, integrated in the Master's degree in Preschool Education and Education of the 1st Cycle of Elementary School. The investigation was carried out in two environments, firstly with students from the fourth grade in the 1st Cycle of Elementary School, and then, with a preschoolers group. The investigation´s goal was to analise and think about the contribution to the childrens learning process of Geometry through the exploration of connections between Mathematics and the Heritage of Evora city, whilst trying to respond to the following questions: How did the children evolve relatively to their capacity of recognizing and discovering the Geometry in the architectural heritage? What did the children learn about geometrical content? Which characteristics of this experience showed to be important for the success of the children´s learning process? The investigation was set in the project MatÉvora — Connections between Mathematics and the City, and was developed according to Design Research, in the modality of experiential education, which allows to interconnect educational practices with the study of mathematics, encouraging a regulated intervention in a real environment. This way, it was possible to appreciate the children´s development in geometry, through gathering data in questionnaires, interviews and analysis of the mathematical results of proposed tasks, which then allowed to check the evolution of this teaching experience. This investigation allowed to confirm, that connections with architecture make the development of the “mathematical eye” possible, allowing the vision to extend to some mathematical concepts that are explicit in the heritage of Évora city, while also appreciating its value in the buildings. The preschoolers focused a lot on the recognition of geometrical forms and those of the 1st Cycle (4th grade) expanded their ideas on symmetry and patterns. The tasks that allowed the students to engage and to gain assistance and cooperation skills were fundamental for their evolution. They were able to articulate new skills in the field of Geometry, putting them into practice by solving problems in a real case scenario, emphasizing the communication of their strategies, which were better achieved orally than written.

O convento de Santa Mónica de Évora foi a primeira casa feminina da Ordem de Santo Agostinho a surgir em Portugal. Em 1380 fundou-se um recolhimento com as Beatas Pobres, que viria a ser transformado em espaço conventual, dependente do Ordinário local, aquando da finalização das obras da igreja em 1421. A presente Dissertação assenta na história do convento desde a sua fundação à sua extinção e na relação que manteve com as outras casas conventuais e com a malha urbana envolvente. Partiu-se depois para a redescoberta do antigo espaço conventual a partir dos espaços que subsistem do antigo cenóbio, procurando entender as profundas alterações na traça original mercê das significativas e diversas adaptações que o edifício conheceu até aos dias de hoje. A partir da “Redescoberta do convento de Santa Mónica” surgiram duas propostas de valorização: a primeira aposta na criação de um Roteiro, elaborado de molde a visitar na cidade parte do espólio do antigo convento, disperso por várias instituições estatais e religiosas da cidade; a segunda assenta no reaproveitamento de duas salas do rés-do-chão do antigo convento para a criação de um Centro de Interpretação e Documentação, dedicado à história do espaço e da Ordem agostinha em Portugal; ### Rediscovery of the Convent of Santa Monica, Evora –Bid of protection and appreciation to convent Augustine heritage Abstract: The convent of Santa Monica´s in Evora was the first house for Sisters of the Saint Augustine’s order, to arise in Portugal. In 1380, founded the shelter with Poor Sisters, that would be converted into the convent area as part of the main Bishop, by the time of the reconstrution’s completion of the church in 1421. This thesis is based on the history of the convent since its founding to its extinction and the connexion it kept with other conventual houses and with the envolving urban web. It started then to the rediscovery of the old conventual area based on the spaces that subsist from the old hermitage, looking to understand the deep modifications in the original web subjected to the significant and various adaptations that the building knew till nowadays. Since the “Rediscovery of the convent of Santa Monica”, two valorization offers have emerged: the first bid in the creation of an itinerary, elaborated aiming to visit in the city part of the assets of the old convent scattered among various state and religious institutions; the second bid is based on the reuse of two rooms of the ground floor of the old convent for the creation of a Center of Interpretation and Documentation, dedicated to the history of the space and of the Agostinha’s order in Portugal.
