How tradition and innovation echoes in Jorge de Henin’s memorial

Publication . Avelar, Ana Paula

This chapter aims to demonstrate how in the Description of the Kingdoms of Morocco (1603-1613): Memorial of Jorge de Henin, the author innovates using tradition history and memory concepts. While portraying the Europe of the late 16th century and early 17th century, we outline a brief biography of Jorge de Henin, of his sojourn in Ottoman and Moroccan lands, and his career under the Spanish crown. Through paradigmatic examples, we unfold tradition and innovation in the writing and drawing of the history of Morocco’s kingdoms between 1603-1613, given its reformist ideal. In his memorial, the author advocated using force by the Spanish empire in Moroccan space, arguing that it would reinforce an ideal of an empire whose unity would be achieved by a new universalism, grounded in a single Christian and European civilization.

Snu Abecassis (Copenhague, 1940 – Lisboa, 1980)

Publication . Melo, Daniel

Snu Abecassis, cuyo nombre de nacimiento era Ebba Merete Seidenfaden, fue la principal mentora e impulsora de la fase inicial de la editorial Publicações Dom Quixote, que fundó el 16/03/1965, junto con su marido Vasco Abecassis (abogado) y António Neves Pedro, que había trabajado anteriormente en la editorial británica Penguin y en la portuguesa Publicações Europa-América (PE-A). En 1966, se sustituyó a este último en la dirección literaria por Carlos de Araújo, quien ocupó el cargo y asistió a Snu en la dirección editorial hasta abril de 1974, siendo también políglota y antiguo empleado de PE-A. La idea de crear una editorial intervencionista, actual y de calidad partió de Snu, inspirada por su implicación familiar (sus padres fueron resistentes y periodistas antinazis, su padrastro fue el heredero de una influyente editorial escandinava, Bonnier, y anfitrión de escritores nominados al Premio Nobel de Literatura, junto con su madre, que también trabajó en Penguin Books y Bonnier), su educación intelectual y cosmopolita y su personalidad combativa y prodemocrática. Cuando se instaló en Portugal con su marido, Snu decidió inmediatamente crear esta editorial, a la edad de 25 años.

Emerging boundaries of human rights, conviviality, and social science of globalization: critiques in search of new dynamics

Publication . Jacquinet, Marc; Bussotti, Luca; Nhaueleque, Laura

The panel deals with three interrelated issues – even if their commonness does not seem that obvious – of the current transformations of global societies and social sciences across very diverse geographical areas around the globe: human rights, conviviality (Caillé) and the issue of the “global” in social sciences. Each subject is contested. Each has reached a “frontier” and the debate turns around the question of regress or new ways of expansion. So, the question is what are the dynamics of new phenomena that try to cross the frontier.
