Seminar in Medieval Studies: “Los monasterios jerónimos en el panorama de la arquitectura monástica peninsular. Un puente entre dos mundos” – Eduardo Carrero Santamaría (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona)

Few monastic orders have more conjecture surrounding them than the Hieronymite monks, the only one of Iberian foundation and whose male branch expanded exclusively throughout the Peninsula. They were born in the midst of the definition of the so-called devotio moderna, in the Castile of the 19th century, and with a triple nationality: Italian, Castilian […]

Seminar in Medieval Studies: “Nacionalismo e internacionalidade na historiografia sobre a arquitetura do mosteiro da Batalha: de Frei Manuel dos Santos a Mário Chicó, com uma lenda de permeio (1729-1956)” – Pedro Redol (Convent of Christ, Machado de Castro National Museum, Monastery of Batalha)

As an (imperfect) review of the literature on the architectural history of the Monastery of Batalha, we propose a dynamic approach based on the dichotomy between its Portuguese and international roots generated by the successive nationalist theses and their antitheses. This tour demonstrates how the well-known tale The Vault (1401) by Alexandre Herculano crystallised the […]

Lisbon Meeting Action Cost WORCK

WORCK represents a radical change of perspective in labour history by considering that different labour relations have coexisted, intertwined, and overlapped throughout history.

Rejecting the […]

Seminar in Medieval Studies: “Challenging the Venetian Mainland State. Venice and Portugal in the Fifteenth century” – Daniele Dibello (Ghent University)

Gian Galeazzo Visconti’s death in 1402 created a significant power vacuum in northern Italy. Venice feared that the Carraresi would have encircled it by threatening land routes for its trade with Italy and Europe. The Venetian choice of military intervention initiated an extraordinary territorial expansion for the Serenissima, which added a mainland state to its […]
