📖 In the week in which we're hosting the most important congress on historiography and the theory of history, we're sharing a recent chapter by Luís Trindade that focuses precisely on the problems of historiography in the 21st century.
It was published in the book "Les belles époques de Dominique Kalifa" (Éditions de la Sorbonne), directed by Arnaud-Dominique Houte.
Next week, we'll be welcoming hundreds of historians from all over the world to Lisbon for the 5th conference of the International Network for Theory of History!
The final programme in now on our website: three keynotes, five round tables and dozens of parallel sessions.
✍️ Práticas da História has new call for papers open: João Pedro Lourenço and Maria da Conceição Neto are coordinating the dossier "History and memory: epistemological re-reading of Africa's past in a post-colonial context".
📅 Proposals (max.500 words) must be submitted by 31 July.
🆕 We begin the week of 25 April with excellent news: Luís Trindade, Zélia Pereira and José Neves have had their projects funded by the FCT under the "25 April and Portuguese Democracy" competition. :ablobcatrave:
ℹ️ To find out more details of the new projects, read the news on our website:
✍️ Until 30 April, you can still submit your manuscript for the issue of Práticas da História dedicated to the theme "(Digital) Retrospectives on African Historiography: Decolonisation, the African press and the uses of knowledge".
The editors are Noemi Alfieri and Cassandra Mark-Thiesen.
Bought it for my kids’ library and read this graphic novel myself in less than a couple hours.
The book is a great “measured use of historical imagination” to humanize and provide context to history using documentation, to connect dots and portray a plausible narrative.
Everyone is beyond the wildest dreams of ancestors who survived everything that came before.
✍️ A new call for papers has opened for the journal Práticas da História:
edited by Noemi Alfieri and Cassandra Mark-Thiesen, the theme of the issue will be "(Digital) Retrospectives on Historiography from Africa: Decolonization, the African press, and the uses of knowledge".

🆕 On 31 January, we will kickstart a new Joint International Workshop with Goldsmiths, University of London, dedicated to anti-colonial history and postcolonial legacies.
The meeting will take place at the NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities and will have Yuri Slezkine (University of California, Berkeley) as a special guest.
📖 2023's second issue of #HoST — Journal of History of Science is now online. The theme is "Social History of Science and Historiography: Where are We in Brazil?".
I'm forever annoyed about the lack of public engagement by #historians.
While I understand that a lot of minute details in #historiography would not interest the masses, a lot of topics & "truths" that are presented in media & public #education are simply false (or distorted) & few phd-having historians seem to have time to correct them.
(Outburst triggered by learning too many new things about Sparta, British Blitz propaganda, post-Roman Romanisms... )
🗣 Reminder: the call for papers for the 5th conference of the International Network for Theory of History is underway, with the theme "History & Responsibility: Doing History in Times of Conflicting Political Demands".
It will take place at the National Library of Portugal.
