Colonial and post-colonial narratives about Gorongosa (Mozambique) Authors: Frazão-Moreira, Amélia Abstract: A "sea of trees" was the term chosen by Lynne Tinley (wife of the environmentalist Ken Tinley), in 1968, to describe the nuances of the colors of the Gorongosa National Park (Mozambique) environment. Observed colors, but mostly sensed colors. This communication will give voice to the testimonies of different social actors (hunters, journalists, writers, tourists, conservationists) trying to understand the views and feelings of nature in colonial and postcolonial eras. The reports of those who were, however briefly, in Gorongosa, allow us to understand emotions, nostalgia, differences and recurrences in the way of appropriating nature. These experiential narratives give us historical and ideological constructions of Africa. Description: 8º Congresso Ibérico de Estudos Africanos (CIEA8).

La question du rapport tensionel entre mobilité et ancrage territorial était à l’origine du projet de travail. Il s'agissait de comprendre les processus de construction des univers culturels et identitaires des différents membres de la famille, en tenant compte du fait qu’ils vivent en voyage constant entre deux petits villages portugais et la ville de Paris.

This presentation synthesises the main results related to the medicinal uses of the wild flora, highlighting the most quoted species, homemade medicines and ritual plants involved in therapy.

Traditional uses and bioactive compounds of six common medicinal species Authors: Carvalho, Ana Maria; Barros, Lillian; Ferreira, Isabel; Frazão-Moreira, Amélia Abstract: Ethnobotanical surveys conducted in north-eastern Portugal along several years (2000-2009) reported plant knowledge and use of almost 150 wild species used in folk medicine. This poster documents traditional knowledge and reports the first approach to the antioxidant potential evaluation of six of these species with particular cultural significance, Glechoma hederaceae (1), Foeniculum vulgare (2), Malva sylvestris (3), Oregano virens (4), Rosa canina (5), Thymus mastichina (6), accessed by biochemical assays used as models for the lipid peroxidation damage in biomembranes. Bioactive compounds such as phenolics, flavonoids, vitamin C and vitamin E were also determined.
