- Terminologia na humanização da saúdePublication . Costa, Rute; Ramos, Margarida; Canelas, Ana Matilde; Mouro, Ana Luísa; Centro de Linguística da UNL (CLUNL); Departamento de Linguística (DL); CHAM - Centro de HumanidadesO artigo apresenta a investigação realizada no âmbito do projeto HEREDITARY, enquadrada teoricamente na dupla dimensão da terminologia – linguística e conceptual – e na ciência cidadã enquanto processo de coprodução de conhecimento. Especialistas asseguram a exatidão científica das definições simplificadas, enquanto participantes não especialistas validam a compreensão, resultando num processo de dupla validação que reforça a fiabilidade e a utilidade dos resultados. Descrevem-se a constituição do corpus, a seleção de termos e conceitos, a metodologia de tratamento e análise dos dados, bem como o processo de validação terminológica. O estudo evidencia a relevância da terminologia para a comunicação e humanização em contextos científicos e médicos.
- Television and older adults' navigational health literacyPublication . Marques, Sandra C S; de Pina, Deisy; Doetsch, Julia N; Instituto de Comunicação da NOVA (ICNOVA); SAGE PublicationsLow health literacy, associated with poorer outcomes and higher costs for health systems and users, disproportionately affects older adults. In Portugal, 80.6% of individuals aged 65+ have insufficient health literacy. This qualitative study employed a sequential triangulation design to examine television's role in mediating older adults' navigational health literacy (HL-NAV). We purposively sampled 112 episodes across seven programmes on four national channels over 13 weeks and conducted focus groups with 22 older adults following curated TV screenings. Data were analysed using content and discourse analysis separately, then comparatively integrated across domains, guided by the HLS19-NAV framework. Findings reveal that televised health narratives are fragmented, biased, and predominantly promote individual responsibility and self-care, offering limited support for navigating the health system. These representations intersect with older adults' accounts, highlighting gaps and barriers to HL-NAV. Results underscore the need to integrate TV into national health literacy strategies and develop targeted media interventions.
- Religious Atmosphere and Spirit of Place at the Santa Maria Scala Coeli MonasteryPublication . Castro, Maria João; CHAM - Centro de HumanidadesThis study examines how the contemplative atmosphere of the Santa Maria Scala Coeli Monastery in Évora, Portugal, has been sustained despite the transition of its resident religious community from the male Carthusian Order to a female contemplative community of the Servidoras do Senhor e da Virgem de Matará. The research aims to analyze how spatial enclosure, temporal discipline, and embedded religious memory contribute to the continuity of spirit of place within a monastic site undergoing institutional change. This study employs a qualitative approach using spatial phenomenology and a narrative-oriented design. Data were collected through field observation of the monastery’s spatial configuration, visual documentation of architectural and landscape elements, and documentary analysis of historical, architectural, and institutional sources. The findings show that the contemplative atmosphere of Scala Coeli is produced through three interrelated dimensions: the layered architecture of enclosure that regulates access and withdrawal, the repetitive temporal order of bells, liturgy, silence, and ascetic routine, and the persistence of spiritual memory within the built environment during and after community transition. The study also finds that the departure of the Carthusian monks in 2019 and the installation of a female religious community in 2022 did not automatically dissolve the contemplative character of the monastery. Instead, the atmosphere continues through the relative stability of its architectural structure, the sedimentation of religious practices in space, and the renewed operation of clausura. The implications of this study lie in its contribution to the study of religious architecture, sacred atmosphere, and lived religion, particularly in showing that the continuity of contemplative space may persist across institutional and gendered transitions. The originality of this research lies in its integration of architectural analysis, temporal discipline, and community transformation within a single narrative-phenomenological framework for interpreting the continuity of spirit of place in a monastic environment.
- Chasing the lightPublication . Vieira, Nina; Vieira, Carla; CHAM - Centro de Humanidades; Departamento de História (DH); University PressValued mainly for their spermaceti oil, and the clean, bright light it produces, sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) populations have been globally reduced in number by three quarters since large-scale hunting began in the 1700s. Sperm whale oil and spermaceti have been used since ancient times for lighting and medicine, but, as we argue in this article, the invention of spermaceti candles was a detonator event both for humans and for sperm whales. Taking perspectives from environmental and energy history, this paper analyses sperm whale hunting in the North and South Atlantic and the concomitant transformation of animal body parts into material commodities and, ultimately, light. Our discussion revolves around a specific whaling operation in colonial Brazil, in the second half of the 1700s, as a case study for understanding how knowledge and technological transfer were fostered by empirical expertise and technical innovation. We show how Portuguese interest in spermaceti had been growing since the mid-eighteenth century and describe the endeavours undertaken to discover, exploit and commercialize this source of illumination. Fundamentally, we are interested in how the pursuit of light impacted an ecologically vulnerable non-human species but also stimulated technological innovation and the production of new forms of knowledge.
- Approaches to a History of Portuguese Colonial Tourist TravelPublication . Castro, Maria João; CHAM - Centro de HumanidadesO principal destino do turismo colonial português era África, embora se estendesse também à Índia portuguesa, Macau e Timor, embora em menor escala. Começou com os navios de passageiros a vapor, um produto da Revolução Industrial e o transporte colonial de eleição durante o século XIX. Este artigo pretende oferecer um olhar histórico sobre uma viagem que demonstra as intenções políticas em legitimar um turismo nas colónias que reflete uma ação direcionada cujas repercussões ainda hoje são visíveis no Turismo de Memória.

- How tradition and innovation echoes in Jorge de Henin’s MemorialPublication . Avelar, Ana Paula; CHAM - Centro de HumanidadesThis 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.
