- Designing digital health futuresPublication . Costa, José; Centro em Rede de Investigação em Antropologia (CRIA - NOVA FCSH)Traditionally, anthropological studies have primarily focused on cultural heritage, customs, and traditions, often neglecting the reciprocal influence between current actions and future aspirations. In scrutinizing the implementation of digital health initiatives in Portugal, I shift focus from unraveling healthcare practices to critiquing anthropology's methodologies. While healthcare agents must discard previous help-seeking notions, anthropologists, in contrast, substitute their conventional subject matter with a commitment to envisioning sustainable futures. This intricate process explores how the idealized "ought to be" molds the "being" within social practices, where anthropology holds significance and legitimacy. The analysis sheds light on speculative methods, facilitating hypothetical actions that challenge established norms in the present-making process. Both observed and observers undergo transformation through this journey. Drawing from my direct involvement in social innovation projects related to digital health, I scrutinize entrenched anthropological practices and challenge the prevailing notion that innovation alone guarantees comprehensive sustainability. Exploring themes such as evolving practices, envisioning futures, and examining the convergence of the present and future, I advocate for narratives that transcend mere technological solutions to address societal challenges. Ultimately, this presentation aims to fuel discussions on traditional paradigms in anthropology, encouraging a profound exploration of how anthropological analysis shapes the development of sustainable futures.
- Sociotechnical futuresPublication . Costa, José; Centro em Rede de Investigação em Antropologia (CRIA - NOVA FCSH)This presentation seeks to present the understanding of how visions of the future influence present actions, exploring the impact of imagined future sociotechnical systems on contemporary social practices. Based on Reinhart Koselleck's philosophy of historical time and focusing on the heuristic value of the interaction between experience and expectation, it argues in favor of adopting an anticipatory approach in anthropology as a means to conduct a critical analysis of social practices. By examining the process of implementing digital health in Portugal, through an analysis of the discourse uttered by various stakeholders involved, the presentation provides a comprehensive view of the potential impacts of digitization on sociotechnical systems in the healthcare domain. Results will highlight the primary concerns of the different stakeholders encompassing the various aspects related to the utilization, reconfiguration, and evolution of healthcare.
- In the shadow of heritagePublication . Cardeira da Silva, Maria; Departamento de Antropologia (DA); Centro em Rede de Investigação em Antropologia (CRIA - NOVA FCSH)Based on fieldwork on heritage sites of Islamic origin in Portugal, and on heritage sites of Portuguese origin in Mauritania (Ouadane), I will explore the cultural landscapes, diplomatic rethorics and agent's dialogues involved in the patrimonialization processes of these sites. Through an ethnographic survey of these encounters I intend to engage on the ongoing debate regarding cross culture heritage and its expressions across borders. While deconstructing the islamophilia that allegedly presides to Portuguese national heritage politics, I will comment on the uses that some Spanish Muslim communities currently make of the Islamic sites that shape this tamed heritage landscape, puzzlingly feeding the Portuguese fulfilled national identity. While revisiting sites of Portugal imperial nostalgia in Mauritania and its current Muslim tenants I will comment on the local tailoring of heritage in order to incorporate these sites in previously empty landscapes, where suddenly spontaneous and mobile local museums bourgeoned, in the shadow of overseas monuments.
- Between the Sea, the Countryside and the RiverPublication . Moreira, Raquel; Centro em Rede de Investigação em Antropologia (CRIA - NOVA FCSH)
- The Social Appropriation of the Portuguese Inner Colonisation Project in Boalhosa (1946- 1966)Publication . Prista, Marta; Centro em Rede de Investigação em Antropologia (CRIA - NOVA FCSH)Like other European regimes, the Portuguese Estado Novo (1933-1974) implemented an agricultural coloni- sation policy that, influenced by the modernism and neo-physiocraticism ideals, aimed at economic develop- ment, social pacification and the fos- tering of national identities, resulting in the settlement and populating of modern rural landscapes. However, the Portuguese regime copied with an enduring financial crisis, and relied on an official nationalism built upon a conservative-traditional society under the epitomes of God, fatherland, work and family. Unsurprisingly, Portuguese inner colonisation was comparatively small-scaled, aimed to convert farm- hands into rural homeowners, and its modernising experiments had limited impacts on landscape. Landscape and place are not passive concepts, though. They concurrently construe and are construed by political and economic agencies, social negotia- tions, embodied experiences, plural meanings and affections. Looking into primary sources and the outcomes of a micro-ethnography in Boalhosa colony, this paper criss-crosses offi- cial-written history and emotional-sen- sory memory to illustrate consistencies and dissonances between political and social actors’ representations of the Portuguese inner colonisation. Based on exploratory observations in Boal- hosa, it argues that while the lack of political assertiveness might have cur- tailed the Portuguese project, it also favoured its social appropriation by lo- cal communities and economies within a contextualised historical and spatial continuum.
- Sem título (práticas artísticas e performance)Publication . Almeida, Joana Miguel; Raposo, Paulo; West, Diana; Centro em Rede de Investigação em Antropologia (CRIA - NOVA FCSH)
- Mulheres 'convertidas' e 'nascidas muçulmanas'Publication . Marques, Vera Lúcia Maia; Centro em Rede de Investigação em Antropologia (CRIA - NOVA FCSH)A imagem da mulher muçulmana “oprimida” e “submissa” é, sem dúvida, o que vem à mente dos não-muçulmanos, perante o cenário retratado pelos meios de comunicação sobre os radicalismos islâmicos. Entretanto, a mulher muçulmana, disposta a acabar com essa imagem, principalmente no que refere-se ao seu espaço público, torna-se sujeito histórico e propõe a desconstrução dessa imagem reivindicando os seus direitos. E é nesse cenário que algumas brasileiras e portuguesas inseriram-se. Portanto, a comunicação que proponho irá tratar dessas “convertidas” bem como dos dilemas, lutas e conquistas envolvendo não somente essas mulheres mas também as “nascidas” muçulmanas dentro dos meus campos de investigação, Brasil e Portugal, relativamente ao feminino no Islã. Muslim woman as "oppressed" and "submissive" is undoubtedly what comes to the non-Muslims minds when the media shows about the Islamic radicalism. However, the Muslim woman, ready to dismiss that image, especially regarding to its public space, become a historical subject proposing the deconstruction of the image claiming their rights. It is in this scenery that some Brazilians and Portuguese inserted himself. Therefore, the following communication addresses these conversions as well as its dilemmas, struggles and achievements involving not only women “converted” but also women “born” Muslim within my research fieldwork, Brazil and Portugal, in relation to female in Islam.
- Authenticité et hyperréalité dans la ville de Macau: les formes complexes du nouveau tourisme asiatiquePublication . Silvano, FilomenaCe texte essaie d’interpréter les relations qui s’établissent entre les processus de construction/négociation des identités culturelles et les processus de touristification de l’espace des villes. Les dynamiques culturelles associées au tourisme intègrent des représentations dont la forme convoque, très souvent, les concepts d’authenticité et d’hyperréalité. L’espace des villes devenues des pôles touristiques est lui aussi souvent marqué par ces deux formes culturelles. C’est, comme ce texte essaie de le montrer, le cas de Macao : le Centre Historique (« Patrimoine Mondial »), un réseau de musées (une vingtaine) et un réseau de casinos (une trentaine) constituent les éléments soumis à cette logique de production de l’espace urbain. Les formes culturelles en question – formulées, dans la théorie, comme deux formes indépendantes (et même incompatibles) – coexistent ici dans une réalité culturelle et urbaine complexe et très instable. Son interprétation exige des formes d’abordages nouvelles qui convoquent – en même temps - plusieurs échelles spatiales.
- Wild species used in the traditional pharmacopoeia of Trás-os-Montes (Portugal)Publication . Carvalho, Ana Maria; Ramos, A.T.; Martins, Maria Elisabete; Frazão-Moreira, AméliaFor the last eight years (2000-2008), three research ethnobotanical projects have been carried out in 36 rural communities from the north-eastern region of Portugal, Trás-os-Montes, in order to document and report traditional plant knowledge and uses. 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.
- Medicinal plants: Past and present uses in several communities from the North-eastern PortugalPublication . Carvalho, Ana Maria; Martins, Maria Elisabete; Frazão-Moreira, AméliaMedicinal plants, past and present related uses emerged from broader studies conducted during several years inside 36 rural communities in Trás-os-Montes. This region, as other areas in the interior of Portugal, has seen socio-economic transformations since the 1960s that have altered landscape management and plant use. The surveys aimed to report traditional plant knowledge and uses (TK). In addition focused on the system of local knowledge on plant resources and prevalent traditional plant use and practices.
