The research project TechNetEMPIRE - Tecnoscientific Networks in the construction of the built enviroment in the Portuguese Empire (1647-1871) ​was approved for funding by FCT (PTDC/ART-DAQ/31959/2017).
IR: Alice Santiago Faria
CO-IR: Renata Malcher de Araujo
​
The development of this project will cause some changes in the current website. 
Updates will be posted. 


ABSTRACT
After the restoration of independence, the Aula de Fortificação e Arquitectura Militar (Fortification and Military Architecture Class) was created in Lisbon, in 1647. Several classes and schools appeared in Portugal and in its overseas territories, in a cycle that would end in 1871 when the Escola Mathemática e Militar [Mathematical and Military School] in Goa was closed. Based in two major bibliographical sources from the nineteenth century that have never been updated and that are still considered essential resources, this project will update these works conceptually and methodologically. Our aim is to look to the agents of the colonial "dispositif" experts and institutions - throughout time and space in order to understand how they created and shaped techno science networks across the Portuguese Empire. It is also important to understand how these networks have changed (or not) throughout time and different geographies. Following the flow of knowledge over time and observing the patterns and the responsible agents for the dissemination and circulation of techno science, we will be looking to an increasingly global world.

It is also important to consider the role of Portugal and the Portuguese Empire in this change and transformation process in an increasingly interconnected world.The enlarged geographical dimension of the expansion entailed a pragmatic mechanism of deployment and training of agents who was early adopted for military engineers. This basic premise of the Portuguese school of military engineering, which developed simultaneously in various parts of the globe, has long been recognized. However, the effective perception of all the internal relationships between agents and their training methods in each location is yet to be made. The intention of the project is to fill that gap updating information concerning the behaviour and training of these agents over time, but above all, creating an effective relational database where this information can be processed and analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively in their various aspects. One of goals of the project is to develop and provide an open access online platform that on the one hand aims to support academic research and on the other hand to serve the community through an online tool that gathers and acts as a mediator of information, which is part of the collective cultural heritage.

Everyday Empires

4/25/2017

Com muita pena de não conseguir estar presente. 

"Everyday Empires: Trans-Imperial Circulations in a Multi-Disciplinary Perspective” brings together scholars working across geographical, chronological, and methodological lines to reinterpret the ways in which empire was lived through commonplace things, spaces, and decisions in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The conference interrogates empire as a process emergent through the everyday negotiated material practices of its citizens and subjects: from bicycles to hotel bars; from medicine cabinets to the daily labour of the rubber plantation; from teakettles to steamship tickets. A key focus of the conference is to develop a greater discussion of inter-imperial and trans-imperial dynamics."

Interessante. Blog: The History of Knowledge

"Knowledge does not simply exist, awaiting discovery and use. Knowledge is produced, adapted, forgotten, rejected, superseded, expanded, reconfigured, and more—always by human beings (at least in this more-or-less pre-AI age), alone or in communities, always in culturally, socially, economically, and institutionally specific contexts.
Knowledge is central to most purposeful human practices, whether at work, in the family, or for worship, whether implicitly or explicitly, whether passed down by hands-on training or through books and other storage and retrieval systems. Both product and basis of human interactions, knowledge has a history. Indeed, human history cannot be understood apart from the history of knowledge.
This blog aims to serve as a venue for the exchange of ideas and information on the history of knowledge. It is currently managed by a small team at the German Historical Institute in Washington, DC, but it desires contributions by and engagement with scholars working elsewhere."
