UID/CPO/04627/2019 ; The historiographic studies of the First World War in the most important syntheses of Portugal history follows pari passu the main historiographic changes during the twentieth century and the Portuguese self-concept as a nation. The historiographic discourse on war reflects the political paths and the impact of the dominant historiographical perspectives. The Estado Novo (1926-74) dictatorship promoted the development of historical studies, especially certain fields and specialties, with emphasis on diplomatic and military history and the history of overseas Portuguese expansion. Both served the interests of the political regime. Our study will start from the History of Portugal called "de Barcelos", produced in the context of dictatorship (1928-1935), and partly influenced by historic traditional currents, continuing with the analysis of João Ameal synthesis (1940); go forward to the modern syntheses produced in democracy time (António Henrique de Oliveira Marques [1972-74, and José Mattoso [1992-94]), that reflect important changes in the scope of our historiography in general, in the concept of Portugal, and mainly in the visions of Portuguese participation in the Great War. Os modelos de análise historiográficos da I Guerra Mundial nas sínteses da História de Portugal acompanham pari passu as principais mudanças da nossa historiografia ao longo do século XX e do autoconceito de Portugal. Ao longo do século XX, o discurso historiográfico sobre a guerra, sofreu as vicissitudes da política e a influência da alteração das perspetivas historiográficas dominantes. Durante a ditadura do Estado Novo (1926-74) foram, especialmente, desenvolvidos os estudos de determinadas temáticas e especialidades, com destaque para a história diplomática e militar e a história da expansão portuguesa. Uma e outra serviam os interesses que mais aproveitavam ao regime. A nossa análise arrancará da História de Portugal dita "de Barcelos", inicialmente produzida em contexto de ditadura (1928-1935), e em parte influenciada pelas tradicionais correntes da história, prosseguindo com a análise da síntese de João Ameal (1940); trilhando caminho até às mais recentes sínteses concebidas em tempo de democracia (António Henrique de Oliveira Marques [1972-74], e José Mattoso [1992-94]), que refletem importantes alterações no âmbito da nossa historiografia em geral, no conceito de Portugal, e das visões da participação portuguesa na Grande Guerra em particular. ; publishersversion ; published

When one is asked to speak on the past, present, and future of social science history, one is less overwhelmed by the size of the task than confused by its indexicality. Whose definition of social science history? Which past? Or, put another way, whose past? Indeed, which and whose present? Moreover, should the task be taken as one of description, prescription, or analysis? Many of us might agree on, say, a descriptive analysis of the past of the Social Science History Association. But about the past of social science history as a general rather than purely associational phenomenon, we might differ considerably. The problem of description versus prescription only increases this obscurity.

Touching on issues of power, authority, and domination, Manhunts takes an in-depth look at the hunting of humans in the West, from ancient Sparta, through the Middle Ages, to the modern practices of chasing undocumented migrants. Incorporating historical events and philosophical reflection, Grégoire Chamayou examines the systematic and organized search for individuals and small groups on the run because they have defied authority, committed crimes, seemed dangerous simply for existing, or been categorized as subhuman or dispensable. Chamayou begins in ancient Greece, where young Spartans hunted and killed Helots (Sparta's serfs) as an initiation rite, and where Aristotle and other philosophers helped to justify raids to capture and enslave foreigners by creating the concept of natural slaves. He discusses the hunt for heretics in the Middle Ages; New World natives in the early modern period; vagrants, Jews, criminals, and runaway slaves in other eras; and illegal immigrants today. Exploring evolving ideas about the human and the subhuman, what we owe to enemies and people on the margins of society, and the supposed legitimacy of domination, Chamayou shows that the hunting of humans should not be treated ahistorically, and that manhunting has varied as widely in its justifications and aims as in its practices. He investigates the psychology of manhunting, noting that many people, from bounty hunters to Balzac, have written about the thrill of hunting when the prey is equally intelligent and cunning. An unconventional history on an unconventional subject, Manhunts is an in-depth consideration of the dynamics of an age-old form of violence.
