Nas últimas décadas, o estudo da historiografia, da memória histórica e dos usos do passado tem suscitado cada vez maior atenção junto dos meios académicos. O medievalismo em particular, comummente entendido como a representação ou o uso da Idade Média no período pós-medieval, assume aqui um papel significativo, dada a importância da época medieval na cultura histórica romântica e nos processos de construção das identidades nacionais desde o século XIX. No contexto académico português, porém, o medievalismo foi ainda escassamente analisado, faltando um estudo que abranja as suas várias dimensões, da historiografia às políticas de memória. Esta dissertação pretende colmatar esta lacuna, ao explorar as várias representações da Idade Média em Portugal entre o final do século XIX e a primeira metade do século XX. Focando três grandes temas – escrita da história, património artístico e comemorações históricas – iremos demonstrar como certos conceitos, instituições, figuras, eventos e obras da história medieval portuguesa foram narrados, retrabalhados e celebrados, à luz dos discursos decadentistas sobre a nação e sobre o mundo ocidental e da evolução política do país neste período. Estudos internacionais sobre este tema permitirão a realização de exercícios comparativos, bem como considerar a dimensão transnacional do medievalismo português, inserido nas grandes correntes culturais e ideologias políticas que influenciaram as várias representações da época medieval neste período. No final, iremos verificar como uma visão essencialmente romântica da história portuguesa persistiu ao longo de grande parte do século XX, ao representar dicotomicamente a Idade Média de forma positiva em comparação com uma Modernidade identificada com declínio civilizacional e espiritual. ; In recent decades, the study of historiography, historical memory and the uses of the past has become a subject of increasing attention in academic circles. Medievalism in particular, commonly understood as the representation or use of the Middle Ages in the post-medieval period, assumes here an significant role, given the importance of the medieval epoch in Romantic historical culture and in nation-building processes since the nineteenth century. However, medievalism has still been scarcely analysed in the Portuguese context, lacking a study that encompasses its multiple dimensions, from historiography to politics of memory. This dissertation aims to fulfil this gap, by exploring the various representations of the Middle Ages in Portugal between the late nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century. Focusing on three major topics – writing of history, artistic heritage and historical commemorations –, we will demonstrate how certain concepts, institutions, figures, events and works of Portuguese medieval history were narrated, reworked and celebrated, in the light of decadentist discourses about the nation and the Western world and of Portugal's political evolution in this period. International research on the topic will allow the making of comparative analyses and the understanding of the transnational dimension of Portuguese medievalism, inserted in the major cultural trends and political ideologies that influenced the various depictions of the medieval epoch in this period. In the end, we will show that an essentially Romantic view of Portuguese history persisted through the twentieth century, dichotomically presenting the Middle Ages in a positive light in comparison with a Modernity identified with civilizational and spiritual decline.

The topic "Drishti in the Middle Ages", includes a period characterized by significant development in the social, economic, cultural and political sphere, not only in the city but also in Albania in general during the Middle Ages. Drishti as many cities of Albania was founded during the Middle Ages, reaching a high development state which placed the city among the ranks of other medieval cities not only in Albania but even further in the region. As evidence of these developments are the achievements in the field of legislation, the developments in the economic, social, religious and cultural life.Keywords: Drishti, Albania, the Republic of Venice, George II Strazimir, Balsha III, Stefan Lazarevic, George Brankoviq.

The Middle Ages, and ideas about modern culture drawn from or rooted in the medieval period, have found themselves recurring with alarming frequency within recent political discourse. From President Bush's crusade rhetoric surrounding the War on Terror to the Far Right's location of White nationalism within an ongoing framework of medieval nation‐founding, the past has increasingly been used in the service of the present. In their more egregious forms—such as the rise of White supremacist movements in Europe, the USA, and Australia and their amalgamation into mainstream political discourse—the use of medieval national and cultural memories has led to a whitewashing of the medieval past. This article argues that these instances of medievalism are not simply inaccuracies but come about through a recirculation of vague ideas about the Middle Ages through online in‐groups. Consequently, such political uses of the medieval past are often what have been termed "banal" medievalisms in the sense that they are not always intended as deliberate references to history by useful appropriations in the service of the present.
This essay discusses approaches to and strategies for teaching the "Multicultural Middle Ages" at undergraduate level based on a lecture course that we co-taught online in Fall 2020. We outline a few of our lectures (on "Modern Appropriations of the Crusades: Politics, Myths, and Reality"; "Trade, Commerce, and Cultural Exchange"; and "Multicultural Song") before presenting some ideas for teaching comparatively across cultures. By way of conclusion, we showcase a selection of our students' "blog post" responses to the course.

The period between the 11th and 12th centuries is usually indicated as an age of transition from the early to late Middle Ages. The paper aims at focusing on the continuities and discontinuities in this time, and specifically on how the search for new models and new procedures for the administration of justice played a 'constitutional' role, just as it would in many other historical eras to follow. From this perspective, the emergence of positiones in the judicial practices and in the ordines iudiciorum provides an interesting point of view in order to investigate, on one hand, whether the parties were more interested to go to trial or to settle their disputes by negotiations, and, on the other hand, to understand the legal policy of the medieval governments between two conflicting interests: to ensure justice ascertaining the truth and to re-establish peace through arbitration procedures and avoid malicious litigation which might slow down the course of justice. ; Il periodo compreso tra 11 e 12 secolo è normalmente indicato come età di transizione tra alto e basso medioevo. Lo scritto intende mettere a fuoco gli elementi di continuità e di discontinuità di questo periodo soprattutto con riguardo al fatto che la ricerca di nuovi modelli e di nuove procedure per l'amministrazione della giustizia giocò un ruolo 'costituzionale', non diversamente da quanto avvenuto in altri periodi successivi. In questa prospettiva, l'emergere delle positiones nelle prassi giudiziarie e negli ordines iudiciorum offre un interessante punto di vista per verificare, da un lato, se le parti fossero più interessate a andare in giudizio o a risolvere le loro controversie in via negoziale; dall'altro per comprendere la politica giudiziaria degli ordinamenti medievali tra due interessi tendenzialmente contrastanti: quello di assicurare giustizia con l'accertamento della verità e quello di ristabilire la pace sociale tramite arbitrati evitando così con l'abuso del processo il rischio di rallentare la giustizia. ; Ciencias Religiosas ; Derecho
The origins of 'our' Europe can be traced back to when the barbarian peoples settled in Romanized Europe between the 5th and 8th centuries . As it is well known, this led to both a clash and an integration of profoundly different identities, cultures and societies. As these fluid communities came to coexist , everyday life came to be defined by respect to diversity and a two way cultural exchange in the name of the peace and order. And this was not just everyday practice - it was also reflected in the work of legislators and justice.
In Germany, migration research is still a relatively young line of research. Several obstacles complicated a critical recovery of research concepts on the history of population and migration that had been shaped as early as in the 1920s. This was the result of the multilayered disavowal of academic demography – because of its role in Nazi Germany, because of the long-lasting primate of history of politics in post-WW ll Germany, and finally because of the late emergence of the history of society. This situation has profoundly changed during the last decades of the twentieth century. Reasons were the increasing historical distance to the 'fall of man' of demography in Nazi Germany, the reorientation of historiography in the context of critical social and cultural sciences; the inclusion of labor-market research into migration research, and the shaping of in-terdisciplinary and integral research concepts.
