This paper presents an embryo of a literary guide on the Carnation Revolution to be explored for educational historical excursions other than leisure and tourism. We propose a historical trail through the centre of Lisbon, city of the Carnation Revolution, called Walk through the Revolution. The trail aims to reinforce collective memory about the major events that occurred in the early moments leading to the coup. The trail is made up by nine places of rememberance, for which literary excerpts are suggested and which are supported by a digital research procedure. A set of seven fixed and observer-independent categories are used to analyse the literary contents of 23 literary works published up to 2013. These literary works refer to events that happened between the eve of April 25 and May 1, 1974. At the same time, literary descriptions are explored using a spatial approach in order to define the literary geography of the most iconic military actions and popular demonstrations that occurred in Lisbon and the surroundings. The literary geography and the cartography of the historical events are then compared. Data analysis and visualization benefit from the use of standardised and quantitative methods, including basic statistics and geographic information systems.

This article proposes a methodology to address the urban evolutionary process, demonstrating how it is reflected in literature. It focuses on "literary space," presented as a territory defined by the period setting or as evoked by the characters, which can be georeferenced and drawn on a map. It identifies the different locations of literary space in relation to urban development and the economic, political, and social context of the city. We suggest a new approach for mapping a relatively comprehensive body of literature by combining literary criticism, urban history, and geographic information systems (GIS). The home-range concept, used in animal ecology, has been adapted to reveal the size and location of literary space. This interdisciplinary methodology is applied in a case study to nineteenth- and twentieth-century novels involving the city of Lisbon. The developing concepts of cumulative literary space and common literary space introduce size calculations in addition to location and structure, previously developed by other researchers. Sequential and overlapping analyses of literary space throughout time have the advantage of presenting comparable and repeatable results for other researchers using a different body of literary works or studying another city. Results show how city changes shaped perceptions of the urban space as it was lived and experienced. A small core area, correspondent to a part of the city center, persists as literary space in all the novels analyzed. Furthermore, the literary space does not match the urban evolution. There is a time lag for embedding new urbanized areas in the imagined literary scenario.

Abstract This article focuses on the literary landscape of Monsanto. It confronts the discourse produced by the writer, Fernando Namora (1819-1989)—a pioneer of the Neo-Realistic literature in Portugal—and the literary production of other contemporary authors related with the ideological bases of "Estado Novo" ("New State"), the dictatorial regime that held the government in Portugal from 1933 to 1974. In the writings analysed, the representation of the landscapes of Monsanto entails powerful ideological messages. For Namora, the village was a "stone vessel," a metaphor about the hard life of its inhabitants, victims of social injustices and lacking of resources. For the "Estado Novo," that place was the symbol of the national identity ("the most Portuguese village," as was stated in 1938). The metaphors of the stone, the strong substrata and the raw material used for shelters, stressed the value of preservation of Tradition, History, Religion and Work. Although very different, both discourses attach great value to the productive and dominated rural landscape of Monsanto, and to the human role in the transformation of its soil. At the present time, even if population has decreased drastically and agriculture has been abandoned, local authorities and tourist agents alike try to conciliate the "stone vessel" with "the most Portuguese village." In this context, the options for the management and valorisation of the landscape of Monsanto shall be discussed.

Poverty and hunger, a contemporary story analyzes poverty and hunger, current problems seen in a space-time dimension, bringing together multidisciplinary approaches from 29 researchers from the IHC and other research centers.

Considering political, economic, social, cultural and environmental dimensions, it aims to stimulate critical thinking about environmental degradation, inequality and social discrimination, while also considering issues such as racism, the over-exploitation of humans and non-humans, gender issues, pollution and climate change.

Published within the scope of the current programmatic project of the IHC and organized in three parts, this work identifies and reviews some of the most relevant themes for an understanding of the phenomena of poverty and hunger in contemporary Portugal. - Pobreza e fome, uma história contemporânea analisa a pobreza e a fome, problemas atuais olhados numa dimensão espácio-temporal, reunindo abordagens pluridisciplinares de 29 investigadores do IHC e de outros centros de investigação.

Considerando dimensões políticas, económicas, sociais, culturais e ambientais, ele visa estimular o pensamento crítico sobre a degradação ambiental, a desigualdade e a discriminação social, ao mesmo tempo considerando questões como o racismo, a sobre‑exploração de humanos e não‑humanos, as questões de género, a poluição e as alterações climáticas.

Publicada no âmbito do atual projeto programático do IHC e organizada em três partes, esta obra identifica e revê alguns dos temas mais relevantes para uma compreensão dos fenómenos da pobreza e da fome no Portugal contemporâneo.
