PORTUGAL: MEMORIES FROM THE END OF THE EMPIRE
Advanced Postgraduate Course
E-learning courses | Eduardo Lourenço Chair | Camões - Institute for Cooperation and Language
Memories of the End of the Empire is an advanced post-graduate course resulting from the partnership between Instituto Camoes I.P. and the Eduardo Lourenço Chair (Università degli Studi di Bologna). It carries out a "spectrography" - in every sense - of the traces of Portugal's past in Africa. The process of construction of a memory of Africa, the battlefield of construction of a contemporary memory of colonialism and its problematic ends, the hopes of a possible common memory of this complex time that combines past and present are at the centre of the reflections launched in the course.

This course aims to:
- Configure the landscapes of memories, individual and collective, concerning the decolonization of the Portuguese colonies in Africa
- To analyse the impact of the most complex archives of the past in/on Africa (colonial nostalgia, the experience of the colonial war, the movement of the Retorno and the "retornados" etc.)
- To carry out an initial approach to the emergences of Portuguese Afropolitan
cultural productions as an alternative access space to the labyrinths of Portugal's experience in Africa and its European contemporaneity.

SUBALTERNITIES IN THE SOUTH ATLANTIC
Advanced Postgraduate Course
E-learning courses | Eduardo Lourenço Chair | Camões - Institute for Cooperation and Language
Subalternities in the South Atlantic is an advanced post-graduate course resulting from the partnership between Instituto Camoes I.P. and the Eduardo Lourenço Chair (Università degli Studi di Bologna). It is dedicated to the South Atlantic, in particular to its foundation/formation and the historical, political, social and cultural consequences that determined it and which are projected on the horizon. The course, renewing the tradition of the e-learning courses "Postcolonial Studies-South Atlantic" is genealogical: it starts from the contemporary to analyse the effects of the slave trade in different contexts such as Portugal and Brazil and deepens the knowledge of the narratives going back to the beginnings of the conceptual, political and social space of the southern Atlantic.
This course aims to:
- Understand the South Atlantic today and the historical density of its contemporary permanences (subalternities, racism, discriminations, cultural inheritances etc.).
- Reconstruct the genealogy of the South Atlantic from its geographical multiplicity (Portugal, African countries, Brazil) particularly in the most complex historical periods (colonial wars in Africa in the twentieth century, abolition of slavery in Brazil in the nineteenth century);
- Reconstruct in a philologically rigorous way the foundation, formation and consolidation of the South Atlantic and the origins of the matrices of subalternity that engendered it especially from the slave trade between Africa and America.
