Fellowships in Heidelberg at Käte Hamburger Centre for Apocalyptic and Post-Apocalyptic Studies 2022-2023

The Käte Hamburger Centre for Apocalyptic and Post-Apocalyptic Studies (CAPAS) is a Centre for Advanced Studies at Heidelberg University. It gathers international scholars and scientists to research collaboratively on ideas and experiences of the doom of worlds and their aftermath. Our mission is to encourage the dialogue between the humanities and social and natural sciences, relating to (A) the apocalyptic and postapocalyptic imaginary (ideas, images, discourses), (B) historical events that were perceived or framed as (post-)apocalyptic experiences, and (C) current, empirically observable developments that could bring about the end of the world as we know it, and its aftermath scenarios. CAPAS is dedicated to innovative research relevant to society at large, particularly in areas beyond traditional academic boundaries. For further information on CAPAS, please refer to the website https://www.capas.uni-heidelberg.de.

The focus of the 2022-2023 academic year is on the imaginaries and concepts of the (post-)apocalypse, with special regard to Europe and the Americas. The aim is to explore the imaginary of apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic worlds in a transcultural and transdisciplinary perspective. Proposals regarding the theoretical or methodological frame of CAPAS and on inter- and transdisciplinary approaches are also welcome. We invite applications for up to 10 Fellowships from September/October 2022 for the 2022-2023 academic year (beginning date is negotiable). Fellowships are available for a duration of up to 12 months, including at least one academic term (October to February or April to July). Fellows must reside in Heidelberg during their entire funding period and are expected to participate in the transdisciplinary programme and the social life at the Centre, as well as to contribute to its publications. English is the working language at the Centre.

Mensagem REPORT(H)A

 

Caros membros da REPORT(H)A

Escrevo-vos para sublinhar a importância da realização da próxima Reunião Bienal Geral (OGM) da European Society for Environmental History (ESEH) que ocorrerá no próximo dia 9 de julho de 2021, pelas 10:00 de Portugal.

Nela cumprem-se vários deveres estatutários: apreciação do relatório financeiro, aprovação de atividades, da situação dos associados e, sobretudo, a eleição de novos representantes, nomeadamente para Portugal.

Temos que apoiar a nova candidata, a Nina Vieira, da Universidade Nova de Lisboa, a quem daremos (dou) todo o nosso (meu) apoio http://eseh.org/events/eseh-nominations-page-2021/

Lembro que para podermos votar deveremos ser membros da ESEH, o que pressupõe a atualização da anualidade.

Para os que não receberam o email oficial sobre este assunto, abaixo segue o seu conteúdo, assinado pelo Presidente da ESEH, Marco Armiero (embora já tenha sido difundido na nossa newsletter de maio de 2021.

 

Um breve balanço do meu papel como representante regional para Portugal na ESEH para confessar o prazer de ter assumido este compromisso em 2013, em Munique, nas vésperas da realização do Second World Congress of Environmental History, 2014 (Guimarães) https://www.iceho.org/past-wceh-conferences, no âmbito do qual se organizou o 5thSummer School in Environmental History – The Sea as a Whole https://sigarra.up.pt/flup/pt/noticias_geral.ver_noticia?p_nr=26902

Ao terminar o meu segundo mandato, espero ter cumprido as minhas funções de dinamização da rede portuguesa de História Ambiental (REPORT(H)A).

Sublinho que a REPORT(H)A não sou eu (Inês Amorim). São tod@s, na informalidade de organização de iniciativas, de produção científica e de disponibilização de recursos na nossa página eletrónica https://www.reportha.org/en/, agregadora de ações, sendo que contei sempre com o apoio de dois jovens investigadores: Sara Pinto e Luís Pedro Silva.

Um particular destaque para um compromisso sucessivamente assumido por comissões organizadoras empenhadas - o da organização do encontro da Rede, que circulou pelo Porto (2015), Lisboa (2017), Évora (2019) e este ano de 2021 será em Coimbra https://www.reporthameeting2021.com/. Em 2023 ocorrerá em Braga, como já foi definido em 2019. Conseguimos, assim, uma periodicidade regular, sinal de vitalidade e vontade.

A todos, obrigada, num abraço sincero.

Inês Amorim, representante Regional por Portugal na European Society for Environmental History

ESEH next biennial ordinary general meeting (OGM)

From the President Marco Armiero (May, 25th 2021)

There are indeed a number of institutional duties that we have to accomplish independently of the fact that we will not have a physical meeting: approve the activities of the outgoing board, assess the society’s finances, decide possible changes to the membership fees and vote for a new board, some regional representatives, and the financial control committee.

The OGM will take place on July 9, 2021 at 11:00 CEST as a Zoom webinar. The outgoing board will present the relevant reports for the past two years and the candidates for the new board will briefly introduce themselves. Questions will be taken in written form on Zoom’s chat and answered live during the webinar.

Elections will take place as a Surveymonkey poll. Details about all candidates running for the different open positions are available on our website: http://eseh.org/events/eseh-nominations-page-2021/. Current members will receive an email invitation that will allow them to anonymously vote once. The email will be sent right after the OGM. Please make sure to check your spam folder for emails from Surveymonkey. 

The poll will stay open for 5 days so as to allow the greatest possible participation. A further email will be circulated a week after the OGM to inform you of the results. 

Please attend the OGM. In case we don’t reach the quorum we will have to call another OGM on a later date and postpone the elections as well.

If you want to participate in the OGM and vote and you haven’t paid your dues for 2021 yet, please make sure to do so by June 25, 2021. All information in this regard is also available on our website: http://eseh.org/membership/renew-your-membership/

The link to the Zoom webinar will be shared with members in good standing with membership fees in a separate email after the cut off date for renewals mentioned above. 

The GA will be included in an exciting two-day program of events and discussions we will announce with a separate message. Stay tuned...   

 

All best,

Marco Armiero

President of the European Society for Environmental History

Ficções Botânicas (VII): Para sempre aluno (podcast)

"Esta é uma carta que poderia ter sido redigida num momento conturbado, mas decisivo, da carreira profissional de Gonçalo Sampaio, que aos 31 anos, ainda aluno na Academia Politécnica do Porto e vacilando entre várias decisões e vocações, desabafa com o seu antigo mestre do liceu de Braga – o erudito José Joaquim Pereira Caldas –, de quem se tornou amigo e correligionário republicano."
