LSA Keynote Address (Wednesday, 25 June 2025, 17:00 to 18:00)
"Going beyond Lusophony: Cultural Exchanges in the Atlantic during the Transatlantic Slave Trade Era"
Abstract / Resumo
The development of the field of Global History has opened new perspectives for our knowledge regarding different regions of the world. As far as Africa is concerned, fresh viewpoints have emerged on the interconnection of diasporic African histories with world histories. Focusing in particular on religious beliefs and practices, I shall discuss how, during the seventeeth to nineteenth centuries, from Lisbon to the hinterlands of Brazil, passing through Senegambia and the Caribbean area, Africans were active agents of cultural transformations..

Hugo Ribeiro da Silva completed his PhD in History and Civilization in 2010 at the European University Institute (Florence, Italy). His research interests are social and cultural Early Modern History, Lusophone Culture and History (Brazil and Angola), and cross-cultural exchanges in the South Atlantic. He has participated in several collective projects, such as “BAHIA16-19: Salvador da Bahia -- American, European and African Forging of a Colonial Capital City," funded by FP7-Marie Curie Actions People International Research Staff Exchange Scheme (IRSES). He was a Marie Curie Fellow at King's College London (2017-2019) and a Lecturer in Lusophone Studies at the same university (2019-2021). Since 2021, he has been an Assistant Professor at the Department of History and Political and International Studies, University of Porto, and a researcher at CITCEM -- Transdisciplinary Research Center for Culture, Space and Memory..

Browse Porto Online, Before the Conference

Porto: Rua de Arnaldo Gama. Please visit Porto digitally, as this conference site is being populated with information for participants. Following the link will load in your browser window a Google Maps 3D sphere that allows you to take a digital walkthrough. Hovering your cursor over the 3D -surround scene allows you, as usual, to grab-and-rotate the scene in all directions. Flattened 'oval and arrow' pointers, when hovering, tell you where you may go further, to other available adjacent 3D spheres. The map in the lower left hand corner, when enlarged and filling the lower portion of the screen, will show you where exactly you are in town, and blue lines in the streets indicate where other 3D spheres or linked street scenes may be accessed.
