The analysis of a series of Tournaisian wills dating from the first half of the 15th century demonstrates that images could function in different ways. Mobile objects such as statues or altarpieces, once placed on an altar, contributed to delineating the space for prayer within the home and participated to the liturgical performance. But as figurative images, they also allowed worshippers to contemplate the sacred figures, which were not simply represented but made present through the material qualities of images such as polychromy or thanks to interaction with light. It is therefore necessary to deepen our understanding of what the historiography of domestic devotion terms the devotional function of images.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss different aspects of the miraculous depictions of the Virgin Mary in selected Marian pilgrimage churches in Styria, Slovenia. The paper focuses in particular on the devotional practices and propaganda context associated with such depictions of the Virgin Mary.Throughouthistory Styrians — Slovenian and Austrian alike — have been particularly strongly attached to the Virgin Mary as the patron of the Habsburg lands. Consequently, miraculous images of the Virgin Mary in various forms were widespread. The immense popularity of the Virgin Mary and the miraculousness attributed to her images encouraged the foundation of many pilgrim routes and churches. The importance of such images can be seen in ex-votos, miracle books, the depictions of miracles in church interiors as well as the numerous holy cards, not to mention the diverse devotional practices

In the renewal of visual culture in Romanesque times, liturgical furniture played a fundamental role, with the altar being the most privileged figurative space, as a fundamental cultic object for the configuration of the new ritual spaces. With this work we propose a review of some of the main Romanesque altars in the region (Santiago de Compostela, Oviedo, San Esteban de Ribas de Sil, etc.) in order to analyse the value of the images they reproduce in relation to the new vectors of Romanesque culture.

This article focuses on the affirmation and sustainability of vines and wine, articulated with cereal farming in the Douro Superior, and analises three phases of its vineyard evolution: the first, embryonic and of reduced commercial expression, prior to the phylloxera outbreak; the second, of progressive affirmation, from the last quarter of the 19th century to the demarcations of 1907-1908, with the institutional recognition of the enlargement of the Douro Demarcated Region to the border with Spain; the third, in the course of 20th century, corresponding to the development and wine consolidation of this sub-region, which today produces Port wine and high quality DOC wines. It is part of a vast field of research on the process of transformations of the Douro Regional Space2, the expansion of the vineyard with intra-regional differences and the economic and institutional changes in the Port wine sector, during the temporal arc considered

This article examines the efforts of Portuguese cultural diplomacy abroad in the aftermath of World War II. Drawing on the concept of soft power theorised by Joseph Nye, the research focuses on the first Portuguese Information Centres, in Geneva and Rome, created by the Portuguese Minister in these cities, António Ferro. Drawing mainly on unpublished documentary sources from the National Secretariat for Information fund in the National Archive, the aim was to shed light on its organisation, its relationship with central government, and to examine the activities undertaken and the results achieved. The working hypothesis was that the Centres functioned in a logic of defence of the nation, part of a strategy to «seduce» a post-war democratised Europe, confronted with the Portuguese dictatorship, which persisted in maintaining a Colonial Empire

Between 1889-1890, an influenza pandemic ravaged the world, 30 years before the «Spanish flu». Despite its importance, it has not been the object of much attention, due to the difficulty of access to statistical sources that would allow its study. In this article we intend to analyse the impact of the influenza pandemic, known as the «Russian flu», in the municipality of Guimarães, with special emphasis on the pace of the pandemic and on the levels of mortality and morbidity. It was found that the lack of knowledge about the aetiology of influenza explains the ineffectiveness of the authorities, but, despite this, it is noted that the impact on mortality of the 1889-1890 influenza was much less than that of the «Spanish flu»

This article focuses on the study of the furniture industry in the former parish of Valbom (Gondomar), 1860-1911, based on the survey and analysis of parish records. The furniture industry experienced a significant development in this period, covering a large number of workers related to wood (carvers, carpenters, turners, etc.). The parish registers are a fundamental source for the knowledge and evolution of this activity. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the importance of this source for understanding the genesis and growth of the furniture industry in Gondomar, which became one of the most important economic activities in the municipality in the 20th century

This article discusses the traditional game of the stick, practiced in the parish of Bucos, municipality of Cabeceiras de Basto. This game, of popular roots and strongly northern character, originated in an eminently rural society, served as an art of defence and attack, is now preserved by family and social dynamics as a mastery to be maintained from generation to generation. In Bucos, the possibility of recovering individual and family memories remains, going back to the 40s of the 20th century, despite the strong desertification as a result of successive migratory waves. It was possible to verify, through empirical work, that the memories of teachers and apprentices of the game of the stick allowed to maintain the union and family transmission. It is intended, then, to observe the importance of this tradition, intangible cultural heritage, at the level of its practitioners and how it relates to family dynamics in Bucos. It also aims to investigate their contribution to the respective sociocultural safeguard

Demographic research on the 18th century is very difficult in Portugal, mainly due to the under-recording of deaths of children under seven years of age. In the case of systematic recording of parish events, the monitoring of life paths in defined spaces and periods allows us the most successful approach to the balance of demographic variables and understanding of their effects on population growth. The Azores, due to the diversity of behaviours, even between neighbouring islands, is an extraordinary laboratory of analysis for the demographic historian. In a context of near-natural fertility, important compensatory behaviours to a high life expectancy, such as emigration and high ages at first marriage, or even mortality crises, may not be sufficient barriers to growth

This article analyses the evolution of the weekly distribution of weddings, over about 250 years, in the municipality of Fafe, located in the north of Portugal, based on a sample of microdata made up of 26,841 wedding dates that allow to observe the weekly pattern of weddings in the municipality of Minho, establishing a relation to the differential indicators: demographic and socioeconomic behaviours of the bride and groom, between 1650 and 1905. The results showed trends according to the characteristics of the bride and the groom. Over more than two centuries, there was a predominance of Sunday and Monday acts. However, these results do not cover all individuals since premarital conceptions and socio-professional indicators influenced the choice of the wedding day.
