Em 1466, quando Fernão Lopes de Carvalho, cavaleiro cidadão, ocupou a escrivaninha do concelho, foi-lhe dado encargo de tresladar documentação pretérita da câmara da cidade de Évora. Nasce, assim, o posteriormente designado Livro das Posturas Antigas, que, em 1662, outro escrivão da câmara, Francisco Cabral de Almada, "reduziu a livro", compilando os cadernos do seu antecessor. O códice, publicado parcialmente por Gabriel Pereira, encontra agora a sua formulação integral. Expressão do poder do concelho de Évora no período medievo, abarca principalmente cópia de atas da vereação da última metade do séc. XIV, de que resultaram as normas impostas pela cidade, ou seja as posturas propriamente ditas. Embora com falhas de alguns cadernos, perdidos entre o séc. XV e o XVII, este constitui-se como um texto fundamental na inteligibilidade da Cidade Medieval. Através das deliberações camarárias, cruzam-se os seus diferentes protagonistas - mulheres e homens, cristãos, muçulmanos e judeus -, expressam-se relações sociais e políticas, definem-se actividades económicas, descrevem-se técnicas, estabelecem-se preços, nomeiam-se espaços - sente-se, enfim, o pulsar vivo do quotidiano da urbe e do seu termo em finais do séc. XIV.

Through stark observations and visceral experiences, Blood Orchid begins Charles Bowden’s dizzying excavation of the brutal, systemic violence and corruption at the roots of American society. Like a nightmarish fever dream that turns out to be our own reality, Bowden visits dying friends in skid row apartments in Los Angeles, traverses San Francisco byways lined with clubs and joints, and roams through village bars and streets in the Sierra Madre mountains. In these wanderings resides a yearning for the understanding of past and present sins, the human penchant for warfare, abuse, and oppression, and the true war between humanity, the industrialized world, and the immense tolls of our shared land. Deeply personal, hauntingly prophetic, and bracingly sharp, the start to Bowden’s harrowed quest to unearth our ugly truths remains strikingly poignant today.

"This edited collection focuses on Aboriginal and Māori travel in colonial contexts. Authors in this collection examine the ways that Indigenous people moved and their motivations for doing so. Chapters consider the cultural aspects of travel for Indigenous communities on both sides of the Tasman. Contributors examine Indigenous purposes for mobility, including for community and individual economic wellbeing, to meet other Indigenous or non-Indigenous peoples and experience different cultures, and to gather knowledge or experience, or to escape from colonial intrusion.‘This volume is the first to take up three challenges in histories of Indigenous mobilities. First, it analyses both mobility and emplacement. Challenging stereotypes of Indigenous people as either fixed or mobile, chapters deconstruct issues with ramifications for contemporary politics and analyses of Indigenous society and of rural and national histories. As such, it is a welcome intervention in a wide range of urgent issues. Second, by examining Indigenous peoples in both Australia and New Zealand, this volume is an innovative step in removing the artificial divisions that have arisen from “national” histories. Third, the collection connects the experiences of colonised Indigenous peoples with those of their colonisers, shifting the long-held stereotypes of Indigenous powerlessness. Chapters then convincingly demonstrate the agency of colonised peoples in shaping the actions and the mobility itself of the colonisers.While the volume overall is aimed at opening up new research questions, and so invites later and even more innovative work, this volume will stand as an important guide to the directions such future work might take.’— Heather Goodall, Professor Emerita, UTS"
