British participation in the quincentenary commemorations of the death of Prince Henry ‘the Navigator’ (1960)

This issue will focus not only on the Portuguese context, but also on the ways in which these commemorations were interpreted in other national contexts, especially Brazil, Angola, São Tomé and Príncipe, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Goa, Macau, and East Timor. Suggested topics include:- Institutional public or privately-organized commemorative programs;- Political and activist discourses;- Journalistic discourses and media representations;- Editorial initiatives in or outside academia;- Cultural and artistic productions (including cinema, music, plastic and performative arts);- Historiography about the Portuguese expansion overseas and works from other social sciences and humanities;- Historiographical and memorialist debates;- Architectural and urbanistic interventions and heritagization of spaces;- Teaching and children’s and young adult literature
