Programme for the 2nd IN2PAST Field Trip includes 7 researchers from CESEM I Registration until October 25

Music is an object of research around which IN2PAST brings together knowledge from different disciplines, from musicology to sociology, history and anthropology. Questions of safeguarding artistic heritage also have a very important place in the laboratory work that IN2PAST carries out in terms of conservation, restoration and digitisation. That is why IN2PAST’s 2nd field trip, entitled ‘What is yours, my man?’ (“Qual é a tua, ó meu?”), will be based on a commented music listening session and a guided tour of the José Mário Branco Study and Documentation Centre. Interested parties should register by October 25 using this link.

On the first day of the field trip, December 12, at 6 pm, it will be possible to listen to nine songs with commentary in a historic place of Lisbon’s associative and cooperative life, A Padaria do Povo. One of them lends its title to our meeting: it is a well-known song by José Mário Branco, in which Lisbon’s neighbourhoods echo, using the ‘popular march’. The other eight songs have different authors, histories and genres, allowing us to explore the relationship between the sounds and the territories in which they were produced or which they occupy.

The songs will be commented on by nine IN2PAST researchers, six of them from CESEM: Filipa Magalhães (GIMC), Júlia Durand (GTCC), Manuel Pedro Ferreira (GEMA), Pedro Moreira (GTCC), Vanda de Sá (GMPM) and Zuelma Chaves (GEMA). The commented listening session ends with dinner, served at 8.30 pm, at A Padaria do Povo.

On Friday, 13 December, at 11 am, there will be a guided tour of the José Mário Branco Study and Documentation Centre – Music and Freedom (CEDJMB-ML), where researchers from CESEM / IN2PAST and INET-md look after and research the José Mário Branco collection entrusted to NOVA FCSH. This visit will be guided by Manuel Pedro Ferreira and Patrícia Lopes (GTCC), from CESEM, and by Ricardo Andrade and Hugo Castro, from INET-md.
