Mobilidade e Migrações no Atlântico

Objectives

The course consists on a diachronic approach of the major phases of mobility and inter-continental and islands migrations of the Atlantic, in the timeline between the 15th and 20th centuries. It is intended that the students master the problem underlying, the major issues and themes of syllabus, that deepen the knowledge already acquired and reflect on the dynamics about population transfer that occurred between the "margins" of the ocean and the Islands and continents. In each seminar, students will analyze and discuss the causes and consequences of migration, its contours and features, the territories of origin and of the impact, motivations and goals. The centrality of the study will focus on Portugal, Azores and Madeira, but taking into account the contexts and international examples. Privileging the search capacity and autonomy of students, will be provide research clues that support the final work.
