2 nd IN2PAST Field Trip “What’s yours, my friend?” | Commented music listening meeting and guided tour to Centro de Estudos e Documentação José Mário Branco

 

The IN2PAST Associated Laboratory researchers carry out their activities in different universities across the country, but spend part of their working time outside the walls of the academy. Throughout the year, they carry out conservation and heritage restoration missions, and go to the lands where they carry out ethnography or archaeological research. Museums and archives are also often their second home. They explore funds, reserves and collections, and collaborate in exhibitions and dissemination and training actions. These circumstances expose the knowledge they produce to the senses, characteristics and knowledge that their objects or partners bring with them, at the same time that the knowledge produced configures the matter and the people they study. In 2024-2025, IN2PAST promotes a field trip program that will take its researchers, and other audiences, to visit up close these non-academic places that so many also inhabit.

Music is an object of investigation around which IN2PAST brings together knowledge with different disciplinary origins, from musicology to sociology, history or anthropology. The issues of safeguarding artistic heritage also have a very relevant place in the laboratory work we carry out in terms of conservation, restoration or digitization.

The 2nd IN2PAST Field Trip is dedicated to music.

From the late afternoon of December 12th, at 6pm, in a historic location of Lisbon’s associative and cooperative life, A Padaria do Povo (R. Luís Derouet, 20A, 1350-135 Lisboa, https://maps.app.goo.gl/tHCbVPWnAzJiDffRA), we will listen to nine songs commented by nine IN2PAST researchers. One of them lends the title to our meeting: it is a well-known song by José Mário Branco, in which the neighborhoods of Lisbon echo, using the “popular march”. The other eight songs have different authorship, history and genre, allowing us to explore the relationships between the sounds and the territories in which they were produced or which they cover.

The commented listening meeting ends with dinner, served at 8.30 pm at Padaria do Povo.

 

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