Check out the April edition of the Oceans Past News here.
This month we begin a new section entitled "Naturae theatrum et mundum/The theatre of nature and the world". In this space, we will disclose short scripts concerning major Environmental History topics. These texts, under the form of reflections, comments on books/films/music/photos, fieldwork reports, projects’ presentations / academic works, among others, should encourage idea and experience sharing and reinforce collaboration between all members of REPORT(H)A. With this new section we hope to illustrate the growing dimension and thematic extent that defines Environmental History today.
Este mês damos início a uma nova rubrica a que chamámos "Naturae theatrum et mundum/O teatro da natureza e o mundo". Neste espaço, divulgaremos pequenos textos sobre grandes temas relacionados com a História Ambiental. Sob a forma de reflexões, comentários a livros/filmes/músicas/fotografias, relatos de trabalho de campo, apresentação de projetos/trabalhos académicos, entre outros, estes textos deverão estimular a partilha de ideias e experiências, reforçando a colaboração entre todos os membros da REPORT(H)A. Com esta nova rubrica esperamos ainda ilustrar a crescente dimensão e a enorme riqueza temática que hoje define a História Ambiental.

“No Lazareto de Lisboa” – 1881
Tendo em mente a situação de confinamento em que nos temos encontrado, procuramos testemunhos de como outrora se viveram momentos semelhantes. Lembramos aqui a obra “No Lazareto de Lisboa”, uma publicação humorística e satírica da autoria de Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro a propósito da sua permanência no Lazareto, onde foi obrigado a cumprir quarentena devido ao perigo de propagação da febre-amarela, quando do seu regresso do Brasil, em 1879. Publicada em 1881, com textos e ilustrações de sua autoria, a obra “No Lazareto de Lisboa” relata em magistrais caricaturas as peripécias da sua estadia no Brasil e as saudosas recordações de Lisboa. A obra integral está disponível para consulta em:
Considering the lockdown condition in which we are presently living, we looked for references on how people coped with these situations in the past. We present here, the humorous and satirical reportage from the renowned Portuguese artist Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro, written during his stay on Lisbon lazaret (hospital for contagious illness), in a mandatory quarantine to avoid the spread of the yellow-fever, after his return from Brazil (1879). Published in 1881, “No Lazareto de Lisboa” (“The Lazaretto of Lisbon”) shows illustrations and caricatures and includes personal thoughts and anecdotes to depict the author’s adventures in Brazil and his quarantine in the lazaretto. The full book is available on:
