O Real Paço Mafra: do Magnânimo ao Clemente (UAb)

Erguido numa lógica de afirmação do poder real, o Real Paço de Mafra está intimamente ligado à figura de D. João V. Mas a adaptação a novos tempos, a evolução do gosto, o terramoto de 1755 e as campanhas de Napoleão vão determinar a forma como o Paço vai sendo (ou não) habitado ao longo do século XVIII. Outro monarca, D. João VI, deixará também a sua marca neste que era um dos seus Paços favoritos. Conheça neste curso esta e outras dimensões da história do Palácio.

Seeing Through Photographs (Coursera)

Although taking, sharing, and viewing photographs has become second nature for many of us, our regular engagement with images does not necessarily make us visually literate. This course aims to address the gap between seeing and truly understanding photographs by introducing a diversity of ideas, approaches, and technologies that inform their making. In this course you will look closely at 100 photographs from the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, going behind the scenes of the Museum and into artist studios through original films and audio interviews.

Paradoxes of War (Coursera)

The Paradoxes of War teaches us to understand that war is not only a normal part of human existence, but is arguably one of the most important factors in making us who we are. Through this course, I hope that you will come to appreciate that war is both a natural expression of common human emotions and interactions and a constitutive part of how we cohere as groups. That is, war is paradoxically an expression of our basest animal nature and the exemplar of our most vaunted and valued civilized virtues.
