From beleaguered fortresses to belligerent cities
Ramos, Manuel JoãoGiven the progressively central role of religious affiliation as a marker of political identity in Ethiopian urban communities, this paper reflects on the impact of current imprints of conflict in inter- and intra-religious relations and the degree of government interference in national religious structures. As religion becomes part of the political debate, it is worth reading the present situation against the ...

Ramos, Manuel JoãoPouco ou quase nada se sabe sobre o manuscrito ET-748ª dos Archivi Abissini da Biblioteca Marciana de Veneza (BM). Trata-se de um pequeno volume de vinte e quatro folhas de pergaminho em formato in-quarto, rudemente cosidas entre si e guardadas numa bolsa de pele de vaca, forrada no interior com um pano de chita indiana. É um livro em escrita etiópica (propriamente, uma forma pouco sofisticada do silabário fïde...

Ramos, Manuel JoãoIn 1950, the large majority of African people lived under the dominance of a foreign colonial power or the violence of a racist regime. Later, in 1959, a large array of Subsaharan territories was vying for self-determination and independence, following the examples of Ghana and Guinea-Conakry, and stepping into an era of changing. The launching of the Afro-Asiatic movement in 1947 and the Bandung Conference in ...

Ramos, Manuel JoãoThe French ethnological expedition Dakar-Djibouti (1931-32) has been an infrequently debated event in the history of Africanist anthropology. Led by Marcel Griaule, then in his early thirties, it was conceived as both an extensive ethnographic survey and an art and artefact collecting mission to enrich the Parisian Musée du Trocadero (now the Musée de l’Homme).
A Universidade morreu
Ramos, Manuel JoãoA universidade como pilar cultural do estado-nação desmoronou-se com a crise deste face aos processos económicos, políticos e comunicacionais da globalização. Embora Bill Readings não fale propriamente nestes termos – até porque ele julga possível encontrar vias pedagógicas e ontológicas para que os académicos possam sobreviver entre as ruínas da academia -, poderíamos dizer que a universidade, enquanto produto...
Etiópia: Fantasmas da Memória
Ramos, Manuel JoãoÉ provável que muitas das problemáticas relacionadas com o simbólico em Antropologia não nos sejam reveladas pelas estruturas linguísticas e pelas construções culturais. Que sejam, pelo contrário, por elas camufladas e tornadas imperceptíveis. Daí a importância do comparativismo em Antropologia. Assim, há contextos onde o problema da diferença linguística, cultural, histórica e ontológica não se coloca.

Afonso, Ana Isabel; Ramos, Manuel JoãoThe overall aim of this paper is to draw attention to a potential new domain of research - relevant within European national contexts – generally stated as ‘the impact of motorisation in society’ [by motorisation I mean the massive phenomena of automobile diffusion and its uses, as an important dimension that accompanied urbanization process in different world regions].
The Myth of Prester John and Iberian visions of Ethiopia
Ramos, Manuel JoãoDuring a dramatic meeting near Debra Libanos in early 1524, emperor Lebna Dengel and D. Rodrigo de Lima, the first Portuguese ambassador in Ethiopia, discussed the contents of a world map that had been offered by the Portuguese king, D. Manuel I. Looking at the map, the Ethiopian emperor pointed out that Portugal was a very small country, and he advised the ambassador that if the Portuguese sovereign really wan...
Amhara Oral Traditions: The Urgency of Rescuing a Cultural Heritage
Ramos, Manuel JoãoAll human societies devise ways to filter and preserve memories of their past, since the complementary abilities to forget and remember are essential parts of their heritage and guarantors of their collective identity. The use of oral forms to narrate past events, and to make sense of the society’s position in the world, is widespread; their style, their subject matter, and their relation to other forms (writte...
Duality and Duplicity in Euro-Ethiopian historical relations
Ramos, Manuel JoãoSuffering the professional condition of an anthropologist (a class that understands little of diachrony and chronology), I believe I can be excused by my fellow historians and by the general public, for beginning my comment on the ancient Euro-Ethiopian relations, by bringing to memory the short period in the late fifties and early sixties of the last century when the Estado Novo (or “New State”, which we in Po...
