Title: Learning to notice and love in a multispecies world Authors: Ilhéu, Maria; Valente, Mariana Abstract: For several years we have dedicated our- selves to find strategies in order to change world perspectives by “noticing” so many ways of life of more than humans and world- ing with them. With this aim we have been working with pupils, students, educators, re- searchers, and others. It began by following the “delicate empiricism” of J. W. Goethe. Through this method we venture to live di- rect, sensitive and affective experiences in different outdoor places; we treasure the time and the continuity of experiences and assign their meaning, stimulating the use of different languages in raising short stories. Through these multiple stories we can no- tice and attend the transformations of each one in these processes. The voices of Mi- chel Serres, Anna Tsing, Natasha Myers and Carla Hustak, Vinciane Despret, Donna Ha- raway, Isabelle Stengers, among many oth- ers, have helped us to weave the narrative that we bring here. In this narrative made together with the short stories mentioned before, perception and sensibility come to- gether with other forms of knowledge; with them we may develop an ethical and affec- tive commitment. A new model of knowledge is ongoing, as Tsing states; its fundamental characteristic is multispecies love. Our narrative includes fragments of mak- ing-world projects; discoveries of “abun- dance of reality” in the most unexpected places, both in semi-natural and in urban affection and care beyond species lines.

Title: O valor dos encontros com as artes visuais no ensino da física: narrativas interdisciplinares Authors: Valente, Mariana Abstract: conferência convidada de ARCITE cuja sinopse é:As artes, as ciências e as tecnologias fazem normalmente parte do escopo de interesse da maioria das instituições de ensino superior, tanto que, cada vez mais, estas entidades nos últimos anos têm feito um notório esforço para ampliar a sua oferta formativa, criando novos cursos, sobretudo na área das artes (em regra a parte mais débil da oferta formativa). A ideia geral deste evento é a de mostrar e debater experiências bem sucedidas de transversalidades entre as artes, tecnologias e ciências, realizadas no terreno da academia ou no da profissionalidade, tendo como pano de fundo uma ideia de comunicação (e estetização do conhecimento). Daí que o foco, nesta primeira edição deste evento, seja colocado na comunicação, na imagem, na arte e na ilustração. Pretende-se conhecer e explorar as possibilidades da replicação de “estudos de caso” e analisar o que aumentou a eficácia didático-pedagógica dessas experiências. Acresce ainda que desenvolvimentos recentes na área educacional, em particular, a popularização e o crescimento do ensino por projetos de trabalho, vem a colocar extraordinários desafios pedagógicos à educação, quer a montante, no que respeita à formação de professores, quer a jusante, no que respeita ao trabalho realizado em sala de aula, obrigando a repensar novas formas de transversalizar o conhecimento permeabilizando mais os saberes disciplinares…

Title: Glimpses of the colonial collections at the 1862 London Exhibition: The case of the Angolan ‘Objects’ at the Portuguese section Authors: Albuquerque, Sara; Salgueiro, Ângela Abstract: The 1862 London Exhibition ‘was a symbol of mid-Victorian aspiration’ with a clear image to the world of Britain’s ambition and its empire. These kind of exhibitions were opportunities for other empires, such as the Portuguese empire to assert and highlight the potential of its colonies. The case of the Portuguese representation during the 19th century in world exhibitions has been examined, however, the display of colonial products remains somehow less explored. This research examines the representation of Portugal and its colonies at the 1862 London Exhibition, in particular the case of the colonial objects of natural history collected what today is known as Angola. Several aspects of the exhibition were analysed, in particular: objects, spaces and actors involved in the preparation of the Portuguese section. Regarding the later, two main figures were crucial for the organisation of this representation: Friedrich Welwitsch (1806-1872) organised, contributed and suggested objects that should be collected from Angola and Júlio Máximo de Oliveira Pimentel (the viscount of Vila Maior, 1809-1884) the royal commissioner at the London Exhibition. In order to understand which objects were on display, Welwitsch’s publications: Explanatory Synopsis of Samples of Timber and Medicinal Drugs (1862) and The Preliminary Notes on various objects from Angola (1861) were crucial to this research. Although the Portuguese representation was severely criticised by the press, Welwitsch was awarded with four gold medals for the colonial objects presented.

Title: Becoming with... Seed bag carriers in happy cohabitations Authors: Rasteiro, Ana; Valente, Mariana; Ilhéu, Maria Abstract: This presentation aims to evaluate how children's cartography (CC) can be implemented as a research-intervention methodology promoting children agency within early childhood education for sustainability. Research suggests children can engage and offer solutions to complex issues about sustainability and their lives (Almeida&Costa,2021) promoting changes in local communities (Ärlemalm-Hagsér&Davis, 2014) while researching the surrounds (Almeida&Damásio,2020). We propose an approach to Sustainability based on a conceptual framework in which child agency is valued within a children-adult-context relation (Oswell, 2016). CC is a research-intervention methodology with children as researchers and present-acting agents (Almeida&Costa,2021) as in other methodologies assuming agency as an ethical and political compromise with ongoing transformations (Davies, 2014). CC are included in critical qualitative research paradigm (MacNaughton, 2005). We present two cartographic experiences in early childhood contexts addressing the three movements of this methodology: i) preparation with the children of the cartographic process; ii) displacement through the territory registering the experiences using audio-visual materials and a diary; iii) discussion of the process. Data were analyzed by content and interpretative analysis of the children's discourses and products. Informed consent was negotiated with the children involved and re-negotiated during the research process. Participants were given the opportunity to withdraw of the study. CC through the three movements provide opportunities for children to understand, act and participate in their local community with specific and mean-full proposals of change. The main contribution is introducing the discussion about CC as a methodology that promotes a relational agency while children build a comprehensive vision of Sustainability.
