Argument
The Interdisciplinary PhD School “Making and Unmaking Religious Heritage. Conflict,
Competition and Cooperation at Small Scale” will take place in Lisbon and Évora in
Portugal during 5 days.
Open to PhD students and post-docs of social sciences and humanities working on religious
and/or heritage matters. The PhD School is funded by the Foundation for Science and
Technology (FCT, Portugal) and the LabexMed (France). It involves researchers from the
CIDEHUS-Universidade de Évora (Portugal), the FCSH-Nova (Portugal), the PhD Programme
“Antropologia. Políticas e Imagens da Cultura e Museologia” (FCSH-Nova de Lisboa, CRIA,
IELT, INET-MD, et ISCTE-IUL, Portugal), the IDEMEC (UMR 7307 Aix Marseille Université
CNRS), the TELEMME (UMR 7303 Aix Marseille Université CNRS), the École française
d’Athènes (Greece) and the École des Hautes Études Hispaniques et Ibériques - Casa de
Velázquez (Spain).
The PhD School aims at providing young researchers with theoretical and methodological
tools to explore heritage-making processes carried out by religious or other groups, from an
interdisciplinary and comparative perspective. Participants will address different topics from a
large panel of Mediterranean and European case studies such as: entanglements between
religion, politics and heritage-making; community agency; international collaboration in
culture and heritage; heritage conflict and
cooperation; social and political uses of the past.
What are the places and the role of religion in
past and present heritage practices? How can
religious and cultural minorities overpass the
hegemonic status of dominating elites? Through
heritage-making, what are the links and the
frictions between local, national and international
tourism, intimate representations of cultural and
self identity? How far can cultural heritage be
considered as a peaceful or a conflict tool of
inter-confessional and interethnic relationships?
Which are the uses of heritage and tourist
devices (archives, museums, private collections,
and also theme parks and cultural mediation
systems) in contemporary practices?
Instructors
The 13 scholars from France, Portugal, Spain and UK are all strongly involved in
innovative empirical surveys and come from a wide range of disciplines (anthropology,
history, history of art, geography, museum studies, religious studies).

Pilgrimage and Low-Intensity Violence: The Role of Anthropologists as Heritage Mediators
I will use the case study of the pilgrimage of Santiago (route to Finisterre) to analyze the effects
that pilgrimage is having on local populations. I’m using the philosopher Jullien and his
concept of “silent transformations” to look at the role of anthropologists as heritage mediators.
