The celebrations of the April 25 (Carnation Revolution) in the municipality of Odemira have become a hallmark among the most intense and vibrant civic commemorations held in Portugal. Marking the fiftieth anniversary of the revolution, the present project’s main goal is to produce a retrospective ethnography of these commemorative practices, taking into account the transformations seen in this municipality from 1977 to the present. In terms of methodology, the project will entail consultation of public and private archives, of the local, regional and national press, as well as accompanying the commemorations and carrying out interviews with promoters and participants. This second phase of the project, while continuing the research carried out between April 2022 and January 2023, focuses on the processing of collected data and the writing of a book. 

The celebration of the first centenary at IST (Lisbon Institute of Technology, 1911-2011) serves as a framework for three multi-disciplinary themes developed by anthropologists and historians. 1) IST as a ´technological place´ analyses the relationship between the space and the knowledge production that is undertaken there. It implies bringing together a collection of technical artefacts and the drafting of a preliminary proposal for an "IST museum". The collection and the proposal are intended to present thematic aspects of the relationship between S&T (science and technology) and society. Participating observation is adopted and interviews are carried out on the institution's two campuses. 2) Engineering ´made in IST´ disseminated throughout the country. Situations are selected to consider the relationship between universities, industry and society. Oral history, press research and documentary analysis are used.\n3) IST students, teaching staff and engineers: training, image and authority. Special attention is given to sociabilities, representations, gestuality and feminization as phenomena of cultural incorporation into a professional group - by means of documentary analysis and criticism, oral history, questionnaires and iconographic analysis.
