| Summary/Abstract |
Recent claims about humanitarian intervention express forms of domination that are both geopolitical and increasingly constructed around a biopolitical duty to relieve the suffering of brutalized peoples. This paper examines this presumed duty in the context of tensions between juridical-institutional accounts of sovereignty and practices of suzerainty in which intervention "outside" is accompanied by intervention "inside."

| Summary/Abstract |
This paper explores the geopolitical imagination of the Catholic Church, particularly in relation to the former colonies of Portugal and Spain during the late imperial period (1930–1975). At that time, authoritarian dictators with strong Catholic ideology ruled both countries. However, the relationship between the Catholic missionaries and the colonial authorities of the Iberian imperial states was not always in harmony. There were sometimes contradictions between them. The geopolitics of the Catholic Church and the colonial geopolitics of the Iberian states were convergent but not always coincident. This paper describes and analyses the Spanish and Portuguese states’ policies towards the missions. It also studies the missionary discourse in the metropolis, and its impact and reflection in the colonies.

| Summary/Abstract |
The representation of territory is one of the most important elements in the construction of national identities. It is impossible to imagine a nation without territory, as every irredentist movement reminds us. Territory is the "real" body of the nation, at least in nationalist iconography.
Some recent works show that cartography has been a tool of propaganda for the European dictatorships in the 1930s and 1940s. Political propaganda in a modern sense began in Portugal with the New State (Estado Novo), and the use of cartography was relevant, although it did not have a central role as in Germany.
This paper tries to describe and analyse the ways to see the empire as a nation in Portugal during the Salazar regime. It discusses mainly the use of maps in the great exhibitions of the time, and also the school cartography and its insertion in the general discourse of colonialism in Portugal. Finally it also deals with the resistance to imperial narratives, showing its entanglement with them.
