O volume 32/33 da Antropologia Portuguesa é constituído por artigos científicos na área da antropologia biológica com enfoque em assuntos tão diversos como a paleopatologia, a paleodemografia e a antropologia dentária. Os vários temas perscrutados, como as alterações das enteses, o desgaste dentário, as modificações dentárias e a trepanação, enfatizam o papel relevante dos fatores sociais e culturais na biologia do esqueleto. Esta confluência de saberes, inerente à antropologia, é fundamental no estudo das populações humanas, considerando a dimensão biocultural para explicar a importância dos fatores sociais e culturais subjacentes à variação morfológica humana e o seu papel na origem de várias doenças.

This edited collection presents the first critical and historical overview of photography in Portuguese colonial Africa to an English-speaking audience. Photography in Portuguese Colonial Africa, 1860–1975 brings together sixteen scholars from interdisciplinary fields as varied as history, anthropology, art history, visual culture and museum studies, to consider some of the key aspects in the visual representation of the longest-lasting European colonial empire in the African continent. The chapters span over two centuries and cover five formerly colonial territories – Angola, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and São Tomé and Príncipe – deploying a range of methodologies to explore the multiple meanings and the contested uses of the photographic image across the realms of politics, science, culture and war. This book responds to a marked surge of international interest in the relationship between photography and colonialism, which has hitherto largely overlooked the Portuguese imperial context, by delivering the most recent scholarly findings to a broad readership.
