Description

The project ANIMALx aims at researching the presence and role of non-human animals in the city’s history by identifying,
cataloguing, and mapping traces, spaces, and representations of animals. This will be the first systematic approach to historical human-animal
relations in the city of Lisbon, aiming to fill a gap in Portuguese historiography and academia. It is grounded on animal history, environmental history,
and urban history, with a crucial digital humanities component.
