Since 1991, 50 odd cities have been added to the World Heritage Cities List which today comprises 123 cities. Here, each of these cities is the object of a brief study which situates it in time and space, identifies its major historical milestones and describes its essential urban landmarks and features. Are also presented the criteria behind the recognition of these cities, according to the recommendations made by the International Council on Monuments and Sites to the UNESCO's World Heritage Committee.

I revisit Durkheim's understanding of modern society and use his framework to examine contemporary international society. I compare and contrast Durkheim's response to modernity with other sociological theorists of his day. Durkheim's is in many ways the most promising and relevant to the present. I ask why the kind of solidarity he envisaged has not developed in the modern world, where arguably inclusive forms of solidarity are almost everywhere on the decline. Drawing on this analysis I turn to international society and ask a series of questions of solidarity, its relative absence, or lumpiness and their consequences for international relations.

The present study examines the Portuguese right-wing and Hungarian communist regimes' attitudes towards homosexuality and sexual minorities through an analysis of English-language literary works translated and published in Hungary and Portugal between 1939 and 1974. One of its main objectives is to contribute to the scarce body of research on the history of non-normative sexualities by mapping literary works in English that might have been read by the queer community as possible self-help literature in the two countries. Besides the prevailing publishing practices, the modi operandi of the Hungarian and Portuguese censoring apparatuses are compared to see what kind of translated literature with homosexual content was or was not allowed to be published under the two opposing dictatorial regimes and why. The research draws heavily on the book censorship files stored at the National Archives of the Torre do Tombo in Lisbon along with the findings of the Hungarian project English-Language Literature and Censorship (1945-1989) and the project Intercultural Literature in Portugal 1930-2000: A Critical Bibliography.
