Entre 11 e 14 de setembro, Inês Gomes e Frederico Ágoas apresentaram resultados preliminares da sua investigação em Cluj-Napoca (Roménia), na conferência bianual organizada pela European Rural History Organization (EURHO). Numa sessão intitulada ‘Knowledge Networks: The Role of Experts and Technicians in Agricultural Modernization (1900-1980)’, organizada por Jordi Planas (Universidade de Barcelona, Espanha), discutiram as ideias de ‘fogo bom’ e ‘fogo mau’, contrastando o conhecimento e usos tradicionais do fogo por populações rurais e o conhecimento científico e institucional que foi enquadrando aqueles usos como técnica agrícola e florestal de gestão do território.
