Abstract (EN): The present book deals with very diverse historical themes and regionalities, most of which refer to Portuguese themes, all of which take part in the broad concept of Contemporary History, falling within the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In its intrinsic polysemy, the concept of Contemporary History refers to the historical discourse that historians produce and disseminate about recent times both inside and outside the academic space. Nowadays, Contemporary History debates with other forms of social memory and disputes its versions of the past with diverse mediation devices between present and past. If "all history is contemporary", the one that deals with the past we live in or that is close to us struggles even more with the plurality of narratives and with the challenge of remembrance.
