- "Neither brute nor human": Poe’s poetical critters and some subsequent re-vampingsPublication . Gato, Margarida Vale de,
- Music, the avant-gardes, and counterculture: invisible republicsPublication . Duarte, AnabelaThis book studies how the complex relationship between music, the avant-garde, and counterculture challenges all sorts of boundaries. By exploring the avant-garde as a thoughtful inquiry into experimentation, creativity, and originality, we bring to the fore the "invisible republics" of culture, the ephemeral, the suppressed, and the unconformity of artistic and political undercurrents. Avant-garde and experimental art are international in scope, and their trajectory, as we see it, has been to expand themselves towards a new enlightenment, a critical project, and a rhizomatic entity, albeit with tacit harmony and cohesion. From Bucharest to Paris, London to New York, Paris to Brazil, Cuba, or Chile, to name a few, the same urge for the unknown and anti-art poetics emerged almost simultaneously in every field. We ask how these separate geographical territories (and practices) speak to each other and how this might reshape scholars' historical understanding of European and American modernity.
- The migrant child: doing the puzzle of home in Suneeta Peres da Costa's novella "Saudade"Publication . Page, JeanIn her recent English-language novella Saudade (2018), the Australian-born writer Suneeta Peres da Costa (b. 1976) draws on her Goan heritage and family’s recent diasporic experience. The novella introduces the protagonist Maria-Cristina, the young daughter of a Portuguese-speaking Catholic Goan expatriate family who migrated to Angola after the incorporation of Goa by India in 1961. Through this child’s vision of everyday domestic life in Angola, Peres da Costa constructs a portrait of a migrant minority family ambivalent about their own culture and trying to adapt to a new society where signs of decolonisation are already evident. This short Bildungsroman set within a dysfunctional, uncommunicative family shows its young protagonist, unaided by memory or anecdote, piecing together her own complex diasporic family history suggested by food, dress, culture and language (of these “confused souls of Babel,” Saudade, 7) – the common imperial language of Portuguese and also Angola’s Kimbundu and Goa’s Konkani. Maria-Cristina also draws on gossip and local politics, up until the time of her own sudden return to her family in Goa after Angolan independence and her father’s suicide. This paper addresses the way a more complex sense of identity and culture is discovered and constructed through the traces of daily life and its interruptions recorded in the girl’s awakening consciousness.
- Communist censorship in Hungary and beyondPublication . Gombár, ZsófiaThis chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the history of censorship in Hungary with the main focus on literary translations made under Communist rule. Literary publications were primarily filtered through pre-selection restraint exercised by publishing professionals whose work was monitored by a varying set of censoring institutions. Although self-censorship was a central element in the constraining mechanism of the Rákosi era as well, it became the dominant form of control under the Kádár administration. The study collects all currently available evidence on the existence of censorship in State-Socialist Hungary and makes suggestions for further study.
- Conversion or subversion: homosexuality on the portuguese stage in Estado Novo PortugalPublication . Gombár, ZsófiaThe chapter gives an overview of the general attitudes towards theatrical representations of homosexuality in Estado NovoPortugal. As in many other countries of the era, same-sex activity was a criminal offence, and therefore, any depiction of homosexual themes or characters on stage was prohibited according to the laws in force. The chapter discusses how censorship authorities systematically banned homosexual content and references on stage but also explores plays that dared to defy societal norms and gender conventions, intriguingly bypassing censorship. The chapter seeks to answer whether theatre practitioners included these polemical plays in their repertoire in order to bravely address homosexuality as a subject matter such as in the case of Peter Shaffer’s Five Finger Exercise in the Teatro Estúdio de Lisboa founded by lesbian couple Luzia Maria Martins and Helena Félix (1966) or the plays were stripped off their central theme so as to be approved by the censors, as it happened with Cat on a Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams on the Portuguese stage in 1959.
- Imagens paralelas: planos americanosPublication . Duarte, José, 1984-; Francisco, AndréImagens Paralelas: Planos Americanos propõe-se como uma oportunidade de (re)visitar histórias cinematográficas por meio da citação. Com o cinema americano – clássico e pós-clássico – no centro da discussão, o livro explora o poder de fotogramas e sequências que simbolicamente conectam filmes distintos. Ao longo de onze capítulos, a obra investiga a citação como projeção estética, estratégia de alinhamento entre cineastas ou obras, marca autoral, recurso simbólico que ilumina outras narrativas ou técnica que dá origem a histórias mediadas pela própria imagem cinematográfica. O livro oferece-se, assim, como uma oportunidade de (re)descobrir o que habita dentro das imagens.
- Dez ar marPublication . Gato, Margarida Vale de, 1973-; Duarte, José, 1984-Ten (+ 10) poets and scholars (including artistic partnerships) were invited to experiment with the question: how to breathe in and navigate through the climate crisis? We were particularly interested in coastal issues or “ecotones,” areas where at least two communities/environments overlap. The ocean and the coastline invite the “ebbing” of our thought and writing on the water’s edge, “deterritorializing” certain concepts, such as “disciplinary field,” which Steve Mentz, in his book Ocean (2020), proposes to replace with “currents.” Or, another notion that could be di_erently steered: the verse “line,” which can become a crest, a plane, a wave, with di_erent vibrations and resonances on the horizon, and a significant force in the poetry–life equation. It is urgent to approach this equation through more intersubjective and ecocentric ways of using language.
- Na raíz de todos os males: terror doméstico no séc. XXIPublication . Duarte, José, 1984-; Santos Da Silva, SanioEste livro reúne onze textos dedicados ao tema do Terror Doméstico, tendo-nos interessado pensar os recentes espaços que o terror ocupa, em particular a casa, que é transversal a todos os capítulos. Através da análise de filmes e séries contemporâneas, olhamos para a permeabilidade do espaço doméstico e a forma como este revela as contradições e ameaças de algo que não pode nem consegue ser contido e que é, no fundo, “monstruoso”, destabilizando a ordem natural das coisas e causando, por isso, terror.
- Natural in versoPublication . Duarte, José, 1984-; Gato, Margarida Vale de, 1973-É um conjunto de reflexões e criações, por académicos e escritores em português e inglês, sobre a leitura, a escrita, a ação ambiental e a natureza. Impulsionado por uma homenagem a Ralph Waldo Emerson, com o qual alguns dos textos estabelecem diálogo, este livro pretende contribuir para modos de “escrita da natureza” em Portugal. Organizado pelo Grupo de Estudos Americanos do Centro de Estudos Anglísticos da Universidade de Lisboa. Esta publicação integrou-se no Congresso Internacional Naturally Emerson, organizado pelo Grupo de Estudos Americanos do Centro de Estudos Anglísticos da Universidade de Lisboa.
