  Politically incorrect - does the world belong to polyglots?

  3rd international conference of foreign languages

  Ce colloque interroge la tendance monolinguistique et uniformatrice contrariant l'idée d'un monde global de toutes les langues et de toutes les cultures. Cette idée sera la prémisse principale qui conduira les débats, idée qui entend également que l’apprentissage d’une variété de langues étrangères peut ouvrir la porte au dialogue, dépasser les frontières et enrichir les cultures. Dans le monde actuel qui affirme les frontières et réaffirme les identités pour dépasser la déconnexion et l’incommunicabilité, nous croyons au polyglottisme naturel des espaces frontaliers, au cosmopolisme culturel séculier et à leur porosité.

  Victor Segalen, exoticism in question

  Yesterday and today, distance and proximity, similitude and otherness

  À la faveur des commémorations du centenaire de la mort du romancier et poète français Victor Segalen, et alors que l’émergence, tant théorique que critique, d’une « fiction-monde » s’impose dans les études littéraires - laquelle met le comparatisme à l’épreuve et complexifie les prémisses des études postcoloniales -, et que la perspective classique dégagée par Edward W. Saïd sur le constructum de l’Orient par l’Occident ne rend plus compte, à elle seule, de l’étendue des questions soulevées par la globalisation des faits, des enjeux et des fictions, il nous semble pertinent de nous pencher, avec un recul théorique et dans un empan qui inclut les XIX, XX et XXIèmes siècles en langue française, sur la notion changeante et transversale d’« exotisme ».

  Making Sense of Latin Classics in the Middle Ages

  12th Celtic Conference in Classics (panel 11)

  The aim of this panel is to explore how medieval authors have dealt with the Classical heritage within their own cultural context. This enquiry could illustrate different degrees of exploitation of classical texts: from systematic excerption to scattered quotations naturalized in different frameworks, from the reshaping of biographies, political and philosophical treatises to the reuse of poetical patterns in order to convey new values. Making sense always implies a multiple perspective. The goal of this panel is to encourage the interaction between different points of view – historical, philological, literary, philosophical, scientific – in order to get a better understanding of the cultural background through which the Classics had to pass before reaching us.

  The Hydraulics in Monumental Buildings

  The hydraulic system is an architectural subsystem that can only be understood in view of the dual constitution of its structure: one at ground level, that referrers to potable water (lower hydraulic subsystem), and other concerning rainwater (upper hydraulic subsystem). They both involve aspects of major importance for the functioning of any building: catchment, distribution and evacuation of the waters. In the last decade, research was carried out on the hydraulic component of historical architecture, either religious or civil, considering technical and artistic issues, not only in Portugal, but throughout Europe.

  Literary studies today? The issues and advantages of a discipline

  Pour cette deuxième rencontre, on se propose de revenir, après d’autres débats qui ont eu lieu, et dont on tentera, entre autres, une sorte de synthèse, à la question de l’utilité des études littéraires. Quand on s’occupe des textes, des livres, sur papier, sur écran, car nous vivons aussi actuellement l’avènement des humanités numériques, à quoi bon ? Cela sert à quoi, ce type d’attention, ce genre d’activité, ces longs séjours en bibliothèque, en médiathèque ? Quelle finalité ? Quels bénéfices ? Pour le dire avec Montaigne : de quoi voulons-nous, allons-nous « traiter » ?

  Urban audiovisual festival

  Second edition

  Up to a certain point, the way we move to cities is the way we live cities. We choose our transportation based on the time, the safety of the way etc. From home to work or to the school, from work to a leisure activity, to visit a friend, regardless of where we are going, we always think about the best way to commute and get there. However, getting around the city is not a democratic act, yet. Living in the periphery is not the same as living in the city center, and such a distinction implies the time of travel, the costs and the supply of the types of transportation that we will have access to. On the other hand, and simultaneously, new forms of mobility emerge every day that are not always consensual in the urban context where they arise.

  Figuras do pós-humano

  Literatura, Cinema, Banda Desenhada

  Organizado no âmbito do Projeto Limiar Homem/Animal/Máquina, este Colóquio Internacional pretende debater as figuras do pós-humano a partir desta questão nuclear: como é que a ficção literária, fílmica e em BD configura os efeitos culturais dos avanços científicos? E isso de um modo assumidamente intermedial e interdisciplinar. Razão pela qual serão consideradas como prioritárias as comunicações capazes de focarem as figuras do pós-humano em dois (ou três) dos media em jogo – literatura, cinema, banda desenhada –, privilegiando as conexões entre eles.

  Transatlantic Voices: The Literary Atlantic in Perspective

  Cadernos de literatura comparada No. 40

  One of the innovations in literary studies during the past few decades has been the increasing interest in aspects of the empirical universe that have been frequently approached in the literary universe. The triad, gender, race and class, or, to use more up-to-date theoretical terminology, sexualities, ethnicities, post-colonialisms and cultural studies, have long become commonplace in both theoretical works and others more focused on literary analysis and critique...We invite Literary and Cultural Studies researchers to submit papers within the scope of a Lusophone, Francophone, Hispanophone or Angolophone Literary Transatlantic

  Gesture and Belief: routes, transfers and intermediality

  In the last decades, the body’s role and its agency have gained new centrality in the analysis of the religious experience. Through its connection with materiality, the religious expression surpasses the spiritual to be understood as a chain of relationships and encounters between bodies, objects and sensory stimuli. Accordingly, under the premise of “routes, transfers and intermediality”, this event seeks innovative readings on subjects that discuss, question and rethink dynamics of circulation, transmission and alterity, through an exchange of ideas and objects of study, which crosses borders and disciplines.

  Cultural literacy and cosmopolitan conviviality

  Cultural literacy in Europe: 3rd biennial conference

  This conference will address modes of conviviality that cultures may have resisted, promoted or facilitated down the ages and especially in the present. It will reflect upon the role and effects of cultural literacy in different media, in the shaping of today’s politics and global economy. As a potent tool for spreading ideas and ideologies, cultural literacy helps shape world-views and social attitudes in indelible ways that need further investigation.

  Representations of the self and the other in satirical images

  From the French Revolution to the present day

  Le colloque organisée par l'Institut d'Histoire Contemporaine de NOVA FCSH cherchera à répondre à des questions telles que: quelles idées communes, quels buts et quelles attitudes exprimés par la presse satirique ont façonné le concept de nation? Qui étaient les "autres" représentés par l’image satirique par opposition à "nous"? Comment les visions et les représentations de «l'autre» par opposition au «soi» exprimées par l'image satirique ont-elles aidé à définir les identités nationales, à construire la notion de communauté et à façonner les stéréotypes nationaux ?

  A transmedial process

  Conference metalepsis

  Metalepsis has been increasingly present in several artistic fields, by enhancing a self-reflexive porosity between narrative levels and by provoking a very special kind of ontological sliding. When Gérard Genette (1972) transferred this figure from the field of rhetoric to that of narratology, in order to describe the subversion of boundaries between narrative levels, or the non-distinction between the diegetic and extradiegetic worlds, he associated the disquieting nature of the metalepsis with the following “unacceptable and insistent” hypothesis: we, as recipients of a work structured by this narratological figure, may find ourselves in the (Borgesian) odd circumstance of noticing that the extradiagetic could already be the diegetic.

  Work and cooperation

  Laboreal Dossier

  If human beings are the result of a historical process and not the product of a pre-established plan, it is important to emphasize the significance of cooperative actions for their preservation throughout this process. A path in which work – as a constitutive element of our species – plays a decisive role in these actions. How has cooperation been taking place in formal and informal work activities? How have the current modes of management and their evaluation and training systems contributed to the construction or weakening of cooperative acts at work? What are the requirements to build cooperation?

  7th Congress of the Portuguese Anthropological Association (APA)

  The 7^th Portuguese Anthropological Association congress aims to discuss the condition of being human and being in the world today. 2019, a year of a possible calendar among many other available. Without identifying themes, reference words, categories or classifications, 2019 marks a stage in the social and natural history of the planet. The openness suggested in an “untitled” congress also points to an anthropology without conceptual, thematic or epistemological boundaries. It is life in itself that interests anthropology, anthropologies, thinking the gerund of human existence, others and the rest from multiple interpretive possibilities. After all, anthropology is practiced on everything and everyone in a project of knowledge that remains inexhaustible in terms of what exists and is to come.
