Rita Anuar is a PhD student in Portuguese Studies at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa on an FCT scholarship. Her research project aims to explore the notions of knowledge and imagination in the works of Maria Gabriela Llansol and Walter Benjamin, paying particular attention to the defence of both authors’ affinities with childhood and the figure of the “child”. She has a degree in Communication Sciences and a master’s degree in Contemporary Art History from Universidade Nova de Lisboa. In her master’s thesis, Body, Experience and Impossibility in Rui Chafes – an analysis of Sonho e Morte, Comer o Coração and Unsaid, she devoted herself to the problems of art historiography surrounding the work of the Portuguese sculptor Rui Chafes. She has collaborated with publications in the fields of literature (Revista Limoeiro Real) and the visual arts (ArteCapital; Umbigo Magazine). She also writes and draws.
