Following a partnership established in 2020 between the IELT and the Lisbon Municipal Archive, a research programme has begun that focuses on the technical procedures of book binding and ornamentation and the identification of the workshops and artisans who historically dedicated to and exercised the craft in the city of Lisbon. More recently, it has also focused on the history of printing and publishing in the city and its relations with the activity in other geographies, creating a sensorial memory of the book as a collection object and tactile and olfactory matter, which is ritualized and moulded into many formats and genres.

The work is structured in three tasks:

1. To record by visual means the trades that are associated with the material production of the book, namely the arts of bookbinding and gilding, (a) to recognize the places in the urban geography of Lisbon where bookbinding and gilding workshops existed, (b) to inventory the existing workshops, (c) to inventory the ways of working and the technical and common vocabulary employed, (d) to capture narratives and life stories (entry into the profession, careers);

2. To survey publishers, booksellers, auctioneers, librarians, artists and other agents who bridge the metaphysical, aesthetic and ethical dimension of the book;

3. To understand the formats that diversify it and are the expression of the book as a pedagogical and aesthetic phenomenon of our times: the object-book, the artist-book, the architecture-book, as well as the illustrated book, the graphic-book, the comic book, etc.

This project aims to generate a visual collection about the current phenomenon around the Book, producing video documentaries, as well as a digital platform that will systematize the research results (under development). The work team is composed of members of the institutions involved and bookbinders, under the direction of IELT researcher Luís Sousa Martins. The working team is composed of members from the institutions involved, under the direction of IELT researcher Luís Sousa Martins.

Some of the recent actions:

1. the organization of the Conference Os artesãos do livro e o espírito militante, given by Beatriz Peralta of the Universidad de Oviedo (Almada Negreiros College, Campolide Campus of the Lisbon Nova University, April 19, 2022);

2. making and premiering the video documentary Arte no livro, integrated in the programming of the 5L Festival, International Literary Festival Literature and Portuguese Language (Palácio Galveias Library, May 5, 2022);

3. preparation of the 20th issue of Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal under the title O Livro no seu Tempo: Lugares, Matérias, Formas e Técnicas, with the scientific coordination of Fernando J. Bouza Álvarez (Complutense University, Madrid), João Luís Lisboa (NOVA FCSH) and Luís Martins (NOVA FCSH), with call for papers under way;

4.design of the database structure (under development) that will systematize the research results in the project’s website (under development).

 

The project, which started in 2022, is part of the romanceiro.pt platform and has as its main goal the analysis of the eroticism, implicit or explicit, in the corpus of the Pan-Hispanic romance, whose study has not yet been carried out in an exhaustive way.

With this purpose, the work will be carried out in two phases. Firstly, a reading and revision of the ancient and modern oral romance corpus will take place in order to identify and catalogue the scenes and the erotic symbolism associated to certain themes of the romanceiro. Secondly, a SQL relational database will be developed in which the materials will be organized in an ordered manner for subsequent collection and interpretation. Furthermore, the possibilities of semantic tagging, using the standard Textual Encoding Initiative (XML-TEI) of words or expressions with sexual meaning will be explored.

This project has as its starting point the doctoral thesis La imaginería en la poesía erótica de los Siglos de Oro (UCM, 2021), in which a commentary of close to five hundred and fifty poems and more than three thousand sexual images was carried out. Based on the theoretical and methodological approach developed here and, on the results obtained in this research, we will set off in search of sexual double meanings in the romance corpus.

For the first stage of the work, which will be developed at IELT – NOVA FCSH and, in particular, in the mentioned research platform romanceiro.pt, three main tasks were set:

1.Review of the Portuguese romance corpus in order to select the texts to be analyzed;
2. Creation of the appropriate SQL database structure for the organization and storage of the data to be obtained
3. Feeding the database with the results of the analysis of the selected corpus.

Erotic images in Pan-Hispanic romance: cataloguing, analysis and digital tagging is a project financed under a contract “Margarita Salas para la requalification de joined doctors (CT31/21)”, funded by the Ministry of Universities of Spain. Its development, under the responsibility of Álvaro Piquero and the supervision of Sandra Boto and Pere Ferré, researchers responsible for romanceiro.pt, will last for two years: the first consists in a research stay at IELT – NOVA FCSH, while the second will take place at the Department of Hispanic Literatures and Bibliography of the Complutense University of Madrid.

 

The main objective of the project started in 2021 is to study the interpolation of romances in Spanish literature of the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. It is articulated with the IELT’s Literary revisions: the creative application of ancient ballads (15th-18th centuries) project which pursues the same purpose within Portuguese literature.

The final goal of the association of the GOLDEN-Rom and RELIT-Rom projects is to constitute a critical archive of testimonies of the convergence of romances in Peninsular literature between the 15th and 17th centuries, and of the complex and multifaceted effects produced by interpolations of the romances in new literary contexts. In this sense, it will contribute to the knowledge of the ancient scholarly circulation of romances in the Peninsula and to a renewed reading of the works that integrated the ballad verses.

GOLDEN-Rom takes as its starting point the collection of 2,000 quotations and allusions to romances assembled by the Spanish philologist María Goyri, which is kept in the Ramón Menéndez Pidal Foundation. María Goyri was inspired by the work done by Carolina Michaëlis de Vasconcelos in Romances velhos em Portugal (initially published between 1907 and 1909), where several hundred references to romances in Portuguese literature are collected. Goyri’s inventory remains unpublished and needs the revision, amplification and updating that Vasconcelos’ prompted the RELIT-Rom project (the latter is currently in a later research phase). To this end, GOLDEN-Rom proposes to:

1. to catalogue into a digital structure every reference to romances identified in Spanish literature by Goyri and later specialists;

2. analyse the creative use of quotations and allusions to romances by Spanish writers and musicians of the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries;

3. to study the differences and similarities in the use of these poetic materials by Portuguese and Spanish writers, comparing the inventories of Goyri, Vasconcelos and the contributions of later scholars.

 

The project is the result of an international partnership, involving IELT, CICS.NOVA/Faces de Eva, of the School of Social and Human Sciences of the Nova University Lisbon, and CRILUS/UR Études Romanes, of the University of Paris Nanterre.

Started in 2019, the project aims to integrate writing by women into the literary heritage, promoting the knowledge, unveiling and dissemination of female writers who published between 1926 and 1974, as well as their works, since, even with regard to the 20th century, the canon of Portuguese literature is essentially male. The social, cultural and political context in which much of these women’s production emerged points to writing as an act of courage, in some cases punished with silencing, persecution or erasure.

The project is based on two distinct but complementary pillars:

1) The organisation of international conferences:

– Ver/Rever a Escrita de Mulheres em Portugal (1926-1974), March 5th and 6th, 2020 (Almada Negreiros College – NOVA FCSH Campolide Campus);
– Voir/Revoir l’écriture de femmes au Portugal (1926-1974), October 9th, 2020 (Université Paris Nanterre);
– Maria Judite de Carvalho: les frontières de l’humain face aux débris du monde, March 15th, 2021 (Université Paris Nanterre):
– Maria Archer: reflexos e reflexões, January 24th, 2022 (National Library of Portugal);
– Natália Correia: La voix rebelle (1923-2023), October 26th, 2023 (Université Paris Nanterre et Maison de Portugal André de Gouveia, Cité Internationale)

The volume Escritoras portuguesas no tempo da Ditadura Militar e do Estado Novo, Peter Lang – Bruxelles, published in 2023, brings together some of the most important contributions produced to date as part of the project, the results of which have already been presented and discussed at the first two colloquia. This volume was organised by José Manuel da Costa Esteves, Isabel Henriques de Jesus and Teresa Sousa de Almeida (coord.) and is part of the ‘Mondes de Langue Portugaise’ collection, directed by Graça dos Santos.

The volume Maria Archer – Um percurso insubmisso, published in 2024 by Editora D’Ideias, brings together essays on one of the authors who is part of the project’s database and complements the international colloquium Maria Archer: Reflexos e reflexões.

As part of the ‘Temporada França-Portugal 2022’, two other international colloquiums were held under the theme of the project, integrating the official programme:

– Femmes écrivaines portugaises pendant da dictature militaire et l’État Nouveau (1926-1974), February 24th, 2022 (Université Paris Nanterre);
– Escritoras portuguesas no tempo da Ditadura Militar e do Estado Novo. O cinquentenário de Novas Cartas Portuguesas. Subversão e solidariedade feminista, October 13th and 14th, 2022 (Universidade Nova de Lisboa).

In both editions, emphasis will be given to Novas cartas portuguesas of the ‘Three Marias’ marking the fiftieth anniversary of the seizure by the Censorship that generated a wave of solidarity on the part of French women writers.

B) The creation of an open database:

It consists of the cataloguing and analysis of the literary production of Portuguese and/or Portuguese-speaking women authors from African, Asian or countries where Portuguese emigration created centres of language and culture, who published between 1926 and 1974.

The inclusion of the authors/works in the database was determined by the following criteria:

1. They are Portuguese and/or Portuguese-speaking, although they may have published in languages other than Portuguese;
2. They published during the defined time frame, i.e., between the years 1926 and 1974 (they may have also published before and/or after);
3. They published “work”, conceived only as a publication in a volume (which does not invalidate the fact that they may have had other types of written and/or spoken intervention in newspapers or other media, made translations, etc.). In other words, the criterion of publication in a volume is necessary but not exclusive.

Each of the authors is presented in an “author profile” according to the fields defined in it, and each of their works is presented individually, also according to the fields defined in the “work profile”.

This database is an open and continuous resource to support research, suggesting possibilities of dialogue among researchers. We appeal, therefore, to the collaboration of all those who wish to help to complete it with new authors or to improve what is now presented. Due to the extension of the work of some of the authors, the profiles presented here may be incomplete, as the research team is continuing to develop them. In this case, the indication “under development” will be given in the author’s profile.

The diversity and multiplicity of sources and resources make it unfeasible to present the contents in an entirely uniform way, a fact to which we have resigned after some initial utopia, when we thought it was possible. One of the fields inserted “gender” posed some questions to the team due to the hybrid character of certain works. The identifier [NI] means that it was up to the person making the inventory to decide how to fill it in. We used the field “observations” to explain some of the doubts we had, but also to complete information that could not be filled in anywhere else.

The publishing date of many works was not found, so we considered an “assigned date” based on elements that can either be related to a date written by the author as the end of the book, or the date of entry into the library deposit where it is found, or by indications (not always precise) written in newspapers or critical pieces, or even in other works that make reference to them.

We have chosen to use the APA 6 norms, but here too, the specificity of some situations has obliged us to adapt them so that the information provided is clear and allows for the most detailed consultation possible.

The authorship of the files is indicated at the end of the “Authors’ profile”, with many thanks to all the researchers who agreed to collaborate in this project, to those who participated in its revision and also to the authors or family members who not only made themselves available to complement the information, but also ceded the rights of use of the images appearing on the files.

The initial team that designed and structured the contents of the database was joined by a research scholarship holder and a group of people who made inventories, identified in the “Team” tab.

The tab “Texts” has been created to enable the users of the database to enjoy unpublished or little-known texts by the identified authors. It includes literary productions sent to us by the authors, their families and researchers.

The contact with the research team will be made by filling in a form, hosted in the tab with that title.

The work of surveying the authors who meet the criteria for inclusion in the database was very extensive and constitutes in itself a precious research aid for all those who wish to promote and deepen their knowledge of women writers with published work in the defined timeframe. The tab “Initial survey” is liable to be expanded through the identification of more women writers, which will enrich the fields of study of literature, history and gender studies.

In addition to the two pillars already identified, the project’s implementation dynamics involved other initiatives to publicise the project and create networks with institutions and/or groups of people. Examples include:

– Co-operation with Liceu Camões, Lisbon, supporting the development of work with students and teachers, in order to explore the themes and pedagogy of some of the writers who are part of the project;
– SNOB (bookshop and publisher) meetings held once a month to share knowledge of authors and works;
– Inclusion of researchers from foreign universities, in order to broaden the initial core group and expand knowledge about the project
– Interviews with the media in order to make the scope and objectives of the project known to the general public.

This research, supported by the Gulbenkian Foundation, was initially carried out almost entirely during the pandemic, so the conditions in which it was carried out reflected the difficulties experienced by the research team, namely in consulting works available in different libraries, but also in the limited or impossible face-to-face meetings. It continues with a new dynamic, relying on its core group of researchers, a research grant holder and the collaboration of a team of inventory takers.

The number of female authors that this database has so far is still less than the authors we identified at the first stage of the research and which we continue to identify as it progresses. Despite the constraints, the richness of the collection allows us to reaffirm the need to recover authors and works, to stabilise sources, to urgently make visible a veritable ‘underground world’ in which women writers who published in their time still find themselves, despite the various efforts that have been made recently to give them existence.

 

VAST – Values Across Space and Time consists of a European H2020 project (Grant Agreement No 101004949) that aims to identify (moral) values and investigate the transformation of fundamental European values (including freedom, democracy, equality, Rule of Law, tolerance, dialogue, dignity) across space and time. Based on the analysis of values and the aim of raising awareness of their reinforcement, the project aims to understand how they are perceived by different publics and to contribute to their presence in public discourse. It aims to:

a) investigate existing collections of intangible assets (expressed in different places and at significant moments in European history) and trace and interconnect the values emerging in them, in particular in three areas: theatre (focusing on the ancient Greek drama of the 6th century BC), science (focusing on the Scientific Revolution and natural philosophy documents of the 17th century) and folklore (focusing on folktales/fairy tales of the 19th century);

b) collect and digitize the objects and study how these values (found in the narratives) are communicated implicitly or explicitly to various audiences;

c) collect and digitize the experiences of audiences who are recipients of these messages, such as theatre-goers, museum visitors and pupils/students participating in educational activities.

The project aspires to bring European values to the forefront by using cutting-edge technologies to create a digital platform to facilitate the creation of continuously updated knowledge by combining storytelling with crowdsourcing. Through this platform, the project will help cultural and artistic industries to reuse and repurpose this material by improving their communication approaches and revisit moral values in the context of modern society.

The project integrates 4 post-doc researchers. The team was responsible for the preparation of several reports and the development of textual, historical and cultural analysis methodologies to be used by all project partners. In addition, short stories were collected and selected for further comparative analysis using the annotation tool created by the researchers and applied to various materials. in 2021 and 2022 the team presented papers at international events and submitted scientific papers for publication in leading journals.

Starting in 2019 and ending in 2023, the VAST project is an international consortium between eight partners from five countries: the National Centre of Scientific Research Demokritos (Greece), Università degli Studi di Milano (Italy), National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (Greece), Lisbon NOVA University – NOVA (Portugal), Fairytale Museum (Cyprus), Semantika (Slovenia), Museo Galileo (Italy) and the Athens & Epidaurus Festival (Greece). The Portuguese participation is led by Dr. Sara Silva.

 

The project’s mission is to investigate the configurations of spectrality at the intersection between different representational media. The project emerged from the intersection of two movements: the creation of a project on Art, Media and Spectrality involving several members of the project team presented to the FCT in 2020 and the conception of a seminar of the Masters in Portuguese Studies entitled O Fantasma Inquilino on Portuguese and Brazilian authors. The convergence and heterogeneity of these two research movements led us to create now a broader platform for research on the theme of Spectrality in which Literature and Arts would work in an integrated way.

The objectives are:

– To create conditions so that the development of the different research lines of the project, done with autonomy (in individual research or by small groups), can be shared and discussed by the team through the permanent seminar, which will function as a research laboratory;
– To present the results of the research in small thematic colloquiums, organized on a regular basis;
– To involve junior researchers in the laboratory activities and in discussion groups.

The project team is composed of the researchers Abel Barros Baptista (lead researcher), Clara Rowland, Joana Matos Frias, José Bértolo, Amândio Reis, Humberto Brito, Fernando Cabral Martins, Pedro Sepúlveda, Joana Meirim, Joana Mello e Margarida Medeiros.

Spectrality and the hypothesis of a “spectral turn” have been the object of study over the last decades mainly in film studies, media studies and art theory. However, these explorations are usually developed within specific and isolated fields of study and theoretical frameworks, which limits their scope. The present project starts from the connection between literature and art to be able to work on the spectral question in a broad and transversal way.

 

The project’s mission is to study and disseminate Ruy Cinatti’s work, articulating his ethnographic research, in Portuguese Timor, with the vectors of his literary creation that intersect with his personal experience of the Timorese oral tradition.

The project arises from the discovery of Ruy Cinatti’s unpublished collection by Lúcio Sousa, the researcher responsible for the project, identified during previous research in the field of anthropology/ethnography. The objectives of this project are

1. Identification, transcription and translation into Portuguese of collections made by Ruy Cinatti in Portuguese Timor in the fifties and sixties of the twentieth century;
2. Publication of a book with comments on collections of Kemak and Bunak oral tradition, in Portuguese, by the author, crossing this with his literary production, especially poetry about Timor;
3. Write articles to be submitted to specialised journals;
4. Organise two seminars: one in Dili and one in Lisbon.

The team is composed of researchers from various fields of knowledge, thus allowing for the use of methodologies from the areas of anthropology/ethnography and literature. Archive work, collection of testimonies and ethnographic research will be carried out in East Timor.

The project is differentiated by (1) the unpublished corpus that will have to be transcribed and, in some cases, translated into Portuguese and (2) the inter and multidisciplinary character of the study, crossing ethnography and literature. It is funded by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation under the Gulbenkian Programme of Portuguese Language and Culture until 30 September 2021.

The team consists of: Lúcio Sousa (Lead Researcher – Universidade Aberta, IELT – NOVA FCSH), Isabel Barros Dias (Aberta University, IELT – NOVA FCSH), Paula Mendes Coelho (Aberta University, CEC-FLUL, IELT – NOVA FCSH), Vicente Paulino (Faculty of Education, Arts and Humanities of the Timor Lorosa’ National University, CEMRI – UAb), Irta Araújo (Faculty of Education, Arts and Humanities of the Timor Lorosa’ National University) and Keu Apoema (Federal University of Southern Bahia).

The project has as partners the Centre for Migration Studies and Intercultural Relations (CEMRI – UAb) and the Unit of Production and Dissemination of Knowledge of the Postgraduate and Research Programme of the National University of Timor Lorosae (UNTL).

The project develops a programme for the (re)reading of the references to old Peninsular ballads “romanceiro” (an epic-lyrical genre with medieval origins and European balladry) that are part of the literary works of Portuguese authors of the 15th-17th centuries, as devices for the creation of ideological, poetic and musical effects that are almost unnoticeable to most of the public today, due to the scarce general knowledge of the old romanceiro.

Its objectives are:

1. to promote the examination and expansion of the knowledge about the romanceiro in Portugal in the 15th-17th centuries;
2. to re-launch the study of the interference of romance materials in their new literary contexts and consequently
3. to provide a rereading of the respective framework works, given that the crimped romanceiro verses create constitutive subtexts of these literary pages.

Started in January 2018, the project applies philological, comparative and intertextual framing methods, as well as tools from the Digital Humanities, developing its research across three fundamental vectors:

1. Periodic updating of the database structure, which makes use of open source technologies of international repute;
2. Bibliographical research and critical analysis of the objects of study;
3. Discussion of results and systematization of information in the database implemented for this purpose;
4. Preparation and presentation of results in digital support, material and video, as well as in scientific meetings and advanced training actions (see the already vast production in “Studies”).

It thus provides the currently most complete catalogue of references to romances found in works of Portuguese authorship (Database). Includes the references compiled in “Romances Velhos em Portugal” (Carolina Michaëlis de Vasconcelos, 1907- 1909) revised under the light of current knowledge that benefited from the discovery of new sources of the romanceiro and new perspectives in philology and literary studies in general. It also incorporates the partial contributions that covered part of the romances or framework works already inventoried by the philologist (Asensio, 1957 and 1989; Catalán, 1969 and 1970; Dias, 1974; Ferré, 1982-1983 and 2003; Araújo, 2004a, 2004b, 2011a, 2011b, 2014 and 2015). Finally, it encompasses the results of the team’s examination of editions, codices and other scattered manuscripts that have not yet been reviewed under this critical angle. Due to the digital nature of the inventory, it provides a powerful research tool both in the field of ancient romance studies and in the literature of Portuguese authors of the 15th-17th centuries. Its team is composed of young and more experienced researchers from the fields of literary and music studies.

RELIT-Rom was funded by the 2017 Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation Programme for Advanced Studies in Portuguese Language and Culture (Ref. 207951) and is being supported by the Foundation for Science and Technology through IELT.

 

The Portuguese dialogues project aims at studying and publishing texts produced in dialogue, considered as a genre. Developed by CEIL – Centre for Studies on the Literary Imaginary, currently a research group integrated in IELT, the project was initially designated (2010 to 2013) as “Diálogos Quinhentistas” and was concerned with the publication of texts by Francisco de Melgaço (transl.) (15th century), Francisco de Moraes (1500?-1572?) and João de Barros (1496 -1570).

The broadening of the work to the universe of dialogues in Portuguese, or by Portuguese authors, from before and after the 15th century, was a natural consequence of the goals set by the working group.

The team is now dealing with Diálogos Portugueses from the 15th to the 19th centuries, under the coordination of Irene Freire Nunes, assisted by other team members, within the research group “Interdisciplinary Studies on the Imaginary”. The project has been unfolded into parcelled, thematic projects, arising from the general project. Objectives:

1. To identify and locate Portuguese texts, or texts by Portuguese authors, in dialogue;
2. Publishing dialogue texts;
3. Study the texts and the genre;
4. To preserve and divulge the Portuguese dialogical heritage.

The team organizes its work according to the collection of data in several libraries and the subsequent treatment of the information gathered. It seeks support and establishes contacts and/or partnerships according to the objectives of the project and the material identified and collected. Reorganizes the project’s execution goals according to the resources available.

The Portuguese Dialogues project is different because it is the only one dealing with the subject in Portugal and it allows identifying relevant aspects of the cultural imaginary and social pragmatics over time. The project is funded by IELT – Institute for the Study of Literature and Tradition of the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences of the Lisbon Nova University, by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and by the Portuguese Commission of Military History.

The project began in 2014 and is still active today. The working team includes professors from several Portuguese and Spanish universities and other researchers. They are: Ana Sofia Laranjinha, Carlos Carreto, Elisa Gomes da Torre, Filipe Moreira, Isabel Barros Dias, Isabel Morán Cabanas, Isabel Morujão, Margarida Santos Alpalhão, Maria Teresa Nascimento, Natália Albino Pires, Sofia Vilarigues, Teresa Araújo, Teresa Gonçalves Castro, Maria Barreto Dávila and Eduardo Castro.

Activities already organized and planned for the future: In June 2016 the colloquium “Literatura e Ciência: Diálogos Multidisciplinares” took place at NOVA FCSH, with the support of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, and for October 2018 the colloquium “Literatura e Ciência: Diálogos Multidisciplinares II” is expected to take place at Aberta University.
