Gonçalo Cadilhe nos trilhos de Santo António em Portugal: Intimidades de um Olhar em Por Este Reino Acima. No Primeiro Trekking da História de Portugal

A well-known figure on the stage of contemporary Portuguese travel literature with already fifteen published works, Gonçalo Cadilhe focuses on issues of identity, imagology, space, textual and ontological nature, almost always using the format of the journalistic chronicle, among other brief forms. In fact, this is an author whose writing emerges from a work with a structural spatial referentiality in the travelogue, as a look that comes to rest on a physical and human geography. Thus, starting from the work Por este reino acima. No primeiro trekking da História de Portugal (2020), I intend to problematize the author's gaze on the interior of Portugal today, along his walk in the footsteps of young Santo António, aiming to collect, not only the current images of the country, but also to underline his debut through the webs of fictional narrative. Above all, the book focuses on the first trekking of a Portuguese travel writer through national geographic territories and historiographic metafiction, on the recreation of the biography of Santo António on a journey through the textual space where a porous writing arises, betting on the convergence between the real and the fiction or just a “frictional literature” (Ette 2003:31)

Os Lugares na Obra Jornalística e Literária de Luís Fernando: Crónicas e Silêncio na Aldeia

Luís Fernando is a contemporary Angolan author who writes both literary and journalistic work. In both he dedicates particular attention to the relationship established between individuals and their place of resi-dence, their customs and traditions. The goal of this article is to study the way in which literary and jour-nalistic text entangles the tension and cooperation that link these two constructors of human geography, ascertaining if there are substantial differences between the representations of those connections in the two types of writing. Using qualitative methodology, content analysis, it is possible to determine that there are no major differences. The author in fact resorts to common themes and brings forth similar topics in both types of texts.

Informação, Publicidade, Propaganda: Correspondentes estrangeiros, agências noticiosas e a “Grande Guerra de palavras” da primeira metade do século XX

The essay takes as a starting point Goebbels’ speech delivered at the closing session of the Continental Advertising Congress, held in Vienna in June 1938, and explores the transformations that the communicational public space of the first half of the twentieth century underwent following the two world conflicts that erupted then. In the first part, the essay addresses the progressive hybridisation of public discourse at the time, the increasing blurring of information, advertising and propaganda, and the rapid acceleration of the international circulation of communication during the period. In this context, special attention is paid to actors who, though not new to the international political scene – such as foreign correspondents and news agencies –, gained a new and decisive importance throughout the period in question. The second part analyses two case studies involving these actors and their power on the international political scene during World War II. Geographically, the two case studies are centred around an axis that is usually considered peripheral to the war – neutral Portugal – but which appears central and, in a way, paradigmatic to the “Great War of Words” that was also being fought in the international public space.

Refugiados do Holocausto em Portugal: representações da “vida nua” no corpo social português

This article deals with the representations of the passage of Holocaust refugees through Portuguese soil in the trilogy O cavalo espantado (1960) by Alves Redol, Sob céus estranhos (1962) by Ilse Losa and Sob céus estranhos: uma história de exílio (2007) by Daniel Blaufuks. Under three distinct narrative perspectives - that of “Just among the Nations”, that of the refugee himself and that of the “post-memory’s” heir (Hirsch 1992-1993) - these authors portray 1997) in the Portuguese social body. In his condition as an outlaw, the refugee becomes a privileged figure to question the “fiction originating from sovereignty” (Agamben 2002: 32). We also intend to analyze how the figure of the refugee raises reflections on the Portuguese identity, through two types of images: the “ideological” and the “utopian” (Moura 1998).

De Qué Hablamos Cuando Hablamos de Crónica Contemporánea en América Latina

The field of contemporary chronicle in Latin America is hegemonized by the so-called "Narrative Journalism" that aims to narrate the present on the basis of previous journalistic investigations. In a different position and without grouping under any denomination, a series of writers dedicated to the short chronicle present a point of convergence in their affiliation to the modernist chronicle. The coexistence of both positions presents disputes in relation to themes, approaches, narrative procedures and author positions, in other words, with the modern cultural and literary tradition. The binomial literature / journalism, nodal for the genre, from these bids is located in the center of the scene. That is why, in this article, we intend to illuminate the issue of self-denomination, the conception of the literary work and language.

Entre a Literatura e o Jornalismo: Itinerários do Escritor Baiano Anísio Melhor (1885-1955)

Anísio Melhor was born in the city of Nazaré, located in the Recôncavo da Bahia, on May 7, 1885. From reading his work, the most important source of information found about the writer, it is clear that journalism is one with his life. Self-taught, it was in the newspapers that he directed and collaborated that he became a poet, novelist, short-story writer, literary critic, folklorist and chronicler. Among the literary genres he published in periodicals, chronicles are the texts that most show his modus scribendi, as well as pointing out clues to his intellectual path and his evolution as a writer. In some of his texts, he discusses the journalist's solitary work, combining his experiences as a reader of the most varied newspapers and, especially, as a journalist in his small town. According to the writer, the provincial newspaper values every reader in its small town, knows its audience very closely, writes down the events day by day: now it is the chronicle of social nature, now it is the commentary on the deaths, now it is telluric poetry, now it is the birth of another child, now it is the chapter of another novel or novella. Thus, in the newspaper he founded and directed for a few decades, O Conservador (1912-1945), Melhor every day (re)constructed the history of his people, recording their traditions, stories and memories. The researches carried out in literary archives for the composition of this article contributed to revive the memory of this writer and to divulge his literary production and his work as a journalist.

O cavo amor e seus ruídos

Study about the relationship of "deviant mastery" between the works of poetry by Carlos Drummond de Andrade and Max Martins. Therefore, it comprehends some emblematic lines of force in Drummond's poetry in convergence and metamorphosis in Max's poetry, in the late 1940s and early 1950s. According to Benedito Nunes, in the essay "Max Martins, Mestre-Aprendiz" (2001), Drummond's poetry was crucial in the formation of Max's poetry. It is dominant in the set of cycles and in the discontinuous movement of Max's work, how Benedito Nunes understands the succession of books, love as an erotic-erosive procedure, a fundamental topical of his learning of unlearning in relation to Drummond's poetry.
