Dialogues between Media
Comparative Literature is changing fast with methodologies, topics, and research interests emerging and remerging. The fifth volume of ICLA 2016 proceedings, Dialogues between Media, focuses on the current interest in inter-arts studies, as well as papers on comics studies, further testimony to the fact that comics have truly arrived in mainstream academic discourse. "Adaptation" is a key term for the studies presented in this volume; various articles discuss the adaptation of literary source texts in different target media - cinematic versions, comics adaptations, TV series, theatre, and opera. Essays on the interplay of media beyond adaptation further show many of the strands that are woven into dialogues between media, and thus the expanding range of comparative literature.
Modern Portuguese Poetry: Essays, Poems and Translations
The present volume assembles, for the first time in English, a wide range of poetic voices and critical perspectives that illustrate the vibrancy and richness of contemporary Portuguese poetry.

Antigone's Daughters?
Antigone's Daughters? provides the first detailed discussion in English of six well-known Portuguese women writers, working across a wide range of genres: Florbela Espanca (1894-1930), Irene Lisboa (1892-1958), Agustina Bessa Lu's, (1923- ), Nat_lia Correia (1923-93), HZlia Correia (1949 -) and L'dia Jorge (1946 - ). Together they cover the span of the 20th century and afford historical insights into the complex gender politics of achieving institutional acceptance and validation in the Portuguese national canon at different points in the 20th century. Although a patrilinear evolutionary model visibly structures national literary history in Portugal to the present day, women writers and crit...

Paula Rego's Map of Memory
This title was first published in 2003. The artist Paula Rego was born in Portugal but has lived in Britain since 1951. In this well-illustrated book, Maria Manuel Lisboa explores the background behind Rego's decision to leave the land of her birth and, in doing so, provides fascinating insights into Rego's persistent portrayal of uneasy and predatory relations between men and women. Looking back over the national, religious and sexual politics of Portugal during Rego's childhood under the shadow of the Salazar dictatorship and subsequently, Lisboa locates the origins of the artist's preoccupation with power and powerlessness, violence and abuse within the political and ideological status quo of Portugal, past and present. The author's clear and thoughtful analysis offers an ambitious contribution to the study of patriarchy, Catholicism and Fascism and their expression in the work of this artist.
Poetischer Widerstand im Estado Novo
Der Estado Novo vertrat eine geschichtspolitische Vision von Portugal, der sich eine ganze Generation von SchriftstellerInnen widersetzte. Aufgrund der staatlichen Zensur trug sich die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Regime in literarischen Texten in einer Weise aus, die oft dazu geführt hat, dass diese Texte als unpolitisch und von der historischen Realität des Landes abgewandt wahrgenommen wurden. Auch wenn evident war, dass hier keine regimetreue Literatur entstanden ist, steht in der wissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung mit der portugiesischen Literatur des 20. Jahrhunderts eine philologische Entschlüsselung der Verfahren dieser AutorInnen noch aus. Die Dissertationsschrift von Diana Gomes Ascenso bietet eine Neubewertung des Werks von Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen (1919 - 2004) als politische Poesie des vermeintlich Unpolitischen. In drei Hauptkapiteln werden drei verschiedene Modi der Kritik herausgearbeitet, die verdeutlichen, wie Sophia Andresen die poetische Form als Form geistigen Widerstands in einer bis heute zutiefst beeindruckenden Konsequenz umgesetzt hat.
