AYNI | Rita Ferreira: Casa de Chá (Tea House) 11.-27.1. 2024 Brotéria
The opening of Ayni: Casa de Chá | Tea House exhibition will take place at Brotéria on the 11th January, 2024, from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
The exhibition which can be visited during the working hours of Brotéria from 11th to 27th of January, 2024, inaugurates the Ayni, theorems of reciprocity project, which is a set of five project rooms at Brotéria, Antecâmara, HANGAR and Universidade Católica Portuguesa that will feature works by Rita Ferreira, Igor Jesus, LANDRA – Sara Rodrigues and Rodrigo Camacho, The Third Thing – Nithya Iyer and Vlad Mizikov, and Jabulani Maseko.
In Ayni: Casa de Chá | Tea House, artist Rita Ferreira proposes to engage with the aesthetic and functional dimensions of Broteria’s Reading Room, as well as explore the tension between the notions of originality and reproduction. The artist’s painting lies on the surface of a large table, beneath a layer of protective glass. This translucent horizontal surface opens a window into the past and functions as a mirror of the present, inviting the inhabitants of the space to take notice and act upon the artwork. Here, Ferreira’s archive – meaningful or trivial forms and objects collected over time – undergoes a process of abstraction that seeks to fixate the fluid and destabilize the still.
Rita Ferreira was born in Obidos in 1991 and is currently residing and working in Lisbon. She obtained a BA in Painting at the Lisbon School of Fine Arts (University of Lisbon). In 2023, Rita Ferreira was one of the finalists of the Amadeo Souza-Cardoso Prize and was also one of the finalists in 2022 of the EDP New Artists Prize.
Curated by students of the MA and PhD programmes in Cultural Studies, The Lisbon Consortium, Universidade Católica Portuguesa, in the framework of the seminar in Curatorship, coordinated by Luísa Santos. Support: República Portuguesa – Cultura | DGARTES – Direção-Geral das Artes.

Cfp: XIV Lisbon Summer School for the Study of Culture – Culture at War
CULTURE AT WAR
Lisbon, June 24 – 29, 2024
Deadline for submissions: February 29, 2024
We are living in times of war. Now, more than ever, war occupies a central role in both national and international affairs and pervades various spheres of our societies and cultures.
The 21st century has been marked by violence of different varieties and levels. Having started with a massive terrorist event, the attacks of September 11, 2001, the last two decades have witnessed many examples of aggression that have come to dominate both the media and public discussion. Acts of terrorism of various kinds, revolutions and wars, with the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East among the most recent, are illustrative of contemporary warfare, its characteristics, and challenges. While new military technology such as high-tech weapons and attack drones promote more remote, noncontact operations, the ever-present media strive for immediacy and proximity and thus contribute to a new and distinctive experience of war. Their continuous, play-by-play coverage promotes the illusion of a 360º view and allows audiences to follow the events in near-real time. However, their omnipresence has also turned them into desirable instruments of warfare. They not only inform about the war but also have the ability to mobilize for/against it. Furthermore, the rise of social media and its pivotal role in both documenting conflicts and generating and disseminating misinformation cannot be disregarded. As military conflicts unfold, a parallel war is also fought between communication mechanisms. It can even be argued, with Paul Virilio (War and Cinema, 1989), that war, or its experience, is becoming increasingly a product of visual media construction.
Wars are not circumscribed to military conflicts, though. Contention has become an intrinsic part of everyday life, leading to social and cultural movements that call out misguided practices, injustices, and violations of basic laws and rights. On the one hand, bottom-up mobilizations such as #MeToo, the gilets jaunes, or Fridays for Future, reveal a world in crisis, responding to systemic violence with dissent. On the other hand, the dismantling of structures of oppression by means of decolonizing processes clashes with the incapacity to effectively deal with past wrongdoings and the tendency to forget or avoid uncomfortable discussions. These movements may, at times, also represent a dynamic of destruction based on the collective readiness to criticize, denounce, hold accountable, and ultimately cancel what or who is considered to have behaved in an unacceptable way.
This culture of war, of diverging opinions and interests, extends also to the relationship between man and nature, and more specifically the ongoing environmental emergency. One rhetorical device used to stress the escalating effects of climate change is precisely the war metaphor (employed also in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic). The use of military language and the idea of a war against climate change, widely used in public speeches and in the media, is meant to spark a fighting spirit and incite action. There is, however, the risk of having the opposite effect if the enemy remains abstract, the message is not made understandable, and governments and individuals fail to take responsibility for the current situation.
The XIV Lisbon Summer School for the Study of Culture is dedicated to the study of the relationship between culture and war. Papers are welcome on the following topics, amongst others:
- Culture and conflict
- Ancient and modern warfare
- Culture in modern warfare
- War and the creation of modernity

The Inauguration of Deaf Studies Lab and the launch of Diffractions on Deaf Culture
In 4 December, 2023, the CECC organized an informative meeting on its new Deaf Studies Lab that is being developed by The Lisbon Consortium alumna Cristina Gil (CECC-UCP), Joana Pereira (CECC-UCP), Helena Carmo (CIIS-UCP) and Paulo Vaz de Carvalho (CIIS-UCP).
The Deaf Studies Lab results from the work that has been pursued by the first Portuguese researchers with specific, graduated academic training in the field of Deaf Culture, and is transversal to the several research groups and scientific areas to which CECC, the Research Centre for Communication and Culture from Universidade Católica Portuguesa, is dedicated to.
At the same occasion, the latest issue of Diffractions, Deaf Culture, was launched.
Congratulations to the whole team for the the pioneering work in Portugal! -

LX Consortium Visit to Culturgest
The Lisbon Consortium organized a visit to the reserves of the Caixa Geral de Depósitos art collection and a guided tour to the exhibition “Fantasma Gaiata” / “Playful Ghost” @culturgest on 24 November, 2023.
Conceived as part of the celebration of Culturgest’s thirtieth anniversary, the exhibition Fantasma Gaiata proposes two distinct approaches to Caixa Geral de Depósitos’ contemporary art collection. Like the two hemispheres of a brain, each approach specialises in certain functions and skills. Fantasma (Ghost) is dedicated to one of sculpture’s great ambitions: to erect bodies that signify and endure, that defy time, death and oblivion. If the artist’s body is permanently invoked as author, manufacturer, mirror or spectre, the visitor’s is summoned as measure, vehicle, witness – the place of all meaning. For its part, Gaiata (Playful) is an amusement park, a playground inhabited by fleeting conversations, alliances and challenges. Some groups of works gather around common interests, while others provoke and react to each other, deeply invested in the game but unaware of the results.

XIII Lisbon Summer School for the Study of Culture – FUTURE/FUTURES – extended deadline
XIII Lisbon Summer School for the Study of Culture
FUTURE/FUTURES
Lisbon, July 3 – July 8, 2023
[extended] Deadline for submissions:
February 28March 17, 2023For centuries thinking about the future was basically an optimist and progress driven endeavor, aimed at advancing towards the best of possible worlds through the improvement of science and technology.
Throughout the 20th century, euphoria about progress slowly but steadily turned into discomfort, due to the growing awareness about scientific development’s immense capability to cause pain and infortune. The shortcomings and aporias of the present have strangely produced a new retrotopia, focused on reinventing the past and less on clearly conceiving of the future-to-be. This is caused by the globalization of indifference, the crisis of democratic states, the deepening of cultural and religious wars and the rising visibility of extreme violence, linked to terrorism and war. We are likewise faced with a resource crisis and an obvious planetary exhaustion, just as the fourth technological revolution forces us to question the future of work and hence of the very definition of the human as a homo laborans.
In view of the different rhythms, contexts and directions of our global communities, given the clear difference of access to basic commodities and even to the social and political right to have rights, given the uneven capability of individuals throughout the globe to shape the future to come, it is clear that future must be graphed in the plural, as futures that are culturally situated in distinct global realities. In addition, ‘futures’ has become a sort of a floating signifier swaying from prospective to finance, from science fiction to organizational theory, from anthropology to psychoanalysis.
The XIII Lisbon Summer School for the Study of Culture is dedicated to the study of the representation of the future(s) as trope and idea. Papers are welcome on the following topics, amongst others:
- Future or futures
- Culture(s) of the future; culture(s) in the future
- Imagining the future: representations in literature, cinema and the arts
- Space and/in time
- Science and technology: potential and risks for life in the future
- Innovative tools, materials, systems and techniques
- Cyberfutures
- Memory and trauma: between past and future
- (De)Colonizing the future
- The future(s) of the Other
- Speculation, prediction, anticipation and the production of possible futures
- Futurist thought: ‘new’/’neo’, ‘re’
- Dance of prefixes: from u- and dys-topia to retro-topia
- The protractive or transformative quality of the future
- The future of woke culture
- Fear of the future and the fear of no future
- Crisis, disaster, conflict, and the disruption of the future
- Nostalgia, hope, and the promise of a brighter future
- A more than human future: human, posthuman, nonhuman and other possibilities
We encourage proposals coming from the fields of culture studies, film and the visual arts, literary and translation studies, history, anthropology, media and psychology, among others.

Proposals should be sent to lxsummerschool@gmail.com no later than
February 28March 17, 2023 and include paper title, abstract in English (max. 200 words), name, e-mail address, institutional affiliation and a brief bio (max. 100 words) mentioning ongoing research.Applicants will be informed of the result of their submissions by March 31, 2023.

CfP: Digital Citizenship and Contemporary Cultures
April 27 and 28, 2023 | University of Algarve
(deadline for proposals: January 30, 2023)
The II congress of the Rede Nacional de Estudos Culturais invites the Portuguese and the international scientific community to submit papers on Digital Citizenship and Contemporary Cultures.
Mediated by technology, contemporary society offers an unprecedented environment for people to express themselves, to come together and to participate, opening up new opportunities to improve access and inclusion, which underpin the culture of democracy. The digital environment facilitates democratic processes and practices, including the dissemination and mediation of information, and it constitutes an important platform for intercultural dialogue through social networks. However, in addition to these new opportunities, citizens also must face many challenges resulting from the exercise of their rights and duties of social, cultural, economic and political participation.
Digital citizenship thus represents a new dimension related to the knowledge, values, attitudes and skills that citizens need in order to exercise and stand up for their democratic rights and responsibilities, and to promote and protect human rights, democracy and the rule of law.
In this context, different cultures cross, intersect and are fostered in the contemporary world, which we intend to discuss in this congress.
Papers on the following topics are welcomed:
- Cultural resistance
- Cancel culture
- Human rights
- Minority and majority cultures
- Fan culture
- Art, culture and creation processes
- Creation and education processes
- Racism and discrimination
- Migrations, diasporas and xenophobia
- Participatory culture, disinformation and hate speech
- Media and information literacy
- Gender relations
- Surveillance culture and algorithms
- Health, wellness and sustainability
- Artivism
GUIDELINES FOR COMMUNICATION PROPOSALS
- We invite submissions in Portuguese, Spanish and English, authored by teachers, undergraduate, masters and doctoral students, education professionals, and professionals from sectors such as communication, arts and culture.
- Expanded abstracts must have 3,000 to 4,000 characters with spaces (including keywords and references) and must be sent in the following template.
