Synopsis

Based on the monthly cycle of online ‘conversations’ on Portrait that took place throughout 2021, this ebook brings together conferences given by a group of researchers and specialists, national and international, around the subject of portrait representation in various media , from the most traditional to the most emerging, (re)thinking ideas and practices associated with the Portrait genre, as well as its multiple philosophical, social, cultural and/or political implications. Presenting different approaches from the fields of visual arts and literary arts, according to the scientific background and the areas of work of the guest speakers, this publication — which deliberately keeps a digital record of the conversations that gave rise to it — aims at both challenge borders and commonplaces about genological territories related to the Portrait category and question them from a less academically formatted and restrictive perspective, providing the Portuguese and international scientific community, and all readers interested in this subject, with new critical approaches and methodologies in a transdisciplinary and transnational perspective.
