English Studies: Culture (RG 2)

Principal Investigators: Maria Teresa Barbieri de Ataíde Malafaia e Ana Cristina Ferreira Mendes

Number of researchers: 16 - Integrated members (with PhD): 7 / PhD students: 5 / Other researchers: 4

The team of researchers that has been commonly known as “Research Group 2”, ever since the beginning of ULICES, has always laid special emphasis on cultural studies. At a time when Literature and Linguistics seemed to monopolise the territory formerly classified under the heading of Philology, the study of “Culture” began to emerge as a comparatively new field of analysis and very quickly moved into interdisciplinary areas that have served to enrich this group’s research themes.

Principal Investigator: Alexandra Assis Rosa

Number of researchers: 13 - Integrated members (with PhD): 6 / PhD students: 4 / Other researchers: 3

This Research Group focuses on Reception and Translation Studies in Portugal and it is organized into four main areas. Firstly, it has contributed to the mapping of literary translation in Portugal by means of the project “Intercultural Literature in Portugal (1930-2000): A Critical Bibliography” (in partnership with CECC-UCP) and an exploratory project focusing on the study of indirect or mediated translation.  Secondly, it encompasses and offers supervision for individual and group research projects on translational norms regarding linguistic variation in literary and audiovisual texts, and on the role played by translation in importing literary and non-literary genres, especially within the current framework of the hegemony of English. Thirdly, it comprises a project related to the dissemination in Portuguese of contemporary short stories in English. Finally, it also encompasses two outreach initiatives with the aim of  disseminating research in Reception and Translation Studies, by promoting monthly talks on Translation Studies (ETC… Estudos de Tradução à Conversa, Website: : http://ww.etc.ulices.org) as well as annual conferences (JET, Jornadas de Estudos de Tradução, Website: http://www.etc.ulices.org/jet) and by fostering national and international partnerships.
