No âmbito do apoio da Bolsa Bilateral Research Fund (PARSUK/FCT), convidamos doutorandos e investigadores em início de carreira com pesquisa sobre teatro, performance e disciplinas afins a juntarem-se a nós para este workshop nos dias 15 e 16 de Novembro, das 10h às 17h, no Colégio Almada Negreiros, UNL, Lisboa.
Coordenação: Ana Pais (UNL) e Martin Welton (QMUL), com Rita Barreira (UNL) e Sebastian Mylly (QMUL)
Não procuramos apresentações de papers, mas uma discussão criativa e colectiva com o objectivo de mapear as políticas e as estéticas das atmosferas afectivas do “estado da nação”, isto é, do momento histórico e cultural que atravessamos.
Quais os sentimentos públicos dominantes hoje? Qual o ruído de fundo afectivo a que se deixou de dar atenção e que interfere, de forma naturalizada, com o nosso quotidiano?
Workshop gratuito mediante inscrição até dia 8 de Novembro (número limitado de vagas).
Enviar os seguintes elementos para o email stateofthenation24@gmail.com:
- Nome
- Instituição
- Área de investigação principal
- Breve parágrafo com descrição sobre como a sua pesquisa se relaciona com o tema do workshop em relação às artes performativas

EN – OPEN CALLS:
In English, the ‘state of the nation’ refers to both the political order and to collective national affects; the ‘state of the nation play’ has long been an aesthetic register of these correlative concerns. Being ‘in a state’ refers jointly to one’s geographical, emotional and climatic conditions.
Across the two workshops, we will seek to develop tools, materials, and resources that can help us in the analysis of artistic works that either a) diagnose populist atmospheres and related public emotions to foster debate about these elusive influences that shape our existence, or b) explore unconventional means with which to restage, frame or embody these feelings. We will seek to provide tools for raising awareness of affective conditionings of freedom, and in particular, on the exercise of free will in a democratic society.
We invite doctoral and early-career researchers in theatre, performance and related disciplines to join us for one (or both) of two two-day research workshops in Lisbon— 15-16 Nov. We are not seeking papers, but participation in creative discussions that will seek to map or delineate the politics and aesthetics of the affective atmospheres of the ‘state of the nation’.
