No presente trabalho, pretende-se realizar uma investigação acerca das relações entre melancolia, enunciação e literatura, especificamente, em três grandes nomes da poesia contemporânea em língua portuguesa: Noémia de Sousa (Moçambique), Florbela Espanca (Portugal) e Ana Cristina Cesar (Brasil). Para tanto, foram selecionados textos em que se verifica a recorrência da dicção melancólica como traço constituinte da lírica de cada uma das poetisas. Pretende-se, com tal análise, verificar que a constituição de uma poética da melancolia nessas autoras, resguardados os devidos panoramas histórico-culturais, instaura-se no limiar entre os questionamentos existenciais do indivíduo e a crítica aos modelos institucionais e às questões políticas e sociais vigentes, estabelecendo um processo que reverbera uma melancolia coletiva na voz do eu-lírico.

This articles presents aspects observed in poetry compositions of the Galician poet Silvia Penas and the performances of the poetic project Cinta Adhesiva. We use concepts of performance by Zumthor and terminology by Bakhtin, to discuss ideological aspects of poetry. Cinta Adhesiva politicizes its work and its poetics by way of using the Galician language and by incorporating feminist perspectives, thus contributing to cultural resistance and transformation through art.

A visibilidade da poesia de cordel esteve, tradicionalmente, associada às imagens masculinas, dotadas de discursos conservadores. O que não significa que as mulheres estavam ausentes deste universo literário, mas seus trabalhos não alcançavam a mesma projeção daqueles produzidos pelos homens. Apesar de, atualmente, termos proposto reflexões acerca da representatividade das mulheres em eventos, feiras, publicações e o reconhecimento da importância das poesias feitas por mulheres, ainda há constantes referências às mulheres de forma estigmatizada nos folhetos – nos versos, nas capas, nas palestras…

Graffuturism ist mittlerweile ein bekannter Begriff in der weltweiten Graffiti und Street-Art-Szene. Die Gruppe um den US-amerikanischen Graffitikünstler POESIA wurde im Februar 2010 in San Francisco gegründet und definiert sich über abstrakte Malereien mit der Spraydose, Mural Art oder Installationen wie beispielsweise die von Clemens Behr. "We use the word group as we don’t wish to define Graffuturism as a movement as we are a part of it. I think if it is defined as a movement it should come from outside sources. We leave it to others to label the semantics of what we are doing“ (POESIA) Der Name Graffuturism steht für die Weiterentwicklung von Aerosol und Graffiti Art, weg von Stylewriting und klassischen Graffiti der 70er und 80er Jahre der USA. Diese Gruppe von Graffitikünstlern geht einen eigenen Weg und hat noch viel vor. Bisher wurde das GRAFFUTURISM Projekt nur selten kompakt und in allen Facetten vorgestellt. Bisher im Rahmen von einigen wenigen Gruppenausstellungen. Im April 2013 hat die OPEN SPACE Galerie Paris 21 Künstler aus der Gruppe eingeladen um neue Arbeiten vorzustellen. "Its a surreal feeling sometimes when so many great artists you follow from afar are all together in one room appreciating each others work in real time. This is the real power of the group and what has been built. Graffuturism is an international phenomenon, one that has no home base or country. Because of this, these exhibitions are important. They allow us to meet each other shake hands, have a beer, and paint together. Each time we meet someone new, artists get to collaborate at times on walls. Things organically take shape. Paris was no exception, a trip filled with more unforgettable memories and another step on the road to our future." Wir haben die Gruppe in Paris besucht, mit Gilbert, Pener und dem Gründer Poesia kurz sprechen können. Samantha von der OPEN SPACE Galerie Paris stellt GRAFFUTURISM in unserer neuen 5 MINUTES Episode einleitend vor. Eine interessante Sicht auf die Dinge und mal wieder viel zu wenig Zeit um dieses schöne Projekt umfassend vorzustellen. Daher empfehlen wir einen Besuch der Website graffuturism.com. Dort finden sich Informationen und Bildmaterial zu allen Künstlern der Gruppe soowie aktuelle Informationen zu laufenden Projekten und Ausstellungen! Le Graffuturism est un mouvement protéiforme qui marque la transition vers un nouveau type d’art. Tout en faisant partie intégrante du graffiti, le Graffuturism évolue vers des œuvres plus abstraites et plus contemporaines : c’est la révolution du graffiti. Le Graffuturism est devenu une notion connue dans le milieu du graffiti et de la scène Street Art internationale. Le terme a été inventé par l'artiste Poesia, en février 2010 à San Francisco afin de définir le travail d'un groupement d'artistes s'étant émancipé du graffiti traditionnel- lettrage, personnage. Le Graffuturism se caractérise par des formes abstraites, géométriques ou figuratives faites à l’aérosol, en peintures murales, ou dans des installations comme celles de Clemens Behr. Pour la première fois, les différentes facettes du mouvement sont présentées dans une exposition collective, à travers la mise en lumière de 20 artistes français et internationaux, à la galerie Openspace à Paris.

Reconheço na literatura e nos estudos literários um lugar central na História e na evolução do ser humano e da sociedade, e este livro, dividido em duas secções (Poesia e Ficção), é o reflexo disso mesmo; reflexo, também, de obras teóricas que, independentemente dos seus princípios de base (mais biografistas, psicologistas ou socioculturais, mais formalistas e estruturalistas, mais de estilística e retórica, etc., ou mais de síntese entre as várias orientações), têm sido decisivas para a constituição da crítica literária moderna e do seu propósito de determinação, na medida do possível, dos sentidos e valores de um texto literário ou de um sistema de obras literárias.

Emisión del programa Metrópolis titulado South Graff. Pintando la voz del barrio.

What is the role of art in the reinforcement or rejection of current models of public space management in our cities? To answer this question, we must attend to the ties of all artwork with public institutions, and whether or not it questions the dominant order. In this article, I will focus on the works of the Ana Botella Crew, a group of artists from Madrid, as an example of “artivism” that challenges the City Council’s management of public spaces in Madrid. My aim is to explore how useful internet tools can be to articulate artistic interventions that challenge the hegemonic uses of public space, in what Sassen has called the global city.

In this article we try to show how the work of the Portuguese writerLiberto Cruz establishes a compromise between the poem as text freeof any ideological imposition and the poem as social and politicalaction; between the internal and personal experience of the authorand his commitment to the history of the country; between the selfsufficiency of the poem and its links to the larger world; betweencommunication and elevation; between the work’s expansion ofimage and semantics and the communication of feelings, emotionsand ideas; and between the textual “I” and the biographical “I”.

Poeta, romancista, cronista, dramaturgo e autor de livros destinados ao público infantil e juvenil, Valter Hugo Mãe (Saurimo, Angola, 1971) é um dos escritores mais importantes do atual panorama literário português. A sua obra, lida em Portugal e no estrangeiro, reconhecida pela crítica especializada mas ainda não suficientemente estudada, solicita cada vez mais, pela sua riqueza e complexidade, um estudo de conjunto. Com este livro, que reúne trinta e oito ensaios de estudiosos da literatura portuguesa, proponho-me contribuir para a divulgação e o conhecimento de uma obra que, já consideravelmente extensa, se distribui por diversos géneros do discurso e alcança por isso um público amplo e diversificado.

A poesia oral não pode ser compreendida fora da estrutura social em que vive, nem o funcionamento da comunidade pode ser integralmente apreendido sem um conhecimento da sua poesia de transmissão oral. Por isso, neste estudo, influenciado pelo pensamento de José de Almeida Pavão Júnior e Paul Zumthor, procuramos demonstrar que uma abordagem séria da poesia oral não pode fixar-se unicamente no âmbito do literário, nem apenas nos seus aspectos culturais, antropológicos e sociológicos. A poesia oral, como as tradições em geral, só existe porque cumpre funções. Refletir sobre este aspecto é também pensar sobre o contexto social e cultural da performance literária, a idiossincrasia dos poetas-intérpretes e do grupo social, as diferentes espécies, a linguagem e o estilo, as circunstâncias da composição, da transmissão e da recepção dos textos.

This article addresses the notion of the socially engaged visual arts. The first part explores some fundamental historical periods to help understand this practice, from the Greek concept of teknè until the present time. Then, the idea of a machine for the emancipation of creativity is explained, as well as its operation in two neighborhoods of the Portuguese city of Amadora. Finally, as a result of this immaterial machine, the focus turns to a detailed description of an archive of audiovisual elements that represents each activity undertaken within the project.

This article focuses on the possibilities of using the audio walk as a method for artistic research. First, the decisive characteristics of the format will be outlined, followed by a detailed description of an example case: my artistic research project that focuses on the subject of female migration. Several elements of the audio walk were used in a series of exercises with a group of recently migrated women, with the intention of investigating how the perception of the city is determined by their specific experience. This example case will be used as a means of pointing out several possibilities and opening up a space to think of the audio walk as a way of presenting a work but also as a way of generating knowledge as well.

Nowadays, walking around any city is a guarantee of seeing graffiti, while the public transportation are still a good canvas for writers. It is a well-established social phenomenon and has catch the attention of ethnographers, academic artists and other scholars that have entered the worlds of graffiti writers to explain their origins, trajectories, motivations, their identity construction, their conception of the self and their role and relation with society at large. However, still there is no synthetic effort of categorisation that provides understandable and communicable approaches to graffiti in the real world. From some sectors graffiti is still something to “deal with”. Generally speaking, authorities and dutyholders consider graffiti as threat a security and safety issue, turning it into something that needs to be addressed. For social workers, for instance, graffiti can be a means of communication with certain youth sectors or even a tool for social cohesion generation. Departing from this perspective, Graffolution was designed: an EC funded project for generating awareness and advance in the provision of best practices for tackling graffiti in Austria, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom. The first rule encountered is no-one-size-fits-all and referring to graffiti and graffiti writers, this requires a complex understanding of the phenomenon, their trajectories as well as individual and collective dispositions. The aim of this paper is to provide a consistent typology of graffiti writers, offering a comprehensive picture of whose are the hands behind the graffiti cans. This serves a double level purpose: advancing at the theoretical level putting forward the sociocultural approaches to careers and social backgrounds provided by ethnographic approaches, as well as capturing the complexity of the phenomenon to serve as an operative conceptual basis for practitioners, professionals and decision makers. In doing so, the analysis is made on the transcripts obtained for 22 semi-structured interviews, carried out in the four participating countries. The transcripts have been analysed according to the “persona” methodology, which constitutes a systematic and novel approach and a qualitative technique for clustering information. As a result, three main categories have been defined according to important ambitions, challenges and stages of typical ‘journeys’ or ‘pathways’ of actors. These findings contribute to form a basis of a) highlight the misconceptions around graffiti as a petty crime, and b) offer a guide to understand graffiti writers under a socio-cultural perspective.

Recently there has been a resurgence of murals in several European and American cities. Street art visual practices have privileged murals as one of the most suitable formats to address public spaces. Despite the increasing recognition and significance of murals for the visual culture of these cities, this contemporary urban art practice has not received much attention from recent literature. This paper provides a literature review on contemporary murals, giving an account of their popularity, their relation to location-specificity and global presence, as well as the means of dissemination of such art expression. The study will then focus on a set of case studies in Lisbon, regarding the paradigmatic shift from sculpture commissioning to mural commissioning within Portuguese Brazilian cultural relationships. The works of OSGEMEOS, Bicicleta sem Freio and Nunca will be discussed in this framework, questioning what the contributions of contemporary mural works might be for the public spaces of the city.

This article sets out to show how a sociological research project on the production of street art in Lisbon was built, from the construction of an object of research to the development of a methodological approach that enabled the collection of a diverse set of expressive data. The notion of 'route' serves not only as a valuable instrument of research in the first stages of an investigation in urban sociology, but also as a powerful visual depiction of the development of a specific methodology and the set of techniques adopted. The diverse set of interrogations about the object that stem from these incursions, as well as the specific urban context at hand, allowed the researcher to conceptualize street art as a component of contemporary urban space and as a visual means to reveal social dynamics between the several actors involved in its production, and the city itself. Therefore, in this paper it is briefly shown how this object is theoretically framed, namely in what concerns the street artists and the way they build an artistic path and attribute meaning to the act of intervening artistically in the streets of the city, and how this connects with the worlds of contemporary art and the several contexts of production of street art; the contexts in which street art is currently created in Lisbon, from individual initiatives to the actions of associations or collectives, and the municipality; and the way in which the city, through its institutional powers, can instrumentalize street art as a way of creating 'images of the city', and how this can be explored in terms of tourism and the marketing of cities, and the conflict or opportunities that these processes reveal for the actors involved.

Desde que Serge Doubrovsky definiu na súa novela de 1977, Fils, a categoría “autoficción” até a súa recuperación serodia desde o ámbito da narrativa –revisada na península por teóricos como J. M. Pozuelo Yvancos ou Manuel Alberca–, son múltiplas as aplicacións e reflexións arredor desa modalidade pretendidamente transxenérica. Certas modulacións presentes no discurso poético, como a aparición do nome da autora ou un entretecido poemático de datos procedentes da súa biografía, permiten trasladar esa tensión entre o biográfico e o ficcional aos textos.

En 1990, Llorenç Barber explicaba nun programa de televisión, Sitio Distinto, como todos os seres humanos levamos un campanario na nosa memoria. O conxunto de badaladas que se produce no noso sistema neuronal e social fai que a vida teña sentido, que teña musicalidade. Porén, o conxunto de badaladas poden derivar nun ruído que deriva en confusión. Isto mesmo é extensible na hora de realizar exercicios memorísticos. Ás veces é o ruído o que non nos permite chegar a un produto que non figura no canon ou tamén nos imposibilita a manexar coa maior autonomía conceptos, ideas ou textos dende os postulados que os orixinan. Isto último é o que pretendemos acometer neste artigo. Escollemos facer memoria dun pasado moi próximo, pero á vez moi afastado por descoñecemento. Para tal finalidade, focalizamos un produto pluridisciplinario: o programa Sitio Distinto, dirixido por Antón Reixa e emitido pola Televisión de Galicia (TVG) en 1990. Con el, contemplamos atinxir dous obxectivos. O primeiro é o de describir e dar a coñecer un produto cultural que define un habitus (Bourdieu, 1992) que se desenvolveu na praxe artística do campo entre a Transición política do franquismo á democracia e o seu asentamento nos anos oitenta.

Der vormalige Young British Artist Damien Hirst und der Street Artist Banksy sind zwei der bekanntesten Vertreter der britischen Gegenwartskunst - ihre Werke im Spannungsfeld von Kunst, Konsum und Popkultur gehören zu den meistbeachtetsten unserer Zeit. Eine systematische Aufarbeitung dieser künstlerischen Positionen und ihrer Bezüge zur Konsumkultur unserer Gegenwart hat jedoch lange auf sich warten lassen. Ulrich Blanché schließt diese Lücke: Er untersucht die Werke der Künstler vor dem Hintergrund der Londoner Kunstszene seit 1980, zeigt Verbindungen zu Duchamp, Warhol oder auch Koons auf und reflektiert die Rolle des Rezipienten, die Bedeutung der »Location« und insbesondere die Bezüge zwischen Kunst, Konsum und Werbung in diesen Werken.
