Archival images of the Estado Novo in Portuguese film: a gendered perspective i...
Pereira, Margarida EstevesThis chapter analyses how Portuguese films use archival footage to critically reassess the Salazar dictatorship and its patriarchal foundations, focusing on Brandos Costumes (1975) and later documentaries produced decades after the Carnation Revolution. Although begun before 1974, Brandos Costumes was completed after the Revolution, enabling the inclusion of previously restricted regime images. The chapter argu...
Cinema, mulheres e memória cultural: o Estado Novo nos documentários Natal 71 e...
Pereira, Margarida EstevesEste capítulo aborda questão da memória cultural através do cinema, com um enfoque sobre Portugal e o Estado Novo. Pretende perceber de que modo algum cinema documental contemporâneo feito por mulheres tem tentado resgatar a memória do período do Estado Novo de forma crítica. A questão é tratada tendo em atenção questões como a memória cultural/ coletiva (Assmann, 2010; Erll, 2010) e o uso do arquivo no cinema ...
‘Telling stories about stories’: embedded stories, wonder tales, and women stor...
Pereira, Margarida EstevesIn this chapter, I intend to focus on the fairy tales and children’s stories written by A. S. Byatt as metaphorical topoi that lend additional meanings to the narratives in which they are embedded. On the other hand, I want to focus on the particular female characters who are writers, or storytellers, and whose stories become part of the narrative. From Olive Wellwood (in The Children’s Book) to Christabel LaMo...

Transnational adaptations: the nineteenth-century novel revisited through a tra...
Pereira, Margarida EstevesThis article aims to address issues of adaptation from the point of view of transcultural and transhistorical film adaptations of classic nineteenth-century realist novels. I propose to discuss a number of these adaptations, taking into account production aspects as well as stylistic elements that enhance the trans national/global angle of the films. There are many examples of these, including the popular Bride...
O filme biográfico e a adaptação: representações de escritores em An Angel at M...
Pereira, Margarida EstevesO filme biográfico constitui um estudo de caso muito particular no que diz respeito a questões de adaptação cinematográfica. Especialmente, no que diz respeito às biografias de escritores, levanta questões interessantes de autoria, no sentido em que, mesmo no caso em que são abertamente exibidas as fontes da adaptação (biografias, diários ou memórias), o filme propõe uma visão sobre os autores que apresenta/ re...
Victorian fiction on the global screen. The case of Michael Winterbottom’s Thom...
Pereira, Margarida EstevesThis essay focuses on two films by British director Michael Winterbottom, The Claim (2000) and Trishna (2011), which, notwithstanding the titles, are both based on Thomas Hardy’s novels: the first, is based on Hardy’s The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886) and the second on Tess of the d’Urbervilles (1891). The main interest of focusing on these two films is related to the fact that they adapt Thomas Hardy’s stories ...
Portuguese women filmmakers and the Estado Novo. From invisibility to cultural ...
Pereira, Margarida EstevesThis paper aims to offer a general perspective ofthe presence (or, rather, absence) of female filmmakers during the Estado Novoperiod. If, on the one hand, the situation of the Portuguese filmmakers must be framed within the context of the regime’s ideology with regard to women (Cova &Pinto 2002), on the other hand, we cannot ignore the wider context of the presence/absence of women filmmakers in cinema dur...
