Gabriela Gândara Terenas

Gabriela Gândara Terenas is a Full Professor, the Executive Coordinator of the Department of Modern Languages, Cultures and Literatures at NOVA FCSH and the co-coordinator of the PhD Course in Modern Literatures and Cultures. She has taught several first-degree courses, postgraduate, masters and PhD seminars, in a number of areas, including Anglo-Portuguese Cultural and Literary Studies, Cultural Theory, Translation Studies, History of Britain, English Literature and Culture and American Literature and Culture. She has supervised several masters and doctoral theses in Anglo-Portuguese Studies, Translation and English and American Studies. Her special area of interest and specialisation is Anglo-Portuguese Studies, a field in which she achieved her PhD with a thesis entitled Speculative Diagnoses: Images of Britain in the Portuguese Press in the Second Half of the 19th Century (1865-1890), 3 volumes (2004). She is the Editor of the Journal of Anglo-Portuguese Studies (JAPS) a specialised periodical, indexed by SCOPUS, and published annually both on paper and electronically. Within this area of studies, she has recently launched a research project entitled “Cross-Cultural Anglo-Portuguese Discourses and the Press”  with its own data basis: [link] The principal aim of the project is to carry out a critical analysis of the discourses of the twentieth-century Portuguese and British press to assess how far the confrontation of different narratives and portrayal strategies can contribute towards the study of intercultural relations between the two countries as well as assisting  in (de)constructing the many cultural images which have played a role in  changing and hierarchising the two cultures.

She is a member of the Board of the Centre for English, Translation and Anglo-Portuguese Studies (CETAPS) and of a number of international academic associations. She is the leader of the Anglophone Cultures and History Area and the convenor of the research strand Culture, Science and the Media which studies the relationship between Science and Culture and its representation in different media in the Anglophone world. Within the scope of this strand, she has organised several series of public lectures and colloquia, two volumes – Literature and Science: Multidisciplinary Dialogues (2021) and Science and Culture. Fictionalisations of Science in Britain (19th and 20th centuries) (2012) – and published a considerable number of articles on the subject. A third volume, entitled Over the Moon: Representations of the Moon in Literature, Science and the Arts will be published in 2024. Within this strand, in 2020 she launched the research project “Bridges between Fictional Narratives and Science (21st century)” (BFS21) with its own data basis: https://cetapsrepository.letras.up.pt/id/cetaps/114045
