Description
The Anglophone Cultures and History Research Area is devoted to the study of cultures of English-speaking countries and regions, namely the relationship between literature, culture and different forms of contemporary storytelling, genres, art and media (television, cinema, video games, memes, social media, intermedial, interactive and decolonial narratives, digital communities, among others). It also studies contemporary social issues as well as cultural productions in the Anglophone world, in Europe and in post-colonial spaces such as Australia, Jamaica, India, Nigeria, and Hong Kong, and the United States of America.
The strand American Intersections, coordinated by Teresa Botelho, aims to advance the understanding of cultural realities in the United States from a broad thematic and interdisciplinary perspective, examining how questions of place, identity and transnational interdependencies intersect in the mapping of the ever-changing and multilayered American imaginary.
The Permanent Research Seminar on Caribbean Studies is devoted to the study of the literatures and cultures of English-speaking Caribbean countries.

New Humanities
The term “blue humanities” was coined in 2009 by the American professor Steve Mentz, it proposed a different direction to humanities focusing on the sea as a key framework for exploring culture, history, human life, and society. In line with this approach, we have created the Blue Humanities database, which gathers a heterogeneous collection of films and books where the sea plays and important role. Currently, the project includes over 70 entries, but our aim is to keep expanding. Therefore, we welcome contributions and recommendations of works that might enrich our repository and contribute to further studies on Blue Humanities field.

Cross-Cultural Discourses: Portugal, Britain and the Press
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.
