Meet the new team
It’s April in Porto. It’s cold and it’s raining cats and dogs. At CETAPS, a group of junior researchers in Anglo-American Studies is organizing and streamlining a few online projects related to it. Both the Alimentopia project – an archive for a multidisciplinary research project on utopian visions of the future conditions of food production and consumption – and the ARUS Digital Repository – a major collection of critical bibliography on utopian studies originally compiled by Lyman Tower Sargent – are being worked on. There is a lot to be done, but there is a team of four young master’s students between the ages of 23 and 25 hammering away at it. Below, we present to you the members of this Fantastic Four.

Mapping Edgar Allan Poe’s Terror
The main purpose of this thesis is to provide a complete study of the effect of terror in Edgar Allan Poe’s works through the development of a detailed digital cartography of the author’s terror fiction.
To achieve this goal, five maps will be created and divided into at least three main interrelated categories: spaces, themes, and characters. The main goal is to discern patterns that link spaces, themes, and characters, effectively achieving the effect of terror. In order to provide a complete study of the effect of terror, the corpus will englobe the totality of the Poesque oeuvre.
Mapping the African American Space in Toni Morrison
The purpose of this work is to use Digital Humanities not only as the methodology for it, but also as the mode chosen to display research outcomes.
The Digital Humanities will be used to map the characters’ journey, in Toni Morrison’s novels, through their spaces (African-American) and the spaces of others (usually white people), in order to find out what happens to them according to their movement or lack of it. This project also intends to show that the utopian space is white, while the heterotopic is black.
