A self-portrait as Snow White? Perversion and family intrigue in Paula Rego
Open class with Bruno Marques
Moderation: Eunice Ribeiro
Organization: 2i/CEHUM Group
With the support of: Master in Portuguese Teaching in the 3rd Cycle of Basic Education and Secondary Education /IE
SYNOPSIS
In the pictorial series that Paula Rego dedicates to Snow White (1995) – which takes as its starting point not the literary memory of the traditional tale of the Brothers Grimm, but the visual memory of the famous adaptation to the big screen made by Walt Disney in 1937 – highlights There is something disturbing about an archetype of family intrigue: the subliminal idea that the hidden threat of incest is on the female side, that is, it is the girl who appears with the dimension of a subject assaulted by eminently perverse, emancipated and conscious dilemmas.
According to Roland Barthes, the subject painfully identifies with any person (or character) who occupies the same position in the love structure as he does (1995, 165). Through a process of “identification”, we maintain that Paula Rego (self)portraits herself through the interposition of a character from a children's tale in order to bring to light the dark side of the female psyche: under the sign of the Electra Complex , Mother and daughter end up in an eternal dispute for the love of the father.

Filmed portraits: cinema, literature and subject
Open class with Amândio Reis
Moderation: Eunice Ribeiro
Organization: 2i/CEHUM Group
With the support of: Master in Portuguese Teaching in the 3rd Cycle of Basic Education and Secondary Education /IE
SYNOPSIS
Assuming that the relationship between cinema and literature can surpass and even challenge the concept of adaptation and the mechanisms that are typically associated with it (such as the appropriation of literary genres by cinema), we will try to explore some forms of transmutation and prevalence of the “text” in film. By investigating the limits and potential of biography and portraiture, a reflection is proposed that interrogates these terms and their amplitude in the scope of fiction and documentary. Special attention will be given to the construction of the figure of the writer in Portuguese cinema, and, more specifically, in Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen (1969), by João César Monteiro, and O Dia do Desespero (1992), by Manoel de Oliveira. .

- Workshop: Exercise of poetic reason – “Limite”, by Mário Peixoto
Based on the viewing of the film “Limite” (Mário Peixoto, 1931), professor Dr Ciro Inácio Marcondes and doctoral student Maria Eduarda Filomeno Affonso propose a reading of the greatest silent classic of Brazilian cinema from the exercise of poetic reason (Zambrano, 1999). “Limite” is a film linked to the avant-garde language in the early days of Brazilian cinema, and among its influences are films from German expressionism, French impressionism and Russian constructivism. However, none of these references is sufficient to explain the extraordinary artistic quality of the film and the poetic character of its images, which refer to elemental forces (water, nature, wind) and foundational actions (escape, crumbling, disintegration) as a metaphor for human existence. Beyond objective interpretations, however, “Limit” is a sensitive explosion that can be thought and felt according to its qualities as an image, synesthetic force and haptic power. This workshop proposes a radical reading exercise of “Limit” based on the heuristic of “poetic reason” developed by María Zambrano, seeking, more than answers, questions that logocentric reason is not able to answer.

Seminar: A Silent Poetics
From a correlation between the ideas of image, cinema and silence, poetry is proposed as a frequency of perception or attunement of thinking. Some films from the silent period of cinema (from the pre-synchronization era) will serve as a corollary to reflect on silence as a state of cacophony and discursive splendor, and the poetic frequency as a result of the interaction of this silence with filmic images, whether intentionally poetic or not. Therefore, these ideas will be thought from the theories of cinema, media archeology and phenomenology. In this way, poetry here is read in a sense closer to the Heideggerian, that is, it is not a literary genre, but a modality of thinking. The idea is to think of it as a medium for perception. When we trigger this poetic frequency, all the reading and interpretation of reality converges to different questions and answers about the world. Excerpts from films by Charles Chaplin, Louis Feuillade, Joris Ivens, Henwar Rodakiewicz and others will be shown and commented on.
