Abstract

While experiencing a socio-economic crisis since 2008, Portugal also suffered a structural and multidimensional crisis. Artists responded with artworks that depicted the crisis, including urban art, theater, photography and later also literature. The results serve as indicators of a social self-diagnosis. This paper's main objective is to analyze the techniques and tools used by photography and literature to deal with this social, political, and cultural challenge. To reach this target, a small part of visual and textual documents will be analyzed.
