Mulheres, arte e poder: uma narrativa de contrapoder? by Ana Gabriela Macedo

“…My aim in this paper is to build on a fundamental essay by Linda Nochlin preci- sely titled “Women, Art and Power” (1988), where the author convincingly inves- tigates this triad while, in her own words, she “disentangles various discourses about power related to gender difference existing simultaneously with – as much surface as substractum – the master discourse of the iconography or narrative”. I propose to extend Nochlin’s analysis somehow further and, without twisting her premises, to introduce a shift of focus in this debate, from the analysis of the repre- sentation of women by male artists, to the role of the woman artist in contempo- rary art scene, i.e., from women as objects of representation, to women as agents and subjects of the representation. …”

O casamento de Leonor e Frederico III (1451-1452) e as relações entre Portugal e o Sacro Império nos finais da Idade Média by António Martins Costa

“…The development of the historiography of medieval international relations in the last decades has given the pretext to observe the political approximation of those two kingdoms, geographically distant, based on an important royal marriage that has given us a considerable set of primary sources (chronicles, documents and iconography).
