Frames of violence and recent history in Simon Stephens' Motortown by Marion Coste

“…Written during the 7/7 bombings in London, the play is permeated with the sense of horror associated with the war against terror and the war in Iraq: it blurs the line between the frontlines and the home front, as Danny, a former squaddie, re-enacts on British soil the acts of torture inflicted on prisoners in Abu Ghraib. This paper will show how, drawing on In-Yer-Face aesthetics, the playwright subverts the framing of torture and reflects on the anti-war movement.…”

Spanish refugees in Portugal and the Portuguese solidarity (1936-1945) by Fábio A. Faria

“…Due to its authoritarian nature, Salazar´s regime proved reluctant to receive them and developed a repression directed at these refugees, considered “undesirable,” visible in the increase of the number of border posts and their reinforcement and in the collaboration between different authorities, namely PVDE (State Surveillance and Defense Police), GNR (Republican National Guard), PSP (Public Security Police) and GF (Fiscal Guard), leading to their concentration in large national prisons.
