\nFilomena G. \u2013 from The Lady in the Black Dress<\/a> blog \u2013 interviewed me in March for a small section where I ended up talking about literature and economy and Marie Curie.<\/p>\n
\nAfter an atypical year, Revista Bang!<\/a> started 2021 a bit late but back to its biannual frequency. Number 29 was published in April, as always featuring a variety of articles about the fantastic\u2019s many aspects. My column finally stepped fully into the Star Wars<\/em> universe. [Non-fiction]<\/a><\/p>\n
\nEver since 2018, Imaginauta<\/a> presents the science fiction and fantasy literary festival Contacto<\/a>. In 2021 it took place during July and, with the pandemic still reigning, most of the program happened online, originating some long-distance reunions. During other events I had already debated with Madalena Santos<\/a> the issues surrounding the feminine representations within the fantastic, but this was the first time we did so online. Spurred on by In\u00eas Montenegro<\/a>‘s questions and chairing, we tackled several of the theme\u2019s different aspects \u2013 some specific to fantasy and science fiction, many relevant to the arts at large. The sessions from the first day<\/a> as well as those of the second<\/a> are all available on YouTube.<\/p>\n
\nThe group Associa\u00e7\u00e3o de Ideias<\/a> devises a variety of cultural projects and on 2021\u2019s World Poetry Day it launched the Dias \u00dateis<\/a> podcast. It\u2019s a few minutes of poetry early each weekday\u2019s morning, and sometimes in the afternoons too. During Summer, a series was created evoking various places. Answering the pleasant invitation to record a reading, I chose \u201cRota do Vento\u201d by Leonor de Almeida (1909-1983). The poem was published in 1947 as part of the book Caminhos Frios<\/em>. Today it can be found in Na curva escura dos cardos do tempo<\/em> (2020), a new volume gathering all her poems. Alongside this collected poetry, Tatuagens de Luz<\/em> (2020) \u2013 Cl\u00e1udia Clemente<\/a>‘s research on Leonor de Almeida\u2019s life and work \u2013 was also published. [Press \u2013 Radio and television]<\/a><\/p>\n
\nIn September I created an instagram account. The facebook page<\/a> is chiefly to share professional news and on goodreads<\/a> I prefer more detached reviews. For instagram<\/a>, though, is books, books, a lot of books, plus some films and series and CDs and a couple of articles, all with a far more personal approach.<\/p>\n
\nRight at the end of October, Revista Bang!<\/a> issued its 30th number and arrived with a different look. The new style makes for a cleaner design while also helping to highlight the contents\u2019 vast diversity. In my column, I looked at how women are being depicted in the big cinema and television productions of late. [Non-fiction]<\/a><\/p>\n
\nHosted by Lu\u00eds Corte Real<\/a> and with Bruno Martins Soares<\/a> and Lu\u00eds Filipe Silva<\/a> as resident guests, BANGCAST<\/a> premiered in August 2021 as a podcast expansion of the Revista Bang! magazine<\/a> itself: knowingly and appreciatively approaching the multiple worlds of fantasy and science fiction from several points of view. For episode 11, I joined the team to discuss how the first female writers of fantastic literature had a significant role not only in establishing the genre but also in defining it, starting with fairy tales and continuing with gothic stories (which were first influenced by fairy tales and later influenced them). The audio-only version can be listen to on apple podcasts<\/a>, spotify<\/a>, google podcasts<\/a>, or any other podcast platform<\/a>. [Press \u2013 Radio and television]<\/a><\/p>\n
\nThe online magazine InComunidade<\/a> has short stories, poems, reviews, think pieces, and on its November 2021 issue it also re-published my short story \u201cOuve\u201d. I wrote it as part of the 2017 edition of Chaves literary festival Ponte Escrita \u2013 Encontro Luso-Galaico de Escritores<\/a> and it was originally published in Km 0<\/em> (2018), the ensuing short story collection printed by Chaves City Hall and edited by S\u00edlvia Alves and Altino Rio. The text appearing on InComunidade is a revised version. [Fiction \u2013 Short stories]<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
