Champalimaud Research Champalimaud Research Annual Report 2019 Champalimaud Research Annual Report 2019 The Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown integrates research and clinical operations, under Champalimaud Research and the Champalimaud Clinical Centre (respectively), with the objective of developing cutting edge research side by side with excellent patient care. The goal of Champalimaud Research (CR) is to perform world-leading fundamental and translational research. Current research work is focused on the fields of neuroscience, physiology and cancer. As of 2019, CR hosts three programmes that explore the core research areas of the Foundation: Champalimaud Neuroscience Programme Champalimaud Physiology and Cancer Programme Champalimaud Experimental Clinical Research Programme A Research Direction Team was appointed to coordinate this endeavour. It is comprised of three scientific directors representing the three programmes: Joe Paton, Henrique Veiga- Fernandes and Celso Matos. Together, the team will carry out the scientific aim of the Champalimaud Foundation: to explore new avenues of investigation, while reinforcing the links between research and clinical activities. 10 14 Content The Competitive Foundation External Funding 06 80 70 Structure Education 08 84 84 Growth Events & Diversity 90 10 Culture Research 96 Labs 100 14 Scicom & Outreach Research 100 Associates 98 70 Support Units 108 Adjunct Labs Sci & Tech 72 Platforms 114 Publications 74 The Nitty Gritty 123 Leonor Beleza, President CRAR 2019 CRAR João Silveira Botelho, Vice-president (right) António Horta-Osório, Non executive director (left) The Foundation Through scientific breakthroughs and clinical developments, the Champalimaud Foundation is there to help those who need it most.

  • Rui Lopes an Oasis in Europe: Hollywood Depictions of Portugal
    Rui Lopes An Oasis in Europe: Hollywood Depictions of Portugal during World War II Abstract In the early 1940s, the wave of North American fiction films dealing with the Second World War devoted unprecedented attention to Portugal, then a neutral nation under a fascist-inspired dictatorship led by António de Oliveira Salazar. This article analyses the underlying discourse about Portugal in the stories filmed by Hollywood during this period. It focuses on three key motifs, namely the portrayal of the country as an escape point for refugees, as a gathering ground for spies, and as a safe haven from European war and oppression. Besides identifying common patterns in the narratives, the article seeks to contextualise them by taking into account the evolution of the scripts, as well as the feedback from the Production Code Administration and the Office of War Information. It also briefly contrasts the portrayal of Portugal with that of Spain, where a similar political regime was in place. It concludes that the combination of Hollywood’s formulaic narratives and Washington’s propaganda strategy resulted in a depiction of Portugal that was patronising yet mostly benevolent, romanticising local living conditions and dissociating the Salazar dictatorship from its fascist origins and practices. Keywords Cinema, Fascism, Hollywood, Portugal, World War II 1 The opening page of the final screenplay for the 1944 film The Conspirators1 evocatively established its setting: Lisbon in 1944… To the men of enslaved countries, a mirage of peace and freedom – a symbol of escape from the horror that has swallowed them. The lucky few who manage to reach it find a precarious security and, all around them, a thousand eyes ceaselessly watching, a thousand ears ceaselessly listening..

  • O Retrato De Dorian Gray: a Luta Entre O Bem E O Mal No Romance De Oscar Wilde E Na Pintura De Ivan Le Lorraine Albright
    O Retrato de Dorian Gray: a luta entre o Bem e o Mal no romance de Oscar Wilde e na pintura de Ivan Le Lorraine Albright Patricia Tenório1 (UFPE) Resumo O presente estudo faz parte da pesquisa sobre o fenômeno ekphrástico ocorrente no romance O retrato de Dorian Gray, do escritor, dramaturgo e poeta irlandês Oscar Wilde. Na primeira fase da nossa pesquisa analisaremos a manifestação da ekphrasis a partir do ponto de vista indicial/fotográfico e não icônico/pictórico, como é comumente pesquisado no romance O retrato de Dorian Gray. Na segunda parte, analisaremos a cristalização do Bem ou do Mal no caráter de um jovem em formação sob a influência de um adulto tendencioso, fazendo uma alegoria com a cristalização da sombra e da luz nos sais de prata no processo da fotografia analógica. E como ferramenta de análise, utilizaremos a leitura do quadro The portrait of Dorian Gray, do artista americano Ivan Le Lorraine Albright. Palavras-chave: O retrato de Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde, Ivan Le Lorraine Albright, Intersemiose, Ekphrasis, Fotografia, Pintura. Abstract This study is part of a research of an ekphrastic phenomenon occurring in novel The picture of Dorian Gray from the Irish writer, playwright and poet Oscar Wilde. In the first phase of our research we will analyze the manifestation of ekphrasis from the point of view indexical/ photographic and not iconic/pictorial, as commonly the novel The picture of Dorian Gray is searched. In the second part, we will analyze the crystallization of good or evil in the character of a young man in education under the influence of a biased adult, making an allegory with the crystallization of shadow and light on silver salts in the process of analog photography.
