- Emotions and Early Modern diplomacy: the case of iberian ambassadors at the Elizabethan CourtPublication . Oliveira, Susana M.; Cerezo, Marta MorenoEmotions underlie world politics and are essential to state actors’ strategies and exchanges. Considering the complexities of the early modern Anglo-Iberian relations and the diplomatic sources, it is possible to pursue a line of enquiry which analyzes emotions in foreign affairs policies. This paper explores the Iberian diplomatic missions to the Elizabethan court, applying the current research on emotions in diplomacy to the sixteenth-century diplomatic practice and its conventions regarding emotional display. Early modern Iberian diplomatic correspondence reveals a collective dimension, conveying an official—rather than personal—emotional strategy on foreign affairs. Spain’s dominant geopolitical and economic circumstances favored a more aggressive diplomatic approach. At the same time, Portugal’s more delicate strategic position and the maintenance of the Anglo-Portuguese Alliance determined a diplomacy of appeasement. Sovereigns selected their envoys based on how their diplomatic skills and emotional behavior would suit the kingdom’s agenda. This diplomatic strategy allowed a collaborative and synchronized emotional behavior amongst state actors to emerge.

- The orphic ‘fleeting glimpse’ in some of its remediationsPublication . Bär, GeraldThe myth of Orpheus and Eurydice was revitalized and perpetuated during the first decades of the twentieth century in literature and other arts. Influenced by literature, painting and music, cinema has retold and re-enacted the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice in many variations, from Fritz Lang’s Destiny (1921) to Jean Cocteau’s Orphic trilogy (1930-60). It is impossible to show the whole process of the myth’s trans-mediation, from orality to internet, but by revisiting the Orphic theme in some of its various modernist re-mediations and by analysing and comparing its pictorial and cinematographic expression we will gain insight not only into its adaptations and transformations, but also into the technology involved in these processes (media archaeology). My approach focuses on the technical reproducibility of the invisible, and analyses its pictorial, poetic and cinematographic expression in the cultural exchange between Rodin, Rilke and Cocteau.
- Stateless: to belong nowherePublication . Martins, Margarida“Stateless asks important questions about where and to whom we belong, what constitutes home, and what our moral obligation is to one another. Unfortunately, it doesn’t give its refugees the chance to answer for themselves” (Fontoura 2020). The Australian mini-series which aired on Netflix in 2020 spans six episodes and focuses on the daily struggles and interactions at a detention centre for migrants and refugees seeking political asylum in Australia. The socio-political message of the series is the stateless identity characters like Ameer and his daughter Mina, Rosna, Javad and his family, and Farid have been subjected to while inhabiting this indefinite intermediate zone that exists between their home country (they have fled from) and the host country they await residency for.
