LIACOM researcher Filipa Subtil is part of the Organizing Committee of the conference “The beginning of the end: culture and media in Portugal from 1961 to 1974”, to be held on the 12th and 13th of December, in the auditorium of the National Library of Portugal.
The conference proposes the debate and reflection around the relationship between the April 1974 revolution and the affirmation of a set of industries and cultural practices in the Portuguese metropolis from 1961 onwards.bThe meeting will therefore seek to analyze the actors involved, their spaces of action, the technical reproduction and circulation of ideas, images and sounds, the organization and business models, the relations of cooperation and/or conflict between corporate and/or class interests, as well as hegemonic representations and the appropriate aesthetic and political subversion, allowing a broader perception of the roots of the Revolution.
