Focusing on the Portuguese Empire, this book examines colonial
press issued in "metropolitan" spaces and in colonies, disclosing
dissonant narratives and problematizations of colonial empires.
Creating and Opposing Empire is a venture of the International
Group for Studies of Colonial Periodical Press of the Portuguese
Empire (IGSCP-PE), which also invests on comparative studies and
conceptual discussions. This book analyses representations of
Empire at colonial press published in "metropolitan" spaces and in
colonies. By joining these spaces in the same analytic look, it
explores different problematizations of colonial empires. The
diversity of angles discloses why a decolonized, democratic,
understanding of the world modulated by modern colonial empires
needs to navigate the seas of dissonant narratives of community,
nation, and empire. The book deals with the ideas that in their
complexity and dynamism, until late in the twentieth century, were
moulded in the game between the cultural context of representations
and the universality of concepts. The studies range from approaches
to International Exhibitions, Metropolitan Press, Colonial Models,
Missionary Press, Literary Discourses, Colonial and Postcolonial
Press, Constructing the "Others", Anticolonial Press, Democracy,
Dictatorship, Censorship, Colonial Prison's Press, among other
themes. Its primordial focus on the Portuguese Empire, introduces
perspectives rarely included in international discussions on
colonial and imperial press histories. This book is essential for
scholars and students in Media Studies, Modern History, Cultural,
Literary Studies and Political Science.
