American Studies Over Seas | A Parternship between ULisboa/CEAUL and Georgetown University

An academic and pedagogical programme will take place on 16 November as part of a collaboration with Georgetown University that CEAUL and DEA, with the support of American Corners, have been building. For the time being, it will be materialised in this American Studies Over Seas meeting.

In a hybrid format, online and face-to-face, with six of our researchers in Washington DC and many more here, the programme on 16 November starts at 9 a.m. in Washington DC and 1 p.m. in Lisbon (all times in the annex refer to Eastern Time). It would be a pleasure and an incentive for the protocol we are trying to establish if you could attend some of the activities, which include a transatlantic tribute to the “two Teresas”, scientific papers by younger and younger speakers (from both institutions), the presentation of the two volumes American Studies Over_Seas, as well as a discussion of good practices in inter-institutional protocols and research and teaching partnerships.

The Edge of Human Experience: Blake and Tolkien’s Art | Online Event

13/10/2023 19:30-20:30

Have you ever looked at a piece of visual art by J.R.R. Tolkien and thought ‘that looks a bit like Blake’?

In this online talk, PhD student Annise Rogers will examine why this might be so, even though, as far as we are aware, Tolkien never cited Blake as an influence.

Romantic connections, even within Blakean study, have tended to be based on texts. This is due, in part, to the slippery nature of the term ‘Romanticism’, a term difficult to define in literature, and even harder in visual art.

William Blake has always been an immensely important figure in the history of visual art, influencing artists and artistic movements such as the Pre-Raphaelites, William Morris, and Art Nouveau. J.R.R. Tolkien is commonly regarded as one of the forefathers of contemporary fantasy fiction. But what connects these two artists, and how are they visually connected?
