On September 30th, Monday, from 12 to 1 p.m., in room 3.1, WILL Lab’s team will be conducting an Open Class on outline making. Since these are considered fundamental tools for the organization of the several ideas presented in a text, we hope to provide all participants with useful knowledge, easily applicable during the initial stages of the process of writing academic essays, as well as a deeper understanding of their structure. All University of Lisbon’s students, who wish to improve their academic writing skills, are welcome.

In this workshop, which has two parts, I will first be discussing with you the role of using narrative techniques in helping you care for yourself as a medical practitioner (whether student or fully trained). We will use together some reflective journaling techniques that help identify issues, clarify them and guide doctors towards solutions.
In the second part of this workshop I will be asking you to think about metaphors that define your identity, as either a medical student or a doctor. We will talk about why and how the choice of these metaphors is very influential on our behaviour and attitude. We will also discuss metaphors that are used to describe patients, and metaphors used by patients to describe themselves, and the importance of these. Food for thought (a metaphor!) as the English (and New Zealanders) say, and possibly a topic for you to journal yourself in the future?
23 September | 6pm | Room of the English Department, School of Arts and Humanities of the University of Lisbon
Free admitance (limited to 20 people)

Studying medicine is an exhausting business. There is so much science to learn that medical students can wonder why bother with studying the arts and humanities. I will draw on my professional and personal experience to make a case for not only why a medical student should bother with the humanities, but that they should keep it central to their learning, for the sake of both themselves and their future patients. Much of my discussion will center on my own personal passion – ancient medical history – but I will also illustrate my talk with examples from other humanities and the arts, including some specifically from my home, New Zealand.
Moderator: Prof. Isabel Fernandes (CEAUL/ULICES)

Music is one of the most powerfully emotional and least understood aspects of film. Although many people are barely aware of it while they are viewing a movie, film scores move us and manipulate us, often giving us clues for understanding what we are seeing and more often, for what we are not seeing.
This seminar is a survey of the works of great American film score composers from the 1930s Golden Age up to contemporary times. Film score composers such as Max Steiner (Gone with the Wind, 1939) Bernard Herrmann (Psycho, 1960), and the more contemporary John Williams (Harry Potter 2001-2004, Star Wars 1977-2017) will be studied, along with many others.
We will examine and develop a vocabulary and techniques for analyzing virtually any movie score. In addition, we will investigate why and how music functions as a powerful emotional and storytelling tool in these films, and discover the degree to which film composers have relied on cherished symphonic and operatic traditions from 19th century European musical styles in creating their uniquely American soundtracks. After this seminar students will never “hear” movies in the same way.
