Registration is open until October 24 for submissions to the Thematic Symposium (ST 08) “Culture and the press in circulation throughout the Portuguese-speaking world: authoritarianism and propaganda in the 20th century,” coordinated by Dr. Andrelise Gauterio Santorum (CET/FLUL) and doctoral candidate Gabriela Santi Pacheco (CEIS20-UC, PPGH/UFJF), as part of the XLI History Week at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora - “Silenced past, unavoidable legacy: the multiple faces of women in history and the struggle for a leading role” - to be held between December 1 and 5, 2025.This ST, which will take place online, aims to reflect on the different uses of the press and the arts as propaganda tools in 20th-century authoritarian regimes. In light of the theoretical references of global history and transnational history, the aim is to bring together research that explores the mobilization of newspapers, magazines, radio, theater, music, literature, and cinema by authoritarian movements and regimes, fascist or otherwise, that emerged in the Portuguese-speaking world during that period. This reflection considers the dynamics of mobility, exchange, and circulation of things, people, ideas, and institutions in a transnational or global sphere, which marked politics in this discontinuous geographical space that has the Portuguese language as a common point.
