CFP: THE FANTASTIC IN A TRANSMEDIA ERA:
NEW THEORIES, TEXTS, CONTEXTS DEADLINE: 5 AUGUST, 2015
The fantastic is today’s most popular and significant genre in entertainment media. Among its
developments are George R.R. Martin’s fantasy book series /A Song of Ice and Fire/ and its HBO
adapted series /Game of Thrones/; the /Hunger Games/ film series based on Suzanne Collins'
books; /The Walking Dead/ in comics and television; the new Disney princesses in /Brave /and /Frozen/; the rebooted superheroes emerging in games, comics, and film series; religious-themed
stories in blockbuster cinema; among games are LOL and WOW. The fantastic has reached new
audiences and achieved mainstream status.
Fantastic genres include fantasy, science fiction, horror, and the fairy tale, and today’s transmedia
storytelling generates new versions, hybrid forms, and new audience engagements. Multiple media
platforms and participatory audiences call for new theorizations of the fantastic as it expands, transforms, and migrates across media, be they grand cinemas or intimate cell phones. This raises
questions about medium specificity: what does the fantastic look and feel like in different media and
how do stories--affectively and aesthetically--behave when changing form? What significant developments demand our attention, from mash-up narratives to TV genre hybrids? How do audiences
engage with the fantastic across media? How does the increase of female authors and female characters influence the fantastic? And, finally, the relation between imagination and the fantastic calls
for re-conceptualization: Is the fantastic conservative or subversive, or can its appeal be explained
by other factors?

INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR || 12-13 NOVEMBER 2015
“WORK ON SCREEN: SOCIAL MEMORIES AND IDENTITIES THROUGH CINEMA”
CALL FOR PAPER
Since the early 20th century, work in contemporary societies has suffered several processes of
change, which, in the context of the current economic and employment crisis, demand equating the
structuring of social identities that are built and modified through work. During this period, cinema
has been a privileged vehicle for the creation and dissemination of representations on work and,
therefore, the shaping of social memories. It has constituted a privileged channel in the construction
of work memory narratives, contributing to the formation, reproduction and reconfiguration of social
identities.
This international and multidisciplinary seminar aims at gathering and discussing contributions that
analyse the social processes involved in the formation of work identities and representations
through cinema. It will explore how cinema and cinematographic practices – the production, making
and uses of films – have shaped social memories on work.
The seminar welcomes papers that highlight the main continuities and discontinuities of work
memory narratives from the early 20th century to the present days, based on the analysis of specific
films or bodies of films (both documentaries and fictions) and their reception. We encourage interdisciplinary approaches following theoretically and methodologically innovative paths as well as
proposals from those who seek to incorporate visual material into their presentations.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
· Cinema and work (e.g. labour class, militant, educative, companies films)
· Social identities and cinema (documentary, fiction, etc);
· Social memories on work;
· Uses and reception contexts of the film;
· Useful cinema;
· Industrialisation and desindustrialisation in cinema;
· Gender approaches;
· Work spaces;
· Techniques, know-how and learning.
We accept proposals in Portuguese, English and Spanish.

EVENTO DEDICADO ÀS PARCERIAS EUROPEIAS DE INOVAÇÃO
28 DE MAIO
Gabinete de Promoção no Programa Quadro de I&I (GPPQ), responsável em Portugal pelo
suporte ao Horizonte 2020, organiza no dia 28 de Maio em Lisboa (local a confirmar) um evento
dedicado às Parcerias Europeias de Inovação (European Innovation Partnerships – EIPs).
As EIPs constituem uma nova abordagem à investigação e inovação na União Europeia, reunindo os intervenientes do sector público e privado ao longo de toda a cadeia de inovação, de forma
a abordar os grandes desafios da atualidade, tais como as alterações climáticas, a energia, a
disponibilidade de água, a segurança alimentar, a saúde e o envelhecimento da população.
Os concursos lançados no âmbito do Horizonte 2020 constituem um dos instrumentos financeiros
de apoio à implementação das prioridades de I&I definidas nas EIPs e, como tal, a promoção do
envolvimento de entidades portuguesas nas estruturas das diferentes EIPs é essencial para
potenciar a criação de consórcios para os concursos do Horizonte 2020.
O presente evento de divulgação sobre as cinco EIPs em curso (Active and Healthy Ageing,
Agricultural Sustainability and Productivity, Smart Cities and Communities, Water e Raw Materials), envolverá uma sessão plenária com a presença de representantes da Comissão Europeia e
sessões paralelas focalizadas nas diferentes EIPs (tarde), incluindo a partilha de experiências de
participantes nacionais nas diferentes EIPs.
Consulte a agenda aqui e inscreva-se neste evento AQUI até ao dia 22 de Maio. A participação é

PROJETO DE FORMAÇÃO “EQE CANDIDATE SUPPORT PROJECT”
O Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial informa que no âmbito do programa de cooperação
com os Estados-Membros e a OEP – Organização Europeia de Patentes, volta este ano a lançar
o projeto de formação “EQE Candidate Support Project”.
Considerando a grande disparidade do número de mandatários de patentes nos diversos países
signatários da Convenção da Patente Europeia, torna-se fundamental procurar um maior
equilíbrio desta rede, proporcionando aos estados membros com um sistema de patentes menos
desenvolvido, a possibilidade de garantir a necessária representação junto da OEP.
Neste contexto, são objetivos deste projeto:
1.
- Aumentar o número de mandatários profissionais qualificados através do EQE nos Estados-Membros elegíveis;
2.
- Aumentar a taxa sucesso de aprovação dos candidatos ao EQE, sem diminuir a qualidade da qualificação;
3.
- Promover o papel dos institutos nacionais de patentes no apoio aos mandatários locais;
4.
- Promover a profissão de Agente Oficial da Propriedade Industrial / Advogado Europeu de
Patentes.
Este projeto será concretizado através de ações de formação, presenciais e on-line, atividades
de coaching e disponibilização de bibliografia relevante, formação no idioma escolhido para
realização do EQE, bolsa de formação e subvenção nas propinas dos diversos exames a
realizar.
Na qualidade de Estado-Membro da Convenção da Patente Europeia, Portugal, através do INPI
– Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial, em parceria com a ACPI – Associação Portuguesa
dos Consultores em Propriedade Intelectual, associou-se a esta iniciativa através da criação de
um Applicant Review Board que tem como funções: divulgar o projeto; receber e analisar as
candidaturas nacionais, elaborar a lista de candidatos e enviá-la para decisão final do secretariado do EQE na OEP.
Para efetuar a sua candidatura, estão disponíveis os seguintes documentos:
1.
Convite à participação aqui
2.
Formulário de candidatura aqui
As candidaturas com toda a documentação de suporte indicada nos documentos referidos anteriormente deverão ser enviadas até ao dia 12 de junho de 2015 para o e-mail [email protected].
Salienta-se ainda que os candidatos deverão, paralelamente, assegurar a inscrição no pré-exame do EQE 2015 até 2 de junho de 2015. (Mais informações podem ser encontradas aqui).
