Título próprio: Comparative exploration of media models and euthanasia coverage in Portugal and the United Kingdom Autoria: Costa, B. F.; Bernardes, S. F.; Azevedo, J. Resumo: Purpose. To conduct a comparative analysis of news coverage of euthanasia in Portugal and the United Kingdom between 2016 and 2024, identifying structural and cultural differences derived from their respective media models. Methodology. A content analysis was applied to 1,731 news items published on the digital platforms of Expresso, Público, The Guardian, and The Telegraph. Variables examined included authorship, journalistic genre, length, topic, geographical scope, use and role of sources, and degree of explanation and contextualisation. Statistical tests with 5,000 bootstrap samples were employed. Results and Conclusions. Portuguese media relied more on news agencies and focused on political and national topics, but no significant differences were found in the average number of stories or in the level of contextualisation and terminological explanation. The findings partially support Hallin and Mancini’s (2004) media systems models and Hanitzsch’s (2007) theory of journalistic cultures, indicating that thematic sensitivity and professional routines may relativise systemic structures. Singularities. The study provides a replicable empirical and comparative framework that integrates macro (media systems) and meso (journalistic cultures) levels to understand how structural and cultural factors shape the coverage of ethically sensitive issues.

Título próprio: Comércio intenso e preços em alta: O mercado imobiliário no Rio de Janeiro Joanino (1808-1821) Autoria: Pires, J. V. R. Resumo: O presente artigo investiga o mercado imobiliário do Rio de Janeiro no período joanino (1808-1821). As principais fontes foram os anúncios publicados na seção “Avisos” da Gazeta do Rio de Janeiro, primeiro periódico impresso no Brasil e fundado pela monarquia portuguesa após a transferência para a então capital colonial. O estudo defende que a comercialização de casas e terrenos na cidade foi particularmente intensa nesses 14 anos devido à chegada de milhares de europeus no rastro da corte do príncipe regente, futuro rei D. João VI. Os classificados do impresso, cotejados com outras fontes, possibilitam revisitar o período em que a corte esteve no Rio e descortinar que a elevação nos preços praticados e a alta procura provocaram consequências marcantes durante os últimos anos de colonização na região.

Título próprio: Rethinking knowledge production on Portuguese migrations by bridging arts and academia: The festival “A arte de ser migrante” Autoria: Azevedo, L.; Desille, A.; Valente, E. Resumo: For a long time, knowledge production in Europe has relied on epistemologies that marginalise the body. In particular, non-visual senses have been overlooked. Building on a scholarship that foregrounds sensoriality and emotions in migration studies, this paper argues that attending to sensory experience fosters reflexivity and enables renewed understandings of the macro, meso and micro-processes shaping identity and belonging. Authored by a sociologist and a geographer with shared interests in Portuguese intra-European mobilities and creative methods, in collaboration with a photographer, the paper analyses a four-day cultural event they organised in Lisbon in 2025 that gathered artists, scholars and media professionals. The festival “A Arte de Ser Migrante” sought to step outside conventional academic formats and to pay tribute to Portuguese migrants and descendants while interrogating public narratives about Portuguese migrations. Through debates, film screenings, exhibitions, workshops, and sensorial activities involving sound, sight, touch, taste, and movement, the event assembled a heterogeneous audience and invited participants to engage with migration as a multisensory and emotionally textured experience. Drawing on this empirical site, the paper develops three contributions: (a) a reflection on the visibility and invisibility of Portuguese migrations; (b) an examination of participatory cultural events as sites of collaborative and transdisciplinary knowledge production; and (c) an exploration of sensorial and sensitive approaches as tools for revealing blind spots of Portuguese migration research. We conclude by conceptualising the festival as both an act of resistance and a starting point for an ongoing epistemic “craft” that generates new collaborations and opens up new avenues of knowledge in the long term.
