    Charles Thurston Thompson and his Portuguese Project : the real world understood as material for exhibition
    (Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2022) Fontanella, Lee; Escola de Comunicação, Arquitetura, Artes e Tecnologias da Informação
    Charles Thurston Thompson’s work in Santiago de Compostela has occupied stage-front among all of his photographs. Probably for this reason, it is much less known that the Portuguese royal collections and a few Portuguese locations were the primary purpose for his travelling to Iberia. Santiago was an unforeseen interruption. John Charles Robinson, as principal voice behind acquisitions in the South Kensington Museum, was the background Eminence in these enterprises. Here, I piece together the sojourn in Portugal and interrelate – technically, methodologically, and stylistically – the Iberian photographic work with the broader corpus by Thurston Thompson.

    Literature and panoramic structure
    (Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2023) Fontanella, Lee; Escola de Comunicação, Arquitetura, Artes e Tecnologias da Informação
    American writer John Greenleaf Whittier composed his ambitious poem "The Panorama" in late 1855, not long before the Civil War of the States (1861-1865). Literarily, it was meant to dissuade the North and new western territories from following the example of the southern Democrats, and to abolish black slavery. For us today, interest rests also in the way this poem was structured. Whittier must have witnessed a "moving-Panorama" spectacle in his native New England and determined that he would apply that same mechanism for revelation, as structural basis for his lengthy, sententious poem. The political message of this work has earned notable attention, but its reliance on a mid-nineteenth-century popular spectacle had been mentioned just in passing. My aim is to demonstrate intricately how that popular spectacle was applied in this poem.
