Cinema: Work, Organisations, Society - A Luso-Brazilian Dialogue

O ISEG, o SOCIUS and the UFRGS have joined forces to organise this Cycle of Cinema & Debates, which addresses issues that are essential to contemporary society.

  • Science, technology and innovation
  • State and public policies
  • Markets and financialisation
  • Organisations, professions and qualifications
  • Ageing, health and care
  • Sustainable development, the third sector and social networks

The project includes:

  • + 10 sessions
  • Exhibition of films produced in Portugal and Brazil
  • Simultaneous screening at ISEG and UFRGS
  • Debates with the realisation team and researchers
  • And much more

"A Name For What I Am" by Marta Pessoa

Theme: "Employment, Gender and Migration".

Between 1947 and 1949, the writer Maria Lamas travelled the country to discover the reality in which Portuguese women lived. The result of this journey was the book "The Women of My Country". More than 70 years on, director Marta Pessoa and writer Susana Moreira Marques are trying to understand what this book is and what it can tell us today.

A NAME FOR WHAT I AM is a film about a book and the movement it makes in us when we read it.
