Narratives in Motion

Luís Trindade teaches Portuguese Culture and History at Birkbeck, University of London. In addition to his edited volume The Making of Modern Portugal (2013), he has published on the histories of Portuguese nationalism and Marxism, Portuguese cinema, the Carnation Revolution, and the history of mass culture in twentieth-century Portugal.

“This is a most interesting work—well written, with a good theoretical grounding—and highly recommended reading for those studying twentieth-century cultural history, as well as Portuguese history.” • American Historical Review“This is an outstanding book and a superlative example of cultural studies done at its best. Luís Trindade develops a sophisticated argument with a clarity of expression that makes this one of the most important works in the field to date.” • Phillip Rothwell, University of Oxford“By treating journalistic narratives as objects of representation in which discourse and the material world coincide, Trindade offers a new window into modernizing societies. His book is clearly written, thoroughly researched, and persuasive.” • Ellen Sapega, University of Wisconsin
