(In)Visible Culture: Cultural Conflict and Portuguese Society: A program of inter-cultural academic exchange between the Annenberg School for Communication and the Universidade Catolica Portuguesa, Lisbon, Portugal. Five Annenberg students will join graduate-level students from Universidade Catolica Portuguesa to examine several issues pertaining to the history and culture of Portugal, to better understand contexts in which culture undergoes challenges from economic, social, politcal, religious or other forces.Topics of study include Portugal's experience with religious and authoritarian politics, the colonial war, national identity and its linkages with race and gender, the 1974 revolution, the ascendance of sports as a national marker, territorial expansions, and the exclusion of migrant workers, gypsies and others from national culture, particularly at at time when Portugal's entry in the EU has taken over public discussion.
