A Coleção de azulejaria antiga da Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade de Lisboa : processo de inventário

This thesis presents the process of conducting the inventory of the old tiles collection of the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Lisbon (FBAUL). This set can be divided into two major groups: the first is integrated in the building, the second consists of a set 2036 loose tiles with a pattern of decorative, ornamental and figuratively, some of which form panels of great value. Due to the existence of a wide variety of unknown provenance tile, stored at random, we feel the need to develop an inventory process, intended to safeguard and preserve these he-ritage objects whose existence was virtually unknown until the beginning of this work. This process continued working methodology started with the identification, photographic survey and labeling, with subsequent filling an inventory sheet. To obtain information about the loose tiles, it was essential to have a previous cleaning the mortar that prevented the reading of existing information in masonry, a process developed with the support of un-dergraduate students. After completion of the above process, we make the assembly of panels existing mostly very fragmented to give some iconographic references. In this process we identified 21 types of patterns belonging to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and 30 figurative and orna-mental panels. We realized then interconnections between them and the sets placed in situ around the building, and some of its tiles have been used to fill spaces or gaps. At the same time, we have created the inventory records, diagnosis and intervention, as well as a database for internal consultation - Excel - organized by a filtering system to allow quick search of all the tiles present in FBAUL. Finally, we will show a room to house the collection of loose tiles, making references to the ideal conditions of the outdoor environment and its packaging. Also we propose a very punc-tual removing some tiles embedded in the walls of the building which form part of panels composed of loose tiles, indicating a proposal to replace the other coherent and complete element belonging to the collection, preferably with a standard reason

O (in)dizível em Uma aventura secreta do Marquês de Bradomín de Teresa Veiga

A dissertação baseia-se numa leitura do conto “Uma aventura secreta do marquês de Bradomín”. Este texto narrativo destaca questões relacionadas com a ficção contemporânea portuguesa, como a construção da personagem com estatuto de protagonista, oscilando entre ser real e ser ficcional, a autoria feminina, a importância do dizer e do silêncio. A personagem feminina apresenta a sua história partilhada com o marquês de Bradomín e os sentidos mudam em consonância com as condições temporal e discursiva; a simbologia torna-se um acto de ideologia e de interpretação, uma vez que a expressividade humana está para além das palavras, produzindo silêncios enquanto se discursa. A personagem escreve por palavras que ocultam outras, que são apenas aludidas e, como a narradora recorre à memória, o seu texto discursivo pode apresentar-se de forma lacunar, com a desculpa do esquecimento. Neste caso, os sentidos podem ser sempre outros e o (in)dizível persiste.
