Joana Fraga
Joana Fraga is a post-doctoral researcher at the Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa. She was a postdoctoral fellow at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (Paris, 2014/2015); at the Università degli Studi di Torino thanks to a Marie Curie Cofund grant (2015/2017): and had a Marie Curie Individual Fellowship at ICS (2017/2019). In 2019-2022 she was a postdoctoral researcher at the RITUALS project. The following academic year she was a Maria Zambrano postdoctoral fellow at Universidad Complutense de Madrid. She has a PhD in Modern History from the University of Barcelona, a master's degree in Modern History from the same university and a degree in History from the University of Coimbra. She carried out her doctoral thesis on visual communication in the context of the 1640-1647 revolts in Catalonia, Portugal and Naples. During the three revolts, which took place in the context of the Thirty Years' War, images were used as tools to legitimize and galvanize the two parties involved in each of the conflicts. The proposed investigation, focused mainly on the insurgents' perspective, analyzes, on the one hand, the ordering processes, those responsible for them, the messages they contained, and on the other the circulation and consumption of said images.
She is currently developing a project about the political role played by “filhos da terra”, a population identified as Portuguese, but different from natives and those from the kingdom, who lived in the Portuguese empire, between 1640 and 1750.
