- This book combines the presentation of a large corpus of archival research (the systematic reading of Portuguese periodicals in the 1920s) with historiographical analysis on the role played by the press in the making of historical events. By deploying Hayden White’s concept of modernist event, the book relates journalistic narratives in the period with the ability of modernist literary texts to dramatize social perceptions of the historical context. By drawing on multiple methodological approaches, the book Inserts the Portuguese case in a broader cultural history of early twentieth-century European modernity, breaking new ground in both Portuguese and European history.
