- Translating and popularizing China's past in Portugal: double foreignness in José de Freitas's a China Antiga e Moderna (1941)Publication . Cheung, CharlesThis article proposes “double foreignness” as a methodological prompt for analyzing the writing of a foreign country’s history, where spatiotemporal distance is compounded by cultural-linguistic distance. It examines José de Freitas’s A China antiga e moderna [Ancient and Modern China] (1941), a Portuguese popular history volume that connects China’s past to the Second Sino-Japanese War for early-1940s readers. Through Lefevere’s ([1992] 2017) concept of rewriting, the study shows how Freitas selectively rewrites francophone sources into Portuguese within a popularizing editorial framework. Drawing on Maitland’s (2017) model of cultural translation, the analysis traces Freitas’s interpretive gestures through which China’s past is made more intelligible to Portuguese readers and framed sympathetically, notably through familiar reference frames and recurrent images of the Chinese as “pacifist” and “traditionalist.” The case suggests that double foreignness can be productively analyzed through the interplay of intertemporal, interlingual, and cultural translation.
- The somatechnic hermeneutic: ‘embodying’ the worlds of journalism studyPublication . Novais, Rui Alexandre; Resende, FilipeThis study introduces a somatechnic hermeneutic to bridge the theoretical insights of the bodily turn in journalism studies with the empirical architecture of large-scale survey research, exemplified by the Worlds of Journalism Study (WJS). We argue that indicators such as safety, autonomy, precarity, and role conceptions are not merely abstract variables but proxies for lived, embodied experience. Applying this hermeneutic to Portugal's paradoxical profile - marked by high physical safety alongside acute economic precarity - we identify a state of somatic dissonance, in which the journalistic body is caught between physical protection and systemic strain. Through comparative analysis, we demonstrate how this dissonance fractures professional self-perception, revealing professional role commitments are not only cognitive ideals but also corporeal practices. This approach re-frames perceptual survey data into a narrative of embodied experience and provides a framework for addressing empirical paradoxes, offering a transferable methodology for understanding how the pressures of journalism are somatically registered and endured across diverse media systems.

- “O olhar chinês sobre nós”: construção de metaimagens em A China vence o passado de José de Freitas e toda a China de António Graça de AbreuPublication . Cheung, Charles Chon NengNeste artigo, explora-se a metaimagem portuguesa na literatura de viagem sobre a China, comparando A China vence o passado (1964), de José de Freitas, e Toda a China (2013-2014), de António Graça de Abreu. Com base na leitura integral e codificação temática, identificam-se 76 segmentos, codificados em cinco valências: “forasteiro bem acolhido”, “indesejável”, “exótico”, “português, povo periférico” e “avançado”. Com apoio dos dados quantitativos da codificação, é realizada uma análise imagológica das metaimagens, examinando e comparando o cenário, as vozes e as condições históricas. Em ambos os relatos, o viajante é interpelado como português, europeu, ocidental e estrangeiro – e é acolhido, rejeitado, exotizado ou desconhecido pelo “olhar chinês”. Freitas privilegia o institucional e o discurso reportado, com predominância de “forasteiro bem acolhido” e “indesejável” e ocorrências de “avançado”; Abreu enfatiza o quotidiano e a autoironia no espaço público, reforçando “exótico” e “português, povo periférico”. O estudo mapeia continuidades e deslocações diacrónicas na construção do “olhar chinês sobre nós”, oferecendo os primeiros dados empíricos para investigações da metaimagem neste par cultural.

- Urban imaginaries of post-2022 Russian emigrants on Telegram: negotiating belonging and affective attachment in Yerevan, Buenos Aires, Herceg Novi, and BelgradePublication . Menshikov, Andrey; Purgina, EkaterinaThis study examines the digital narratives of Russian emigrants who left the country after 2022, focusing on how they construct urban imaginaries of their host cities on Telegram. Drawing on four publicly accessible Telegram channels (from their creation in 2022 through April 2026), it explores representations of Yerevan, Buenos Aires, Herceg Novi, and Belgrade. The corpus broadly reflects the sociological profile of the post-2022 emigration wave: urban, highly educated, and relatively affluent. Using narrative analysis, the study identifies recurring themes and rhetorical strategies through which emigrants make sense of their new environments. Particular attention is paid to everyday topics such as weather and seasonal rhythms, sensory impressions of urban space, gastronomy and food practices, encounters with host-community members, and the gradual cognitive mapping of the city. These brief, episodic sketches, addressed to online audiences, produce dynamic and evolving urban imaginaries that are neither fixed nor purely individual but co-constructed through circulation within diasporic digital networks. The findings show that these imaginaries emerge through an ongoing negotiation between emigrants and place. A key dimension of this process is affective: as narrators move beyond tourist perspectives and engage with the city’s everyday routines and less visible spaces, they develop forms of place attachment, articulated through the interchangeable use of “falling in love” with the city and “feeling at home.” Sensory familiarity, personal landmarks, and humorous encounters with locals all contribute to this transition from displacement to dwelling. While integration into local communities may remain limited, attachment to the urban environment becomes a crucial resource for reconfiguring belonging and constructing new, place-based identities. Urban imaginaries thus function as affective and symbolic tools for negotiating displacement and re-establishing agency.
