The opening of the vacancy procedure, as well as the appointment of the
selection board, were authorised by order of the Rector of the NOVA University
of Lisbon, on 14 July 2022, following the assent of the Scientific Council of
the NOVA FCSH.
1 - Hiring the doctoral candidate will be carried out under Decree Law No.
57/2016, of 29 August, as amended by Law No. 57/2017, of 19 July, which

The project ARTHE aims to identify, map, and study the state of the art of
theatre archives in Portugal, in order to establish a plan of good practices
involving a network of institutions. Starting from the analysis of two
important archives recently donated to the Center for Theatre Studies (FLUL)
and extending the research methodology to other archives of theatre companies
in the country, it will seek to deepen the analysis of public and private
conservation policies, to promote their preservation, accessibility, and
study. Having as a starting point the so-called “Independent” Theatre (name
given to the heterogeneous group of non-commercial companies that grew after
the 25th of April) but not limited to it, rather looking for a broad
cartography that looks for affiliations, descendants, and influences, both
national and international, it also aims to contribute to the discussion on
the role of archival practices, as artists and academics have been doing, for
the construction of historiographies of transnational and decentered
performing arts.
The contracted researcher will form part of the project team, participating in
the following scientific research and knowledge dissemination tasks:
preparation of research instruments and methods of data study;
validation of collected data;
documentary record through interviews;
