Biography

Ana Vera is a researcher in Portuguese, Lusophone, and Iberian Studies, with a strong focus on film and cultures. She holds an academic background from France, and her research emphasizes Portuguese and Spanish cinema, particularly their connections to societal, political, and cultural contexts. Her work has culminated in the book 'Le Cinéma Portugais: Histoire, Culture et Société 1963-2015' (L'Harmattan, 2019), which is a significant study examining the evolution of film narratives and their relation to the development of Portuguese society over 50 years. In her research, she has delved into the discursive systems of film magazines, analyzed filmmakers' interviews, and explored the cultural practices surrounding the film industry. Additionally, she has contributed to the field of Iberian Studies through various projects, including leading a Danish team in an international project funded by the European Commission titled 'ECOS – Exiles, Counter Silence: Memories, Objects, Narratives Uncertain Times', which facilitated public discourse on exile narratives and their impact on transnational memory.
