Description

Considering the theoretical framework of imagology, in this present paper we will elect a corpus of periodicals chronologically situated during the Napoleonic wars and related to the bicentennial celebrations of French invasions, in order to detect and analyze the images of the foreigner Other. Considering the importance of journalism as an history of the present and also considering its role in the construction and/or dissemination of cultural representations with various impacts towards the readers, such an approach of the chosen texts enables to highlight several driven dynamics between cultures and, in this case, the Luso-French relations, through the reflection on the relational attitudes that may be ranged from phobia to mania.
