Lugares de O'Neill

The research project Lugares de O’Neill (Places of O’Neill) was designed in the sphere of Portuguese Language and Culture, and aimed to promote varied initiatives around the life and work of Alexandre O’Neill by underscoring the different uses of the word "place". It explored the following lines of action: (i) The technical-documentary processing of Alexandre O’Neill’s personal library archives (bequeathed to Constância City Council);
(ii) the creation of a website dedicated to the life and work of Alexandre O’Neill; (iii) the organisation a set of activities around O’Neill’s life and work (workshops for school-aged children; poetry readings and debates for the general public; conferences for the academic community). To achieve these goals, the research team engaged in several partnerships and signed two cooperation protocols, namely with Constância City Council and Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal.

The project was funded by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
