The Synesthesia project (Centre for Comparative Studies – School of Arts and Humanities, University of Lisbon), in collaboration with ‘Casa da Achada-Centro Mário Dionísio’, the ‘Museu do Neo-Realismo’ and the ‘Associação Promotora do Museu do Neo-Realismo’ is promoting an International Congress on the life and work of Mário Dionísio.

The main objective of this Congress is to promote a debate as wide as possible on the several dimensions of the author’s work, bringing a new impetus to the reflection around such unique figure of the Portuguese culture. Thus, this congress aims to deepen the study of Mário Dionísio’s literary, artistic, educational, political and theoretical-critical intervention through a comparative perspective, and benefit from the multifaceted network that the comparative approach will necessarily create between different research areas.
