Appearing since 1991 Formerly published by the ICGP (International Conference Group on Portugal)
The PSR is a non-partisan academic and transnational forum for the study of countries, regions, communities, and institutions sharing, exploring, transforming, or developing a Portuguese, Brazilian, or other Luso-related heritage
Multi-lingual, peer reviewed, agenda-free research forum. Articles, review essays, and reviews in English, Portuguese, French, and Spanish.
The PSR is closely affiliated with the Lusopohone Studies Association (click on logo above, to link ), but operates under its own Editorial Board and under policies governed by the Baywolf Press imprint. The previous association between the PSR and Trent University (Peterborough, Ontario) ended on 05 June 2020. This information is included -- and also summarized on other PSR site pages -- simply as a bibliographic and library cataloguing aid, plus public locator datum. Continually updated resources / publications for the LSA pool are only available through the new LSA Web link (LSA membership).

Follow the PSR on Academia.edu. Or not. Your entirely free choice. Yes, authors are archiving their offprints on Academia.edu with our full permission. But we are not shilling for academia.edu or any such. We are NOT an Academia 'ambassador', and do not seek to be such. We get nothing from the above banner. Nothing. Not even 1/10 click dime. As always, we are skeptical until we see results, and even long after we see results. We are purely concerned with academic integrity, hard as it is to ensure these days. Yes, similar platforms promise and often deliver quick exposure. The PSR, however, does not pay for its academia.edu account, on purpose. We certainly do not wish to be tarred with claims about 'paying for bumping'. Thus, we do not pay. Done. End of 'conversation'.
The PSR and Google Books: Our 'preview' program on Google ended as of 13 February 2016; it was replaced by previews on our own site; our Google Books account has not been maintained for a long while, and will NOT be . We have no comment. We do NOT care what Google may define as 'reality', we do NOT care what Google may field as 'Info Interventions', and we do NOT care about GoogleJigsaw 'pre-bunking' and mind-'immunization' : Pavlovian brainwashing (or PSYOPS 101). We do our own research and draw our own conclusions, as always.
The PSR and Bills C-11 / C-18: If it should turn out in practice (as many fear, legitimately) that these Bills are a backdoor deisgned not to promote Canadian content but to enhance Government censorship, then we have NO intention to comply in ANY way (even the tiniest) with such Bills or with legal (Court) construals of the Bills, or with rulings by the CRTC. Yes, we support strictly autonomous high-quality critical thought & probing research. Yes, we support open debate and oppose all "authoritative" messaging that seeks to shut debate by fiat or force. If candid criticism and research are muzzled, oppression reigns. We align in this with the Office of the Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression (SRFOE) / Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR): "demands to curb ... content must adhere to human rights regulatory frameworks and respect the fundamental purposes of freedom of expression.” Evenhandedly, without scoffing at 'freedom of expression', or obliquely undermining it and playing favourites.

Encounters in Borderlands: Portugal, Ceuta, and the 'Other Shore,' a new collection edited by Martin Malcolm Elbl, presents studies by Kátia Brasilino Michelan, Susani Silveira Lemos França and Michelle Souza e Silva, Marcelo Santiago Berriel, Luís André Nepomuceno, Maria Isabel João, Ivana Elbl, Martin Malcolm Elbl, Jordi Mas Garriga, Luís Costa e Sousa, and Ana Teresa de Sousa. Encounters in Borderlandsseeks to highlight some of the more subtle and obscure echoes that expansion, conquest, encroachment and pushback leave in the written and material record. Such echoes reflect a diversity of drivers. These range from curiosity and repulsion to attraction and rejection, altruism and thirst for gain, search for security and search for dominance, self-shaping as a polar opposite of the 'other,' and much more-- all the way to converse states of virtually becoming the 'other' in ways that are either conscious and voluntary or unwitting and involuntary. The entire game of 'global chess' as well as the post factum memorializing of specific developments is intricately shaped by these. Words and artifacts are not a straightforward record or manifestation of the forces at play, and it is worthwhile to pay attention to them in contexts where meanings are veiled or ambiguous and where the sources of those meanings may need to be identified more closely. The first part of the collection tracks such echoes in political and historical narratives, descriptive texts, inspirational and doctrinal literature, and in the 'staging' of ideology and memory. The second part explores discrete aspects of the military and material record and addresses issues of cultural borrowing, ostensible and de facto strategy and tactics, situational learning and the lack thereof, toponymic palimpsests,and cross-cultural continuities and discontinutities in the built environment.

Encounters in Borderlands cherche à mettre en lumière certains échos assez subtils et obscurs que l'expansion, la conquête, l'empiètement et le refoulement laissent dans les archives écrites et matérielles. Ces échos reflètent une diversité de facteurs. Ceux-ci s'étalent depuis la curiosité et la répulsion jusqu'à l’attraction et au rejet, à l’altruisme et à la soif du gain, à la recherche de sécurité et de domination, à l’auto-façonnage en tant que contraire absolu de « l’autre », et bien plus encore -- jusqu’aux états de pratiquement devenir « l'autre » d'une manière soit consciente et volontaire soit inconsciente et involontaire. Tout le « grandjeu d'échecs » à l'échelle globale, ainsi que les commémorations postérieures de développements spécifiques en sont imprégnées. Les mots et les choses n'enregistrent pas les forces en jeu d'une manière simple. Il s'avère donc utile de les examiner de plus près dans des contextes où les significations se trouvent voilées ou ambiguës et où l'on puisse avoir besoin d'identifier les sources de ces significations d'une manière plus serrée. La première partie de la collection retrace de tels échos dans les récits politiques et historiques, dans des textes descriptifs, dans la littérature moralisante et doctrinale, ainsi que dans des « mises en scène » d'idéologie et de la mémoire. La deuxième partie explore le registre militaire et matériel et aborde des questions d’emprunt culturel, de stratégies et de tactiques ostensibles et factuelles, d’apprentissage par une mise en situation et de ses faillites, de palimpsestes toponymiques, et de continuités et discontinuités interculturelles dans l’environnement bâti.
