This project aims to analyse the media coverage of the first six months of the parliamentary term of Joacine Katar Moreira, the first racialized woman, head of the list of a political party in Portugal, covering her initial path, first as representative elected for the LIVRE party, then as non-attached member.
The goal is that this project be the first contribution for the creation of the IM Lab - Intersectionality Media Lab, integrated in ReLeCo Media Society and Literacies of CICANT. The study of intersectionality is deemed “relevant as a way of approaching the media construction of the society and its impacts on the deconstruction or sedimentation of power relations, in the individuals’ experiences and subjectivities” (Cerqueira e Magalhães, 2017: 15). The purpose is that IM Lab stands as a specialized academic laboratory, engaged with the production and dissemination of knowledge, in line with the objectives of CICANT, which may become an enriching partner of the existing MeLCi Lab.
