The "History" of Portuguese performance art, an artistic genre that has only been named as such since the 1960s, is still a work in progress and has only recently become part of Portuguese art history. Beyond fragmentary theoretical contributions, which are focused mainly on particular artists who were generally better known for their less performative artistic practices (poetry, painting, sculpture), this history in process has been carried out either through "musealization" (exhibitions, retrospectives etc.) or by means of a new interest from new generations of Portuguese artists and researchers into the genre. Several questions arise when we attempt a more comprehensive analysis of this history. They involve difficulties of prioritizing agents and works, unavailability of sources, market strategies on the part of cultural intermediaries (programmers, curators, commissioners, critics). These are just some of the issues in the discussion of a subject that seems, in its current stage, to be "performative" and "speculative" in character.

The Unknown Carnival of Terceira Island (Azores, Portugal): Community, Heritage, and Identity on Stage2022 •
Terceira Island hosts a Carnival that enjoys unique features in the landscape of European folklore. It involves a major share of the resident population, it takes place on stages scattered all over the island, and it involves a blend of dancing, music, and acting. This paper presents the preliminary results of a collaborative project between native and foreign scholars, with the activist goal of providing Terceira’s Carnival with visibility in order to ensure its preservation. Documentary evidence and fieldwork activities undertaken in 2020 provide grounds to interpret Terceira’s Carnival as a multi-modal endeavour that nurtures social cohesion through mythopoesis, subversion of hegemonic roles, and the distribution of leadership to folk elites. As such, we argue that Terceira’s Carnival does not fit traditional scholarly views on European Carnivals. Additionally, we show that, thanks to its ability to trigger identity-making processes, this Carnival is a case for cultural sustainability: in fact, it ensures the preservation of communal bonds in face of changing global and regional social landscapes
FOLKLORISTIKA Journal of the Serbian Folklore Association www.folkloristika.org ISSN 2560-3191 (Online) ISSN 2560-4414 (Print) CALL FOR PAPERS Thematic Issue: Folklore and folk narrative in Latin American contexts The Editorial board of Folkloristika, the Journal of the Serbian Folklore Association, invites contributors to submit original scientific papers, and unpublished field material concerning the topic of Folklore and folk narrative in Latin American contexts. The Issue editors are María Inés Palleiro (University of Buenos Aires, Faculty of Philosophy and Letters) and Ana María Dupey (University of Buenos Aires, Department of Anthropological Sciences). Latin American folklore and, specifically, Latin American folk narrative, has distinctive features that are worth highlighting in this special issue of Folkloristika. One of these distinctive features is the coexistence of vernacular/indigenous narratives with narrative folk expressions from migrant and créole groups, whose combination mirrors the plural profile of different South American local societies. The aim of this issue is to enhance such plural profile, by presenting interdisciplinary contributions which could show this cultural blend. Covering a large span of renderings ‒ from narrative performances dealing with Jewish migration to Argentina, to vernacular indigenous narratives that show a blend between fictional and ritual discourse in different contexts, and to Brazilian and Peruvian performative narratives, the contributions should offer an overview of the richness and diversity of Latin American aesthetic expressions of differential identities framed in narrative forms, displayed in narrative performances and organized stored in folk narrative archives. The contributions regarding folk narrative expressions of vernacular cultures from other Latin American countries and communities, from an analytical perspective, are warmly welcome. Folklore, narrative and performance are the key words for the contributions. The main goal is to show the multicultural profile of Latin American communities and to highlight the relevance of Latin American non-material cultural heritage. The issue intends to include reviews of studies regarding Latin American folklore and folk narrative, as well as comparative studies of Latin American and European folk narrative archives and collections. Folkloristika [Folkloristics] is a scholarly, peer-reviewed journal of the Serbian Folklore Association ‒ a large community of academic specialists, professionals, and postgraduate students. It publishes papers on all forms of folklore and the non-material heritage in Serbia and elsewhere. Folkloristika encourages various theories, critical and comparative approaches, the study of history and folklore methodology, covering all the areas of interest to the subject: the relation between folkloristics and ethnology, ethno-musicology, linguistic and cultural anthropology, social history, cultural studies, kindred social sciences and the humanities. In addition to maintaining high academic standards, Folkloristika publishes field material and reports, endeavouring to stimulate scholarly discourse and point out connections between contemporary theoretical standpoints while simultaneously contributing to academic communication, the development of education and the preservation of the non-material cultural heritage. Folkloristika is indexed in doiFil and doiSerbia. Digital copies of the Journal are archived in the Digital Repository of the National Library of Serbia. Papers may be submitted in Serbian and English, other languages in agreement with the editors. Research articles submitted should be between 30,000 and 60,000 characters with spaces or app. 6,000 to 9,000 words, including footnotes and bibliography. Those containing separate field or other material as attachments may be up to 80,000 characters. Texts should be in APA Citation Style, and detailed instructions can be found at: http://www.folkloristika.org/site/assets/files/1039/folkloristika-guidelines.pdf.
