Created in 2017 (proponent: E. Ribeiro), Group 2i currently brings together around thirty researchers (integrated members and collaborators) from Portugal, Spain, France and Brazil, regularly hosting several doctoral students. In addition to the launch, in 2019, of a scientific journal (2i Journal), Group 2i regularly organizes scientific activities (‘2i Meeting points’) on the 3 major lines of research developed by the team: Portrait & Representation; Human-Animal-Machine Thresholds; Cartographies of Fiction and Geoliterature.
Team members present a wide range of publications and participate in national and international networks and funded projects. Broadly speaking, the team’s research is focused on analyzing contemporary intermedial and transmedial practices, as well as investigating ways of articulating new media with agents, recipients and historical contexts, as conditions of a displacement and instability of territories, borders and artistic canons. Whether within the group’s research or within the scope of 2i Journal, the connection established between the concepts of intermediality and identity has proven to be especially productive, since not only cultural and media products, as a whole, reflect and challenge the consciousness that we’ve been acquiring of ourselves as human beings, but also because, regardless of its varied applications, contemporary theories on identity are themselves centered on performative, interrelational and intersubjective notions.
The general field of theoretical-epistemological references Group 2i works with is, therefore, vast and epistemologically transversal: from image, identity and (auto)biographical studies, to post-humanism and zoopoetics, to narrative and geoliterary studies associated with research on urban identities and creative cities, and even, from a didactic-pedagogical perspective, with immersive teaching of geolearning type.
