Support for University
Activities
Portuguese Writer-in-Residence
The Portuguese Writer in Residence program sponsored
by the Portuguese Studies Program was inaugurated during the academic
year 2001-2002. This year the author Pepetela was at Berkeley
during the month of April. Pepetela is a published poet novelist
whose works had been previously read by students in Portuguese
Literature Classes. During his stay at Berkeley, Pepetela, whose
residency was co-sponsored by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese
and by the Townsend Center for the Humanities, was available
on a daily basis to all students and faculty who wished to discuss
any matter related to his work. Additionally, Pepetela visited
all classes of Portuguese, and participated in several events
held during his residency. The residency was extremely successful
and rewarding, and the PSP is looking forward to the 2003-2004
academic year. The Portuguese writer Lidia Jorge has been invited
by PSP to come to Berkeley as the 2003-2004 Portuguese Writer
in Residence. Hopefully, Ms. Jorge will accept the invitation
and the PSP will have the honor of her presence during the spring
of 2004.
The seminar will provide a forum for students interested in exploring
the interface of folklore and anthropology. Grades will be based
on classroom participation, including at least one presentation
in class, and a term research paper.
Library Acquisitions
Once again the PSP renewed its grant pf $2,000.00
for the purchase of Portuguese materials. As in the past, this
grant will be matched
by the UC Berkeley Library, and has resulted in dramatically
improving an already impressive collection of Portuguese literature,
history, and social science. In Spring 2003, PSP awarded $1,500
for Ann Marie Mitchell’s highly successful trip to Portuguese
cities and the Azores to improve the selection and acquisition
of Portuguese materials. Mostly due to the grants received from
PSP over the years, the UC Berkeley Library has been able to
purchase a very large number of Portuguese Books, and now has
one of the largest collections of Portuguese books in the United
States. Please see attached list of purchases.
Additionally, the
PSP donated to the Bancroft Library a copy of Footprints in the
soil: A Portuguese-California Remembers
by Rose Peters Emery, and edited by the Portuguese Heritage Publications.
Ms. Peters was also one of the people interviewed for the Portuguese
Oral History Project being conducted by the Bancroft Library.
This highly illustrated book is the first of its kind to catalog
the Portuguese presence in California focusing the activities
of the Holy Ghost Celebrations throughout the State.
Regional
Oral History Office (ROHO)
For the third year, the PSP has continued
its commitment to supporting the collection of oral histories of
members of the
Portuguese-American community in California with a grant of $5,000.00.
In 2000 Kathy Zvanovec convened the Portuguese Oral History Project
Advisory Committee . At that time, ROHO provided a grant matching
the $5,000 granted by the PSP in Spring 2000. The PSP and ROHO
approached the Department of Spanish and Portuguese with the
project, and the Department expressed interest in having its
students of Portuguese work on oral history projects as part
of their training. At the LAEF conference in Spring 2001, Kathy
Zvanovec made the oral history project a point of community outreach.
With themes and strategies now decided, the ROHO project is set
to begin interviews. In Spring 2002 PSP awarded an additional
grant in the amount of $5,000.00 in order to expand the number
of interviewees.
The Advisory Committee is composed of the following
members:
Deolinda Adão, LAEF, PSP Coordinator, Graduate Student,
Department of Spanish and Portuguese.
Duarte Batista, Supreme Secretary & Treasurer, Portuguese
Union of the State of California (UPEC)
Richard Candida Smith, Acting Director, ROHO
Donald Warrin, Professor Emeritus, California State University,
