Juliana de Albuquerque
Juliana de Albuquerque submitted her PhD thesis in November 2021 to University College Cork, Ireland, where she was co-supervised by Professor Gert Hofmann at the German Department and Professor Alessandro Salice, at the Department of Philosophy.
Juliana’s doctorate focuses on the interrelation between the philosophical, scientific and literary discourses in Germany during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, with an emphasis on Goethe’s notion of Bildung as it is reflected in the portrayal of women in his literary work.
Juliana has a Bachelor’s degree in Law from Universidade Católica de Pernambuco, Brazil, and received her Masters degree in Philosphy from Tel Aviv University, Israel. Her MA dissertation was supervised by Professor Ilit Ferber. It examined the influence of Leibniz on Hölderlin’s and Hegel’s views on tragedy, and it explored questions in aesthetics, literature, and moral philosophy.
While working on her MA Juliana spent 18 months at Universität Konstanz, in Germany, as a research and teaching assistant at the Lehrstuhl für Bürgerliches Recht, Antike Rechtsgeschichte, Römisches Recht und Neuere Privatrechtsgeschichte, working under the supervision of Professor Matthias Armgardt. During that time she was also a member of the research project: JuriLog (German Research Foundation [DFG]/ Agence Nationale de la Recherche [ANR]).
Juliana’s main fields of research are German Literature, German Philosophy and Intellectual History.
Her academic activities at University College Cork during the last five years have included teaching German intellectual history, with an emphasis on German Classicism and Idealism, and German Jewish thought and literature, from the age of the Enlightenment to pre-War Germany. In collaboration with Professor Gert Hofmann, Juliana edited the book Anti/Idealism (De Gruyter, 2019). This book is a collection of essays presented during the first conference of the Anti/Idealism & Anti/Realism Research Network, in June 2017.
Since August 2021 Juliana has coordinated a research group dedicated to the study of Contemporary Jewish Philosophy and Politics at LABÔ – the Laboratory for Politics, Behavior and Media of Fundação São Paulo, the maintaining institution of the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo, Brazil. At present, the activities of the research group focus on the discussion of literary and philosophical texts related to the theme of the Dialogue between Jews and Germans. Juliana is also an associate researcher at the Center for Jewish Studies at the University of São Paulo, Brazil.
In addition to her work within academic institutions, since 2018 Juliana has been writing a fortnightly column for the leading Brazilian newspaper Folha de S. Paulo, where she discusses themes from philosophy and literature. In the last four years, she has written essays on Spinoza, Goethe, G.W.F. Hegel, Friedrich Nietzsche, Hannah Arendt, Gershom Scholem, Elias Canetti, Isaac Bashevis Singer and others.

This article aims at discussing some of the functions that demons and other supernatural beings have in the short stories of Isaac Bashevis Singer. It examines texts by Singer in which the demon appears either as a character or as narrator in an attempt to clarify what is precisely modern in Singer’s literary approach to the folklore of the Jews from Eastern Europe. In the stories by Singer we find dybbukim, imps and domestic demons who live behind the stove, people who pretend to be demons in order to have their way in life, and also actual demons who take charge of the writer’s pen to tell stories related to the destruction of the Polish Jews in the 20th century.
RESUMO: O presente trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar uma defesa da autonomia intelectual de Simone de Beauvoir em relação ao pensamento de Jean-Paul Sartre. Para isso, será feita uma breve análise do papel que literatura e filosofia possuem no desenvolvimento da obra beauvoariana, demonstrando que a sua produção intelectual carrega em si uma importância própria.

Autora investiga como a mudança na ideia de masculinidade, acelerada por transformações sociais, abriu espaço também para expressões políticas baseadas em ideias preconceituosas.
Livro lançado nos EUA e na Inglaterra destaca autoras que tiveram a coragem de adotar posições dissidentes diante de eventos históricos, movimentos sociais e ideologias. Entre as características que unem muitas delas está a crítica ao feminismo.

97 mins – Sweden 1957 – Subtitles – Dir: Ingmar Bergman
Starring: Gunnar Björnstrand, Bengt Ekerot and Nils Poppe
This allegorical drama – centred on a medieval knight who challenges Death to a game of chess in order to postpone his demise – remains fascinating as a study of faith in crisis.
**Special Announcement**
This screening of The Seventh Seal will be followed by a talk entitled
'Ingmar Bergman & The Human Condition: A Discussion on Film and Philosophy'
by Juliana de Albuquerque.
Juliana de Albuquerque has been a student of Ingmar Bergman’s cinema for many years. In 2014 she was awarded a creative residence at The Bergman Estate on Fårö Island, the location where Bergman shot Persona (1966) and lived for the last forty years of his life.
Juliana is currently working on a doctorate in German Literature & Philosophy at University College Cork.
This winter she has also been teaching an adult education course on Existentialism.
In her talk at the Triskel Arts Centre, Juliana will discuss Bergman’s work in connection with philosophy. She will also talk about the time she spent at The Bergman Estate, and how that contributed to her understanding of Bergman's oeuvre.

Quais são as semelhanças e as diferenças entre Simone de Beauvoir e Anaïs Nin? Nascidas na França, no começo do século vinte, ambas participaram ativamente da vida artística e intelectual parisiense. Simone de Beauvoir, através do círculo de autores e acadêmicos ligados ao meio universitário e político. Anaïs Nin, através da sua convivência com escritores e artistas marginais (como escritor Henry Miller), bem como através do seu interesse e subsequente envolvimento com a psicanálise (principalmente através da tradução da obra de Otto Rank para a língua inglesa).
Simone de Beauvoir e Anaïs Nin pensaram sobre o feminismo partir das suas experiências de vida e, por isso mesmo, acabaram desenvolvendo ideias distintas sobre a luta pela emancipação feminina. Neste evento, nós iremos discutir sobre as diferenças entre os projetos autobiográficos de Simone de Beauvoir e Anaïs Nin, e como essas diferenças acabam se desenvolvendo em dois modos distintos, porém complementares, de enxergar o feminismo.
