Elsa Peralta
I hold a PhD in Anthropology (University of Lisbon, 2006), and am a senior research fellow at the Centre for Comparative Studies (CEComp), School of Arts & Humanities, University of Lisbon, and an Associate Researcher of the Institute of Social Sciences (ICS), also of the University of Lisbon, Portugal. My work draws on crossing perspectives from anthropology, memory studies and postcolonial studies and focuses on the intersection between private and public modes of remembering past events, in particular the colonial past. In CEComp I coordinate the Research Group CITCOM (Citizenship, Critical Cosmopolitanism, Modernity/ies, (Post)Colonialism) and the Research Line Legacies of Empire and Colonialism in Comparative Perspective. At the present moment I am the PI of the FCT funded project Constellations of Memory: a multidirectional study of postcolonial migration and remembering (PTDC/SOC-ANT/4292/2021) and a Management Committee Member of the COST Action research network, HIDDEN.
