Joana Matos Gomes

Joana Matos Gomes has been a contracted researcher at the Institute of Philosophy of the University of Porto since 2019. Her work has primarily focused on the field of Iberian medieval historiography (12th-14th centuries), investigating the role and representation of women in historiographical texts, historiographical translation in the medieval context, and textual criticism, areas in which she has published various research works. She has participated in several national and international research projects dedicated to these themes. More recently, she has been exploring contemporary revisitations of the Middle Ages, particularly in Central and Eastern European cinema and Portuguese literature. Currently, she is the Principal Investigator of a research project at the Institute of Philosophy entitled “Sensory Vision, Spiritual Vision: A Study of Their Expressions in 15th-Century Portuguese Literature.”
