Abstract

The Germanic languages investigated by Isabel Soares as an undergraduate student gave way to the Anglo-Portuguese studies she developed as a Master’s and PhD candidate. Now a Professor at the Institute of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Lisbon, she is also the author of two books which she calls “pseudofictional”, because they have an “autobiographical foundation”. Her interest on authors connected to the “unconventional journalism” has brought her closer to literary journalism, so much so that, in 2016, she was elected president of the International Association for Literary Journalism Studies (IALJS). She defines herself as Portuguese with German roots. Today, her experience as a researcher, lover of languages, travels and writing contributes to making the studies on Portuguese literary journalism more visible.
