Nota biográfica
P. Antunes is an anthropologist working in the fields of anthropology of religion and critical heritage studies. His Ph.D. thesis at the ISCTE was based on ethnographic research on the revival of the ritual practice of "Encomendação das Almas", a death cult that is part of the Lenten repertoire of popular Catholicism in Beira Baixa. He has developed a sensory methodological approach to the study of affects and embodied perceptions of the sacred experienced by practitioners in ritual performance. Pedro is a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa and a researcher at CRIA. He has recently developed the project on the digital heritagisation of Jewish-Sephardic culture, focusing on the relationship between virtual heritage communities and the use of digital technologies in the re-articulation of the suppressed pan-Mediterranean Sephardic identity.
