Voices, Glances, Memories: Commemoration of the Centenary of José Cardoso Pires
José Cardoso Pires (1925–1998) is considered as an indispensable reference in 20th-century Portuguese literary history. His works offer profound analyzes of the intricate interplay between power, identity, and memory. Through a distinctive narrative style and acute social observation, he chronicled Portugal's social transformations and individual destinies during the latter half of the 20th century.

Through multi-dimensional visualization and various secondary metrics, we not only delineate temporal changes in emotions such as anger across dimensions of length, frequency, and intensity, as well as the lexicon of emotion-bearing words in […]
