Aversion2agony

Aversion2agony is the first project to analyse and compare journalistic coverage of euthanasia in Portuguese and British societies within the new social reality of public death, (de)codifying practices, social representations, and journalistic meanings associated with the political, religious, and medical dimensions.

It is a project hosted by the Centre for Research and Studies in Sociology (CIES-Iscte) at the University Institute of Lisbon (ISCTE-IUL). Aversion2agony is receiving national funding through a PhD research grant directly awarded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), as part of the project Aversion2agony: A cross-national comparative analysis of journalistic mediation of euthanasia in Portugal and the United Kingdom (Reference 2023.04877.BD).
