Paul Melo e Castro completed his Ph.D. entitled ‘Aspects of the Representation of 1960s Lisbon in the Novel, the Photobook and Film’ in 2008. He is currently Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the University of Leeds. His research interests include twentieth-century Portuguese literature, film and photography, with a particular focus on the city in literature; detective fiction; documentary film; street photography; and the photobook. His current research concerns Goan literature in Portuguese, partly in relation to other Lusophone postcolonial literatures and to postcolonial theory more generally.
