VOICES AND WRITINGS IN THE DIFFERENT SPACES OF THE PORTUGUESE LANGUAGE
The Postgraduate Program in Vernacular Letters (PPGLEV) of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) announces the
I International Congress
Voices and Writings in the Different Spaces of the Portuguese Language
The event comprises the activities of the international research project (CAPES-PrInt) developed by the PPGLEV alongside researchers affiliated to 46 foreign institutions. It aims at reflecting upon the varieties and challenges of the Portuguese Language, and the multiple manifestations of Portuguese Language Literatures.
Throughout three days, professors and students from Brazil and abroad will present and debate investigations associated to the Portuguese Language, Brazilian Literature, Portuguese Literature, and African Literatures.
Thus, they will shed light on the sixth most spoken language in the world, by focusing on the countries where Portuguese is an official language, and on this language’s presence in different nations, especially in universities where there are researchers on the Portuguese Language, and on Portuguese Language Literatures.
This year, in addition to Brazil, the following countries are represented: Angola, Austria, Argentina, Canada, Cape Verde, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Guinea-Bissau, Hungary, Italy, Mozambique, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and United States.
