The Portuguese Language Center Camões/UMass Boston, in partnership with the Latin American & Iberian Studies Dept. at UMass Boston and the Consulates General of Portugal, Brazil, and Cabo Verde in Boston, announces the Literature in Portuguese Language Conference 2024 entitled Redefining Narratives: Legacies & Revolutions. This conference highlights criticaldebates on constructing Legacy and Revolution in Contemporary Portuguese-speaking countries’Literature. The main focus of the analysis is to reflect on what the authors in these three areas of Lusophone production may think, how they feel, and ultimately, how they voice their speech at the idea of this theme in the literary canon, either by their juxtaposition or simply by the contact between these writers of the various Portuguese-speaking countries.
We will celebrate the Portuguese-speaking world’s cultures, identities, and diversity by tracing the roots of the Lusophone concept and discourse.
Writers, academic researchers, scholars, teachers, students, the community, and everyone interested in ideas and thoughts will create a memorable debate on the challenges of the Lusophone world.
Guest Writers:
Hugo Gonçalves (Portugal)
Djamila Ribeiro (Brazil)
Francisco Fragosos (Cabo Verde)
Special Guest/Tribute:
Anna Klobucka, Professor of Portuguese, UMass Dartmouth
