13h30 - Mia Couto Mia Couto in a conversation with Andre Rezende Benatti Opening
Place: Youtube PPGLetras

The activity promotes a conversation between Mozambican writer Mia Couto and researcher André Rezende Benatti, fostering a dialogue on literature, artistic creation, culture, and contemporary issues. The meeting aims to bring the audience closer to the author, exploring reflections on the creative process, language, and the multiple meanings of writing in the present day.

14h30 - Altamir Botoso, Ana Paula Almeida Mendes Analysis of the mise en abyme device in three contemporary novels Short course
Análise do artifício da Mise en Abyme em três romances contemporâneos
Place: Google Meet

The minicourse “Analysis of the Mise en Abyme Device in Three Contemporary Novels” proposes to examine narratives embedded within other narratives, often making the reading of such texts quite complex. The technique responsible for this layering is known as mise en abyme. Studies on the topic are relatively recent and have increasingly attracted the interest of researchers due to their complexity and theoretical scope.

Based on the corpus Um sopro de vida (2020) by Clarice Lispector, O matador (2008) by Patrícia Melo, and Caetés (2013) by Graciliano Ramos, the proposal is to identify and investigate the effects of this technique in three very different contemporary works, thereby demonstrating how versatile mise en abyme can be and how it can enable more nuanced and elaborate interpretations of literary texts.


18h00 - Bruna Fontes Ferraz An Interval Between Photography and Literature in Annie Ernaux and Sophie Calle Lecture
Place: YouTube

The lecture “An Interval Between Photography and Literature in Annie Ernaux and Sophie Calle” proposes to investigate the space of tension and intersection between image and word in contemporary French production. Drawing on the works of Annie Ernaux and Sophie Calle, the presentation will analyze how photography and writing operate as devices of memory, autobiography, and the construction of reality.

19h15 - Fernando Simplício On the Tracks of Modernity: Cultural Frontiers and the Imaginary in Mad Maria (1980) by Márcio Souza Lecture
Place: YouTube

A reflection on the relationships between literature, history, and culture based on the novel Mad Maria. The session explores how literary narrative mobilizes the social imaginary surrounding the project of modernization in the Amazon, examining tensions between progress, exploitation, and cultural diversity.

From a critical perspective, the lecture discusses the symbolic and cultural boundaries present in the work, highlighting how literature constructs representations of modernity and its impacts on Amazonian territories and populations. In this way, it seeks to understand how the novel articulates memory, history, and fiction to reflect on processes of occupation, circulation, and conflict in the region.

The course discusses how fear, the everyday, and the psychological are articulated in the author’s writing, creating a form of horror that emerges from the familiar and the ordinary.

Drawing on examples of short stories, novels, and films based on his works, the minicourse examines the aesthetic, narrative, and thematic choices involved in the transposition from literary text to audiovisual language, highlighting convergences, shifts, and expressive losses or gains. Aimed at students, researchers, and those interested in literature, cinema, and horror studies, the course offers a space for critical analysis and dialogue between literature and film.

15h00 - Gilmar Hermes Semiotic studies on the aesthetics of Brazilian films and their journalistic approach Lecture
Place: YouTube

The lecture proposes a reflection on the aesthetics of Brazilian cinema from a semiotic perspective, investigating how meanings are produced through images, narratives, framing, and symbolic resources present in films. From this perspective, it also discusses how these works are interpreted, mediated, and presented by cultural journalism.

The presentation seeks to understand how criticism, reporting, and other journalistic formats translate cinematic language for the public. In addition, it addresses the relationships between cinema, media, and the production of meaning in the cultural field. The proposal aims to highlight how journalism contributes to the circulation, interpretation, and aesthetic appreciation of Brazilian cinema. In this way, the lecture articulates cinema, semiotics, and communication within an analytical and reflective framework.

15h30 - Fernando Breda Literature and Slavery in Brazil Short course
Literatura e Escravidão no Brasil
Place: Google Meet

To discuss the importance of slaveholding ideology for the consolidation of the institution of “literature” in Brazil and for the formation of a literary tradition with a singular character in the country. By analyzing how slavery permeates the constitution of the canon and the works of authors such as José de Alencar, Machado de Assis, and Manuel Antônio de Almeida, the aim is to broaden the understanding of the presence of this legacy in literary forms and to deepen the critical reading of such works.

18h00 - Felipe Botelho Correa Brazil at War: A Genealogy of “Racial Democracy” Lecture
Place: YouTube

The lecture “Brazil at War: A Genealogy of ‘Racial Democracy,’” by Professor Felipe Botelho Correa, analyzes the origins and transformations of the concept of “racial democracy” from a historical and transnational perspective. Drawing on the experience of World War II—especially the encounters between Brazilian soldiers and Black soldiers of the U.S. Army’s 92nd Division—the presentation investigates how the term was first formulated outside Brazil and later reappropriated in the postwar period as part of the country’s national self-image.

19h10 - Regina Brito The Portuguese language in motion: diversity and pluricentrism Lecture
Place: YouTube

The lecture “The Portuguese Language in Motion: Diversity and Pluricentrism” seeks to explore the dynamic and heterogeneous nature of Portuguese, a language present in different parts of the world and shaped by a diversity of realities, cultures, and social groups. Drawing on perspectives from Sociolinguistics and Lusophone Studies, the lecture highlights the space of Lusophony, the varieties of Portuguese, and the importance of (re)recognizing linguistic pluricentrism today.

Finally, by articulating theory and practice, the lecture presents possible approaches to linguistic diversity in Basic Education.
