We are glad to announce that the Brazilian Association of Japanese Studies is organising the XIII International Congress of Japanese Studies in Brazil (CIEJB) and the XXVI National Meeting of University Professors of Language, Literature and Culture (ENPULLCJ), which, due to the coronavirus outbreak, has been postponed to the period from 17 to 19 March 2021.
The International Congress of Japanese Studies in Brazil (CIEJB) is South America's largest international congress for Japanese studies, and researchers have been gathering every other year in different Brazilian universities since 2000 to share their work. The National Meeting of University Professors of Language, Literature and Culture (ENPULLCJ) used to be an annual event, which first took place in 1990 but, since 2010, it's become a biannual event happening in tandem with CIEJB. This twin event, themed "Integrating and Building New Paradigms in Japanese Studies" for this edition, seeks to bring together different researchers fom the field of Japanese studies and broaden the scope of their research, acting in the improvement and diffusion of Japanese studies in the cerrado, in Brazil, and in the world.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all aforementioned events will take place online, and participants can only apply for oral presentations, which will be broadcast on public platforms. Thus, panel and poster applications will not be available. The organising commitee hopes researchers, university professors, and students from Brazil and abroad can use this opportunity to actively exhcange opinions and informations about Japanese studies.
