Simpósio «Português Global» | IMLR — Londres

Início: Fim: Data de abertura: Data de encerramento: Países: Reino Unido

Estudos Asiáticos, Estudos Luso-Afro-Brasileiros

O Instituto de Investigação em Línguas Modernas (IMLR) da University of London promove o Simpósio «Português Global», a decorrer no dia 11 de junho de 2018 em Londres.

Este simpósio visa explorar a expansão global da língua, literatura e música portuguesas. O impacto linguístico dos lusitanos é reconhecível na América do Sul (Brasil), na África (Angola, Moçambique, Guiné-Bissau, São Tomé e Príncipe e Cabo Verde) e na Ásia (Macau e Timor-Leste). Mas as impressões linguísticas portuguesas se dividiram em áreas fora do império oficial, e o evento visa compreender a natureza das interações interculturais.

Global Portuguese

Date: 11 Jun 2018, 14:00 to 11 Jun 2018, 20:00
Type: Conference / Symposium
Venue: Woburn Room, G22, Ground Floor, Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU

Description

This symposium explores the global expansion of the Portuguese language, literature and music. The linguistic impact of the Lusitanians is recognised in South America (Brazil), Africa (Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, São Tomé and Príncipe, and Cape Verde), and Asia (Macau and East Timor).

But Portuguese linguistic impressions have split into areas outside the official empire and we seek to understand the nature of intercultural interactions. How did a country with limited resources make an impression that outlasted successive imperial powers that followed them? How did the Portuguese bridge the cultural gap between themselves and 'others'? The speakers will use contemporary literary texts, languages spoken in the Lusophone countries, identities constructed, and also live music to bring out the Portuguese imprint in the world.
