O UCL SELCS (University College London ― Spanish, Portuguese & Latin American Studies) acolhe no dia 19 de outubro de 2016, às 17:00, um seminário sobre literatura brasileira subordinado ao tema: "Deslocamentos, descentramentos: romances sem fronteiras" / "Displacements, decenterings: novels without frontiers", uma organização conjunta da FAPESP e The British Academy.

Ementa:

Embora uma ferramenta importante nos diversos processos de construção da nação e a identidade nacional em todo o mundo, desde o seu surgimento e consolidação nos séculos XVIII e XIX, o romance nunca reconheceu quaisquer fronteiras. Através da transmigração e transculturação, o romance tem desafiado o que constitui um sistema de governo ou nação e o que é interno ou externo a esses limites.

Programação:

• Considerations on the Brazilian rise of the novel. Dr. Jorge de Almeida, Teoria da Literatura e Literatura Comparada, Universidade de São Paulo
•  'Foreign Places, Strange Words: Defamiliarization and the Novel in the Burtons’ Iracema and Ng’s Upheaval in Far Cathay’. Dr Ross G. Forman, English and Comparative Literary Studies, Warwick
•  "Unsterning" Machado de Assiss's The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas. Professora Sandra Vasconcelos, Professora de Literatura Inglesa, Universidade de São Paulo

Local: Foster Tribunal, terceiro andar, sala 307 (WC1E 6BT), Londres.

Seminar on Brazilian literature: "Displacements, decenterings: novels without frontiers" (FAPESP/ The British Academy), at UCL SELCS, London, this Wednesday 19 October 2016 5pm. Wine receptions follow each seminar.

Though an important tool in the diverse processes of nation-building and national identity across the globe, since its rise and consolidation in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the novel has never recognized any frontiers. Through transmigration and transculturation, it has challenged what constitutes a polity or nation and what is internal or foreign to these boundaries:
