Portuguese: Transculturality and Gender in Contemporary literature

Education facts

Code: GPR2XA

The course includes in-depth studies of a number of representative contemporary literary works from Portuguese-speaking Africa, Portugal and Brazil. The works are contextualised in their specific socio-cultural, political and historical context and analysed primarily with respect to issues related to post-coloniality, gender and transcultural identities. Through the theoretical texts we deepen the understanding of some central post-colonial concepts and transcultural themes, such as luso-tropicalism, hybridity, cultural translation and migration. We will study their relevance to the cultural understanding of the Portuguese-speaking communities of today.
