The International Colloquium ‘Circulations in Portuguese: Bodies, Cultures and Textualities’ brings together researchers from various universities for an interdisciplinary reflection on the dynamics of cultural, textual and symbolic circulation within the Portuguese-speaking world.

At a time when the humanities are increasingly confronted with issues of mobility, displacement and cultural transit, the event aims to discuss the ways in which literatures, bodies, images and cultural practices traverse geographies, temporalities and disciplinary boundaries. Drawing on comparative, postcolonial and transnational perspectives, the colloquium will address themes such as migration and exile, Atlantic textualities, intermediality, cultures in circulation and ecologies of difference.

The event will feature lectures, round-table discussions and presentations of academic papers, establishing itself as a space for critical dialogue on the multiple forms of circulation that traverse the contemporary world in Portuguese.

The activities form part of the Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme ‘Circulations in Portuguese: Bodies, Cultures, and Textualities’, coordinated by Luca Fazzini.
