Please join us for lecture by Dr. L煤cia Helena Marques Ribeiro, visiting scholar at UPEI, who will introduce us to Portuguese literature through the work of four 20th century authors: 脡rico Ver铆ssimo, Guimar茫es Rosa, Clarice Lispector, and Jo茫o de Melo.
The presentation will be in Portuguese with consecutive interpretation into English.
Dr. Ribeiro is a professor and researcher of Portuguese literature at the University of Brasilia, Brazil, with a focus on Portuguese literature from the Azores and mainland Portugal following the 25th of April Revolution, as well as the colonial wars in Africa and post-colonialism. Her research also expands into children's literature, exploring themes of myth, psychoanalysis, and symbolism in childhood.
