Announcing the Publication of PLCS 40-41: Viver e escrever em trânsito entre Angola e Portugal: Entrevistas e ensaios

We are pleased to announce that Portuguese Literary & Cultural Studies (PLCS) 40-41, “Viver e escrever em trânsito entre Angola e Portugal: Entrevistas e ensaios,” is now available! You can find this issue as well as all back issues available for free on the journal’s website.

PLCS 40/41 tem como foco a experiência pessoal e a produção literária de escritores e escritoras cujas vidas têm transitado de diferentes maneiras e em diferentes épocas entre Angola e Portugal. O grupo destas pessoas dificilmente pode ser abrangido com um único termo, como migrantes, refugiados/as, africanos/as da diáspora, afrodescendentes, afropeus, afropolitanos etc. Optou-se, neste projeto, pelo termo “pessoas em trânsito” com o intuito de abordar as mais diversas experiências migratórias entre Angola e Portugal e as suas repercussões na literatura. Este número inclui, por um lado, a transcrição de seis entrevistas – a Ana Paula Tavares, Aida Gomes, Kalaf Epalanga, Raquel Lima, Yara Monteiro e Zetho Cunha Gonçalves – originalmente gravadas para o documentário Viver e escrever em trânsito: entre Angola e Portugal  (2021). Por outro lado, inclui ensaios teóricos e estudos sobre obras dos/as entrevistados/as bem como de outra escritora em trânsito entre Angola e Portugal, Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida.

PLCS 38/39 Não há pensamento sobre o ensino da literatura sem a pergunta recorrente e provocatória: “Para que serve, afinal, a literatura?”. O presente volume pretende refletir sobre o ensino das literaturas em português, considerando os eventuais dilemas éticos e políticos subjacentes à prática pedagógica dos professores. Os artigos e recensões aqui reunidos procuram dar espaço à indagação sobre as aulas de literatura nos diversos níveis de ensino e em diferentes geografias, quer sejam de língua oficial portuguesa ou outras. Contamos ainda com uma antologia de textos literários dedicados à experiência, ao mesmo tempo comum e extraordinária, de se aprender e de se ensinar literatura.

Announcing the Publication of PLCS 33: Ocean Crossings

We are pleased to announce that Portuguese Literary & Cultural Studies (PLCS) 33, “Ocean Crossings,” is now available! You can find this issue as well as all back issues available for free on the journal’s website.

The theme of the seas has long been a central topic in scholarship on the Lusophone world, but more recent research has invested ocean crossings with new relevance and urgency. Instead of focusing on the stereotypical ocean crossings of the Portuguese maritime expansion, this special issue brings together a diversity of approaches focused on the “less obvious” sea mobilities within the Lusophone world, those associated with labor, brutality, precariousness, and indentured migration. Included in this volume are discussions of racialization, migration, colonialism, and labor.
