Abstract

For the ninth time since 2006 our international group of mostly senior scholars (but that also includes younger voices, such as Assistant Professors and doctoral students), who are engaged in ongoing research regarding the construction, definition, and interpretation of the Brazilian nation in the work of creative writers, social scientists, filmmakers, literary critics and intellectual historians—collectively referred to as “Interpreters of Brazil—propose to hold, under the auspices of BRASA XVII, an interdisciplinary mini-symposum. This group has previously met at BRASA VIII (Nashville), BRASA IX (New Orleans), BRASA XI (Champaign), BRASA XII (London), BRASA XIII (Providence), BRASA XIV (Rio de Janeiro), and BRASA XVI (Georgetown). It had also been scheduled to meet at BRASA XV (Austin). Though the roster of participants has varied somewhat from meeting to meeting, a few members (Cunha, Resende, Valente, and Zilberman) have participated in most of the congresses, thus ensuring the continuity of our project. This project has resulted in the publication of several scholarly articles in Brazil, the United States, and Europe, including special issues of the Italian journal Letterature d’America in 2011 and 2017, and of the Brazilian journal Conexões Letras in 2015. An issue of Brasil/Brazil: A Journal of Brazilian Literature with a selection of the essays presented at BRASA XVI is currently under preparation for publication.
