The mission of this group is to read contemporary texts that engage with current issues on Brazilian culture, literature, and society; bridging disciplines such as literature, anthropology, urban studies, architecture, law, and visual studies. From the auto-ethnography of the Yanomami shaman Davi Kopenawa, to the wave of protests of 2013, to literary works from the peripheries of S├úo Paulo and the favelas of Rio and the environmental issues on the Amazon rainforest. Our groupÔÇÖs idea is to focus on recent debates that work on a critical displacement of fixed categoriesÔÇösuch as subject and object, margin and center, territory and stateÔÇöby trying to develop new ways of reading the interplay between aesthetic, political, and social discourses.
