CANCELED: The 2020 Brazilian Literary Spring in the U.S.
The Printemps Littéraire Brésilien is part of a research and educational initiative that is also aims to promote Lusophone literatures around the World. This annual colloquium was originally idealized by professor Leonardo Tonus (Sorbonne Université) to promote and to expand the training of students in institutions of higher education. Since its inception in 2014, the event has become an important space for debates on Brazilian literature, fomenting new readings and enriching experiences around the Portuguese language.
In the 2020 U.S. edition, readings and panels will take place in several cities across the country between February 16th and April 16th. The event is organized in partnership with universities and cultural organizations: Columbia University, Brown University, Indiana University, University of New Mexico, University of Washighton, Oregon Center for Creative Research, among others.
The activities and events were organized by a committee with members from a variety of actors in the literary and publishing world (editors, writers, cultural promoters, educators and students of literature) in Brazil, Europe and the United States.
