- On building bridges between academia and society: challenges and opportunities in the dissemination of knowledge in literary and culture studiesPublication . Lindemann Lino, Verena; Anzini, PatríciaThis poster contributes to the reflection on the challenges and opportunities of the dissemination of scientific knowledge, particularly in the areas of Literary and Culture Studies. To do so, we use the metaphor of building bridges, here taken both as a concept and a practical tool. Since its relational nature necessarily implies a transdisciplinary and interdependent perspective and approach, the metaphor allows us to critically reflect on our ability to establish and maintain connections with others and the world. How does bridge-building help us to connect academia and society, as well as the different actors that combine these sectors? How can we, as researchers, move our knowledge beyond academia? What are some of the specific tools that facilitate access to this knowledge?This poster is a kind of “self-reflexive portfolio in progress”, which is divided into three parts. The first briefly introduces the challenges, obstacles, and specific questions related to the fields of Literary and Culture Studies. The second advances the meaning of the notion of building bridges and its relevance for the dissemination of knowledge within the referenced disciplines. Finally, the third features some opportunities and solutions that are already in place in dialogue with our own contribution: the fostering of dialogic research and teaching practices that help building bridges beyond Academia. This part offers some suggestions for the researcher's practice and inter-relational approach, as well as alternative forms of dissemination. By making knowledge dissemination more accessible and participatory, it may become a tool for bridging scientific production beyond the academic community, thus contributing to the visibility and relevance of knowledge created in the Humanities for contemporary societies.
- The grand conviviality: Ana de Castro Osório and the Luso-Brazilian destinyPublication . Anzini, PatríciaIn 1923, the Portuguese writer, pedagogue, and feminist activist Ana de Castro Osório, travelled throughout Brazil to deliver a series of lectures, published in Lisbon in 1924 as The Grand Alliance. This paper explores how her eponymous São Paulo lecture articulated and enacted modes of conviviality as she promoted her titular vision of a grand alliance between Portugal and its former colony. She emphasized the two nations’ ‘mutual worth, dignity, and essential similarity’ – in Gilroy’s words – to advocate strengthening Luso-Brazilian cultural ties at a time when many Brazilian writers and artists were engaged in a defiant cultural nationalism. However, she rooted this sense of ‘essential similarity’ in the ‘grand’ racial heritage of the Portuguese and their Brazilian ‘children’, and prophesied their shared cultural supremacy. My paper also addresses this potential dark side of similarity as a basis for conviviality.
