Les textes oraux - vers, histoires, devinettes et cantiques - transportes par les navires portuguais ont pu survivre jusqu'a nos jours a travers d'innombrables vestiges en Inde et au Sri Lanka, jouant un role fondamental dans la creation et la preservation d'une expression culturelle luso-indienne bien nette. Cette expression s'est developpee tout au long de siecles de contact, contribuant a la promotion de nouvelles formes d'identite culturelle et de cohesion sociale. Les peuples luso-indiens habitent un monde spirituel tisse d'alterite, situe a mi-chemin entre les realites portuguaises et indiennes. Leur mode de vie est en soi symbole de transformation, car en lui viennent se rejoindre continents, races, langues et pratiques religieuses, au sein d'un syncretisme singulier compose d'elements dont l'origine remonte au Portugal, a l'Afrique et a l'Asie.

Um estudo de uma cantiga em crioulo indo-português da comunidade de descendentes de portugueses da costa oriental do Sri Lanka, gravada pelo autor em pesquisa de campo, incluindo uma orientação à história e persistência da língua portuguesa crioula na ilha. Relata a origem do poema “Cantiga de Ceilão” de Jorge de Sena e a relevância dos versos para o pensamento e a situação do poeta, separado da língua portuguesa.

With the rebelliousness characteristic of his self-description as an “experimental youth,” Murilo Mendes creates a critical distance between his poetic consciousness and his liberty of action. With the term, he retrospectively characterizes his entire literary production, from the poetry of the 1930s to the 1960s and 70s. To be indisciplined is to challenge norms and introduce thematic and graphic innovations, such as linguistic play, kitsch, graffiti, miniaturization and new tendencies of visual arts and electronic communications. Murilo is always attentive to the independence of the word and the musicality of poetry. Indiscipline is his self-described source of expression and method, thus a discipline in reverse that motives his poetic imagination

This study analyzes the oral traditions of Sri Lanka Creole Portuguese as a syncretism of European, African, and Asian sources, evidenced in literary themes, linguistic practice, and cultural traditions. Resulting musical, dramatic, and textual practices play a central role in defining tradition and maintaining group identity in the creole communities. Both the co-existence and the interrelationship of oral texts establish traditions which contribute to a system of creole culture that spread throughout Asia. References are primarily to Sri Lankan and Indian materials collected by scholars in the late nineteenth century and during my field work in the 1970s and 1980s. Sri Lankan verses refer to the east coast Burghers of Bat-ticaloa and Trincomalee and to the Kaffirs of Puttalam. This study also presents for the first time a unique source for data and comparative analysis from the H. Nevill collection at the British Library, which is an extensive manuscript of Sri Lankan Creole texts...

Em edição paga por Oswald de Andrade, romance de Patrícia Galvão passou quase despercebido em seu lançamento, mas hoje vem recebendo cada vez mais atenção da crítica como obra-prima do romance social urbano e um dos grandes textos perdidos do modernismo. Apoiado numa montagem visual e cinematográfica, combina, numa prosa sintética e concisa, o retrato da vida paulistana de cinco trabalhadoras do Brás com a denúncia social.

Um estudo das conferências acadêmicas que pronunciou Joaquim Nabuco, embaixador do Brasil em Washington, D.C., na Universidade de Yale e mais cinco universidades americanas durante o período 1908-1909. Nabuco volta a Camões como exemplo do amor a uma língua e uma cultura, das quais o Brasil seria a maior realização, e aproxima o espírito do nacionalismo das duas grandes nações como exemplos para a política do pan-americanismo da época.
