INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

CARMEN MONEREO TAKES PART IN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LITERATURE AND CULTURES

On 23 November 2022, at 15h10, CIAC collaborator Carmen Monereo presented the communication “What we know about patronage in Africa” at the III International Conference on Caribbean, Iberoamerican and African Literatures and Culture: Encounters, Exchanges and Diversions in Difference. Her contribution was part of the round table “Transatlantic and imaginary movements on Africa and Ibero-America (Literature, Culture, and representation).” The conference aims to establish itself as a privileged space for research, reflection, and debate in favor of scientific and cultural research. The event took place at the Universidad del Atlántico, in Barranquilla (Colombia)—and also online—between the 23rd and 25th of November.

The conference follows previous editions, held at the Institute of Educational Sciences of Luanda (ISCED), in Luanda (Angola), in 2019; and at the Zambezi University (UniZambeze), in Mozambique (2021). For this year’s edition, the conference combines content on literature, culture, and language from countries of the Caribbean, Ibero-America, and Africa—especially from Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries.

The event provides room for debate and development of international research networks, discussing contemporary issues across several fields of knowledge—from linguistic policies, legal-economic and sociocultural policies in the Caribbean, Ibero-American and African spaces of official Portuguese expression—through the critical problematization of the concept of lusophony and hispanophony. It aims to reach the press, intellectual history, books and culture, publishing, the arts, and the impact of women’s writing in the context of thought(s) and contemporary struggles for their rights.
