Lecture: Literature and the Everyday (Re) Making of Brazil

This presentation introduces important Brazilian writers and the politics of their works in the everyday (re)making of Brazil. Although Brazil concentrates a large population of racialized people, it is still a country with high levels of inequalities. Due to that, there is a history of actions and movements, in Brazil, that has been addressing, in different ways, aspects concerning the country’s issues. Among many of these political actions for social justice, there is literature. That way, many writers, such as Black writers, produce a range of literary works that not only affect and modify discourses that sustain inequalities in Brazil, but also produce new and liberating discourses. Therefore, this presentation will introduce some of these writers and their works. In addition, this presentation will also briefly discuss the politics and impacts of such works.

Moonlight Club Film Screening and Panel Discussion

The film Moonlight Club is a movie about love, joy, acceptance, and happiness. This film has been shown at multiple screenings and festivals in Japan. The three actors, the director, and a Pitzer alum, Makiko Young, who is involved with the film will all be travelling to Pitzer from Kyoto, Japan and New York, New York, respectively. This showing at Pitzer marks the US debut of this film, which has been newly closed captioned in English, specifically for this US premier.
