Grupo de Estudos teatrais Gambiarra

Certificate with the Directorate of Research Groups of CNPq, Gambiarra Study Group is part of the Project Author by Author: Portuguese Literature and History in the light of theatre. Started in 1997, actually subordinated to the Canons: traditions / reconfiguration research line  of the Post-Graduation Program in Portuguese Literature of the Faculty of Philosophy, Letters and Human Sciences of the University of São Paulo, or Project, under the coordination of PHd Professor Flavia Maria Corradin, objective:

a) the examination of theatrical texts (or forte as dramatic) whose theme and/or motif is based on life and/or the work of Portuguese authors;

b) the examination of theatrical texts (or strong dramatic texts) whose theme and/or motif are aspects, facts or characters of Portuguese History;

c) the use of theatrical techniques and resources that do not teach Portuguese Literature and History.

Therefore, the Project develops in two aspects:

a) rereading the life and work of authors of Portuguese Literature and/or episodes and characters of History created by other creators, especially playwrights. The intuition is to review current critical concepts in critical bibliography, around authors, works, themes, in addition to disseminating contemporary Portuguese dramaturgy;

b) contribute didatically and methodologically to the teaching of Portuguese Literature and History, creatively presenting the life and work of authors or historical figures. For this aspect, the Project created the Gambiarra Theater Studies Group, currently under the direction of and coordination of PHd Professor Flavia Maria Corradin

Group (Pt. Oriente) Portugal and the East: Literatures, Languages ​​and Cultures

Large Group (Pt. Oriente) Portugal and the East: Literatures, Languages ​​and Cultures was formed in 2010, not to mention the repercussions of the Congress "Visões de Macau e do Oriente nas Literaturas de Língua Portuguesa: Medos e Seduções", held in Florença, Italy and the activities of the Group's leader The project "Orion. Portuguese Orientalism in literature and other arts (19th - 20th centuries)", inserted in the Centro de Estudos Comparadas da Universidade de Lisboa. We seek to integrate researchers from different Areas and Programs with the objective of establishing a research approach on the relations between Portugal, the East and other spaces, which identifies their artistic, cultural and political dimensions.

The interdepartmental group, integrating the DLCV and the DLO. Spaces such as Goa, Macau and Timor, among others, have unique relevance to the cultural interfaces of a geography that does not occur in terrestrial continuity, but rather as important points of maritime routes. As the end of two European and Asian empires, in the 20th century, the emergence of new perspectives is necessary for the intercultural processes that involve these regions. In 2011, two members of the Group participated in the III Simelp, in Macau. This same year, the Group presented at the DLCV Congress on interdisciplinary studies.

Female Authorship Research Group

The group studies literary texts of female authorship, especially the second goal of the sector. XX, from a diversified theoretical approach, for all gender studies and feminist criticism. The group's proposal is to reread non-hegemonic discourses, dismantling stereotypes created by patriarchal criticism that has only recently been dominant in the academy. It is intended to promote the debate about female authorship writing in its production contexts: as relations between women, history and society and the formation of a social identity, as well as quests such as gender and rupture, eroticism, alterity and subversity, without descurar the aesthetic element of two studied texts, so It is not about restricting literature to a narrow, sexist or misândric field of vision, thereby incurring the same reductionism. The enrichment of the discussions on the literary representations of women and the singularities referring to the activities of the writers happens through the interdisciplinary opening, through the participation of researchers linked to other areas of research in the Human Sciences, eventually invited to participate in the group meetings.

Eça Group

The Eça Group aims to study the work of the Portuguese writer Eça de Queirós, as well as his critical fortune. Privileging an approach of Marxist fundamentals, but open to other approaches, the group intends to refer to Queirosian work, taking as a presupposition that the author of Os Maias was always a critical critic of the Portuguese bourgeoisie and aristocracy, even in his last works. In addition, the group also aims to discuss the canonical readings of the writer, who, from certain phases of his work, represents either a romantic author, a fin-de-siècle aristocrat, or a stylist of the Portuguese language, among other people who are attributed to him.

Thinking Goa

Present project focuses on re-creating the history of Portuguese-language literature of Goa, the ancient colony of the Portuguese empire in India, privileging, on the one hand, its relations with the other cultural, intellectual and artistic manifestations of that society and, on the other hand, the relations that Here we can establish between this literature and others (those of the Portuguese language or the same Indian literature of the English language, among others), as well as between the cultural context in which it is forged and other correlating cultural contexts. If some important work has been dedicated to the task of writing a sketch of the history of Goan literature, it has not yet been investigated extensively and no more detailed analyzes have been carried out on the works that constitute it, especially in its relationship with the reality of the ancient colony. There are also very few comparative works, relating literature and the historical and cultural context of the world to other literatures and other cultural and intellectual contexts. In pragmatic terms, or objective project:

1) the exhaustive cataloging and reproduction (as long as possible) of literature and printing production based on Portuguese language, as well as the complementation of the inventory of the already existing Indo-Portuguese artistic heritage;

2) the drafting of a history of Portuguese-language literature that attributes meaning to artistic production in the intellectual daily life of the community, as well as exploring the various meanings of this literary production and its cultural context, we can gain in its relationship with other literatures and other cultures, giving preference Those two countries have the official Portuguese language;

3) the strengthening and strengthening of academic relations between India and Brazil in the area of ​​Literature, in particular the relations between Goa University and the University of São Paulo.
