As Américas do Sul

This volume is devoted to an examination of the vast range of relations existing between Brazil and its Hispano-American neighbours. The Latin American context in which Brazil is embedded is determined by a multifarious network of bi- and multi-lateral relations that has been given little attention by scholars so far. The volume sets out to make a contribution to a closer engagement with the intercultural dynamics informing those relations. The cross-disciplinary aspect is very marked. Alongside articles from representatives of literary and film studies, philosophy, and the social and political sciences, there are also studies illuminating theological, historical, and anthropological aspects. Discutir as multiplas relacoes do Brasil com os paises hispano-americanos e o objetivo deste volume. O Brasil situa-se em um contexto latino-americano que e constituido por uma rede de intercambios diversificada, que curiosamente tende a passar desapercebida.

As Americas do Sul sao discutidas, assim, atraves de uma variedade de enfoques que envolvem as seguintes areas: critica literaria e cinematografica, filosofia, ciencias sociais e politicas, antropologia, historia e teologia."
