Challenging Memories and Rebuilding Identities

<p>Taking an original approach, <em>Challenging Memories and Rebuilding Identities: Literary and Artistic Voices that undo the Lusophone Atlantic </em>explores a selected body of cultural works from Portugal, Brazil and Lusophone Africa. Contributors from various fields of expertise examine the ways contemporary writers, artists, directors, and musicians explore canonical forms in visual arts, cinema, music and literature, and introduce innovation in their narratives, at the same time they discuss the social and historical context they belong to. </p> <p>Introduction, <i>Margarida Rendeiro</i> and <i>Federica Lupati</i></p><p></p><p>1.
