Class Description:: This course is the second half of a two-semester introduction to Global Portuguese literature and culture. Beginning where PORT3501w ended, we will examine Lusophone cultural production of the 20th century, focusing primarily on Brazil, though also reading texts from Portugal and Mozambique. Much of what we will study is related to different modernist traditions. We will read poetry, short stories, and plays. Although PORT3501w is not a prerequisite, it is strongly recommended that anyone planning to take the full sequence take the courses in chronological order. This course is taught in Portuguese, and all of the reading, writing, and speaking will be done in Portuguese.
