Portuguese 221 - TOPICS PORT/BRAZ LIT AND CULT

Topics course. This course examines Brazil from the standpoint of its regional diversity, from which the country's cultural richness is drawn. We study works of literature, visual culture, music and culinary history, in order to discuss Brazil's regional, economic and racial differences, for the purpose of analyzing its identity as a multidimensional nation. Moreover, because of the country's size and geographical location, students interested in comparative studies within Latin America have a chance to look at each of Brazil's regions in relation to its closest South American and Caribbean neighbors.

Topic: Brazil x Five: A Journey through Its Multicultural Regions.
