DEFIL carries out the Brazilian Thinkers extension project

The Department of Philosophy at UFRN (DEFIL) carries out the extension project Brazilian Thinkers Study Group – Ailton Krenak from March 3rd to June 9th, at 3pm, in Auditorium E of CCHLA. The action is organized by professor Federico Sanguinetti, from DEFIL. The university community in general can participate in the action.
The project aims to explore and reflect on the work of national authors, particularly authors who do not belong to a cultural tradition of European and Anglo-American origin.
At this moment, the proposal is to present the thoughts of Ailton Krenak, who is a prominent personality in the field of indigenous culture and political activism. The course aims to address Krenak's thoughts by reading two written texts — the works Encontros and Ideias para postpone o do mundo, which collect testimonies, interviews and lectures — and through the projection of audiovisual materials that document the author's trajectory.
