DLLEM promotes round table on romance An infinite sadness

The Department of Modern Foreign Languages ​​and Literatures (DLLEM), in partnership with the Postgraduate Program in Language Studies (PPgEL), will hold on September 14th a round table discussion on the novel “An Infinite Sorrow”, by Brazilian author Antônio Xerxenesky. The conference starts at 2pm in the main auditorium of Instituto Ágora. Registration is due until the day of the event at SIGAA.
The meeting discusses issues of psychoanalysis and dialogue with other arts and traditions. Participating in the panel are professors Wiebke Röben Xavier and Rosanne Bezerra de Araújo, both from UFRN, and professor Tito Lívio Cruz Romão, from the Federal University of Ceará (UFC). The debate addresses the relationship between Brazilian literature and that of other countries, and the way in which writing is permeated by knowledge and arts.
Furthermore, the debaters will discuss the international circulation of Brazilian literary works, such as the work of Xerxenesky, which was translated into French. The author is very important to national literature, having produced other novels, in addition to being the translator into Portuguese of several famous works, such as “1984” by George Orwell and “Um romance luminoso” by Mario Levrero.
