GoingToMeet

This Conference will provide a forum on the Portuguese Diaspora and on some of its most significant features as observed from a variety of disciplinary fields (literary, linguistic, sociological, historical, cultural, and others). The event will be open to participants world-wide interested in all forms of narrating the Portuguese diaspora across the media, discussing diasporic experience, and exploring the effects on both those who made it happen and those who remained behind. 1928 was chosen as a tentative temporal boundary and also as a way of celebrating the publication of Os Emigrantes by Ferreira de Castro, a key-novel about the Portuguese Diaspora in Brazil.
