  • The Locations and Relocations of Lusophone Studies
    The Locations and Relocations of Lusophone Studies josiah blackmore harvard university “ usophone studies,” or the range of topics and methodologies centered on Lthe study of the Portuguese-speaking world, is a relatively recent disciplinary designation with origins in Portuguese studies and Luso-Brazilian studies. As a field, Lusophone studies encompasses the study of Portugal and Portuguese- speaking countries and communities outside of Portugal, such as those in Africa (Angola, Mozambique, São Tomé and Príncipe, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea) and in Asia (e.g., Macau, Timor, and India) but is typically exclusive of Brazil. Lusophone studies, therefore, takes as its collective matter of analysis a vast geographical arena south and east of Portugal with a variety of cultures and national and ethnic identities that at one point existed under the umbrella of Portuguese colonialism. The extended geographical arena of the field also supports a practice of interdisciplinary scholarship that reaches out- side of traditional literary studies and history to include cinema studies, dias- poric studies, or gender and sexuality studies that are commensurate with developments in other humanities disciplines. The current configurations of Lusophone studies raise the question of disci- plinary labels and scholarly practices, which in turn reveal a politics of identity and even a struggle for survival of a comparatively small field in the North Amer- ican academy. Entrenched biases or geopolitical realities have long affected Luso- phone studies, not to mention the name of the field itself. On the one hand, shifting nomenclatures reveal a consciousness of collective identities and affilia- tions to national, political, or cultural realities, while on the other hand they can act as strategic attempts to delineate the specific national and cultural purviews of study that define the discipline.

Durante o colóquio “Língua Global,” realizado em Moçambique em março passado, quando da visita do Presidente de Portugal Cavaco João Almino Silva, o Ministro da Cultura de Portugal disse não ver empecilhos políticos quanto`a concretização do acordo. O Presidente de Writer Moçambique, Armando Guebuza, mantém-se favorável ao acordo, ainda que não tenha se comprometido oficialmente. Em junho de 2008 haverá uma nova reunião da CPLP. O governo português aprovou uma resolução, em março de 2008, propondo à Assembléia da República a ratificação do segundo protocolo modificativo, que abre caminho para a aprovação do Acordo num prazo de seis anos. O Acordo Ortográfico, que visa unificar a escrita das diversas variedades do português, foi lançado em 1990, devendo ter entrado em vigor em 1994. Tal fato não ocorreu porque apenas o Brasil, Cabo Verde, São Tomé e Príncipe assinaram os dois protocolos modificativos estabelecidos entre os membros da CPLP. Português é a única língua do mundo, com mais de 50 milhões de falantes, que possui duas escritas oficiais do mesmo idioma. A variedade dentro da unidade é um fator lingüístico que apenas enriquece uma língua. Todos que pertencem à comunidade dos países de língua portuguesa se expressam em português e é este padrão geral ou unidade que está em debate.

  • Portuguese Language Identity in the World: Adventures and Misadventures of an International Language
    Portuguese language identity in the world: adventures and misadventures of an international language Diana Santos University of Oslo Abstract This paper offers several cases where language plays an undeniable role in identity and world citizenship, concerning Portuguese-speaking countries. First, I provide some quantitative data on Portuguese as a global language, and highlight some of the challenges it faces now, being the official language in a dozen different countries with different governments and policies. Second, I offer my view of the importance of the language to the Portuguese identity, using two children books written 100 years ago, to explain how identity is represented and conveyed to the young generations. After briefly mentioning three schools in Portugal concerned with national identity (the mythical, the sociological, and the historical), I propose a “linguistic” school, going on to attempt to substantiate my claims on the importance of the language for lusophone identity in widely different cases: the linguistic situation in Mozambique, the East Timor crisis and its impact in Portugal, the (international) orthographic agreement, Brazilian linguistic activity and language policy in the digital world. I end the paper suggesting that, since language both unites and divides us, corpus linguistic studies could and should provide interesting empirical data for the quest (and recreation) of our international identity, and make a plea for the active involvement of the linguistic community in the development of PI (International Portuguese). 1. Introduction The relationship of most Portuguese-speaking people with their language can be described this way: their country may be in crisis, things may be far from perfect, but our language is beautiful, transcends us, and we are attached to it no matter political differences or actual border conflicts.

    1 Margo Milleret Dept. of Spanish and Portuguese University of New Mexico Albuquerque, NM 87131 Factors Influencing the Growth of Portuguese Enrollments in the 21st Century Abstract Data from the Modern Language Association demonstrates that the growth in post-secondary enrollments in Portuguese since 1998 has been at a higher rate than other foreign languages. From 1998-2002 the growth rate was 21% and from 2002-2006 it was 22.4%, although the latest information for 2006-2009 shows a somewhat lower rate of 10.8%. While these numbers are encouraging, the total figures for matriculations in Portuguese at post-secondary institutions is still rather small at 11,371 in 2009, especially when compared to other Less Commonly Taught Languages such as Japanese (73,434), Chinese (60,976), Arabic (35,083) and Russian (26,883). This essay will examine four factors that have contributed and will continue to contribute to the growth of enrollments at both secondary and post-secondary levels in the 21st century. These factors are 1) the increased investments made by the private and public sectors to support the study of Portuguese; 2) the impact of heritage speakers of Portuguese, 3) the interest of Spanish speakers in Portuguese; and 4) the action of Portugal and Brazil in the maintenance and promotion of the Portuguese language. Although it is not possible to gauge the exact impact of each of these factors, there is some room for optimism that the growing economic importance and visibility of Brazil on the world stage has generated a greater demand for the study of Portuguese in secondary and post- secondary education.

    The Brazilian Northeast, Inside Out: Region, Nation, and Globalization (1926-1968) By Courtney Jeanette Campbell Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in History August, 2014 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Marshall C. Eakin, Ph.D. Edward Wright-Rios, Ph.D. Celso Castilho, Ph.D. Thomas Schwartz, Ph.D. Lesley Gill, Ph.D. To my nieces, Kendra, Avah, and Alexa ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation is the result of long months of research and writing, but it was far from a solitary process; instead, I received help and feedback from several individuals, groups, publishers and institutions along the way. I thank the Ralph Lee Woodward Jr. Award selection committee for their feedback and recognition of an earlier version of the first chapter of this dissertation, which received the prize for best graduate student paper on Latin America and Caribbean, Borderlands or Atlantic World history presented at the Southern Historical Association meeting in 2011. Likewise, I am grateful to Oxford Bibliographies in Latin American Studies for their feedback on my article “History of the Brazilian Northeast,” which helped me work through many of the questions outlined in the literature review of this dissertation and for which I won the Graduate Student Article Award in 2014. I am particularly grateful to the British Library for helping me give back to some of the Brazilian archives that helped me in my research through an Endangered Archives Programme grant that allows me to direct a multi-institutional digitization grant in archives in Paraíba.
