Portuguese Studies 37 - Bog

This issue features seven contributions that compose a current portrait of Brazil from the viewpoint of the difficult construction of its democracy in the twenty-first century. The works cover different areas such as law, psychoanalysis, literary and image studies, human rights and the pressing indigenous issue. The proposal to present this multidisciplinary outline is founded on the idea that such transdisciplinarity alone is up to the task of minimally representing the complexity of twenty-first-century Brazil.
