Entitled \u201cAl-Andalus \u2013 East and West bond,\u201d the lecture will address the work of Brazilian writers of Syrian and Lebanese descent.<\/p>\n<p>The Brazil-Lebanon Cultural Center said Sleiman will deal with the reorientalization observed in the works of Brazilian authors who are descendants of Syrian and Lebanese immigrants whose families moved to Brazil in the 20th century. According to Sleiman, they constitute a continuum of Arabness and keep alive the idea of Al-Andalus and a moment when East and West formed a single unit. Al-Andalus designates a portion of the Iberian Peninsula that Muslims used to rule.<\/p>\n<p>Sleiman was born in Santa Rosa, Rio Grande do Sul, the son to Lebanese parents who migrated to Brazil in the 1960s. He lived and studied in Beirut. The holder of a degree in Language and Literature, of which he is a professor at the University of S\u00e3o Paulo (USP), he is also the author of <em>\u00cdnula Ni\u00fala<\/em>, a book of poems, and of essay collections A <em>Arte do Zajal<\/em> and <em>A Poesia \u00c1rabe-Andaluza<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>He currently coordinates workshops on translation into Arabic.
