In the event series \u201cLiterary Crossroads in the Global South: Brazil and Arab Countries,\u201d a Brazilian writer is invited to read a work of Arab literature, fostering a dialogue between the analyzed book and the work of the invited author. At the end of the reading, the guests and the audience participate in a discussion about the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ANBA, the <a href=\"https:\/\/centrodepesquisaeformacao.sescsp.org.br\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Research and Training Center<\/a> of Sesc said that the idea to organize these meetings arose from the \u201ccurrent movement\u201d of translating works from Arabic into Portuguese by Brazilian publishers such as Tabla, which publishes authors from the Middle East and North Africa in Brazil. In this event series, the Arab books read by the guests and translated into Brazilian Portuguese are part of Tabla\u2019s portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second edition of the meeting series, <em>From Gaza to Troy: Unspeakable Amidst Ruins<\/em>, is scheduled for September 17. The session will foster a dialogue between the book <em>Gaza: Terra de poesia<\/em> [Gaza, land of poetry], an anthology organized by Muhammad Taysir, and <em>Tamb\u00e9m guardamos pedras aqui <\/em>[We also keep stones here] (N\u00f3s) by Luiza Rom\u00e3o, who will participate in the book reading. In her book, Luiza Rom\u00e3o offers a feminist reinterpretation of the Greek work <em>The Iliad<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Arab cities in focus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In November, the author of <em>G\u00f3tico Nordestino<\/em> (Alfaguara), Christiano Aguiar, will give a reading at the meeting, which will propose a dialogue with <em>Baghdad Noir<\/em> (edited by Samuel Shimon) and <em>Marrakech Noir<\/em> (edited by Yassin Adnan), both published in Brazil by Tabla. The date for this event is yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At each meeting, the work, the author, and its production context are presented by Arabic professors, researchers, and translators Jemima Alves and Felipe Benjamin Francisco. Participation is free, but registration is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Quick facts<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Literary Crossroads in the Global South: Brazil and Arab Countries \u2013 Meeting II<\/strong><br><em>From Gaza to Troy: Unspeakable Amidst Ruins<\/em><br>Research and Training Center of Sesc S\u00e3o Paulo<br>Rua Dr. Pl\u00ednio Barreto, 285 \u2013 4<sup>th<\/sup> Floor, Bela Vista, S\u00e3o Paulo-SP<br>Registration open until Sep. 17 or while spots are available<br>Tuesday (17), from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/brazilian-literature-in-arabic-pages\/\">Brazilian literature in Arabic pages<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Translated by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-373676\">Tabla<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Series of events organized by Sesc-SP\u2019s Research and Training Center promotes the reading of contemporary Arabic books by Brazilian authors and artists.
