Broadly inspired by an upcoming Tarsila do Amaral exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago, Beyond Anthropophagy: Cultural Modernities Between Brazil and France will explore Brazilian/French literary, artistic, and intellectual interactions between the wars in terms of recent debates about “world literature,” “world art,” and “global modernity.”

Keynote: “Brazilian Modernism: Nocturnes,” Flora Süssekind (Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro)

Co-sponsored by: Department of Art History, Department of French and Italian, Global Avant-Garde and Modernist Studies (TGS), Latin American and Caribbean Studies Program, Department of Spanish & Portuguese, and the Vernon Jackson Fund
