Teaching language

Portuguese

Objectives

The analysis of two literary works indicative of the confluence of worlds in the French language will stimulate the projection of Francophony into many directions, theoretical and artistic, which will be fostered in tutorials. In a more practical sense, we will seek to analyse in depth the critical reading of the two authors suggested, in order to show the crossing and interbreeding in France.
