As the first world’s fair held in the Americas, the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia allowed the hemisphere’s nations to stake disparate claims to modernity through unequal displays of natural resources, new technologies, and art. Existing scholarship on the Centennial Exhibition and its importance for Brazil touches only briefly on how representations of Brazil at the fair were communicated to the Brazilian public. This article claims that Brazil’s participation at the fair created translations of the nation for a foreign public that were retranslated for Brazilian readers through O Novo Mundo, a periodical published in New York from 1870 to 1879. By reading O Novo Mundo alongside archival documentation and histories of the Centennial Exhibition, I contend that the periodical recognized Brazil’s desire for modernity, critiqued how Brazilian officials wanted the nation to be seen, and questioned how models of progress from the United States would unfold in Brazil.
1876年在费城举行的百年博览会是第一次在美洲举办的世界博览会，它让西半球的国家通过对自然资源、新技术和艺术的不平等展示，对现代性提出了不同的要求。关于百周年展览及其对巴西的重要性的现有学术研究只简要地涉及了巴西在博览会上的表现是如何传达给巴西公众的。这篇文章声称，巴西参加博览会为外国公众创造了国家的翻译，这些翻译通过1870年至1879年在纽约出版的期刊《O Novo Mundo》重新翻译给巴西读者。通过阅读《新世界报》以及百年纪念展览的档案文件和历史，我认为这份期刊认识到了巴西对现代化的渴望，批评了巴西官员希望人们如何看待这个国家，并质疑来自美国的进步模式将如何在巴西展开。

Departing from Renu Bora’s notion of the queerness of textures, this article seeks to understand how locating the queer textures of Mario de Sa-Carneiro’s 1914 novella, A confissao de Lucio , emphasizes the work’s engagement with questions of gender, modernity, and decadence. Sa-Carneiro’s take on modernity has been described as decadent partly because of his refusal or failure to resolve issues of artistic representation with respect to modernity. Approaching A confissao through the queerness of tactility offers a unique insight into the peculiar relationship between the novella’s narrator-protagonist, Lucio Vaz, his friend Ricardo de Loureiro, and Ricardo’s wife Marta. Through an exploration of Ricardo’s framing of relationships in terms of gendered possession, this article examines Sa-Carneiro’s ultimately fraught and decadent figuration of modernity.
本文从Renu Bora关于纹理怪异的概念出发，试图理解Mario de Sa Carneiro 1914年的中篇小说《与卢西奥的对话》中的怪异纹理是如何定位的，强调了作品对性别、现代性和颓废问题的参与。萨·卡内罗对现代性的看法被描述为颓废，部分原因是他拒绝或未能解决与现代性有关的艺术表现问题。《通过触觉的怪异来接近一个约定》为中篇小说的叙述者主角卢西奥·瓦兹、他的朋友里卡多·德·劳雷罗和里卡多的妻子玛尔塔之间的特殊关系提供了独特的见解。通过对里卡多从性别占有的角度构建关系的探索，本文考察了萨·卡内罗对现代性的最终令人担忧和颓废的塑造。

While most early modern authors align themselves with normative views on gender, Soror Maria do Ceu (1658-1753) resists and subverts this tradition in her play Clavel, y Rosa, breve comedia aludida a los desposorios de Maria y Joseph (Carnation and Rose, a brief play on the marriage of Mary and Joseph, 1736). She achieves this in part by creating "feminine" male characters and assigning "masculine" characteristics to her female characters. Soror Maria affords more power and authority to women in her comedia , and she likewise undermines the validity of early modern social expectations related to men and masculinity by scrutinizing gender norms. In the end, Soror Maria creates a space of negotiation between the masculine and the feminine that allows for a reassessment of what it meant to be a man in late seventeenth-century Iberia.

In the last 50 years, Portuguese language teaching in the USA has grown in many ways and has established solid roots. But as a less commonly taught language, Portuguese programs face many challenges. Here is a handbook that adequately recognizes these challenges and provides a clear route to overcome them.

This article examines Jose Maria de Eca de Queiros’s novel A ilustre casa de Ramires (1900) through a focus on the writing process of the main protagonist, Goncalo Mendes Ramires, who attempts to produce a historical novella of his ancestry. Drawing on Helene Cixous’s concept of ecriture feminine and the visceral experience of writing through the body, I analyze the protagonist’s quest for political advancement and social acceptance. If Ramires yearns for enhanced virility in male-dominated political and literary circles, Eca’s ironic textual subtleties, humor, and multifaceted narrative all serve to question established norms of gender, power, and sexuality. In the end, both historiography and political glory emerge as ambivalent phenomena.
本文通过对主人公贡卡洛·门德斯·拉米雷斯（Goncalo Mendes Ramires）的写作过程的关注，考察了何塞·玛丽亚·德·埃卡·德·奎罗斯（Jose Maria de Eca de Queiros）的小说《拉米雷斯之家》（A ilustre casa de Ramires，1900），他试图创作一部自己祖先的历史中篇小说。借助海伦·西克索斯的女性化概念和通过身体写作的内在体验，我分析了主人公对政治进步和社会接受的追求。如果拉米雷斯渴望在男性主导的政治和文学圈中增强男性气概，那么埃卡讽刺性的文本微妙之处、幽默和多方面的叙事都会质疑性别、权力和性的既定规范。最后，史学和政治荣耀都是矛盾的现象。

Brazilian literary histories are structured either to trace the emergence of an autonomous literature (a “national literature”), or to postulate a “master” cultural gesture (such as “anthropopaghy.”) This article proposes translation as an alternative to these frameworks. First, it offers a rereading of Caminha’s “Carta do Achamento” as a problem of translation, identifying in it three distinct “translation regimes.” Then, it traces the recurring presence of these regimes in major literary events in Brazilian literature in the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. Ultimately, this model of literary history is aimed at enticing new explorations on diachronic affinities and synchnronic diversity.

In the present essay, I argue that despite the conservative ideals espoused by the narrator of Alexandre Vidal Porto's Sergio Y. vai a America (2014), it is precisely within these conflictive and contradicting thoughts that one finds a critique of heteronormativity. In other words, while Vidal Porto seems not to address problems regularly addressed in the field of queer and gender studies, his omission of queer performativity and any empowering discourse for the transgender community is a strategy he employs to interrogate how conservative societies such as Brazil define sex, sexual identity, social practices, and queer space.
在本文中，我认为，尽管亚历山大·维达尔·波尔图(Alexandre Vidal Porto)的塞尔吉奥·y·瓦伊(Sergio Y. vai a America)(2014)的叙述者支持保守的理想，但正是在这些冲突和矛盾的思想中，人们发现了对异性恋规范的批判。换句话说，虽然维达尔·波尔图似乎没有解决酷儿和性别研究领域经常讨论的问题，但他忽略了酷儿表演和任何为跨性别群体赋权的话语，这是他用来质疑巴西等保守社会如何定义性别、性身份、社会实践和酷儿空间的策略。
