Learn about the research project "Literary Cartography of Immigration on Amazon," one of the featured projects in the UFPA Graduate Program in Literature and Literature, which contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This project focuses on analyzing literature linked to the foreign presence in the Amazon, addressing both immigrant authors or descendants of immigrants and writers who, even without a direct connection to immigration, portray in their works cultural influences of different nationalities, such as Japanese, American, English, Portuguese, Jewish, and Syrian Lebanese. The research is based on two main axes: authors whose family origins are linked to migratory flows to the region and those who address, in their works, the impacts and cross-cultural dialogues generated by these presences. The corpus of the study brings together names such as José Benedicto Cohen, Sultana Levy Rosenblatt, Marcos Serruya, Leão Pacífico Esaguy, Mady Benoliel Benzecry, Elias Salgado, Ilko Minev, Myriam Scotti, Rogel Samuel, Márcio Souza, Paulo Jacob, Milton Hatoum, Jorge Tufic, Fusako Tsunoda, among others.
