A large and growing network of black women YouTubers in Brazil mobilize strategies of fortalecimento, a term used by some women to refer to how they prepare themselves to face the barriers created by the gendered racial hierarchy of Brazilian society. In this article, I examine these YouTube channels and the tactics black women use to increase their own visibility, to value black aesthetics, and to denounce racist and sexist acts or representations. Furthermore, I consider the importance of physical spaces, such as production studios, for YouTube success, and how black women negotiate material spaces as well as the video sharing platform to maximize their visibility and encroach on predominantly white spaces of cultural production. Using theories of intersectionality, representation, and subjecthood, I examine how these women use (virtual) communities to re-signify and pluralize black womanhood in Brazil.

In the present essay, I examine truth and trust as socially embedded co-constructions. To ground my analysis, I focus on Julian Fuks’s A resistencia (2015), a novel that addresses Brazil’s dictatorial past (1964-1985) while alluding to contemporary and future concerns. Through close readings of Fuks’s metafictional novel, I examine the ways in which trust develops in tandem with doubt and suspicion. This focus sheds light on how attention to trust can be crucial for both lectoral engagement and the democratic processes of discussion and consensus.

Critical studies about the Macanese and their literature in the former Portuguese colony of Macau have been scant. Novelists like Austin Coates (City of Broken Promises, 1967) from Great Britain and Henrique de Senna Fernandes (A tranca feiticeira, 1993) from Macau, as well as short story writers Deolinda da Conceicao (Macau) and Maria Ondina Braga (Portugal), depict life in colonial Macau. While the plots of these works display similarities, Coates’s and Braga’s perspectives are filtered through the lenses of European colonialism and Fernandes and da Conceicao work through the legacy of coloniality.
关于前葡萄牙殖民地澳门的澳门人及其文学的批判性研究很少。来自英国的奥斯汀·科茨（Austin Coates）（《失信之城》，1967年）和来自澳门的恩里克·德·塞纳·费尔南德斯（Henrique de Senna Fernandes）（《一场骗局》，1993年）等小说家，以及短篇小说作家德琳达·康塞科（Deolida da Conceicao）（澳门）和玛丽亚·翁迪娜·布拉加（Maria Ondina Braga）（葡萄牙），都描绘了殖民地澳门的生活。虽然这些作品的情节显示出相似之处，但科茨和布拉加的视角是通过欧洲殖民主义的镜头过滤出来的，费尔南德斯和达·康塞科的作品是通过殖民主义的遗产进行的。

This article aims to understand the narrative technique of mise-enabyme in Clarice Lispector’s short story “A quinta historia” (published in A legiao estrangeira (1964)). Here Lispector quickly builds variations on the same argument, a sort of unfolding of stories that succeed each other, originating in the same idea: how to kill cockroaches. Based on the studies of Lucien Dallenbach and Veronique Labeille among others, the article confronts the versions of A quinta historia in the periodicals Casa e Jardim and Senhor, focusing on mise-enabyme as the seminal and questioning force of Lispector’s work.
本文旨在理解克拉丽斯·利斯佩克特的短篇小说《一段历史》(发表于1964年的《一段陌生的历史》)中“使能修辞”的叙事手法。在这里，利斯佩克特迅速建立了同一论点的变体，一种故事的展开，一个接一个，起源于同一个想法:如何杀死蟑螂。本文以Lucien Dallenbach和Veronique Labeille等人的研究为基础，探讨了《Casa e Jardim》和《Senhor》期刊上对《quinta historia》的不同版本，重点关注了mise-enabyme作为利斯佩克特作品的开创性和质疑性力量。

Earl Fitz’s Machado de Assis and Narrative Theory proposes that the Brazilian author problematizes the very tool—language—that makes such things knowable. Importantly, the book introduces methodical doubt about the extent to which, when it comes to Machado, ideas deriving from his fiction can be confidently discerned.

Joaquim-Francisco Coelho left this world on September 25, 2019 in the way he inhabited it: quietly and tranquilly, with his loving family by his side. Up to the last, even in fragile health, Joaquim was concerned about the well-being of others, always finding humor in daily existence and offering a joke as a way of putting others at ease and of coming to terms, in some way, with the flux and flow of life itself.

In the present essay, I examine the work and career of the Mozambican poet Noémia Carolina Abranches de Sousa Soares (1926-2002). It is well known that Sousa began her career publishing under the initials “NS” to confuse her identity with that of her brother (whose name was Nuno) and so obfuscate her gender; however, women are a constant element in her work. Beyond this, I argue that Sousa adopted a pioneering approach to gender, one deeply connected to the anti-colonial struggle, the fight for the rights of her people, and the African American imaginary. Indelibly linked to social, racial, and gendered subalternity, Mozambican women constitute in Sousa’s oeuvre the personification of the struggle against the societal paradigms of the time.
