On 12 March, Professor Mário Avelar gave a literary, critical and cultural talk in which he explored the intersections between literature and cinema, urban spaces and everyday experiences. Through an approach marked by encounters and misunderstandings, the speaker offered the audience his critical lens, exploring different perspectives in the analysis of texts by multiple national and foreign writers, as well as cinematographic works by various filmmakers.
This intellectual wander through various locations and areas of the city allowed for a sensitive and multifaceted reading of urban space, highlighting how literature and cinema contribute to the construction of imaginaries, memories and meanings associated with urban life.
