The platform is the result of a project coordinated by Professor Pedro Feliu (IRI-USP) in partnership with FAPESP, with the participation of Professor Natália Poiatti (IRI-USP). The project aims to provide systematic information to support research focused on the evaluation of foreign policy.

Study day “Between Latin America and Europe” (Carolina Aguiar, INHA, February 14, 2025)

On February 14, the study day “Entre Amérique latine et Europe: Nouveaux récits de voyage dans l’espace atlantique postcolonial” will take place at the Institut national d'histoire de l'art (INHA) in Paris. The event is organized by IRI-USP professor Carolina Amaral de Aguiar as part of her activities as a visiting researcher at Université Paris-Saclay. It will feature presentations dedicated to the analysis of travel accounts produced in the Atlantic space, in various formats, during the second half of the 20th century. The idea behind the meeting is to reflect on how the processes of decolonization in Africa and Asia and the emergence of the category of the “Third World” contributed to the displacement of new historical subjects and the production of new narratives about the “other.” The study day also contributes to the project “Transatlantic Cultures. Cultural Histories of the Atlantic World (18th-21st Centuries)”, supported by the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) through a Franco-Brazilian partnership.
