Friends “meeting” with Isaú Meneses
Date and Time: Thursday, February 28 2019 at 18h00
Entrance: Free
Address: Camões - Centro Cultural Português, Av. Julius Nyerere no. 720, Maputo
In the context of the initiative Friends "meeting" - "IV Cycle Flows of Intercultural Communication in the space of Portuguese Language.
This meeting will be conducted by the Mozambican researcher Isaú Menezes and aims to constitute a reflection on the multi-cultural and cosmopolitan conviviality that is characteristic of the city of Beira and how this conviviality provided the cultural creativity of its people, in a horizon that goes from 1972 to 2015. It is the purpose of this reflection to analyse ethnic-cultural differences from a linguistic, artistic and social point of view and the influence they have had on cultural creativity in the city of Beira.
The IV Cycle brings to Maputo reflections of researchers from Mozambique, Portugal and Brazil on intercultural dynamics in the global world. This work, which has been coordinated by researchers Sara Laisse (Universidade Politécnica), Eduardo Lichuge (Eduardo Mondlane University) and Lurdes Macedo (University of Minho, Portugal) since 2016, arose from the observation that the classical social sciences perspective offered an interpretative picture of the world based on the differentiation of humanity into categories such as religion, ethnicity, culture or nationality - needs to be rethought in the contemporary world. Each of the groups seeks to contribute to the construction of new perspectives capable of helping us to interpret a new social reality in which exchanges, sharing and inter-dependencies are increasingly decisive in promoting dialogue and development.
