Cartographies of cultural studies in Portuguese: perspectives, research and challenges

Abstract

This book was born out of a dream: to network together a set of higher education institutions that, in several countries of the world, have long been working together on topics related to culture, both in the field of teaching and research. It was from this desire, in a pandemic context, that the International Network in Cultural Studies (RIEC) was born, constituting the present work as a first display of different lines of investigation developed by some of its members. It is, therefore, the portrait of a beginning. A beginning of self and hetero-knowledge. It is a very generous beginning, because the texts that make up this book reflect a gesture of sharing between institutions that are at different points in their development and at different points in Cultural Studies.
