is a research project developed by the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Sul (IFRS), Canoas Campus. It aims to investigate contemporary Brazilian literature and its processes of internationalisation, as well as create inovative technologies, in order to facilitate the production and the dissemination of the national literary culture. Thus, it is vital the integration between students and researchers, who are interested in the Brazilian artistic-cultural heritage, from diferent fields of knowledge and institutions.
This project focuses on the status quo of contemporary Brazilian literature on a transnational perspective, which brings as a consequence further scientific production by researchers from Brazil and abroad, who can together reflect on the arts and culture in times of globalisation.
In order to ease the access to data on Brazilian literature in translation, this project is working on the development of a web plataform, which will facilitate the flow of information about literary works translated and their translators. The plataform carries the name of the British explorer and writer Richard Burton as he was considered one of the first translators of Brazilian literature into English.
To improve the dialogue between translation groups, the management of dataflow, and the connections of different stages of the translation process, this project is developing a communication tool for sharing finished and in-progress translated works. The system should work to bridge the gaps between translation groups interested in exchanging their work.
