We invite you to the launch of the digital collection of Polish periodicals published in Brazil from the end of the 19th century to the second half of the 20th century that were previously unavailable online. The creation of the collection by the Center for Polish Studies at UFPR ocurred in cooperation with the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland and is co-financed with funds from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland.

Our launch event will feature lectures by Prof. Dr. Izabela Drozdowska-Broering (UFSC) and Prof. Dr. Rhuan Trindade (UNICENTRO), with the aim of familiarizing the public with the richness and importance of the Polish press in the history of our region. It also emphasizes the value of periodicals as an object of study, hitherto little researched, for various areas of research, such as history, linguistics and literary studies.

The event will take on 21/11/2024 (Thursday) at 6:30 pm (Brasília time) on the UFPR campus and remotely on the Youtube channel of the Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras UFPR and can be accessed via the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJvbAb0EMzI.
