Promoted by the Department of Anglo-Germanic Letters in partnership with the Graduate Program in Science of Literature, this cycle of lectures welcomes Brazilian and foreign researchers to discuss theoretical, comparative, compositional and historical issues of the novel, in a continuous exercise of reflection and scrutiny of the procedures of apprehension, analysis and interpretation of the novelistic genre.
