Intercâmbio de estudantes: Chemnitz - Coimbra – Lisboa

The Postcolonial across Borders: Interdisciplinary Research and Practices of Resistance

On the occasion of the congress there will be a meeting between students from Portugal and Germany, especially from Lisbon, Coimbra and Chemnitz. The main purpose of this meeting is to generate an exchange between students from different study houses, disciplines and levels and activists, who are working from a common critical perspective: the postcolonial.

This meeting is part of a cooperation between the researchers Dr. des. Ana Troncoso from the University of Chemnitz and Dr. Elsa Peralta from the University of Lisbon, initiated in 2022 with the symposium Decolonial Iconoclasm: City - Memory - Participation. This meeting expands the cooperation with the participation of Dr. Doris Wieser and students from the University of Coimbra. 

The meeting is funded by the DAAD and the Camoes Institute.

Three activities are planned to promote this exchange:

1. Poster Sessions

Students of the Bachelor "Europäische Studien und Geschichtswissenschaften" of Chemnitz, participants of the seminar "Presseanalyse - Am Beispiel der Berichterstattung zu Portugals Nelkenrevolution im Neuen Deutschland", students of the master's degrees "Literatura de Língua Portuguesa" of the University of Coimbra and "Literaturas Africanas de Língua Portuguesa" and of the PhD in Anthropology of the University of Lisbon will present the results of work done in different courses and their research questions from their doctoral research in the form of posters.

The Poster Sessions will take place during the congress, in two of the coffee breaks. Each author will present his/her poster in 5 minutes. Questions may be asked after the presentations, as well as during the rest of the meeting.
