CALL FOR PAPERS (THEMATIC DOSSIER) LANGUAGE, CULTURE, ART, AND EDUCATION IN TRANSATLANTIC TIDES: DIALOGUES BETWEEN BRAZIL AND MOZAMBIQUE – Issue 2025.2
LANGUAGE, CULTURE, ART, AND EDUCATION IN TRANSATLANTIC TIDES: DIALOGUES BETWEEN BRAZIL AND MOZAMBIQUE – Issue 2025.2
Amidst the waves of the Atlantic, languages, cultures, arts, colors, and sounds cross borders, carrying and bringing memories, knowledge, and dreams. Thus, Brazil and Mozambique reconnect in these tides, neither so calm nor so turbulent, which, throughout history, have strengthened ancestral ties. In this Decolonial Epistemic Xirê (PASSOS; SILVA, 2022), the thematic dossier “Language, Culture, Art, and Education in Transatlantic Tides: Dialogues between Brazil and Mozambique” from ODEERE: International Journal of Ethnic Relations (ISSN 2525-4715), edition 2025.2, invites researchers to drop anchor and set sail in this sea of dialogues in the Global South (MEIGOS, 2022).
We accept works that contain stories, analyze processes, propose paths, and invent futures for cultural and educational relations between the two countries. We welcome contributions that, from critical and sensitive perspectives, address: language as a territory of encounter and language establishing a process of human creation and invention (NHAMPOCA, 2015), conflict and creation; art as a bridge, mirror, and resistance; education as a crossing and reinvention; cultural exchanges as currents that shape identities. This is a call for us to navigate together, in texts that cross theory and affection, research and invention, memory and utopia.
We emphasize that articles may be submitted individually or as co-authored works and that, for the dossier section of ODEERE Magazine, only authors and co-authors with a PhD degree may submit articles.
