It presents as a theme: The speech of Pepetela and the representation of the Angolan universe based on literary text "The plateau and the steppe", 2009, published in the post-independence period of Angola. The author writes a literature that is committed to the Angolan historical context, its history makes reference to the social context of the country (Angola), demonstrating through the discourse how it was for the Angolan people to go through the process of independence of the Portuguese yoke (1961-1975) , The post-colonization period and the civil war (1975-2002) and the search of the people for their national identity, reconstructing a new history. Thus, the discussion of this theme is relevant, since it seeks to identify on which aspects the Portuguese Language assists in the historical process and the formation of national identity of the Angolan people. Thus, we explain some characteristics regarding the narrative and the particularities of the characters, because the work serves as an instrument to understand the multiculturality and the identity construction of the Angolan man. It is also worth mentioning that the Angolan novel is a meeting point for several discourses, various cultures, various ethnic groups, languages, because in Angola besides the Portuguese language other national languages are spoken and, in the context described by Pepetela, Languages of other nations. With this, we can say that literature is a comprehensive and interactive space between the subject enunciator (subject of writing), the enunciative and the historical texts that go through the narrative / Este trabalho insere-se na Linha de Pesquisa História e Descrição da Língua Portuguesa do Programa de Estudos Pós-Graduados em Língua Portuguesa da PUC/SP. Apresenta como tema: O discurso de Pepetela e a representação do universo angolano com base em texto literário ―O planalto e a estepe‖, de 2009, publicado em período pós-independência de Angola. O autor escreve uma literatura engajada com o contexto histórico angolano, sua história faz referência ao contexto social do país (Angola), demonstrando por meio do discurso como foi para o povo angolano passar pelo processo de independência do jugo de Portugal (1961-1975), pelo período de póscolonização e pela guerra civil (1975-2002) e a busca do povo por sua identidade nacional reconstruindo uma nova história. Assim, a discussão desse tema mostra-se relevante, pois busca identificar sobre quais aspectos a Língua Portuguesa auxilia no processo histórico e de formação de identidade nacional do povo angolano. Dessa forma, explicitamos algumas características a respeito da narrativa e das particularidades dos personagens, pois a obra serve como instrumento para se compreender a multiculturalidade e a construção identitária do homem angolano. Cabe ressaltar, ainda, que o romance angolano é lugar de encontro de vários discursos, várias culturas, várias etnias, de várias línguas, porque em Angola além da Língua Portuguesa falam-se outras línguas nacionais e, no contexto descrito por Pepetela, temos ainda as línguas de outras nações. Com isso, podemos dizer que a literatura é um espaço abrangente e interativo entre o sujeito enunciador (sujeito da escrita), o enunciatário e os textos históricos que percorrem a narrativa

The course was offered by the Municipal Department of Education of São Paulo, from 2013 to 2016. The problematizing question that directed this study is thus stated: what contributions did tformation spaces have with Afro-Brazilian and indigenous literature, together with the reading room teachers? The subjects of this research were the teachers of the reading room who participated in the formative processes. The theoretical framework that bases the study is the pedagogical thought of Paulo Freire for the relevance of his contribution to intercultural studies, associated with propositions of authors that align with this field of knowledge, Fleuri (2000) and Candau (2009). The research methodology has a qualitative approach; semi-structured interviews were carried out to apprehend the perceptions of the teachers who participated in these formations regarding Afro-Brazilian and indigenous literature. The results of the research demonstrated that the formations achieved their goal and the manifestations of the teachers interviewed indicated that the pedagogical practice with this literature has created an important approximation with the life and cultures of the majority of the students. Like the concern to have in reading room a critical-transforming practice, starting from ethnic-racial diversity. In this way, the importance and the systematic increase of the offer of the continuous formation, with that approach, to the POSL, as well as to the other professionals of the school community, is reaffirmed / Esta pesquisa propõs-se a analisar como professores de sala de leitura se apropriaram de uma formação sobre a literatura intercultural, com livros de matrizes afro-brasileira e indígenas, a serem utilizados em escolas de Ensino Fundamental e Médio. O curso foi oferecido pela Secretaria Municipal de Educação de São Paulo, no período 2013 a 2016. A questão problematizadora que dirigiu esse estudo é assim enunciada: que contribuições tiveram os espaços de formação com a literatura afro-brasileira e indígena, junto aos professores de sala de leitura? Os sujeitos dessa pesquisa foram os professores orientadores de sala de leitura que participaram dos processos formativos. O referencial teórico que fundamenta o estudo é o pensamento pedagógico de Paulo Freire pela relevância de sua contribuição para os estudos interculturais, associada a proposições de autores que com ele se alinham no tocante a esse campo de conhecimento, Fleuri (2000) e Candau (2009). A metodologia de investigação tem abordagem qualitativa; foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas para a apreensão de percepções dos professores que participaram dessas formações quanto à literatura afro-brasileira e indígena. Os resultados da pesquisa demonstraram que as formações conseguiram atingir seu objetivo e as manifestações das professoras entrevistadas indicaram que a prática pedagógica com essa literatura criou importante aproximação com a vida e culturas da maioria dos estudantes. Tal como da preocupação em ter em sala de leitura uma prática crítico-transformadora, partindo da diversidade étnico-racial. Desse modo, reafirma-se a importância e a ampliação sistemática da oferta da formação continuada, com esse enfoque, aos POSL, assim como aos outros profissionais da comunidade escolar

Fragments of the Moon is a novel set mostly in South Korea, examining relationships between people, interpersonal spaces, architectural spaces and landscape through a cross-cultural context. Matt, a graduate architect from Perth, Australia, finds himself increasingly vulnerable to cultural confusion as he adjusts to life away from his home and friends. Having initially assumed that Seoul's western facade echoes its social dynamic, Matt increasingly discovers that the Confucianism which underpins much of contemporary Korean society makes all relationships far more complex than his assumptions had allowed. Together with a Canadian student who is seeking to find the essence of a different Korea through her investigation of Buddhism, and through meeting diverse Korean characters, readers will discover several of the many facets of contemporary Korean culture. Readers will be encouraged to test the slippery surfaces on which familiar and unfamiliar attitudes to bodies, landscape and created spaces rest. 'Body, Space, Ideas of Home: Cross-cultural Perspectives' (thesis) The thesis examines the interaction of body space, architectural space, landscape, and emotional states in contemporary literary fiction from several cultural perspectives. Bodies, landscapes, and architectural spaces are shown to be devices through which contemporary authors with different cultural backgrounds have expressed character and explored ideas, especially thematic concerns related to cultural or cross-cultural confusion or understanding. Notions of 'feeling at home' and 'being alien' are investigated through the work of authors who either have a cross-cultural heritage (e.g. Jhumpa Lahiri a Bengali/American), or who write about a culture which is not their own (e.g. Dianne Highbridge, an Australian writing about Japan). Several chosen authors explore the relationships between the spiritual and the physical, the metaphysical and the corporeal. These elements are particularly highlighted when examining the narratives of Tim Winton (The Riders, 1994) and Simone Lazaroo (The World Waiting To Be Made, 1994); and two of Japan's most popular writers, Haruki Murakami (Norwegian Wood, 2000) and Banana Yoshimoto (Lizard, 1995). For some writers, this exploration of spaces forms the focal point of their work; for others, it is an important facet of their narrative world, which helps to ground their writing for contemporary readers whose own backgrounds must also influence their understandings.
