| Summary: | In contemporary Brazilian literature there is a remarkable presence of Japanese topics, by writers without any biographical relationship to Japan – in our case Bernardo Carvalho, Adriana Lisboa, and João Paulo Cuenca. This phenomenon offers varied and complex readings, interpretations and representations of Japanese culture, which by this means is “integrated” into the Brazilian context; readings of Japan which still maintain a connection with the legacy of Japanese immigration to Brazil as well as with issues of Brazilian identity, but which deal primarily with universal signifiers of Japanese and Brazilian culture in the 21st century. |
