International and Global Studies Colloquium “The Magnetic North and the Southern Gardens in the Poetry of Cesário Verde” by Mario Higa, assistant professor of Portuguese, Middlebury College. Lunch is free for current Middlebury College students/faculty/staff; suggested $5 donation for others; RSVP by 1/12 to rcga@middlebury.edu. Despite the fact that Cesário Verde (1855-1886) wrote a small number of poems and never published a book during his short lifetime, he is presently one of the most influential poets of Portuguese language.

This talk will examine the ways that a growing awareness of food and foodways creates a national image for those inside and outside of the country. International attention has the paradoxical effect of enhancing a sense of shared identity as Brazilian while simultaneously strengthening people’s awareness of themselves as particular kinds of Brazilians.
