At Brazilian Studies we have certain interests, and those consists of a couple of very interesting collaborations. So just to give them a little publication, we've chosen to feature them in here:


Brasiliansk Aften
Brasiliansk Aften is THE place to go every one evening in every month. At Brasiliansk Aften you get to meet at least a dozen brazilians or just people that has an interest in Brazil, because it's all what Brasiliansk Aften is about - getting to know more about Brazil as a country, but nonetheless the culture and makes new acquaintances. And if that isn't enough, there is Capoeira every time Brasiliansk Aften is being held. Check out the link below:
Brasiliansk Aften


Sambananas
Sambananas has two divisions - one in Copenhagen and one right here in Aarhus.
If there is a group that understands samba and how to convey the true spirit of samba, Sambananas does the trick, and does it well! They understand how to bring the Brazilian up in us, whether we know we have it in us or we don't. Sambananas also holds Summer Camp with professionals from Brazil, Copenhagen and Sweden. They also joins the Carnaval in Copenhagen, and goes on parades around the country. Check out the link below:

Dinner at the Ambassador of Portugal’s Residency in Copenhagen

Image
On Monday 18 April professors Fernanda Gláucia Pinto and Georg Fischer along with students Juul van de Voort (BA) and Peter Haldborg (MA) had the pleasure of attending a dinner-buffet at the  residence  of the ambassador of Portugal, Rui Macieira ’s residency. The occasion was the visit of professor Ricardo Reis , associate dean for International Affairs of Universidade Católica de Lisboa. After a three-and-a-half hour journey from Aarhus to Copenhagen, a few cups of coffee and a beer, and finally a trip to Charlottenlund, we arrived at Rui Macieira’s residence where we were greeted by the ambassador himself. Shortly after, he thanked everyone for their participation in his welcome speech, soon followed by a short speech by professor Reis – both in European Portuguese, obviously. After the speeches it was time to enjoy the delicious food! Moments after the dinner was served people were flocking around the buffet, enjoying a mixture of Danish and Portuguese delicaci...

Porto-trip

Image
In the last week of January the 1st semester - soon to be 2nd - students were able to take a break from the stress and misery revolving their exams… Next stop: Portugal! It was a long journey to Porto, but we remained positive throughout the trip, singing joyfully along the way,  and when we finally arrived we were really psyched to get to experience the city! The first day there we were lucky enough to be given 15 degrees and sunshine, which disappointed one of the students who only brought a thick fur coat - the rest of us didn’t complain though! We went for a walk around the city, sat in the sun, drank beer and the mood was at its highest! From Monday to Friday we were given Portuguese lessons by The University of Porto, guided tours around the city and even went for a wine-tasting class, which was very interesting. And tasty... When we were not at the university, we spend our days shopping and experimenting with eating Portuguese snacks like Francesinha and Pastel de Nat...

New challenges

A new semester has just begun and along comes a whole new set of challenges, especially for the  4 th  semester students as they are off to Brazil. Back in Denmark on 2 nd semester things are humming since new and more intense courses are scheduled. One of them is a course in phonetics and phonology which is a different discipline to most of the students.  As an introduction to the course we have a visiting lecturer, Denise Kluge, from Universidade Federal do Paraná, Brazil.  During the first lesson she taught the importance of making our Portuguese intelligible as a result of correct pronunciation. She states that the context will not always compensate for your lacks, and even if the receiver is able to understand the meaning of your statement he or she might not be willing to compromise with it.  Pronunciation and the production of sound are therefore extremely important even at our level of education. Not least it is essential to base it on the ...
