Unfortunately I was unable to get pictures of these last two presentations. Matt Miller's presentation was in Spanish (him) and Portuguese (Kátia). and also included a selection of a documentary he is currently working on regarding what he calls "drag-rap" in New Orleans. A very interesting piece indeed. He spoke in Spanish and had Kátia Santos read his selection in Portuguese. Matt is fluent in Spanish and rather than having someone translate his English or Spanish into Portuguese, he simply spoke in Spanish and was easily understood by everyone in attendence (go go multiglottals!) Maria Luiza's was about the life of a slave woman who was likely born in the gold-mine boom state of Minas Gerais. It was a very interesting presentation and also a very formal and serious presention. Obviously everyone elses was serious yet they all had elements of humor to keep us attached. Her's had emotion and heart and she easily held the attention of the room.

Ana Paula. Out of 50 people in attendance, her and I were the ONLY left-handers there (correction: there was actually one more there but I was unable to get a picture of her actually writing with her left hand.) So in all, out of a total of probably 75 or so visitors to the presentations, only three of us were lefties. Still small enough in numbers to feel special!

Overall this event was very fun. We all felt kinda nervous at times, but ultimately we had a great time. We sat on Monday 22nd from 9AM-12:30PM, then from 2:30PM-6:30PM, and Tuesday 23rd from 9AM-12PM, 2PM-6PM, and 7:30PM-9PM. Lots of presentations and lots of very interesting topics were discussed and as you can see from some of my pictures we had a few roundtable/question and answer type sessions as well.
All of the participants got a very nice little certification/credentials sheet saying we were there and presented and such, which was very nice of Carlos and the rest of the UFPR Dept. of History to do for us. Definitely something I'll be copying and sending to graduate schools.
I was welcomed by Carlos and Dr. Anderson to come back next year (quite possibly on my own dime but I was planning on coming back next May for two months anyway) and do another presentation, so that's definitely something I'm looking into.
It is now 3AM and in the past three days I have gotten probably a combined 7 hours of sleep, so I'm going to go do that and catch up on the Zzzz's and hopefully it will be sunny and warm tomorrow instead of 8ºC like it has been the past three days.
Thanks for checking this post out definitely as it's something we all worked VERY hard on. I know Tiphane and I were up practically all weekend working, reciting, correcting, and writing and I know Rebecca was up for quite some time working on and perfecting hers. Mica, Candace nor Mariangelica presented, and I'll just leave that at that, nothing else needs to be said (here).
Note: At the end of my presentation I openly and publicly thanked Leandro for inviting me to capoeira, all of my professors including Dr. Anderson, Dr. Carlos Lima, and Professor Sombra from my capoeira class for giving me such an incredible opportunity to learn another language and another culture and explore a foreign country, and also all of the Brazilian students who have so far helped me get exponentially better at Portuguese and openly and welcomingly accepted all of us here, and I also thanked by name Rebecca and Tiphane. Without them, just like without the Brazilian students, my Portuguese wouldn't have gotten so much better in such a short period of time as it was nice to practice with them and work with them on all sorts of things. It's definitely been an experience living with Tiphane and Joseane and I definitely appreciate it all, and as with Mariangelica, Matt, and countless Brazilians, I definitely have enjoyed becoming great friends with Rebecca and hope it remains that way for quite a long time. Okay so all the sentimental sappy stuff is out of the way. It only took me 4 minutes to type that.
Thanks for reading all this and keep coming back for me.
