I am a multilingual Brazilian-Canadian scholar fluent in Portuguese, English, French, and Spanish. My research and teaching always traverses and draws parallels between culture, film, and literary studies featuring Luso-Brazilian subjects. Aspects of exile and diaspora have been the main themes of my work. The simultaneous duality lived by the person in exile—physically in his adopted land and emotionally, through memories, in his place of origin—finds formal expression both textually and visually “between two banks of a river,” as stated by Maurice Blanchot. While, as both displacement and trauma, exile is represented by a passage between past and present, between one land and another, one culture and another, and one medium and another. In the past years, I have been very active in the university milieu as a teacher and as a researcher in the intersections of Portuguese, Brazilian, French, Canadian and American academic systems. As a documentarian and film programmer, I have been working in several film festivals in Toronto. Presently, I am preparing one manuscript combining my dissertation and postdoctoral research.
