Intermediality in Brazil: A Diachronic Survey

Intermídia, a term coined in the 1960s by Dick Higgins, can be found in an article by Claus Clüver in Brazilian publications as early as 1997 (Clüver C, Literatura e Sociedade: Revista de teoria e literatura comparada (DTLLC/FFLCH, Universidade de São Paulo) 2: 37–55, 1997). The notion of intermidialidade was widely discussed in the early 2000s in courses also taught by Clüver, who has often been invited as guest professor at Brazilian Universities (Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (2002, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2017) and Universidade Federal de Alagoas (2002)). Since then, a great deal has been published in Brazil based on the translated works of intermedial specialists, namely, Clüver himself, Bolter, Bruhn, Grusin, Elleström, Kattenbelt, Lund, Moser, Müller, Wolf, Rajewsky, Schröter, to name a few. A lot more has also been published within the production of research groups officially registered in the national directory (Diretório dos Grupos de Pesquisa no Brasil, Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico, CNPq: http://lattes.cnpq.br/web/dgp/home ), such as Núcleo de Pesquisa em Conexões Intermidiáticas (NucCon), Grupo de Pesquisa Hipermídia e Linguagem (UFSC), Intermídia: estudos sobre a intermidialidade (UFMG), among others. The aim of this Margolin’s is to historicize intermedial studies diachronically in Brazil. In order to do so, we will rely on the production registered with the national official curriculum online platform Lattes (Plataforma Lattes do Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico, CNPq: http://lattes.cnpq.br/ ) by members of research groups which have been officially registered in the national directory entitled Diretório dos Grupos de Pesquisa no Brasil, by the Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq).
