Research projects:
Jewish immigration literature in Brazil
Description: The reading that relates the writing of Clarice Lispector with the tradition of Jewish Biblical Exegesis is the main objective of this project. To evaluate which traditional elements live on in her texts and to conduct a survey of the biblical sources that dialogue with them are the purposes of this project, as well as complementing and properly reading the bibliography related to Jewish Bible studies.
Literature and the Holocaust
Description: This is a survey of the most recent authors who work with the Holocaust representation and an assessment of how the form innovates to try expressing a matter that requires some degree of disruption and de-automatisation.
Professor in charge: Berta Waldman (bwaldman@usp.br)
