TRABALENGUAS
This year, the theme of our conference is dedicated to the playful interaction of words. Language passes through stages of acquisition and transformation, similar to the ways in which parts of the body interact and communicate within the contexts of power and subalternity, from the silences of trauma to the voices of play. Tongue twisters also speak of twists and turns associated with language: obstacles, impediments, journeys, and changes.
