Literatura portuguesa: diálogos e travessias, 2024

A escritora Ana de Castro Osório (1872-1935) é reconhecida pela campanha feminista e republicana. Além disso, atuou ativamente em prol da difusão da literatura infantil. A relação com o Brasil se dá em todas as vertentes de sua produção intelectual, animada sobretudo pelas travessias atlânticas que realizou (1911-1914 e 1922-1923). Como ficcionista, aproveitou o conhecimento adquirido sobre o Brasil para escrever para todos os públicos editando o livro infantil Viagens aventurosas de Felício e Felizarda ao Brasil (1923) e o romance Mundo Novo (1927). Este livro sobre uma feminista portuguesa que se desloca a terras brasileiras em busca de uma sociedade livre de preconceitos de gênero converte-se numa utopia luso-brasileira imperialista ao longo da narrativa. Apresento aqui esse diálogo estabelecido por Ana de Castro Osório com o Brasil nas primeiras décadas do século XX para analisar como suas ideias sobre colonização e emigração portuguesa para o Brasil se articulam ao longo de sua obra.
