New Issue Published - Vol. 37, No. 4 (2024)

The journal Linha D'Água (USP, Brazil) has just published a new issue on the theme: 'Chiffons de Papier and the Resurgence of the Epistolary: Metamorphoses, Dynamics, and Confluences.'

This issue offers a significant contribution to the study of letters, not only as historical or biographical documents but also as spaces of resistance, memory, and identity construction.

In the 18 articles that comprise this issue, it is possible to observe how the epistolary genre, in its multiple forms and meanings, remains a powerful tool for communication, expression, and resistance. Whether as a means to construct and reflect on individual or collective identities or as a space for dialogue between the past and the present, the letter endures as a form of writing that adapts to societal transformations without losing its ability to uniquely connect us with others and ourselves.

The thematic dossier was guest-edited by Prof. Dr. Isabel Roboredo Seara (UAb | CLUNL/NOVA, Portugal), and Prof. Dr. Renata Ferreira Costa (UFS, Brazil).

We invite everyone to access the articles in the dossier, available at: https://www.revistas.usp.br/linhadagua/issue/view/13483
