All material will either be available on this platform or as online resources (E-books) through the Dalarna University Library.

Learning Outcomes
On completion of the course students will be able to:
- identify and problematize, both orally and in writing, various cultural aspects and social phenomena in Portuguese-speaking regions
- reflect on the geographical spread of the Portuguese language in the world and the way in which it has led to various linguistic and cultural encounters in different historical and socio-cultural contexts
- seek, gather, systematize and organize information and critically interpret and communicate relevant information in Portuguese.
Course Content
The course includes a selection of film and texts which illustrate various aspects of culture and society in multilingual and multicultural regions where the Portuguese language has official status. The material is studied and analyzed through a perspective that emphasizes cultural encounters and the construction of identities, particularly in contemporary historical and socio-cultural contexts. Socio-cultural aspects are discussed, orally and in writing with the aim of providing the student with a good basis for understanding Portuguese-speaking environments from a transcultural perspective.
Looking forward to meeting you very soon.
