INTRODUÇÃO

Resumen

It is with great pleasure that I introduce the 31st Edition of the Revista Brasileira de Literatura Comparada. My name is Cecily Raynor and I am the Guest Editor of this Special Edition and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures at McGill University, specializing in contemporary Brazilian literature and Digital Humanities.[1] During the 2016 International Comparative Literature Association Conference in Vienna, Austria, I had the pleasure of participating in the panel, "From Europe to Brazil: The Circulation of Language and Culture in the Portuguese-Speaking World," organized by Professor José Luis Jobim at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro.

[1] This special edition would not have been possible without the dedicated efforts of Ms. Rhian Lewis, my Editorial Assistant at McGill University who was fundamental to the compilation of the present articles.
