This event aims primarily to honor Fátima Bettencourt (1938-) and Dina Salústio (1957-), two writers born in the island of Santo Antão, Cabo Verde. It seeks to explore this space in its diversity in an (inter)multidisciplinary manner, or rather, to reflect on the literary, architectural, and heritage nuances of each place and to imprint on what distinguishes it some relevance and new paths of spatial and identity reading. This is because, in reality, we live in times of increasing acceleration of daily life, alongside a noticeable blurring of disciplinary boundaries, driven by the multidirectional forces of globalization that, to some extent, contribute to the perpetuation of a Western and Eurocentric matrix. The multidirectionality of pressures to which we all tend to subject ourselves contributes to a global standardization of peoples, to global norms, largely driven by economic criteria.
