Abstract

'Across the Slavic Atlantic' is an innovative and interdisciplinary research project, combining methodologies from Comparative Literature and Translation Studies. It throws light on the complex, transnational identities of translators and cultural agents in Brazil active in the transmission of Slavic culture, including literature and cinema, in the 20th and 21st centuries.
