It intends to introduce some of the contemporary poets in activity today in Brazil, especially those who, due to a limited publishing market, among many other factors, do\u00a0not have opportunities to show their work abroad.\u00a0Also there is an intention of showing part of the rich movement in poetry that happens inside the web, through virtual magazines. And carries\u00a0too the hope to bring together \u2013 as a good and useful meeting point \u2013 authors, translators\u00a0and researchers to divulge\u00a0and discuss aspects of Brazilian poetry. However, and first of all, <strong>Alive<\/strong>\u00a0it is fundamentally a convergence of interests about translation from Portuguese, coming from partners educational institutions in UK and in Brazil. From the understanding that it is necessary to begin to invest now in the formation of a new generation of translators, this virtual space will also serve as a support to workshops accomplished in both countries. Classes of translation from Portuguese which take place synchronously at King\u2019s College London, University of Oxford and University of\u00a0S\u00e3o Paulo have <strong>Alive<\/strong> as a showcase \u2013 the texts displayed here\u00a0are results of a huge intercontinental effort, which involves plenty of work before they can be published. This collaborative work also involves The Rio Grande do Sul Federal Institute of Education, Science and\u00a0Technology, concerning to the updating of the content.Although the project\u00a0does not intend to present the totality of works in the country today, we have the expectation of at least facilitate the access to many and diverse poets, their blogs and books. There is also a great panorama in sound poetry, performance poetry and visual poetry in Brazil, that we\u00a0hope can be included in a near future. As the blog progresses, we\u00a0expect to add other relevant sections to the blog, such as more magazines and sites with interesting content as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alive<\/strong> has the support of King\u2019s College London, as a proposal for academic contribution to disclosure and discussion of translation formation and poetic production in Brazil today.\u00a0The approval for any contents is made by an editorial board, formed in accordance with the criteria established by KCL and partners.<\/p>\n<p>All works are copyrighted by the artists and the researchers.
