Terror, Mistério e Distopia: As novas vozes da Literatura de Ouro Preto

Horror and social fiction gain strength with works that revisit the colonial past or project a critical future for our region. Presented at the IFMG Campus Ouro Preto in celebration of the institution's 82nd anniversary, the works of local authors show that Ouro Preto's literature is more alive and diverse than ever, occupying spaces that go far beyond textbooks. In this edition of Minuto TOP, learn the details of "The Witch of Ouro Preto," where author L.H. Vaz uses the colonial past and the marks of slavery to build a chilling suspense. And also learn about "Descápitas," a work in which author Luciana Ferreira subverts the traditional image of the city to create a provocative futuristic dystopia. AND MORE: The debate promoted by the educational institution reinforces the importance of encouraging reading and valuing the rich cultural production produced in our own history!
