During a 300-year period at Tikal, the demands of genre dictate an astounding adherence to grammatical form in monumental texts of the historical narrative genre.

Prof. Angela Alonso draws on her latest book, “Treze: a política de ruas de Lula a Dilma” (Companhia das Letras, 2023) to address two critical aspects within social movement literature: the dynamics between the state and social movements, and the contentious issues that tend to trigger street demonstrations.
