Through the end of the year, Djamila Ribeiro’s tour will travel to Curitiba, Porto Alegre, Florian\u00f3polis, Salvador, S\u00e3o Paulo, Ribeir\u00e3o Preto, Fortaleza, and Recife<\/em><\/p>\n

Djamila Ribeiro has taken the new edition of Lugar de Fala<\/em> (Place of Speech<\/em>) to nine Brazilian cities since June, on a circuit that has included bookstores, universities, literary festivals, theaters, and public institutions. S\u00e3o Paulo, Santos, Belo Horizonte, Paraty, Rio de Janeiro, Bras\u00edlia, Bel\u00e9m, Colatina, and Vit\u00f3ria have all hosted events centered on the book, published this year in a revised and expanded edition by Rosa dos Tempos. Eight more cities are on the schedule through December, extending a tour that is bringing back into public debate a concept that has moved beyond the boundaries of philosophy and become part of Brazil’s everyday vocabulary.<\/p>\n

The new edition runs 476 pages and features four new chapters, along with updated data, new intellectual references, and reflections Djamila has developed in the years since the book was first published. It includes a foreword by Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and an introduction by Grada Kilomba. The publication also marks a new chapter for Cole\u00e7\u00e3o Feminismos Plurais (Plural Feminisms Collection), the publishing project Djamila created in 2017 to expand the circulation of intellectual work by historically marginalized groups.<\/p>\n

The first event took place on June 9 at Espa\u00e7o Feminismos Plurais (Plural Feminisms Space) in S\u00e3o Paulo. The venue, steeped in personal and institutional significance for Djamila and the Collection, was filled to capacity.<\/p>\n

Two weeks later, on June 25, the philosopher returned to Santos, her hometown, to deliver a keynote lecture at Universidade Federal de S\u00e3o Paulo (Federal University of S\u00e3o Paulo \u2014 Unifesp), Baixada Santista campus. Identity, representation, knowledge production, and social participation were among the topics discussed at the launch.<\/p>\n

Belo Horizonte was the third city to host the launch of the new edition. On July 13, Djamila opened the celebrations marking the 40th anniversary of Sempre um Papo (Always a Conversation) at the auditorium of Tribunal de Contas do Estado de Minas Gerais (Minas Gerais State Court of Accounts \u2014 TCEMG). The venue was packed for a conversation moderated by journalist and cultural manager Afonso Borges. The evening also featured a surprise appearance by the celebrated Concei\u00e7\u00e3o Evaristo, who joined the event devoted to literature and critical thought.<\/p>\n

Next, Lugar de Fala<\/em> arrived at Festa Liter\u00e1ria Internacional de Paraty (Paraty International Literary Festival \u2014 Flip). Djamila took part in three events during the festival and, on July 24, drew a capacity crowd at CasaFolha. During Flip, she also announced one of her new projects: a book about the so-called “red pill” world and the mechanisms through which misogynistic discourse spreads among young people, particularly online.<\/p>\n

In Rio de Janeiro, the book reached one of its largest audiences. On August 2, more than 1,200 people attended Teatro Citt\u00e0, in Barra da Tijuca, for the debut of a partnership with Alma Talks within the national Lugar de Fala<\/em> tour. On the occasion, Djamila drew attention to the presence of a delegation from Sindicato das Trabalhadoras Dom\u00e9sticas (Domestic Workers’ Union).<\/p>\n

One detail stood out: the event took place almost nine years after the Rio launch of the first edition, which drew more than 3,000 people to the Lapa neighborhood in 2017.<\/p>\n

Three days later, Djamila met with readers in Rio once again. On August 5, she took part in a conversation at Shopping da G\u00e1vea (G\u00e1vea Shopping Center), moderated by journalist and writer Yasmin Santos, followed by a book signing at the Janela Livraria bookstore.<\/p>\n

Bras\u00edlia hosted the launch on August 22 during the 6\u00aa Bienal Internacional do Livro de Bras\u00edlia (6th Bras\u00edlia International Book Biennial), in the outdoor area of Museu Nacional da Rep\u00fablica (National Museum of the Republic). The crowd filled the space for the panel “Democracia, Diversidade e Representatividade” (“Democracy, Diversity, and Representation”), in which Djamila discussed the obstacles that still keep Brazil’s racial and social diversity out of the spaces where decisions are made and knowledge is produced, noting that nearly four centuries of slavery shaped an unequal starting point that Brazilian democracy has yet to overcome. The book signing that followed lasted more than an hour and a half!<\/p>\n

The tour continued in Bel\u00e9m. On August 25, the Livraria Leitura bookstore at Boulevard Shopping hosted a well-attended signing session. Djamila recalled her previous visits to the capital of Par\u00e1 and celebrated her return to present the expanded edition of the book. The following day, she took part in II Jornada de Boas Pr\u00e1ticas para a Equidade Racial (2nd Forum on Best Practices for Racial Equity), organized by Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Par\u00e1 (Par\u00e1 State Court of Accounts \u2014 TCE-PA), broadening the dialogue between the ideas explored in the book and institutional initiatives aimed at confronting racial inequality.<\/p>\n

The final two events of August took place in Esp\u00edrito Santo. On August 29, Djamila appeared at Sapion Summit in Colatina with the lecture “Lugar de fala e educa\u00e7\u00e3o para as rela\u00e7\u00f5es \u00e9tnico-raciais” (“Place of Speech and Education for Ethnic-Racial Relations”), followed by a book signing. It was the philosopher’s first public appearance in the city!<\/p>\n

Vit\u00f3ria completed, on the 31st, the list of nine cities that have hosted the launch. The events in Colatina and the state capital marked the author’s first public appearances in Esp\u00edrito Santo since the publication of the first edition of Lugar de Fala<\/em> in 2017.<\/p>\n

The range of venues visited since June helps illustrate the reach the book has achieved. The tour also creates opportunities to revisit the concept directly with readers \u2014 a concept that has entered the Brazilian vocabulary while, at the same time, becoming subject to simplifications far removed from its original formulation.<\/p>\n

The schedule continues through December!<\/p>\n

In September, the tour will stop in Curitiba on the 15th, Porto Alegre on the 16th, and Florian\u00f3polis on the 27th.<\/p>\n

In October, Salvador will welcome Djamila on the 10th. November will bring events in S\u00e3o Paulo on the 8th, Ribeir\u00e3o Preto on the 11th, and Fortaleza on the 26th. Recife will close out the announced schedule on December 6.<\/p>\n
