The world has witnessed significant changes in the occupation of territories in recent decades, both in urban and rural areas. In addition to migrations facilitated by means of transportation, communication, and international trade, there are also mass movements triggered by wars, economic crises, and political and religious persecutions, which force thousands of people to seek refuge far from their homes in search of safety. These phenomena affect nearly every continent and spark controversial sentiments rooted in identities and cultures, often leading to serious conflicts among populations. Education, research, and artistic expressions also reflect the consequences of this reality, which presents itself as a challenge for society as a whole to address.
In this context, the VI International Seminar on Language, Literature, and Cultural Processes (VI SILLPRO) positions itself as a space for discussions on these issues, directing the debate towards the theme "Borders. Displacements. Migrations." The event aims to promote dialogue among students, teachers, researchers, artists, public administrators, and the general public, especially within the fields of literature, linguistics, culture, and related areas, always respecting diverse forms of artistic expression and critical and ideological thought.
SILLPRO is organized and coordinated by the Graduate Program in Letters and Culture (PPGLet) of the University of Caxias do Sul (UCS). The event was first held in 2011 and has since been characterized by its encouragement of multidisciplinary academic debate and its commitment to contributing to the transformation of society into a better place for everyone by putting critical thinking and scientific research at the service of all.
