Dr. Paulo Dutra

Paulo Dutra is a side effect of a self-legitimated system of privileged cultural representation that drove him into becoming a non-traditional college student, an addict to short story writing and reading, a poet, and a teacher/scholar to escape performing activities, for a living, that some machine could easily accomplish. He is the author of Aversão oficial: resumida (Malê, 2018) and of the semifinalist of 2020 Oceanos Prize book of poetry ablliterações (Malê, 2019). He specializes in the intersections of race and cultural production in Luso-Brazilian/Latin-American context with an emphasis on conducting independent approaches to literary and cultural production that present alternatives to mainstream practices.
