Debate on Sertão's Meaning with Júlia Rebouças and Durval Muniz de Albuquerque Júnior

A debate titled 'Escavando o oco do sentido ou o que significa ser-tão?' was held between Júlia Rebouças and Durval Muniz de Albuquerque Júnior. The discussion centered on the concept of the sertão, Brazil's semi-arid backlands, exploring its cultural and philosophical dimensions. Durval Muniz de Albuquerque Júnior, a historian and writer, contributed his expertise on the region's historical and social significance. Júlia Rebouças, a curator and researcher, engaged with contemporary interpretations of the sertão in artistic and cultural contexts. The event was organized under the 'Arquivos Durval Muniz De Albuquerque Júnior' series, focusing on archival and intellectual explorations. It addressed the idea of 'ser-tão,' a play on words linking 'being' and 'sertão,' to examine identity and meaning. The debate was part of a broader initiative to document and discuss Brazilian cultural themes. It was published on Arte Brasileiros, a platform for Brazilian art and culture.
