Ana Maria Gonçalves becomes first Black woman in Brazil's literary academy
Brazil has elected its first Black woman to the Brazilian Academy of Letters, founded in 1897 and modelled on the Académie Française. Ana Maria Gonçalves, 54, is one of Brazil's most acclaimed contemporary authors, and her election on Thursday is being widely celebrated by writers, activists, literary scholars and President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Her most famous work, Um defeito de cor (A Colour Defect) is still untranslated into English. It is a 950-page historical novel that she describes as 'the history of Brazil told from the point of view of a Black woman'. Recently selected as the greatest work of Brazilian literature of the 21st century so far by the newspaper Folha de S Paulo, the book achieved the rare combination of both critical and popular success, with more than 180,000 copies sold since its release in 2006. Celebrating Gonçalves's victory, Lula wrote that the book was his 'companion' during his 580 days in prison, 'and I always make a point of recommending it to everyone.' Now, the author hopes that her election to the 128-year-old academy – whose primary mission is the preservation of the Portuguese language and Brazilian literature – may help correct what she sees as a longstanding historical injustice. 'I'm the first Black woman, but I can't be the only one,' said Gonçalves, who will be just the sixth woman among the 40 members, or 'immortals', as they refer to themselves. Apart from two Black men and the first and only Indigenous writer to join the institution, all the others are white men. 'I can't carry the weight of representing an entire population that continues to be marginalised and that is itself incredibly diverse,' she said. The academy had as its first president a Black man, Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis, widely considered the greatest Brazilian writer of all time. Despite still being known as the House of Machado de Assis, the academy has since had only a handful of other Black men as members – something many see as a stark illustration of how racism operates in a country where more than half the population is of African descent. Poet and translator Stephanie Borges, 40, believes Gonçalves's election will encourage more Black women to become readers and writers. 'When it's us telling our own stories, we invite those who look like us to come closer to literature,' she said. Cidinha da Silva, 58, author of more than 20 books, is keen to stress that Gonçalves was not elected because she is Black, but 'because she is one of the greatest living writers in Brazil'. There were 13 candidates in the running, and of the 31 members who voted in Thursday's election, 30 chose Gonçalves – the remaining vote went to Eliane Potiguara, 74, who had hoped to become the first Indigenous woman to join the academy. Gonçalves had to run a sort of 'campaign' – though she emphasises she never asked for votes – in which she sent a copy of her book and a personal letter to each member, and phoned some of them to discuss her work. In 2018, another celebrated Black writer, Conceição Evaristo, 78, also stood for election, but received just one vote. 'The academy does need more women, more Black people, Indigenous people, and people from other parts of Brazil,' said Gonçalves. 'And I hope that now, from the inside, I can help make that happen.'

Santiago Giménez persuaded Jovic to join La Máquina
Santiago Giménez revealed that he was indirectly involved in the negotiations for Luka Jović to join Cruz Azul. 'Luka showed me a message… Iván Alonso talked to him every day to convince him,' the forward shared. Advertisement Since April, Jović had already shown interest in the sky-blue club thanks to the constant messages from the sports director. 'They sent him videos of what Cruz Azul was like,' Santiago mentioned about the follow-up. Giménez explained that the Serbian began to approach during training to learn more about the club. 'He asked me… and I told him it's a wonderful club, that he would enjoy it a lot,' he added. Finally, he highlighted the attacker's qualities: 'You throw him a ball and he holds it for you.' Although he acknowledged that there is a good forward line, he considered that 'with Luka's addition… there will be internal competition that will make everyone grow.'

Huawei eyes incentives for Brazil data center investments
RIO DE JANEIRO :Chinese tech giant Huawei is interested in investing in Brazil's data center market but is waiting on the government to roll out a planned tax break scheme, an executive told Reuters on Wednesday. "We are completely interested (in investing)," Atilio Rulli, Huawei's vice president of public relations for Latin America and the Caribbean, told Reuters. "We want the government to implement these incentives, which are good for the country, and the time has to be now." A government plan to dole out tax breaks for tech investments in Brazil is set to be sent to Congress soon, a finance ministry adviser said last month. The Latin American nation, the region's No. 1 economy, is looking to establish a foothold in the fast-growing data center industry, pulling from its ample renewable energy. The country is already courting major investments from firms such as ByteDance, TikTok's Chinese parent company, Reuters has reported.

Women by Women: A Shared Vision: Foto Féminas.
As part of the column 'Women by Women: A Shared Vision,' created to expand and develop the theme chosen for our Global open call, we had a conversation with Verónica Sanchis, founder of Foto Féminas, a platform founded in 2014 spotlighting women photographers from Latin America and the Caribbeans. Born out Sanchis's desire to see equal representation in photography, as a Venezuelan woman and photographer, Foto Féminas hosts talks, projections, exhibitions and a mobile library. Sanchis told us about how her project was born and the urgency of representation, what she looks for in the projects she features, and the events Foto Féminas has in plan for the future. Herencia Viva (Living Heritage) ©Isabel Tirado How was your project born? Foto Féminas was born from my own frustrations as a Venezuelan woman and photographer. I began my photography studies in the U.K in 2005. From the very beginning, I noticed that it was difficult to find content created by women photographers, and even more so by Latin American and Caribbean women photographers. This curiosity always accompanied me throughout my studies and eventually led me to write my thesis on the differences between local and foreign photographers in Mexico during the 20th century. Here, I researched and compared the works of Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Edward Weston, Graciela Iturbide, and Tina Modotti. Upon discovering Iturbide's work, I became very interested in her documentary work of Mexico. This sparked my desire to continue researching Latin American photographers. Later on, around 2012, I began a monthly column in the online Spanish publication Ventana Latina called; "Ten questions with..." (Diez preguntas con…) where I had the opportunity to interview various Ibero-American contemporary photographers such as Karla Gachet, Marcelo Pérez del Carpio, Alejandro Cartagena, Antonio Briceño, among others.
