“…International students' daily experiences at the university and in the community were characterized by high levels of segregation, economic hardship and anti-Black/anti-African sentiments. Unfamiliar forms of sociability expressed through subtle mechanisms such as laughter (Dahia 2008;DaMatta 2001;Martins 2008), perceptions about language (Castanheira, Street and Carvalho 2015;Lewis 2003), silence (Sheriff 2000) or Brazilian students' refusal to study or 'help out' (Abad-Merino et al 2013) as well as lack of financial resources restricted their physical and social mobilities. For instance, Redenção is located roughly two hours by bus away from the Fortaleza (the state's capital, located near the coast).…”

“…The complex processes of othering, crucial in the formation of identities in Europe and beyond, are investigated here through the analyses of social representation understood as both an epistemological and a political issue. (Hallam & Street, 2000, p. 1) From this perspective, in this book, the authors examined the ways in which visual and textual forms operate in the treatment of "cultural difference and explore further how 'otherness' provoke fundamental questions with regard to the nature of social knowledge, an issue of particular concern to contemporary anthropologists" (Hallam & Street, 2000, p. 1) and other disciplines, e.g, applied linguistics, education, and sociology (Sito & Mosquera, 2021;Szundy, Castanheira, Green, 2020;Santos, 2019;Bloome et al, 2018;Castanheira, Street & Carvalho, 2015;Carter, 2007;Hall, 1992;Spivak, 2010;Zavala & Córdova;2010).…”

This text re-examines the early and ongoing work of Brian Street and highlights the lasting relevance of Street’s analysis of “ethnographic novels” presented in the book The Savage in Literature: Representations of ‘primitive’ society in English fiction 1858-1920. First, it presents an overview of Street’s analysis of representations of ‘primitive society’ in “ethnographic novels”, then, it identifies two conceptual threads – ‘culture as a verb’ and ‘otherness’ –, whose roots can be found in this book, and that Street continued to develop throughout his academic career. The paper argues that Street’s early work speaks directly to those concerned today with examining power relationships in colonial and post-colonial contexts.

“…A noção de modelo adotada por Lea e Street (1998) origina-se da antropologia cultural e é entendida como enquadramento referencial que orienta o funcionamento de um grupo. Dessa forma, "modelos" constituem as maneiras de pensar ou de conhecer nas quais nos engajamos, e que, no contexto aqui apresentado, referem-se às maneiras pelas quais os participantes -os estudantes e o professor do curso LINTEC -dão sentido ao seu envolvimento no processo de escrita (CASTANHEIRA; STRE-ET; CARVALHO, 2015).…”
