THE TRIPLE BORDER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to situate the internationalization, insertion and visibility of the PPGLI, some issues concerning the spatial or geopolitical location of the Federal University of Acre need to be highlighted. UFAC's university campus, in the city of Rio Branco, capital of the state of Acre, home to the PPGLI, is located in the region of the Brazil-Bolivia-Peru triple border, and within a radius of 730 kilometers from this city is the Bolivian capital, La Paz, with around 900,000 inhabitants, which can be reached in just 50 minutes by flight from the city of Cobija, capital of the Department of Pando, separated from the Acre city of Brasil\u00e9ia only by the River Acre. In the same direction, within 950 kilometers of the capital of Acre, is the city of Lima, the Peruvian capital, with around 12 million inhabitants, linked by a daily air network with the capital of the Department of Madre de Dios, Puerto Maldonado, which is connected to the city of Rio Branco by a road network that can be traveled in around six hours.

INTERINSTITUTIONAL ADVICE
<\/strong>The University has an Interinstitutional Cooperation Office which is currently coordinated by Prof. Dr. Josimar Batista Ferreira, Vice-Rector of Ufac, with the aim of \u201ccreating cooperation projects with the purpose of signing agreements and partnerships at state, national and international level\u201d. The advisor has maintained close dialogue with the program's actions as a way of institutionalizing ongoing actions, as well as those described in strategic planning.

ACTIONS, STRUCTURE AND PHYSICAL SPACE TO HOUSE FOREIGN STUDENTS AND TEACHERS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PPGLI has classrooms, study rooms, teacher\/research group rooms to welcome foreign teachers and students, as well as research laboratories to nucleate the research to be carried out, such as the Interculturality Laboratory, the Laboratory for the digitization, recovery and reproduction of documentary sources - Ceprodoc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ONLINE INTERCULTURAL EXCHANGE LABORATORY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Online Intercultural Exchange Laboratory is linked to the Letters\/English course at Ufac and is a space for training undergraduates. The Lab's activities focus on inter-institutional partnerships with foreign universities to carry out Teletandem activities between speakers of Portuguese and other languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UFAC LANGUAGE CENTER
<\/strong>The Ufac Language Center, in partnership with the PPGLI, also contributes by offering foreign language courses, as well as Portuguese as an Additional Language, for academic purposes, for both students and teachers in the program.

PLACES FOR SPANISH SPEAKERS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the quadrennium (2017-2020), the PPGLI has systematically offered special places for Spanish-speakers in its selection notices as a way of establishing a policy to encourage development in postgraduate studies on the Latin American continent, especially in the Pan-Amazon region.

REGULAR FOREIGN STUDENTS IN THE PROGRAM
<\/strong>With his dissertation entitled \u201cNarrativas del descentramiento en La noche es virgen, de Jaime bayly, y la virgen de los sicarios, de Fernando Vallejo\u201d, defended and approved with merit on January 19, 2018, Jes\u00fas Jos\u00e9 Diez Canseco Carranza, a student on the Master's Degree in Letters: Language and Identity, became the first foreign master's student to complete his studies at Ufac's PPGLI, as part of the actions of the Program of Alliances for Education and Training (PAEC OEAS-GCUB), a joint initiative of the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Coimbra Group of Brazilian Universities (GCUB), with the support of the Division of Educational Issues of the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (DCE\/MRE) and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO\/WHO).

The Program of Alliances for Education and Training offers scholarships to citizens of OAS member states to pursue master's and doctoral studies at Brazilian universities that are associated with GCUB. Containing 152 pages, Jes\u00fas Jos\u00e9 Carranza's dissertation, under the guidance of Professor Dr. Gerson Rodrigues de Albuquerque, was completed within 24 months and was published in print by Nepan Editora, completing the cycle of research and defence with publication of the final work, an important step not only for internationalization, but for the full consolidation of postgraduate studies at the Federal University of Acre.

On August 31, 2019, the program held another master's defense of a foreign student, Teresa Di Somma, from Italy, whose title is \u201cRepresentations of race, gender and \u2018disability\u2019 at the Sanremo Italian Song Festival\u201d. The examining board included Prof. Dr. Miguel Nenev\u00e9 - Advisor (UFAC), Prof. Dr. Francisco Bento da Silva - Internal Examiner (UFAC) and Prof. Dr. Marcelo Alves Brum - External Examiner (UFAC).

The PPGLI currently has a doctoral student from Austria, Michael Franz Schmidlehner, who is carrying out research on sustainability discourses around the following themes: the Amazon, traditional knowledge, climate justice, society-nature relations.

COURSES AND SUBJECTS WITH FOREIGN TEACHERS
<\/strong>Regarding the participation of PPGLI students in courses at other PPGs, within the scope of internationalization actions, based on the partnership with the PPG-Letras of the School of Humanities of the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul - PUCRS, it is important to note that in 2020, 10 students, including master's and doctoral students, participated as special students in the following courses offered remotely by the aforementioned PPG:

Foundations in Literary Studies Through Everyday Life Representations, ministrado pela Profa. Dra. Adina Balint (Universidade de Winnipeg\/Canad\u00e1).

Discourse Analysis: Theoretical-Methodological Assumptions, given by Prof. Dr. Dominique Maingueneau (University of Paris IV, Paris-Sorbonne).

During the months of September to October 2020, as part of the Margens e Fronteiras M\u00f3veis Extension Program, Prof. Luis Lopes Herrera taught the course \u201cPo\u00e9tica de la liberaci\u00f3n\u201d, with 30 places, remotely, from Quebec, Canada, for students, PPGLI teachers and the community outside Ufac. This extension program, coordinated by Prof. Dr. Gerson Albuquerque, has also allowed for the exchange of research with the participation of foreign professors invited to the Open Seminars promoted throughout 2020, with live broadcasts on the Ceprodoc Youtube Channel and on the PPGLI Facebook page. Among the main participations of guests from abroad, the following stand out: Open Seminar: I can't breathe\u201d, with Ana Pizarro (Universidad de Santiago de Chile), Rosa Acevedo (Federal University of Par\u00e1), Gersem Baniwa (Federal University of Amazonas), Bebel Nepomuceno (Federal University of ABC); Open Seminar: Literature in times of crisis, with Albino Chac\u00f3n (National University of Costa Rica) and Themes and problems of contemporary Latin American literature, with the same guest.

INTERNATIONAL ACADEMIC-SCIENTIFIC MEETINGS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program's internationalization, insertion and visibility activities have been coordinated in a unified way, especially when it comes to holding academic-scientific meetings in the area involving national and international research networks, which have resulted in a series of technical and bibliographic products.
