According to Prof. Dr. Marco Cepik, "Despite such strong evidence of a successful relationship thriving in less than 20 years, ...assessments and opinions in Brazil regarding China’s role in Latin America tend to vary according to three cleavages: ideology (along the left-right continuum), interests (commodity exporters and national industrial owners), and knowledge (lesser information, worse expectations)."

"There is no doubt that internationalization and inter-institutional collaboration are indispensable to breaking the provincialism of ...some Brazilian intellectuals. However, they will not fulfill this function if they are understood and conducted in a provincial way, dazzled by superficial cosmopolitanism."

"In The Imperial Mode of Living: Everyday Life and the Ecological Crisis of Capitalism, Ulrich Brand and Markus Wissen offer new ...perspectives about the links between everyday life and global inequalities. The authors show how an ‘imperial mode of living,’ broadly disseminated by Global North countries during their hegemonic actions carried out throughout the years, underpins inequalities, and relies upon the exploitation of people and resources from ‘somewhere else,’ mainly in the Global South."

According to Prof. Dr. Renata, "The construction of feminist alliances found new spheres to express solidarity, to nourish common ...goals, and to achieve visibility in the virtual spheres, recruiting so many new voices and, above all, but not only, a new generation of young feminists. Undoubtedly, the Internet created new spheres and tools for social mobilizations. Still, the initial enthusiasm about the positive effects of new democratic forms of alliances in and through the Internet showed its negative sides by reinforcing fragmentation, polarization, and dispute."

According to Prof. Dr. Rafael, "Living in a city implies, simultaneously, localizing oneself in a place that is part of a larger scheme ...of things: a region, a country, a hemisphere, the world. Our daily experience is informed by sensorial and perceptual experiences but also other less tangible experiences, not visible, estranged, but which in some way are part of our lives and our world. In other words, a city is an existential territory."

According to Prof. Dr. Pedro, "I would add artists like Emicida, Adriana Varejão, or Chico Buarque and writers like ...Djamila Ribeiro and Silvio Almeida to the list of current "interpreters of Brazil." The essayism of the 1920s and 1930s has surely gained new forms. A documentary-lecture-concert like Emicida's "AmarElo" is an outstanding "hermeneutic" achievement, to use a philosophical term. From Emicida and through the visualization of what, a hundred years ago, was seen as a heritage to be overcome, we can understand a huge historical debt: the evils of slavery that still remain in the Republic."

According to Prof. Dr. Silvana, "Regarding Bolsonaro's succession in 2022, I think the right-wing is competing for space, and the ...left-wing is out of the game. Bolsonaro managed to unify the right-wing in 2018 with his anti-PT speech, and the 2022 unifying force may be the anti-Bolsonaro discourse. However, the question remains: Who will be Bolsonaro's nemesis?"
