Abstract
Founded in 1999 by the Postgraduate Program in Neolatin Letters of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Alea has become a journal of obligatory reference in the area of Brazilian and Latin American Letters, establishing a strong academic research link between institutions and researchers in Brazil and the world in the field of Neolatin studies, as well as in related areas such as comparative literature, cultural studies, translation studies, literary theory and aesthetics. This article studies the role Alea has played in the development and updating of knowledge about Hispanic, French and Italian language literatures produced in Brazil, highlighting its contributions in terms of articles, translations, archival documents and reviews over the past five years and its systematic collaboration with universities and researchers abroad. Organised according to a historical division into three main areas (internationalisation of Brazilian research; ethics and editorial quality; and the prospect of insertion in the Open Science project), the article proposes several reading paths which, by giving an account of the trajectory of Alea's publications, make up an updated panorama of the problems and topics of research and discussion in the area of neo-Latin studies in Brazil and in the world.
