Carlos Walter Porto Gonçalves: essential friend of life
Abstract
This text is not proposed as what, strictly, is usually considered an academic article, since its fundamental objective is to offer a sense of intellectual and academic recognition, of respect and deep affection for the academic and intellectual career, but, above all, to the always twinned spirit that Carlos Walter Porto-Gonçalves shared with all those others (intellectuals, academics, peoples and/or communities in struggle), which he also embodied as part of his own r-existence as an expression of his irreducible connection and struggle for life. For this reason, the text follows the journey of an academic-intellectual-political relationship and friendship, marked by meetings, conversations, sharing, debates and creations in which we both learned to deepen the fight for the sustainability of everyone's life.
