Literature and writing studies highlight poetry and diaristic genres

Various literary works and educational resources focus on the importance of reading, poetry, and writing. In Brazil, academic and pedagogical references include studies on literacy, linguistics, and the teaching of literature in classrooms, featuring works by authors such as Manoel de Barros and Vinícius de Moraes.

In Portugal, discussions highlight the genre of diaristic writing. The work of Marcello Duarte Mathias is noted for its intimate and solitary expression, drawing comparisons to the notebooks of Albert Camus. The genre is described as a subgenre that captures raw, autobiographical reflections on life, politics, and mortality.
