The theme of the seas has long been a central topic in scholarship on the Lusophone world, but more recent research has invested ocean crossings with new relevance and urgency. This special issue brings together a diversity of approaches, paying close attention to sea mobilities, what they entailed, and how they were practiced, and what meanings have been associated with them. Scholars also consider the performance or practice of movement in itself, from the efforts of ocean crossing to the subtleties of moving and the complexities of (maritime) kinetic life and the fabrication of migrant lives.

The teaching of literature, whether at secondary or university level, has always provoked the recurrent, and controversial, question: "What is it good for, really?" Well-worn debates about the autonomy of literature vs. its social function, its usefulness or uselessness, suggest the ethical and political dilemmas that teachers and institutions face when teaching literary texts. Thinking about the aims of literary pedagogy implies a reflection on which texts and literary genres should be taught, how to differentiate between teaching in the original or in translation, which pedagogical approaches should be employed, and how established canons can be critically revised in the light of ongoing debates regarding decolonization, gender equality, and environmentalism, among others. These questions are especially pertinent with regard to literatures in Portuguese, given Portugal's historical role as a colonizing power.

This edition of PLCS 40-41 focuses on the personal experience and literary production of male and female writers whose lives have passed in different ways and at different times between Angola and Portugal. The group of these people can hardly be covered with a single term, such as migrants, refugees, Africans from the diaspora, Afro-descendants, African-Americans, Afro-politicians, etc. In this project, the term "people in transit" was chosen with the aim of to address the most diverse migratory experiences between Angola and Portugal and their repercussions in literature. - Ana Paula Tavares, Aida Gomes, Kalaf Epalanga, Raquel Lima, Yara Monteiro and Zetho Cunha GonQueroalves - originally recorded for the documentary Living and writing in transit: between Angola and Portugal (2021). On the other hand, it includes theoretical essays and studies on the works of the interviewees as well as that of another writer in transit between Angola and Portugal, Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida.
