The chapters that make up this book BRICS intercultural relations: thresholds and transitions for a multipolar world? are crossed by this question and each answers it in its own way. The intellectual challenge in this presentation therefore involves not only exploring a precise image of these answers, but also locating the form of their expression in a cultural and (in)civilizing scenario of pure uncertainty, in which we can only glimpse forms, ways of representing what is announced as a kind of chaos and terror because, historically, no fall of empire or dominant cultural logics has taken place in a peaceful and negotiated manner.
What language or languages, then, would allow us to dramatize this impact of the BRICS emergency, in which, in addition to Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, in 2009 in the city of Ekaterinburg – Russia, held its first summit after the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc, linked to the US real estate world, and to make this scenario more complex, new full members were added, such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Ethiopia in 2023, and the series of new partner members signed up at the XVI Summit in Kazan, Russia, from October 22 to 24, 2024, which would thus make up a kind of translinguistics of chaos and post-Western emergence?
