Literature and Resistance: the Strength of the Break in the Face of Silencing in the literary Field

Abstract

Based on the survey conducted by Regina Dalcastagnè about the profile of the Brazilian writer, intend to problematize the silencing and criteria of eligibility of the literary field, which culminate in a literary production mostly white, heterosexual, and male. This prevalence results in an adjectivation of literature that does not fit this pattern – female, black, indigenous, LGBT, marginal and peripheral literature –, insofar as canonicais literature is assumed to be universal. Dialoguing with the problematizations raised by Dalcastagnè, in the second moment, the article will work with the resistance movements of marginal literature, which opens its doors despite the publishing circuit of the big publishing houses. Will be analyzed two saraus of emblematic importance in this process of decentralization, Cooperifa in São Paulo and Coletivoz in Belo Horizonte, which circulate the strength of marginal literature in their writings.
