“Curatorship”, authorship and transcontinental fraternities – the work of Joca Reiners Terron

Abstract

Taking into consideration the novel Noite dentro da noite (2017), by Joca Reiners Terron, and its author’s role as the literary organizer of the series Otra Língua – which presents to the Brazilian reader the work of writers from different Latin American countries –, this research intends to focus on the transcontinental fraternity that Terron’s work, as an author and a “curator”, outlines. This is the sense under which Noite dentro da noite, until now the author’s most ambitious novel, is “read”: as if it were the Brazilian portion of an Ibero-American continent literarily forged by the curated collection, a strategy which allows for the reflection on spaces and affections.
