Marginal peripheral anthropophagy echoing from favelas

Abstract

The present text deals with the literature produced in the favelas of São Paulo, specifically the Cooperifa’s poetry gathering, analyzing the paths of this artistic and cultural movement linked to an aspect of political and militant order as a way of resisting through literature. It’s interesting concerning how the “Manifesto of peripheral anthropophagy” was constituted as an appliance to combat the dictates of Modernist anthropophagy, equally questioned by writers who seek to affirm their identities and literatures that surrounds beyond spaces of consecration of the canons of power.
