O clarim dos marginalizados. A literatura marginal/periférica na Literatura Brasileira Contemporânea

Abstract

The present dissertation aims at raising issues around the so called Marginal or Peripheral Literature and at locating it in the field of Literature and Culture. In the organization of the work, intellectuals working and revising culture-related non-crystallized concepts, such as Popular Culture, Culture of the Elites and Mass Culture have been used, taking into consideration conceptions related to the market and to the socializing of art. At the same time, in order to place this new literary movement in the field of the arts and institutions, interviews were made and literary works by four different authors who are active participants in the marginal / peripheral literary scene were used: three male authors (Ferréz, Alessandro Buzo and Allan da Rosa) and one female author (Elizandra Souza). In the background, the present study takes into consideration different questionings and reception to both culture and industrial culture, as it designs a panorama of the way such movement has been presented in Contemporary Brazilian Literature
