Two hundred years of brazilian literature after independence

Abstract

For its number 41.2, Remate de Males invited researchers and scholars to reflect on the past, present and possible future of Brazilian literature, now that the country is about to complete 200 years of independence. The year 2022, the round number itself, does not represent much more than an ephemeris of the political autonomy of the nation. The date, however, can be valuable if you invite us to a broader and broader critical view, aiming at a balance of tradition and its possible futures. What does this date mean for Brazilian literature? What's your maturity? What is your organicity? What are your renewal procedures? Is the idea of training still topical? These are just a few of the many issues that are addressed and developed in this volume.
