Abstract

This doctoral project aims first to discuss and deepen a reflection on the social conditions of emergence of a Portuguese-speaking transnational literary space. How did your constitution come about? What are your internal disputes? What are your main actors? To answer these questions, we will take as object the social and professional trajectories of some writers of Portuguese speaking countries from this space. The literary producers are central actors for the understanding of the socio history of this space, since they are central architects of the manufacturing and transformation of the language. How does it work the processes of consecration and legitimation? How do they circulate through space? What are the ranking hierarchies and the clashes between them? The sociology of literature has so far dealt with its objects and themes always conforming to national borders and territories, little questioning about the instability of these concepts and terms, which are more imagined and ever changing realities than stable and unshakable constructs.
