| Abstract | |
In this work, I analyze the Marginal Literature Movement and its poetic expressions. The aim is to examine the dynamics of saraus (open mic events) that allow the emergence of writers who call themselves marginal, as well as the production of literary objects from the bonds these agents establish with peripheral spaces. I seek to understand the impact of urban experiences on literary labor, strategies of action, and production of writers from the outskirts. First, I describe fieldwork set up and how the first contacts with marginal literature occurred, in order to establish the parameters of the ethnographic, methodological, and epistemological milestones that guided the research. Then, I discuss the arrangements leading to individual and collective social agency that shape a new cultural and urban movement. To this end, I explore through comparative analysis models and traditions that have, on the one hand, influenced the sociogenesis of saraus as important spaces of marginal literature and, on the other, served to provoke a certain distancing during their formative process. Finally, in order to identify the particularity of the movement as well as the political and aesthetic meaning that these new authors can have in the contemporary history of Brazilian literature, I examine how literary agents problematize the peripheries in the narrative, which are places where they live, and from where they act culturally and produce literature. The argument is that these agents are now finding spaces to fight stigmas, set ideas, structure feelings, catalyze collective experiences, and ground their practices on the margins of the city as a result of the opportunities generated by saraus. They have been doing so by highlighting the importance of the use of words as a way of transforming their literary works into platforms for the exercise of a cultural citizenship. (AU) | |
