Abstract

This work intends to analyze the recent appropriation of the expression \"marginal literature\" for deriving writers of the periphery, being taken as starting point the set of authors who had published in three special editions of Caros Amigos/ Literatura Marginal, in the years of 2001, 2002 and 2004. The hint left for these publications was that, more than the sociological profile of the participants or a stricted kind of literature, the junction of the categories literature and marginality for such writers hid a cultural specific performance, which is linked to a set of experiences and elaborations shared on marginality and periphery, as well as a link established between literary creation and social reality. Therefore, besides empirically to present this new generation of writers delinquents, this research aimed at to articulate the internal formation of the group and its meaning more general, searching to demonstrate as a set of ideas and shared experiences made possible that living of the periphery, traditionally excluded as citizens of the symbolic process, they could enter in scene to produce its own image, giving origin to an intense cultural movement in paulistana neighbourhoods of periphery.
