Marginal or canonical? Overcoming the reproduction of hegemonic discourses through literature in formative spaces

Abstract

In this work, we propose to consider what is considered “marginal literature” and what is canonical, assuming that it is not only the aesthetic criteria that delimit and demarcate such categories, and thus having a certain influence of hegemonic ideals in productions, receptions and literary circulations. In this context, it is worth noting that, in addition to the production sphere, a overvaluation and reproduction of the canons to the detriment of the production considered peripheral, which is conveyed on the margins of the renowned editorial corridors and educational environments; but directly linked to the historical, social and cultural context of society. Urging for effective insertion, dissemination, employment and approximations with Education in all its spaces and levels; thus establishing a democratic and contextualized teaching, for this, we also present an educational proposal linked to the teaching of Literature.
