Brazilian literary historiography today: hybridism and multiplicity

Abstract

The history of Brazilian literature recorded in compendia and reference works presents, in successive movements, the writers, the works and their circumstances, from the colonial period until the end of the last century. From this last period on, however, a certain incompleteness can be observed in these works, resulting, among other reasons, from the time necessary for the procedures of selection, analysis and interpretation of data on the varied and voluminous literary production. After two decades of the 21^st century, this article proposes the resumption and completion of recent production trends, such as hybridism and multiplicity, in their relations of continuity or rupture with the last century´s production. It is hoped to gather in this text subsidies to complement the construction of Brazilian literary historiography.
