Representações literárias nos espaços amazônicos: leituras de margem.

Abstract

The present work concludes a reflection on the process of dialectic construction of a literature that encompasses various fields of social representations, on which history and memory project self-renovating discourses. Research has demonstrated that, despite the stereotyped images constructed throughout time, the internal and therefore less known part of Brazil possesses a vast literary tradition, which is often hard to access. That is a precious corpus of works which, far from requiring a special treatment, needs to be explored in order to allow it to be opened to the diversity of interpretations, in a way to facilitate the revision of the cultural history of the continent by revealing the socio-historical process of formation of the identities that compose the cultural mosaic of the Amazon.
