Another lapse of time: the new Histories of Literature

Abstract

This article is based on propositions of a new, plural, outlying, revisited history of literature, brought to light by historians such as Hugo Achugar, Nelson Vieira and Siegfried Schmidt in late 90’s. It combines a short review and a comparative study of the history of Brazilian literature published in the 90’s and 2000 decades. The article also discusses the connection that links literary criticism, theory and history, and presents recent attempts of micro-history practice in the field of literature at that time.
