Língua e mundialização literária
Abstract
The history of national languages shows that literature played an important role in the consolidation of the imaginary correspondence between a language and a nation. However, the imposition of European languages to the colonies shook that binomial relationship and enabled the expansion of those languages beyond theirnational territories. Nowadays, it is under the aegis of Lusophony that we see the growing number of literary publications from countries members of the CPLP. Through the analysis of paratextual elements, we search to understand the senses of contemporary Lusophone linguistic policies and the role of the Portuguese speaking countries. Examining the effects of unity, completeness and diversity in the idea of Lusophony, we question the relationship among literatures in Portuguese and we search to retrace the historicity which constitutes them. The hypothesis in this study is that literature is an interesting observatory of how the globalization phenomenon marks the noncolonized enunciative spaces.
