The persistent enrollment of the speech of the periphery in the Brazilian Literary Movement

Abstract

This article proposes a reflection on the path of the Literature of the periphery, from its origins in São Paulo – in prisons, communities and other areas of exclusion – to the release of the carioca compilation FLUPP Pensa. In this matter, some issues that initial authors hold dear will be pointed out, the paths of legitimation, the construction of authorship, and the bias of the carioca speech, which is different from the paulista production, already considered here as an index of acceptance and recognition by critics and readers of this place of enunciation. In so far as necessary, some authors, such as the ones of the anthology Letras de Liberdade, of FLUPP, and the writer Ferréz, will be quoted to corroborate some perceptions.
