Assentamentos literários: Literatura Negra Brasileira em Criação Crioula Nu Elefante Branco

Abstract

The present work addresses the formation of the field of Black Brazilian Literature from the analysis of the book Criação Crioula Nu Elefante Branco (edited by the Official Press of the State of São Paulo, 1987), as the result of the First Encounter of Black Brazilian Poets and Fictionists in São Paulo in 1985. Understanding the First Encounter as a starting point for the field, we will trace the paths we have traveled until we reached Criação Crioula and everything that has unfolded after that watershed encounter for Black Literature. In order to discuss what we are proposing, we bring theoreticians such as Florentina Souza, Eduardo de Assis Duarte, Pierre Bourdieu, Cuti, Regina Dalcastagnè, Mário Augusto Medeiros da Silva, Conceição Evaristo among others.
