Call for Papers, Volume 24, no. 2, 2022. Dossier The obscured, neglected or ignored in modern Brazilian literature - CLOSED

As the Brazilian modernization process is invariably controversial and diffuse, the idea of modernity is necessarily ambiguous, and, for the absence of greater historical precision, the Modern Art Week, held at the São Paulo Municipal Theater, has been chosen as its milestone. We are now celebrating its centennial and reviewing it as has widely been done. Without ignoring the relevance that this milestone acquired for our historiography, it is also important to highlight other voices in order to broadly rethink the consolidation of authors and works that have been relegated to a secondary plan or that, when considered, ended up being passed over as the bearers of illegitimate discourses.

This dossier, in line with the historical materiality of the artworks, should contemplate creations that were unwarranted or treated as unworthy of literary registry, due to their authorial quirks, their prevailing reading trends at the time of publication, their repercussions of authorial figures or even due to undefinable reasons. These are the obscured, neglected or ignored in modern Brazilian literature, who, despite not being treated as references, call for re-examination, which implies rethinking the reading parameters of modern works and perspectively dimensioning the invigorating stances of reception of our own literature.
