The Middle Age in Residual Studies

Abstract

Based on the theme “Re-reading of the Medieval Tradition”, we will tell about the re-readings made by members of the Group of Literary and Cultural Residuality Studies – GERLIC, which acts since 1991 in the Letters Course/Literature Department of Universidade Federal do Ceará – UFC, and which is registered in the Directory of Research Groups of CNPq. We will point out some of the studies developed by this group because many works published by members of GERLIC directly or indirectly analyze cultural residues of the Middle Age in Brazil. Our participation intends to demonstrate that the most suitable way to study the Middle Age in Brazil is focus the investigation on the residues of this period among us, as we do not have Brazilian medieval primary sources.
