Literature, bread, and poetry: peripheric condition and political-cultural activism

Description

Abstract:
Based on texts collected in ‘Literatura, pão e poesia’ (2011) by Sergio Vaz, this article proposes a reflection on the periphery as a way of inhabiting the world and language, being at the same time a space for the political and cultural action that links literature to the ways of organization and meaning of community life.
A partir de textos reunidos em 'Literatura, pão e poesia' (2011) de Sérgio Vaz, este artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre a periferia como forma de habitar o mundo e a linguagem, sendo ao mesmo tempo espaço de ação política e cultural que liga a literatura às formas de organizar e achar significado na vida comunitária.
