LEIGHTON, Gabriela  and  LEAL, Amanda. Hibridization and border in contemporary marginal literature of Argentina and Brazil. Káñina [online]. 2017, vol.41, n.1, pp.83-89. ISSN 2215-2636.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rk.v41i1.28822.

With many things alike and some differences, the emergence of a contemporary marginal literature in Brazil and in Argentina is a social phenomenon located in the so called “favelas” and the “barrios” or “villas” (deprived neighbourhoods). Therefore, those narratives describe the social context of these peripheral “barrios”, giving voice to diverse “Me” within a literary field that was before a privilege of the “high culture”. Such literature is many times interpreted from a legitimist or relativist point of view. Nevertheless, those analytical keys prevent us from identifying the specific features, deviations and narrative breakages that are present in the emerging literary field of this marginal literature or “Villera Literature”.

Keywords : comparative literatura; marginal literatura; genre.
