A menoridade literária em Olívio Jekupé

Abstract

This paper inquires into the mechanisms of political representation and identity construction that occur through literary practice in Brazilian indigenous communities, specifically in the works of Olívio Jekupé, as well as a study of the political displacements that the literature of indigenous authors causes in the national imaginary and in a literary perspective that is based on a Western enunciative locus. Referencing Deleuze and Guattari's concepts of becoming, becoming-animal, and minor literature, the essay seeks to show how such this literary ensemble can be experienced as a literary minority.
