Cordel literature and Northeastern migration: tradiction and dislocation

Abstract Seen as the origin, that is, the archaic, the cordel literature was almost always analyzed departing from the point of view of recovering, regaining the primitive roots of Brazilian literature. The aim of this work is to investigate how, through cultural dislocations, cordel literature is produced and discussed. By cultural dislocation we understand the migratory movement of people from the Northeast to Southeast Brazil, and the cultural relationships that follow such process. We analyze how these migratory movements influenced the poetic writing of the authors involved in such movements, and their consequences on the theoretical discussions on cordel literature.

摘要 科德尔文学（cordel literature）向来被视作巴西文学的起源，亦即其古典源头，过往的相关研究大多以复原、重寻巴西文学原始根脉为视角，对其展开分析。本研究旨在探究科德尔文学如何通过文化错位（cultural dislocation）完成创作与学术讨论。本文将文化错位界定为巴西东北部民众向东南部迁徙的人口流动，以及伴随该过程产生的文化关联。本研究将分析此类人口迁移如何影响参与该流动的创作者的诗歌创作，及其对科德尔文学理论研讨的影响。
