Literatura negra sob a perspectiva semiótica: o dito e o não-dito

Abstract

Acoording to semiotics paradigms, the text is a whole of signification that is capable of congregating, even if only partially, the context conditions that enables its comprehension. Within that perspective, this article aims at identifying the process of thematic and figurative valorization in the construction of literary narratives produced by enunciators who create an Afr-Brazilian poetics. That poetics is formed by different literary propositions that are developed in distinct styles. One of those styles is articulated in 27 editions of Cadernos Negros (Black Notebooks) published by the organization Quilombhoje in Sao Paulo. The proposed analysis is guided by Greimas’ theorical conceptions and it is complemented by Eric Landowski’s model of regimes of interaction. This study seeks to delineate a typology of Black enunciation in Brazilian literature.
