2019 - Current Literature and Ethics III: Contemporary studies - creation and criticism

Description: In module III, the Literature and Ethics project has been dedicated to the topoi of contemporary philosophy that serve to problematize literary studies of Portuguese expression, maintaining the focus on the transformations that art has been operating in the post-humanist situation, in the same way that new knowledge also displaces and expands literary matter, as is the case with the effects that ecosophy, social anthropology, ethology, ecocriticism and others have had on forms of representation. In this module, the analytical perspective of ethics is complexified by the vision of the human universe as immured in language and in the agonistic relationship it maintains with the planet. In this context, literature (and its associations with other arts and knowledge) fulfills the role of making the world visible beyond an anthropomorphic understanding - bringing the human being in confrontation with a radical and heteronomous otherness at the center of its concerns. In a context in which language and reality transform each other, as well as ways of approaching new instances of reality multiply, the current project welcomes studies on the relationships between creation and criticism - perspectives that are sometimes allied, sometimes conflicting in the text's clashes with its limits and resistances. Current projects can constitute their corpora both at an individual level - in the case of authors and/or critics who displace the canon and expand the imaginative perception of this new reality - and within the scope of fictitious communities, equally heteronomous, such as those identified in the second phase of the general NELLPE project. Once its scope has been expanded to emphasize authorial practices in which creation and criticism are self-implicated, the project is currently housed in the new line of research of the Postgraduate Program in Portuguese Literature at USP - Literary creation and creative criticism - and involves students from Scientific Initiation, Master's and Doctorate degrees, in addition to counting on the participation of external collaborators and graduates of the Program.
