Writing with the whole body by Laura Castro
Keywords:
contemporary Brazilian literature; expanded literary field; book-objectAbstract
This work is dedicated to the literary production of Laura Castro, a novelist, poet, visual artist from Bahia, Brazil, as well as a curator and a teacher, whose artistic practices scrutinize the modes of expansion of the Brazilian literary field. This enlargement takes place both with regards to the publication and circulation of the book and to a literature marked by not belonging to a single genre, making experimentation, hybridization, and the use of different supports its constituent traits. To do so, at first, this text assesses how the “collective gathering”, characteristic of the author's works, establishes independent collaboration circuits. Subsequently, it comments on Castro's last two books, O armarinho (2018) and Inês: pequena antologia do passado (2020), to assess their transit (of supports, genres, forms), in which the experiments and intimate experiences of the first are consolidated in a more synthetic language that opens up to questions of inheritance, of ancestry, and of erasure of the past. Authors as diverse as Derrida, Garramuño, Devulsky, and Munanga help develop this reflection.
