Description
Summary:This article provides an analysis of the position of Brazilian literature in France. In fact, it continues the work of Pierre Rivas (Rivas, 1976) and Marie-Hélène Torres (Torres, 2001) while widening its scope (Torres, 2001). While we certainly owe the progress of our studies to these authors, we also find a major conflict with their methodology. It appears that their exploration of Brazilian literature in France during the second half of the twentieth century should be redefined in light of the globalization of literature, especially according to the concepts developed by Pascale Casanova (Casanova, 1999). High profile case studies focusing on international literary reception can no longer be framed as stories between two countries only; they illustrate the combination of binary (largely national) models with new patterns of globalization.
