Abstract

This article aims to understand and to discuss the theory that underlies Formação da literatura brasileira by Antonio Candido mainly through concepts proposed by Adriana Cavarero, Donna Haraway and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak: “inclination”, “symbiosis”, “performing the other”. Because Candido exposes his theoretical assumptions in the “Introduction”, this text aims to discuss conceptions exposed in the first pages of the book making use of feminist insights. Pushing Formação’s theoretical assumptions to the limit, this text also proposes a discussion about World Literature, a theoretical framework whose hypotheses are extremely familiar to the ones present in Candido’s book.
