ABSTRACT
Based on an approach that oscillates between testimony and subjectivity, on the one hand, and critical and objective analysis, on the other, this essay discusses the issue of decentralization of Brazilian literary life and relates this relevant issue in the field of literary studies nowadays with the theoretical-critical know-how carried out on the periphery of the national and world cultural systems and also with the issue of literary circulation. The ultimate goal of this article is to propose some basis of action for the reflection on theoretical and critical questions in the field of literary studies produced on the periphery of the mainstream literary and cultural system.
