Performatic criticism. The dislocations and affections of critical production and contemporary literature production.

ABSTRACT

In the last several years, the concept of literature has blurred its borders in the critical discourse, to the point that it is possible to find topics of critical analysis examined alongside other forms of discourse. This article will address examples of critical production identified within the category of “performatic criticism” that are affected by the writers’ literary experiences and that, from these experiences, seek to rethink their support and their place of speech.

KEYWORDS: contemporary literary criticism; contemporary literature, “expanded field,” performance; standing point ["lugar de fala"]
