This research discusses aspects related to Brazilian Literature, in its trajetory between a production that followed the models dictated by Europe and its quest for independence to the extent that the authors sought autonomy, appropriating the national reality as inspiration. In this way, we try to understand this search for autonomy by the concept of in-between, developed by Silviano Santiago, in the seventies. For a long time, Brazilian Literature - as well as other Latin American literature themselves - were considered inferior, because of this marginalized, whereas European literature was considered superior. The independence shout of Brazilian Literature in relation to Europe took place with the advent of Modernism, which saw in reality and Brazilian language the source of artistic and literary expression. Since then, conceiving the national element as a source, the Brazilian literary expression takes its place, tracing its destination.Downloads
