Abstract

This article brings a Post-Colonial analysis of the poem “As Brasíadas”, written by Diana Menasché. The poem is part of her book Traz o esqueleto que eu ponho a carne (2013) and, through it, the author develops a re-reading process through a contemporary perspective and based on Luís de Camões’ work, Os Lusíadas. Even though she maintains Camões’ epic format, Menasché upgrades the discourse and reveals aspects of transnacionalism and liminal gnosis in her own writing. Thus, I try to demonstrate that, as a Brazilian and as an immigrant in the United States, she builds a hybrid and transborderer literature, highlighted by the inter-American transit of knowledge and by the proposal of a liminal gnosis (epistemology) which shows the bonds among nations and emancipatory cultural practices.
