Abstract

Acknowledging the inadequacy of the term lusophony - a word that today still carries colonial echoes - to define the study of literatures from Brazil, Portugal and Africa in comparison, the article proposes a new conceptual possibility for the comparatism between countries that speak portuguese: we call it Atlantic Literature. This expression, inspired in recent social and historical studies, takes the sea as a metaphor to the non-hierarchical exchanges that took and still take place between countries of Portuguese colonization.
