Résumé

 Since the margin is not generally given the chance to speak and since such important issues should be tackled with sensibility, the discarded discursive modulations will be discussed. Milton Hatoum’s literary treatments of Western discourses of progress and development in The Brothers (2002), and its potentialization in John Gledson’s translation of the novel will be mainly analyzed. The concepts of social hierarchy and degrees of social inferiority are a deeply rooted issue in Brazil´s colonial heritage. Similarly, the future of Brazilians who have been deeply marginalized cannot avoid the scars of the past. They are doomed to have their freedom limited to dead words.
