prison literature, witness, experienceAbstract
Based on the categories of witness and experience, the article examines the prison literature genre. Current research investigates a possible shift of paradigm in recent Brazilian literature produced by prisoners or former prisoners, and tries to analyze the theoretical, discursive and historical conditions on these writings. Their most striking feature is the presence of an enunciating subject called ‘convict’ in contrast to the ‘political prisoner’, the central figure of prison literature stemming from dictatorial contexts.
