Os versos da globalização: migração, resistência e cultura política na literatura de folhetos

Abstract

In the late 70's, Literatures that bring the themes related to work, which portray the migratory experiences of the Northeast, the daily life of workers in large urban centers and the search for material survival, became expressive in the Literatura de Folhetos. There was thus a significant production of twine on the representations of labor in the globalized world. In a way, the works bring social exclusion as their main aspect, in a social context marked by unemployment and a considerable increase in the victims of social misery (poor and migrant workers). For another, they show that there was an expansion of the sources of work in the major urban centers of the country (especially São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro), especially in the civil building and informal work’s sectors. The poetic corpus related to the thematic field allowed us to point out the indignation of the poets about modern working conditions and the exploitation of migrant Northeasterns. We use this historical source to understand: the trajectory of popular poets in the metropolises; the process of identity construction about the northeastern migrant; the narrative about the impacts related to the globalization process on the life of the common persons; among the most diverse artistic expressions that dialogued with the themes of the literatures through the process of social exclusion in the context of modernity.
