The Question of Mimesis in Brazilian Colonial Literature

Blog Article

This paper aims to investigate how mimesis rules Brazilian colonial literary production, considering a tension between its understanding as an imitation of nature or human actions and as an ECHINACEA 2+ emulation of canonical authors and rhetorical topics.We propose that the crossing of those two understandings causes a Bath Lifts transformation of the classical topics, without thereby considering colonial literature as original or detached from European literary series.
