Letters & remains. A hidden history between Brazil and Latin America

Abstract

In this essay we want to propose the study of the correspondence between writers, poets, and Latin American artists to trace inputs that allow to establish intellectual networks between Brazil and Latin America, in good part of the 20th century. We propose that this affective register presents new ways to plot this relationship. First we will present some of the fundamentals that have been used to explain the labile relationship between these two cultural zones. Second, we will explain the importance of studying correspondence to find other keys to reading. And finally, we will state some possibilities of investigation that this study allows.
