While traveling: on other landscapes and movements in the contemporary novel

On the different dislocations of some protagonists in Brazilian literature, we may highlight, in João Gilberto Noll's novel Lorde, some aspects which vary in gradation, such as the consciousness of exile, the experience between two words and the contact with clandestinity. Characters which travel in the novels Algum lugar, by Paloma Vidal; Azul-corvo, by Adriana Lisboa; and Estive em Lisboa e lembrei de você, by Luiz Ruffato, also point out to those motivations, embodying the contemporary migration and indicating diverse cultural maps. We aim to question about the convergence points between these novels, pondering on how Brazilian literature is thinking about traveling from some fundamental moments of its constitution.
