abstract
This paper focuses on the discussion of certain loci of enunciation that literary critics maintain in a subaltern position by locating them outside the literary field. The article approaches this theme through the concepts of the right to literature, by Antonio Candido, the subaltern’s (im)possibility of enunciation, as proposed by Gayatri Spivak, the right to narrate, by Homi Bhabha, and, finally, the notion of escrevivência, by Conceição Evaristo.
