Theory, criticism and literary creation: The writer and his multiples

Multiple writers: boundaries between criticism, theory and production. Evelina Hoisel, renowned professor of Literary Theory, presents in this book essential questions that permeate the universe of theory, criticism and literary creation, especially the notion of the writer and its multiple aspects, unfolding in the roles of critic, intellectual and teacher. Authors such as Silviano Santiago, Haroldo de Campos, Décio Pignatari, Affonso Romano de Sant'Anna, Judith Grossmann and Evando Nascimento, among others, are approached from the perspective of contemporary issues, according to aspects of autobiography, autofiction and biofiction, decisive themes for literature in the 21st century. The interdisciplinary perspective of literary studies in relation to philosophy is noteworthy, particularly that of French thinkers such as Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, and Roland Barthes. Hoisel's research is useful both for writers and others interested in literature and poetry, as well as for students and university professors in the humanities.
