A crítica dos blogs e a literatura brasileira contemporânea

Abstract

Criticism is immanent to art in such a way that it is impossible to dissociate them both and composes the work in a way that its interpretation perfectly adheres to its composition. Criticism has not always been what it is today, based on theories and with a thorough view. Born in the 18th century, under the influence and domain of the bourgeoisie, criticism reproduced a highly elitist speech supported by the public sphere. Under several discursive, political and even ideological conflicts, it then started to be studied at universities as an academic course. Based upon this premise, the research rebuilt part of this journey, highlighting its metamorphoses and conflicts until contemporaneity, where it divides opinions about its decline established by its discursive crisis and means of communication. The speech of the academic criticism is not able to reach the general public and, due to such absence, an open space was fulfilled by another criticism which is not accepted by the traditional criticism but rather sets a closer relationship to the new reading public. The research aimed to highlight the profile of this criticism, its analysis criteria and especially the way it connects to its readers, as well as to reveal its point of view. For such conclusion, criteria were set to select the analysis corpus, considering the magnitude of the internet and its countless blogs on literacy themes. After choosing the blogs, the reviews were selected in order to establish the analysis material. As a result, several aspects were observed after the reading, which characterize this criticism and that highlight its relevance in the scenario of the Brazilian contemporary literature.
