Resisting in language: native literature against monolingual silencing

Abstract

The present work proposes to think language as a terrain on which colonialism, biopolitics and necropolitics have built their bases. Both because the possession of the logos is the basis for the distributions of the sensible and establishes the division between those who share a common and the part of the partless, between political existence and bare life, and because monolingualism is an essential gear of the colonial machine that, even today, kills languages ​​and silences stories. Against this excluding project of national language, Native Literature resists with a becoming-minor of the major language, destabilizing the uniqueness of the language, the history, the literature and the very concept of Brazilian People.

Keywords:
linguicide; becoming-minor of language; native literature
