A Diáspora interamericana em azul-corvo, de Adriana Lisboa

Abstract

The novel Azul-corvo (2010), written by the Brazilian author Adriana Lisboa, brings to light identity issues that are part of the inter-American migratory movements, especially the movements from Latin America to the United States of America. Based on theoretical input by the Post-Colonial Studies, as the notion of modern diaspora by Stuart Hall, the research reveals the following themes: globalization (Jameson), relationship among Americas through the literary field (Moreno, Bernd), Latin immigration in the USA (Medina), Brazilian immigration in the United States and the identity of the immigrant individual (Tosta, Margolis), among others. Various aesthetic aspects of Azul-corvo line with the existentialist and reflexive nature of the contemporary literature (Cortázar). Thus, the analysis of this novel shows the immigrant’s experience as a metaphor for the condition of the contemporary human beings on the globe, given the displacement brought by globalization. The research methodology is a bibliographic approach of literary and theoretical sources, so that we can fulfill the goal of understanding, through this research, how this literature produced by Brazilians living abroad can reveal the immigrant’s condition within their cultural mobility among the Americas.
