Abstract

A reading of Silviano Santiagos’s Uma literatura nos trópicos, this paper explores the tensions between stated and implied in the architecture of the book as a whole, taking as a point of departure, on the one hand, the telescopic echoes linking some decisive passages of these essays and, on the other, the invisible network of reverberations created by these connections throughout the volume. At the same time, by underscoring the curious blend of reverence and transgression which constitutes this prose, a feature evinced in the debonair with which Silviano quotes and oversteps authors  like Antonio Candido and Jacques Derrida, one intends to show how, in this groundbreaking book, the authority associated with the bold and wide-ranging scope of its signature goes hand in hand with a deep and patient attention to the dead-ends and blind spots disturbing, on its very molecular level, each and every text.
