South-South cooperation has oriented the political project of center-leftist parties during the first years of this millennium as it is based on diversity and dialogues among nations. Founded by these transnational political actions, the global South is able to escape the totality of the State and the abandonment of neoliberalism, thus it has been embraced by many contemporary theorists as a project of an alternative future. This essay presents the concept of the global South and debates upon its capacity to change the world’s geography. The geopolitical practices are then brought closer to trends in contemporary literary criticism in order to suggest new paths for the fields of theory of literature and comparative literature. Therefore, the essay aims to fill the blank left by Brazilian universities, as they seemed uninterested in following the movements conducted by political leaders in the first decade of this century.
