Abstract

In view of the power of literary writing through its construction of and with language, this study discusses contemporary literary narrative as a movement of insurgency against the order of domination of the colonial matrix of power, considering the processes of coloniality that run through Latin American peoples in particular. Understanding that power relations have been established throughout humanity through the use of language encourages us to think about the role of language in modifying the discriminatory, exclusionary and colonial structure that is still established today in the most diverse social spaces. Taking into account the concept of language proposed by Barthes (2013), and discussions on processes of coloniality and the construction of Latin American identity, based on Zea (1976) and Arias (2010), we seek to establish a dialogue with the novel Torto arado (Vieira Júnior, 2019), highlighting how literature can be a path to decolonization, due to the artistic and aesthetic nature of the literary text, an opportunity in which language is stripped of totalizing discourses.
