History, genealogy and minor literature

samba as a dissident song

Abstract

The article seeks to demonstrate how sambas can be well accommodated in the concept of minor literature. To verify the investigative hypothesis, we will first make a discussion about genealogy and History from Michel Foucault's notes. Then, we will start with a definition, always provisional, of minor literature and its deterritorializing and rebellious character. Finally, we will carry out the analysis of some sambas plots to justify the argument.
