Linguistic policies and contemporaneous literatures in Portuguese Language

Abstract

The process of internationalization of the Portuguese Language through the literature is a contemporaneous linguistic policy influenced by the history of the colonization and the recent phenomena of the globalization. By the analysis of pre-textual elements on actual editions of some literary productions connected to the States members of the CPLC (Community of Portuguese Language Countries), we will search to understand the role of the materialization of the literature on books and its relations with the production of an imaginary of the unity to the Portuguese Language and how the lusophone notion keeps a dissymmetry between the languages, the cultures and the notions which have the Portuguese as the official language.
