A institucionalidade das literaturas africanas como problema filosófico

Abstract

From the Philosophy of Literature, the institutional character of the African Literatures is problematized, both as a literary institution and as an academic institution. For that, institutional theory is brought under a sociological conception and under a pragmatic or analytical conception of literature. These are questions such as monism and pluralism of interpretations of literature, and textuality and oral text are glimpsed. The critical positioning of Wittgenstein and Quine against philosophical sectarianism is also discussed. Finally, we discuss the Analytical Philosophy and literary institution in Africa, on Philosophy of Literature and oral text, in order to position itself on the following question: what are the African Literatures?
