| Sumario: | The article seeks to outline the complex relationship between the construction of the Brazilian historiographical and literary canon and the production of silencing/coloniality, thus understanding the canon as a technology of power that reproduces racialization. To address this issue, we divided the article into two parts. In the first part, we outline how the foundation of the discipline of History was based on systemic silencing and on the figure of the White Savior, fundamental axes for the racialization of the writing of history, and also approaching some alternatives. Then, we deepen this reflection from the literary dimension, rethinking how the construction of this canon silences and masks the immense pluriversality of fictional/non-fictional narratives, thus exploring how dissident narratives (black and anti-racist) reorganize the order of the canon. |
