Abstract
[Abstract] This article reviews the principal debates and challenges to literary history
after the critical revision of the discipline in the last third of the twentieth century.
More specifically, the article evaluates the possibility of constructing a historiographical
model founded on systemic theories, with the capacity to contribute
to the renovation of the discipline of literary history. Alternative historiographical
methods, based on polysystem theory, theory of literary field, and the theorization
of literature as institution, are examined with the intention of showing the advantages
that these approaches can bring to the study of literature, but also their failings,
and the debates they have provoked that have yet to be resolved. Finally, the
article proposes possible applications of these alternative approaches to literary history
to the lusophone literary systems.
