Self-Publishing from Brazil’s Margins: Literatura de Cordel

2021 Junior Fellows Sara Kittleson and Liam Sims worked in the Hispanic Reading Room in the Latin American, Caribbean & European Division to create the digital exhibit “Self-Publishing from Brazil’s Margins: Literatura de Cordel.” The project highlights and contextualizes materials from the Library’s collections of literatura de cordel, a form of popular poetry from Brazil’s Northeast with colonial roots that remains popular today both in print and in a dynamic online environment. Using the Story Map platform, Sara and Liam crafted a narrative that uses images and audio recordings to introduce cordel literature, situate the tradition within the culture and history of the Brazilian Northeast, and explore themes such as urban migration. The project focuses on the self-published nature of cordel and its evolving role in representing the culture of the Northeast. The Story Map serves as an accessible hub for the Library’s cordel collections, while also demonstrating how special collections and popular literature can expand and inform our study of people and cultures.
