The object of this work is discuss the universal / local dichotomy
in the literature (culture) of the Amazon, constitutive of a large miscegenation
process which gives life and form to the symbolic process, reaffirming the idea
that the Amazonian culture is a universal culture for being hybrid, even though
marginalized. The objective of this work is to analyze under the scope of Néstor
Canclini, Goethe, and Faustino among others, that the literature (culture)
of Amazon presents a systematics of cultural interchange. The methodology
chosen in order to comprehend is the descriptive-comparative method. The
results show us that the miscegenation resulting from the Amazonian social formation, which transits between a modern and a traditional culture, reflects
on the symbolic production of the region; and that the productions that propose
a cultural interchange can be considered, according to Goethe: Universal.
And much of what is considered universal, is not more than imitation of other
symbolic processes, overcoming or diluting them.
