In 2012, in England, the 121th volume issue of Granta, The best of young Brazilian novelists, was published. This publication was based on the translation of Os melhores jovens escritores brasileiros, which had been previously published in Brazil as a result of the Granta em Português project. The titles of this collection, released every ten years, operate as a means of introducing to readers the contemporary writers of each generation who hold a promising literary career. In order to investigate the potential defining role of literary journals such as Granta, this article analyzes the two volumes, both text and paratext, based on theories from authors like Even-Zohar that deals with restrictions and coercions imposed in the transfer of cultural goods within the literary system; Bourdieu, that writes about the inherent power of language use; and Foucault, who deals with the features and role played by the author entity.
