This study presents a brief review of the canonical historiography of Brazilian naturalism, in which it appears with a consistent aesthetic characterization as « minor », from the moment of its first circulation to the present day. Thus, the article proposes a new cartography of Brazilian naturalism that clarifies the positioning of subgroups formed by dominant and subjugated writers in relation to the aesthetics. In this way, we redefine the map of Brazilian naturalist fiction from a new, plural and multifaceted point of view, expanding its index of works and authors.
