Decadentes, Dissidentes e Proscritos no Fin-de-Siècle
Uncle Tom’s Cabin in Brazil
In a self-reflexive moment in the French play Cora, ou l’esclavage (1862) by Jules Barbier (1825–1901), a man, Curtis, smilingly interrogates his friend Georges Bessièrres about his romantic interest in the play’s eponymous character: “You have to admit that if that beautiful young lady did not have such white skin, you would be less interested in her” (Barbier 5). Georges responds: “It is possible. As just as it might be, a cause always profits …
Uma Efeméride "Boa Para Pensar"? Do Cinquentenário Aos Cem Anos Da Semana De Arte Moderna De 1922
O imaginário intersexual de Coelho Neto
O artigo discute a figura do "andrógino" em três textos de Coelho Neto: "Ode fescenina" (1895), Esfinge (1908) e O patinho torto (1918). Considera que, no fin de siècle carioca, "andrógino" refere-se muitas vezes a realidades e corporalidades heterogêneas. Argumenta que o autor utiliza-se da profissionalização da imprensa para articular mudanças de comportamento e a fluidez das categorias de gênero introduzidas com a modernidade
The Pleasures of Imitation
Eccentrics, Extravagants, and Deviants in the Brazilian Belle Époque, or How João Do Rio Emulated Oscar Wilde
This article explores the reception and circulation of Oscar Wilde’s works and persona, including his sexuality and the news of his trial and imprisonment, among Brazilian writers at the turn of the century. Contrary to the readings of renowned Brazilian critics who have argued that Wilde’s impact can be reduced to a mystique, I trace the rapid translation and dissemination of Wilde’s work among Brazilian writers, especially João do Rio, Brazil’s…
De Pureza (1937) a Pureza (1940)
O artigo contrasta o pouquíssimo estudado romance Pureza, de José Lins do Rego, publicado em 1937, com sua praticamente desconhecida adaptação para o cinema, três anos mais tarde, pela Cinédia, sob direção do português Chianca de Garcia. Busca-se assim iluminar alguns aspectos centrais da política cultural do Estado Novo, em particular o momento de transição entre o regionalismo na literatura e o novo ideal nacionalista da era Vargas
José de Anchieta
The Honor of the Abolitionist and the Shamefulness of Slavery
Conhecido quase que unicamente pelo romance O Ateneu (1888), o escritor Raul Pompeia (1863–1895) escreveu também prosa poética, contos, crônicas; e além de desenhista, teve ainda uma atribulada carreira de polemista na imprensa. O artigo analisa primeiramente as raízes da militância abolicionista de Raul Pompeia, inspirada pela figura de Luiz Gama, que ele considerava o seu modelo de integridade e honra. A seguir, discute-se como sua extrema preo…
Journalists, Capoeiras, and the Duel in Nineteenth-Century Rio de Janeiro
This article explores how the introduction of the duel in Brazil around 1888 - along with its proponents' efforts to distinguish it from street fighting or capoeiragem and "men of honor" from dishonored capoeiras and the uncivilized masses - became a meaningful instrument in a process of symbolic reorganization with significant social, political, and legal implications. This process, staged on the streets and in the newspapers of Rio de Janeiro, …
Ordem e tradição
This essay outlines the intellectual biography of the young José Lins do Rego during the years 1919 1924, considering the cultural, social and political contexts of the period. Of particular interest is his encounter with Gilberto Freyre and the impact that the dialogue which he established with his new friend from Pernambuco had in his work. The essay focuses on some of their early writings and indi cates certain affinities, particularly with th…
Os "desvios" de Gilberto Freyre
perspectiva europia do conceito de mestiagem para uma perspectiva minoritria
Homem de Palavra, Homem de Letras
This essay discusses some of the dilemmas and contradictions encountered by José Lins do Rego at the moment when he begins to articulate issues related to the role of literature and the responsibility of the writer in Brazil. I first discuss some of his newspaper articles, later published in his volumes of essays; I then undertake a close reading of his 1934 novel Bangüê. At the same time that Rego recognizes a distance that separates him from th…
