This work is a reading of the poet, novelist and essayist Oswaldo de Camargo's production (1936 ), seeking to link his poetry to short stories collected in the volume O carro do êxito (1972) and those with biographemes referring to the author's life path. Finally, it highlights common points existing between the narrative and the elements listed by Serge Doubrovsky in his consideration of the self-fiction (1977).

This essay will try to approach poetic writing translation of Ana Cristina Cesar and be words that she went and lived entirely subjected to writing and her dependent on a constant melee on a white seek-page. The theory of Henri Meschonnic on translation and Sigmund Freud about the memory will serve as a theoretical support to show that, through the creative gesture of poetic translation, to select her canon, the poet make in these choices, wake, memory than – perhaps – more to erase.

Under the pretext of mentioning Brazilian women who published in the 30s, this text rescues a specific moment of our literature and questions the lack of woman writers in the national historiography. If the historical importance of this decade in women's lives is considered, it is understandable that both introspective dimension and the engagement are present in the fiction they produced. If they did not do a "literary revolution" they certainly practiced the "revolutionary literature" quoting João Luiz Lafetá. That is why the female writing has been questioned , criticized and deprived of qualities attributed to the writing of men since it appeared, in turn considered the tout court literature

We draw the particularities of the protagonists Luiz Vilela’s short-stories: "Nosso dia" and "Vazio", from Tremor de Terra (1967), "Catástrofe", from A cabeça (2002) and "Era aqui”, from Você Verá (2013). In "Nosso dia" narrative we have the patriarchal space in which the female character is submissive to her husband. In "Vazio" the mismatch between men and women is represented tragically. In "Catástrofe", the female voice prevails. In the short-story "Era aqui" there is message of hope in the possibility of coexistence between man and woman. Those stories in our view portray the feminine trajectory in occidental society in the twentieth century. To trace this way, we resort to historical and sociological studies from the perspective that show how feminism has brought high changes in social theories, in the human sciences and in the social organization, making social roles and crystallized concepts questioned. Luiz Vilela’s short-stories fictionalizes this multiple universe.

The work in question is the result of the unfolding of my doctoral thesis, which generated a broader research in the work of Lima Barreto. The search turns especially the aspects related to the role of the narrator, the historical and social disappointments of the characters, the transformations of space and social structures as a result of changes in historical order. Lima Barreto was one author of his time, and that time was of transformations. The city remodeling process of Rio de Janeiro, the so-called "Pull it Down," the mayor Pereira Passos, not only transformed the physical configuration of the city, but also represented a change in the lives of locals. This study is to analyze these aspects in the novel Memories Registrar Isaiah walks.

In “Teoria do Medalhão” (1881), by Machado de Assis, we can notice echoes of arguments used by the philosopher Matias Aires in “Carta sobre a Fortuna” (1786). In this article, we intend to analyze how, in both texts, vanity is thought as the passion which rules the world. In both cases, vanity leads to achievement of social place, by suiting to convention, becoming thus the essential tool which ensures that world’s theatre works, with everyone playing their roles. In his satire, Machado brings references from Matias Aires regarding to pessimist “world view” (the “disillusioned” sight to society) and to importance of “seeking for glory” as way of assertion of the primordial place taken by vanity among the human beings.

This text proposes to discuss the concept of Metanoia in the literary space of Esau and Jacob, Machado de Assis, while traffic in place of the rivalry between twin brothers, that translate between many other rivals of the imaginary. Given the fragmentation of life of twins Peter and Paul, the spaces are fundamental to the construction and consolidation of both identities, which feed the anger and jealousy, to build the phenomenon of metanoia.

Since Ressureição (1872), his novel of initiation, Machado de Assis explained in the prologue, that his interest was to contrast two characters: Livia and Felix, presenting to the reader the dubiousness and the instability of the young doctor's personality, lazy to work and inconstant in love. Two years later, this proposal is retaken up with A mão e a luva (1874), in which the narrator contrasts the characters of Estêvão and Luis Alves, two lawyers vying for love of Guiomar. Through recurring ironies and aphorisms, the reader follows not only the warmth and sentimentality of Estêvão and firmness in action and rationality of Luis Alves, but the searching look and seduction strategies of the primary teacher in order to, metaphorically, climb a step in the social ladder and take the place of heiress of her rich godmother and being the wife of the most influent and determined lawyer who courts her. This work aims therefore to carry out a survey of aphorisms present in A mão e a luva and analyze them associated with some ironies used by Machado's narrator to contrast the characters of Estêvão, Luis Alves and Guiomar.

This study aims to analyze some unusual and fantastic aspects of the story "Second Life" by Machado de Assis. From the morbid meddling of an insane character, who is in the living room of a religious man in psychic normal conditions. The narrative allows us to reflect on the interchangeable condition of madness and human wisdom – leading us think how both of them, which are close to us, can live contiguous and simultaneously in the same spaces.

Alves e cia, by Eça de Queiroz posthumous publication, clearly has not undergone the same proofreading and refinement as the author’s other works.However, when made into a movie—titled Amor e cia, by the director Helvécio Rattoh—Eça’s mentioned work appears as a perfectly finished and seductive adaptation. This paper discuss the supposed fidelity between these two works, pointing out the movie’s cultural adaptations and the director’s options in his remaking of work, that makes him a “reviser” of Eça.

In the early 1840s, at the height of the cabralista dictatorship in Portugal, the writer Rebelo da Silva analyzing a drama and its reception by the Portuguese public in the Revista Universal Lisbonense claims that "the political passions reboil and exude in the artworks "(23/11/1843, p. 165). It's the production period of Eurico and of Viagens na minha terra, and also the time of the rising of young Portuguese novelists. What stands out in the set of narratives published in this journal during the editorial of António Feliciano de Castilho (1842-1845) is the search for new literary forms and the strength of the political passions that influence the writing of these novels.

Among the various literary activities that engaged Pinheiro Chagas, this paper intended to show his versatility in serial-chronic. Although some passages still indicate a melodramatic tone, mostly the composition of the Revista da Semana presents an interesting text, in that its author founds the theme for his chronicles of genres and unconventional speeches to the literary field.

The history of Portuguese novel is still a chapter to be explored. It is usually told as an extension of the French and the English novel. Such a perspective leads to the mistake of placing its beginning in Portugal at a time when the French and British models landed on the country, which causes the disregard of an entire previous production of the genre. Without the need of going back too much in time when considering this milestone, one can notice two occurrences that have not yet come to be widely known, namely the novels Carlos e Julieta (Carlos and Julieta, published in 1838) and O Estudante de Coimbra (The Student of Coimbra, published in 1840-1841). Both are works written by Guilherme Centazzi and precede the most broadly known works that established the novel as a genre in Portugal. The study of such works, mainly O Estudante de Coimbra, has the aim of contributing to broaden what is known about the history of Portuguese novel, as to throw light upon aspects still little explored and that concern nineteenth century narratives, such as the dialogue kept between this genre and the novel tradition of the eighteenth century.

João Luiz Lafetá escreveu um longo e aplicado estudo sobre a poesia de Ferreira Gullar, intitulado “Traduzir-se” – nome também de um dos poemas essenciais do autor do Poema sujo. Nesse estudo, empenhou-se tanto na leitura da poesia gullariana quanto na interpretação dos elementos históricos e sociais que lhe formavam o contexto, com direito a excursos interessantíssimos, como a passagem dedicada a Rubem Fonseca, em que traz à tona o tema da dependência cultural na formação da nossa literatura. O poema “Traduzir-se” foi transcrito na íntegra e na função de epígrafe do estudo – mas, curiosamente,não foi analisado pelo João. Por que não, se há nele tantos elementos que caminhariam a favor de seu eixo de leitura do poeta, tornando-a ainda mais consistente? Neste estudo, teço uma especulação: acredito que o poema fala tanto do poeta quando do João, autor do ensaio, e talvez por isto este tenha preferido tão somente insinuar a importância daqueles versos, sem desnudar-se dentro deles.

Transcrevo aqui a exposição proferida em “Dimensões da crítica literária brasileira”, no dia 12 de março de 2012, quando apresentei e discuti “Estética e ideologia: o Modernismo em 30” (in: A dimensão da noite), originalmente publicado no número 2 da revista Argumento, em 1973 (e depois republicado no capítulo “Pressupostos básicos, do livro 1930: A crítica e o modernismo, de 1974) e “O modernismo 70 anos depois” (in: Meihy, J. C. Sebe Bom, e Aragão, M. Lúcia Poggi [orgs.]. América: ficção e utopia), de João Luiz Machado Lafetá. Ao se retomarem esses textos, já incorporados ao cânon crítico e nem sempre devidamente debatidos, pretendi recuperar a visada lúcida com que João Luiz Lafetá soube apreender, nomear e compreender, dialeticamente, o vasto campo das transformações literárias ao longo dos anos que constituem o Modernismo no Brasil.
