Amazônia e modernismo: Mário de andrade “fora de si”

Abstract

Both Mário de Andrade’s travel journals to the Amazon in 1927, published under the title of An Apprentice Tourist, and part of the photos taken on his travel, most of which by the writer’s himself, bring together complex essayistic elements. Their verbal-imagistic nature shed light onto contemporary discussions on the relations between the local and the global, as well as on those between the literary and the non-literary. These notes explore that double-folded production by the writer at the time avant-gardes and modernists were forging new expressions of the self and of the Brazilian identities in synchronic time measures.
