- ItemA construção da identidade nacional pela representação do indígena no mestiço antropofágico de macunaíma(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2018-05-02) Raft, Gustavo Luz; Oliveira, Jurema José de; Soares, Luiz Eustáquio; Oliveira Neto, Godofredo de; Amaral, Sérgio da Fonseca; Cunha, Betina Ribeiro Rodrigues daThis paper aims to do a critical reading of the national’s identity construction represented on the book Macunaíma: the hero without a character focused on the indigenous element as a matrix of the cultural miscegenation process. In an attempt to rediscover Brazil and it’s origins, the book of the modernist writer Mário de Andrade mimics and satirizes elements that he deems central in Brazil. He makes a indigenous representation as a brazilian mestizo component and promote the foreign culture deglutition as national identity resistance. For this analysis, the concepet of identity is updated through historical and dialectical materialism, which allows us to surmise from the book - that even in rupture with eurocentrism and plaster aesthetic, mainly present in the used language - that remains a bourgeois traits and metaphysical that deals with the indigenous as the other, revealing a representation and image of the primitiv, paradigma, predominant on literary production of Brazil.
- ItemA crônica e a crônica de José Carlos Oliveira em 1968: o império do sério e do útil(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2015-09-28) Gonring, José Irmo; Nascimento, Jorge Luiz do; Albertino, Orlando Lopes; Amaral, Sérgio da Fonseca; Mendonça, Carlos Vinicius Costa de; Alves, Gabriela SantosThis study main focus is the book Diário da patetocracia – crônicas brasileiras 1968, by José Carlos Oliveira (Vitória, 1934-1986). Since there is no official status for the Brazilian crônica, we had to infer it based on a historic approach beginning with the XIX century, when Machado de Assis sketches a definition for the genre – still addressing the ancestral serial – as the marriage between the useful and the futile with the serious and the frivolous. In JCO's texts published every day in Jornal do Brasil and later collected in the aforementioned book (a posthumous work), we see an author working against the futile and the frivolous, as well as against the lyricism/intimism derived from bossa nova that characterized the crônica in the 1950s and 1960s. The social tension of that era would find a José Carlos Oliveira always ready, in his daily column, to address relevant topics in a serious and persuasive way, making it even difficult for us to call some of his texts “crônicas”. As a man of his time, in “situation”, openly existentialist, he answers those requests with a sartrean “commitment”. In order to understand the author's attitude, we resort to Bakhtin's concept of Architectonics of Answerability. We propose that it is possible to connect these two perspectives in order to identify the dynamics governing the individuals' ethical attitudes. In the examined texts from 1968, our evaluation is that the ethical dimension overlaps the aesthetical one.
- ItemA máquina literária em movimento de guerra: uma leitura de seis contos de Rubem Fonseca(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2016-09-30) Rozário, Jefferson Diório do; Trefzger, Fabiola Simão Padilha; Amaral, Sérgio da Fonseca; Nascimento, Jorge Luiz do; Silva, Paulo Muniz da; Pimentel, Daise de SouzaThe reading of literary production by Rubem Fonseca identifies inside a recurring theme: the opposition to the State power. Evidenced this point, based on the narratives of the stories "Feliz ano novo", "O Cobrador", "Fevereiro ou Março", "A força humana", "A matéria do sonho", "O livro de panegíricos", and other writer's books , we discuss and we examine some of the affections and perfections of these literary works, in a possible dialogue with the concepts of the War Machine and Nomadism, by the philosophers Deleuze and Guattari. The social formation requires the establishment and maintenance of various systems, which are supported by various speeches and machinery. Among these systems, some of them are preponderant, but they do not prevail without others, even though lurking, they act in contradiction to the model that prevails. The State is one of those prominent compounds, actually it is a form of central power in society , supported by speeches, attitudes, ideologies, finally, a range of elements that together form up the State machine. Averse to it, there is the war machine a kind of counter-movement to the determination of the state power. This machine is a nomadic breeding and it has the nomadism as its foundation. In this sense, it will be analyzed the fonsequiana literary representation of a subjectivity that is defined by a counter movement to the determinations of discourse that arises as a central and prevailing in contemporary society.
- ItemA trajetória do feminino em Graciliano Ramos : silêncio e resistência(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2009-03-30) Elisbon, Êudma Poliana Medeiros; Amaral, Sérgio da Fonseca; Oliveira, Ester Abreu Vieira de
- ItemAutor, narrador, personagem : as várias facetas dos Aires de Machado(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2013-02-04) Marinato, Ana Carla Lima; Trefzger, Fabíola Simão Padilha; Cardoso, Marília Rothier; Amaral, Sérgio da FonsecaThe last two novels by Machado de Assis – Esau and Jacob (1904) and Conselour Aires’s Memoirs (1908) – show a special labor dedicated to the fictional strategies of the authorship’s constitution. The authorial plays start being elaborated in the advertences of each text, and spread throughout the novels, coming to light through the relationship between the various narrative instances, which contribute to the composition of an authorial figure. This figure, constituted in a peculiar way in each work, also has intriguing outlines, if it is seen through an analysis that focuses on the relationship between the two novels. It is intended, here, to understand how the idea of authorship in these works establishes a dialog with the conceptions of subject that settle at that time; in parallel with such dialog, it is observed in these novels a retake of the philosophical and literary tradition from the 17th century, evoking a reflection about its presence in the end of the 19th century. Such analysis leads us to identify certain similarity with the conceptions of author and subject that bases what is currently known as “autofiction”, allowing us to conclude that the actual thought acquires great benefits when it plunges towards these works composed by the beginning of the 20th century.
- ItemCaio Fernando Abreu por Caio F.(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2015-08-19) Kogure, Linda Emiko; Amaral, Sérgio da Fonseca; Lyra, Maria Bernadette Cunha de; Nascimento, Jorge Luiz do; Carvalho, Raimundo Nonato Barbosa de; Chiaretto, MarceloThis paper aims to analyze the literally work of Caio Fernando Abreu (CFA) through the self written perspective (auto or/and alterfictional) and performance, from two point of views: first from the “travelers” (in permanent deployment from de characters in proximity to the author’s trips) and the other from the personae, mainly, the ones seen in the letters where CFA “shuffles in” other selves, signing different names, such as Caio F. The structure is analog to a travel script, the two point of views studied culminate in a travel log, with novels, tales, letters, “chronicles” and interviews fragments from the author to newspapers and magazines. The travel log is signed by Caio F., the other self that triumphs as a trace of a trace, the literally symbol, the representative, the most iterated persona that substitutes or overlaps more and more the author’s name, even after over three decades from its creation.
- ItemConsidere-se preso: erotismo e violência em O cobrador, de Rubem Fonseca(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2010-07-30) Farias, Herbert Denard Alvarenga; Amaral, Sérgio da Fonseca; Pinheiro, Maria Elizabeth de Sá Cunha; Pimentel, AryThe characters in O Cobrador, by Rubem Fonseca, either by vengeance, or as a response to a threat or to the dissatisfaction with the social place imposed on them, live situations of challenge towards the contrary power. Considering the corpus of the present work, which studies the violence and eroticism in the short stories in O Cobrador, as well as its links to power and resistance, according to philosopher Michel Foucault, such opposition will be found in the violent attitude of the main character in the title short story; in Mandrake s decision to pursue the elucidation of the crime, against the will of his powerful client; in the riot broken out by the convicted interns of the Onze de Maio Home; and in the socially condemned and forbidden passion of the Pierrô da Caverna. The establishment of parallels between the heroes in O Cobrador and other heroes found in comparable narratives by the same author and others, highlight this confrontation. Although they confront and win powerful forces, these fictional men and women are damned to frustration, given the fungibility of their triumphs.
- ItemCronotopia em contos do modernismo tardio brasileiro: Clarice Lispector, Osman Lins e Guimarães Rosa(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2018-02-21) Toledo, Vera Márcia Soares de; Trefzger, Fabiola Simão Padilha; Salgueiro, Wilberth Claython Ferreira; Amaral, Sérgio da Fonseca; Drumond, Josina Nunes; Rocha, Karina BersanThe short narrative, also known as short story, in the context of the Brazilian Late Modernism, is the object of study in this work. The short story possesses its own categorization, differentiating itself from other literary narratives in what theory commonly denominates “extension” or, according to Carlos Reis and Ana C. Lopes, a “modality of temporal variation of the narrative”. All the elements that mark the diversity of this textual type in relation to the various narrative forms – such as brevity, constitutive simplicity, linearity, plot concentration, chronotopic concentration, dramatic density, thematic singularity, intensity, univocity and univalence – are somehow related to extension. The emphasis of the analysis and the interpretation of the time and space componentes in the formation of the chronotope are conceived, in this research, aiming the recognition of a pathos that may provide density to the modern short story brevity. The main sources of research in analysis and interpretation of short stories of Clarice Lispector, Osman Lins e Guimarães Rosa were based on specialized studies in literary theory and critics. Also those that studied the chronotope in the context of modernity, in the twentieth century, and philosophers and scholars of time and space, considering the narratives as focus.
- ItemDa falta ao dom : uma leitura de Clarice Lispector(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2013-06-12) Paiva, Marcela Ribeiro Pacheco; Soubbotnik, Olga Maria Machado Carlos de Souza; Amaral, Sérgio da Fonseca; Crespo, Noêmia Santos; Soares, Luís Eustáquio; Morais, Alexandre Jairo MarinhoCe mémoire explore la littérature de Clarice Lispector en ce qui concerne l impossibilité d une rencontre amoureuse, dans le sens de l achèvement, de la cessation de l angoisse. Il considère ainsi le manque inhérent aux être humains et la possibilité, à travers le constat et l acceptation de ce manque, de transformer la perte en puissance, de faire vibrer le moteur de la vie, le désir. En fonction de cet objectif, on analysera quelques contes de Clarice Lispector, parus dans Bonheur Clandestin: Les désastres de Sofia et La légion étrangère. Cette lecture, traversée par la théorie psychanalytique, en particulier par les concepts de Lacan, cherche à mettre en relief le savoir implicite de Clarice Lispector
- Item"Depois, é o céu abscôndito do nada" : o niilismo e a poética de Augusto dos Anjos(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2016-02-22) Ribeiro, Sileyr dos Santos; Soares, Luís Eustáquio; Feitosa, Fabiana Curto; Amaral, Sérgio da FonsecaThis master's dissertation studies both the inherent relations of the nihilist phenomenon fathoming its core mainly under the perspective of Nietzsche’s philosophy and dos Anjos’s poetry with a focus on the utmost renounce of knowledge symptomised by the wearied spirit that engages in the schopenhauerian ascesis to shun of the pain of the ever returning desire. Those attitudes, namely, the renounce and the ascesis are both passive outcomes of the loss fundamental grounding and meaning of the objective world.
- ItemDistantes dos deuses erramos pela Rayuela : verdade, mímesis e literatura(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2013-03-21) Neves, Leonardo Mendes; Amaral, Sérgio da Fonseca; Coutinho, Eduardo de Faria; Nascimento, Jorge Luiz doThe novel Rayuela, from Julio Cortázar, has enabled the rise of a chain of concepts and events surrounding the poetic, literary and mimetic expressions by claiming for itself the status of truth. The character and writer Morelli, on which we will focus on more carefully, develops an understanding of literature which reveals the role played by the everyday human language as it grants it also a role of destroyer of commonplaces that distorts life and reality, making us more sad and discredited. Therefore, the literature must extrapolate its own borders, established primarily by other speeches that, not coincidentally, its fundamentals remains veiled. From the thinking of Luiz Costa Lima, Marcel Detienne and Martin Heidegger, this paperwork will evidence how the history, philosophy, religion and science speeches attempt to silence the voices originated in art, making sterile its attemps to comprehend mankind.
- ItemDistopia e subversão em O Ateneu de Raul Pompéia(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2005-12-09) Jareski, Lorenza Lakimé; Souza, Marcelo Paiva de; Amaral, Sérgio da Fonseca; Siewierski, HenrykThe purpose of this dissertation is to study the O Ateneu by Raul Pompéia, written in 1888, during the promulgation of the Slavery Abolition (Lei Áurea) and just before the Proclamation of the Republic. The novel assumes a prominent position in the Brazilian Literature what reflects on the singularity of the criticism devoted to it. After the realization of Ateneu (a boarding school) as an oppressive world and the broken and complex reality of its characters, the author of this dissertation proposes another reading of the novel, under a dystopian literature view. The evaluation broadens under the deeds of some citizens of Ateneu which suggests a dissident status. The harsh fulfillment the laws and order in force at the boarding school demands a dissident behavior, for the survival of some characters, revealed in different ways of subversion, always limited by narrow boundaries in space and time. Sex, love, faith, art and family relations emerge in opposition to the school s reality. At last, this dissertation investigates the way Pompéia s narrative builds characters whose behavior flee from the acceptable Brazilian standards of the 1800 s patriarchal society, indicating rupture of established social order.
- ItemDom Casmurro e São Bernardo : encontros e desencontros(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2015-08-31) Oliveira, Elizangela de; Amaral, Sérgio da Fonseca; Dutra, Paulo Roberto de Souza; Lima, André Luiz DiasNot very rare to find ourselves with the impression of having already read a text, already have seen an image in the eyes of many seems unprecedented. Using the words of Roland Barthes, when in happens, reading a book, suspending the reading with frequency is because we noticed an influx of ideas, excitations and associations. Within the literary production of Machado de Assis and Graciliano Ramos, two works are distinguished by similarity between them: Dom Casmurro (1899) and São Bernardo (1934). Though in different contexts and environments, these works are corpus of a comparative study which aims to analyze the "Meetings and oubt' of these narratives. The characteristics of the narrator autodiegético, the construction of memory used for the confection of the book inside the book, the figure of the woman in the stories of the narrators-characters, jealousy thananything and the tragic outcome of their narratives are the similarities and differences that if you want to highlight this thesis.
- ItemEtnicidade e literatura: a presença do negro na literatura marginal periférica(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2019-02-28) Mongim, Luciana Marquesini; Nascimento, Jorge Luiz do; Amaral, Sérgio da Fonseca; Schiffler, Michele Freire; Nathanailidis, Andressa Zoi; Maciel, Keila Mara de Souza AraújoThis thesis focuses on the critical reading of Elizandra Souza's Águas da Cabaça (2012) poetry book and Allan da Rosa's Reza de Mãe (2016), as a way of analyzing aesthetic strategies and resources poetic-discursive that structure the writing of two peripheral marginal authors of São Paulo, in which they relate literature, ethnicity, cultural identity and territory. The works integrate a network of dialogues and displacements of meanings that relates to the African Diaspora, the strategies of resistance, negotiation and elaboration of the identities of Afrodescendants and the cultural aspects and everyday experiences of the black being in the contemporary urban periphery. They delineate the black and peripheral body that transits in the urban space, as well as discursive and identity productions that dialogue with different codes and supports and that cause ruptures in the literary and linguistic canon and deconstruct stereotyped and discriminatory images, structuring a peripheral afro-marginal poetics. The procedure of analyzing the works is based on the comparative method of poetical dictions and the aesthetic elaborations of writers, as a way of highlighting the unfolding of the AfroDiaspora and Afro-Descendant aesthetics in contemporary peripheral marginal literary production. The approximations and differences between the writers base the singularities inherent to them in the process of construction of their poetic making and the black and peripheral body that is transposed in written handwriting. The analysis is based on the theoretical elaborations on cultural identity and its relations with ethnicity and the black diaspora, formulated by Stuart Hall (2003), and the reflections on black political and cultural history in the West, developed by Paul Gilroy (2001). Feminist criticism, especially related to black feminism, like the theoretical postulates of Djamila Ribeiro, Conceição Evaristo, Carla Aktirene, Joice Berth, Lélia Gonzales, Sueli Carneiro, bell hooks, Angela Davis, Patricia Hill Collins, Judith Buttler, Kimberlé Crenshaw, support the problematization of intersectionalities and the feminine, black and peripheral poetic subject in the process of elaborating a feminine identity in the periphery. Still grounding the discussion on oppressive factors that intersect, the notion of urban territory, which assumes the centrality of enunciation and statement, is taken from the geographical studies developed by Milton Santos, Rogério Haesbaert and Carlos Walter Porto-Gonçalves.
- ItemFiccionalização e autoficcionalização "em alguma parte alguma": do processo maquínico de construção e desconstrução de si na poesia de Ferreira Gullar(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2014-01-24) Tavares, Felipe de Almeida; Amaral, Sérgio da Fonseca; Almeida, Julia Maria Costa de; Santos, Roberto Corrêa dosThe purpose of this study is to develop the concept of autofictionalization of the subject in Ferreira Gullar’s poetry. Since this concept was not found in any text studied in the literature review, we hold our beliefs in Gilles Delleuze’s and Felix Guattari’s principles about the corporeal and incorporeal, and their pure transformation. Starting from the idea that the phrase autofictionalization is deverbative, i.e. a noun that comes from a verb - fictionalize – it is possible to understand that, as a verbal phenomenon from the act of writing, the subject created through autofictionalization will merely have a surface effect, i.e. an effect made possible by language, more specifically, by the verbal action present in the act of writing. Thus, an author would only need writing in first person, so that, consciously or not, this effect would be produced. Our understanding of autofictionalization – the surface effects – differs from the idea of autofiction, since, unlike the latter, it does not imply a cause and effect relationship and takes place regardless the author’s will.
- ItemHistórias cruzadas: mazelas do Brasil na obra de Graciliano Ramos (em diálogo com a filosofia de Theodor Adorno)(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2015-10-20) Freire, Pedro Antônio; Salgueiro, Wilberth Claython Ferreira; Amaral, Sérgio da Fonseca; Loureiro, Robson; Merçon, Francisco; Silva, Paulo Muniz daThis study recognizes the importance of the work of two of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century by relating Brazilian novelist Graciliano Ramos" and the German philosopher Theodor Adorno" works. The former, in the archaic and mystical Alagoas hinterland, and the latter, in the sophisticated and idealistic Frankfurt, both started out their careers before the Second World War and, despite the quite different contexts, both suffered serious consequences due to their posture. The author of Vidas secas (Barren Lives) was raised in an extremely punitive household due to his parents" socioeconomic condition and religious views. As an adult he bore fascist persecution that resulted in his imprisonment during the dictatorship of Getúlio Vargas. The German-Jewish carried out a permanent toil against Hitler"s National Socialism since his early academic preparation and later with the foundation of the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt, a decision that forced him into exile. After the war was over, he resumed his considerations in opposition to the capitalist system and Regimes of Exception. As for Graciliano, his time in prison prompted him to elaborate narratives drawn from his own mishaps and problems of Brazilian society. The fact is that both, each in their own way, made their works vehicles of criticism and contestation of established powers and values. This dissertation aims to articulate a "cross-history", bringing up the discussion of some concepts – such as grief and gloom, disaster and trauma, atheism, non-identical, art and work, literature and nationalism, language and society – that are a constant presence in theirs books, which, in short, interpret the world as a permanent catastrophe.
- ItemHumanidade em pauta : uma leitura dos contos de Miguel Torga(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2007-05-14) Mendes, Camila Scalfoni; Amaral, Sérgio da Fonseca; Sodré, Paulo Roberto; Alves, Ida Ferreira; Nascimento, Jorge Luiz do
- ItemJogo de espelhos: realidade fantástica e revolução em Cortázar(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2012-03-26) Rocha, Alana Rúbia Stein; Amaral, Sérgio da Fonseca; Mendes, Leonardo Pinto; Nacimento, Jorge Luiz doThis study aims to approach three Cortázars narratives ( Recortes de Prensa , Apocalipsis de Solentiname e Continuidad de los parques ) from the perspective of other literary and extra literary productions (letters, critics and theory texts) by Julio Cortázar. This is an experimentation of a ludic study, according to the proposal of the Argentine authors literature, embedded in the idea of the game as a different way of seeing reality and, through this way, make effective changes in the modern world, being they political, or personal. By using this method, we plan to verify the critical and self-critical content of Cortázars literature, to emphasize its political and pragmatic aspects when it comes to the revolution of human perspective and behavior through written art. To do so, we confronted texts chosen as corpus with other writings, also written by Cortázar, trying to make the latter to act as an enlightening component to his literature. In other words, this study evaluates the texts by the author in his ambiguous quality, which embraces both literature and critical (and, in many cases, theoretical)literature. The tales approached by this study are analyzed under three different perspectives, which are: the question of political responsibility of the Latin American writer, the self-writing and the fiction in their relations with the factual and its writing and literature itself in its relations with the factual and imaginary, and, finally, the position of the reader and author before the literary text. Both discussions raised during the analysis have a common thematic point, which converges to problematization of the common construction of an immediate reality rooted in philosophical and scientific manner of the modern Western world. Finally, the study experiments a different look at the literary text, regarding its construction, its interpretation and its effects on reality.
- ItemLírica e esquizofrenia: alucinação verbal, autismo e maquinação em Murilo Mendes(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2017-12-14) Ribeiro, Jiego Balduino Fernandes; Soares, Luis Eustáquio; Albertino, Orlando Lopes; Amaral, Sérgio da Fonseca; Craia, Eladio Constantino Pablo; Oliveira, Anelito deEste trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la lírica de Murilo Mendes, a partir de un estudio de las relaciones fructíferas que se pueden establecer entre la obra poética y la producción esquizofrénica. Nos ocupamos de una diversidad teórica, una variedad de perspectivas, en relación con los mundos de la estética y de las psicosis, especialmente Foucault, Deleuze y 9 Guattari, con el fin de investigar las conexiones y cortes entre los dos cuerpos: Lírica y Esquizofrenia, llevamos a cabo estos productos para la crítica de la poética muriliana. Convergência, Poesia Liberdade y Poemas, los libros analizados. En universo de la locura moderna, tres conceptos guiarán nuestro estudio sobre la lírica de Murilo y la lírica moderna, la alucinación verbal, autismo y maquinacción, lo que implica también la apreensión nervosa de los mecanismos poéticos, los juegos de relación erótica-sagrada, el juego de lenguaje, la retórica de las imágenes, moviéndose contra la política de la realidad consciente, contra el monólogo de la razón y la reducción de la vida. Nos damos cuenta de que la tradición interpretativa de la obra Murilo mostró un problema de la unidad. Muchos críticos han tratado de proponer una presentación completa de su poesía, aunque se reconoce la dificultad del envío de un juicio final. En la otra dirección, queremos producir, a partir de las nociones de psiquiatría, psicoanálisis, historia, esquizoanálisis, estética, de la cultura poética occidental, diálogos intensos con partes de la literatura de Murilo, discutiendo las artimañas de la vida moderna, especialmente, en el punto, quizá, más intenso – la esquizofrenia. Por lo tanto ya no es un concepto médico, o identidades clínicas, o diagnósticos calientes, o una hospitalidad sutil, pero una producción de subjetividad. Queremos apreciar, en verdad, como nuestro poeta experimenta las formas de sentir el mundo.
- ItemMalandros e malandragem: Noel Rosa(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2011-11-30) Collura, Salvatore; Amaral, Sérgio da Fonseca; Francalanci, Carla Costa Pinto; Miranda, Ana Augusta Wanderley Rodrigues deAnalizza la figura del malandrino dal punto di vista del personaggio e del suo llinguaggio nella produzione del compositore Noel Rosa, mettendo in evidenza le caratteristiche e le peculiarità del discorso noelino, così come le innovazioni da lui introdotte nell ambito della canzone popolare brasiliana, risultanti dalla coniugazione di vari fattori: musicale, tematico, linguistico e poetico. Contestualizza la figura del malandrino, esposta a cambiamenti significanti tra la fine del secolo XIX e i primi tre decenni del XX secolo, concentrando l analisi sul periodo di Noel Rosa e Getúlio Vargas. Sotto la luce della tematica del malandrino e del malandrinaggio, conduce un panorama storico, sociale, politico e culturale del periodo in analisi, osservando la diverse relazioni di Noel Rosa com il malandrino e il malandrinaggio. Discute i cambiamenti di prospettiva che Noel, cronista di Vila Isabel, propose riguardo la visione del malandrino: egli percepì che in una società in fase di grandi trasformazioni qual era Rio de Janeiro in quell epoca, l associazione dell immagine del malandrino dal coltello in tasca con il mondo del samba, poteva costituire un pericolo per il progresso della carriera artistica dei nuovi compositori.
