Resumo: | Monteiro Lobato and Mário de Andrade were the Brazilian writers who most devoted themselves to photography in the first half of the 20th century. They pictured friends and families, journeys in Brazil and in the United States, historical monuments and oil wells, natural and human landscapes. Despite having been amateurs and men of letters, at some point in their lives both believed that their images should reach the public, that they would be able to express something about Brazil or about themselves. The most usual versions of the history of Brazilian literature recounts their aesthetic antagonism. What can their photographs tell us about this rivalry? What other histories of the modern would this comparison raise? Taking into consideration the drawing up of the photographer-writer by the historical avant-gardes - in particular the Soviet ones - and the mechanical nature of the camera, we seek to observe the affinities and distinctions that characterize how these authors appropriate and picture photographic modernity. |

Registram-se amigos e famílias, viagens pelo Brasil e pelos Estados Unidos, monumentos históricos e poços de petróleo, paisagens naturais e humanas. Apesar de amadores e homens de letras, em algum momento de suas vidas, ambos acreditaram que suas imagens poderiam ter uma destinação pública, que seriam capazes de expressar algo a respeito do Brasil ou de si próprios. As versões mais difundidas da história da literatura brasileira consagraram o antagonismo estético entre eles. O que suas fotografias podem nos dizer sobre essa rivalidade? Que outras histórias do moderno essa comparação suscitaria? À luz da elaboração da figura do escritor-fotógrafo pelas vanguardas históricas – em particular as soviéticas – e da natureza mecânica da câmera, buscamos observar as afinidades e distinções que marcam as respectivas apropriações do moderno na fotografia desses autores.Programa de Pós-graduação em Letras2022-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/article/view/4590810.5433/1678-2054.2022vol42n2p20Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários; Vol. 42 No. 2 (2022): Outras modernidades: releituras literárias (1922-2022); 20-34Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários; Vol. 42 Núm. 2 (2022): Outras modernidades: releituras literárias (1922-2022); 20-34Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários; v. 42 n. 2 (2022): Outras modernidades: releituras literárias (1922-2022); 20-341678-2054reponame:Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literáriosinstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELporhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/article/view/45908/48282Copyright (c) 2022 Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literárioshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.pt_BRinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLissovsky, Mauricio2023-01-09T16:58:08Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/45908Revistahttp://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/indexPUBhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/terraroxa/oaiterraroxa.uel@gmail.com1678-20541678-2054opendoar:2023-01-13T10:37:23.332124Terra Roxa e Outras Terras: Revista de Estudos Literários - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false |
