The aim of this academic paper/dissertation is to analyze the process of bringing childhood memories back to the present in the poetry of Manuel Bandeira. Moreover, we will explain how these childhood memories are rethought in the present life of the poet as an adult. We see that this process of memory in the lyricism of Bandeira may be observed in three distinct moments, for they occur in different times that the poet goes through. In this perspective we take into consideration the literary criticism, the psychoanalysis of Freud, the studies of Bergson and Halbwachs regarding the memory issue, in order to show that these past memories come up when an action in the present takes place and awakes them. However, these memories are rethought, coming into our imagination differently, for they do not rise to the present in the same way they were in the past. This work is divided into three chapters; the first one is a brief poetical and intellectual report about the work of Bandeira, which already states the memory theme. The second chapter is divided into two parts: the first one, which portrays the illness and confinement of the poet, when the memories are filled with anguish from the present; the second one, which shows the poet in resignation with his personal condition and the memories of a happier childhood. On the third chapter we discuss the period of the most remarkable poetry of Bandeira, which is marked by the esthetical changes established in Modernism. Furthermore, this chapter points out that his personal childhood memories reach childhood in a general way, for they cover, through the very personal matter, a historical and traditional past
