Paulicéia Desvairada from Mário de Andrade was the corpus of this study. It was observed how the intense changing context through which São Paulo was passing in the beginning of the 20th century was determinant to the construction of various elements in the poetry of the author’s books and how he inserts himself in this context creating a book about São Paulo, and at the same time, and somehow, about himself. The main objective was to establish relations between the context and the various references existing in the book, besides observing the different ways and degrees of indexicality that these references have in the studied book and how these indices may act as metaphors structuring elements, this way helping in what Jakobson called “duplication of referential”. For this purpose, we used Charles Peirce’s concepts of indices, and also other concepts from the peircean semiotics in order to understand the sign relations found in different dimensions of the book. This made us interrelate the poems and verses with the context of the book as a whole. We tried to keep distance from the simple idea of symbol, and to consider the book, in its integrality, being an indice about São Paulo in the beginning of the 20th century. The study was based on the categories of “manifest indexicality” and “diffuse indexicality”, proposed in this thesis. This was helpful because of the opacity of the literary language, to comprehend the different ways in which the indices are presented in the poems. This way, it was possible to observe that in the studied book there are a series of indications to spaces, actions and people that represented the break in the artistic and behavioral field. It was also possible to notice that these choices bring a series of marginalized people by the urbanization process, putting them into the spotlight, not only poetically but also historically. This happening in an agonistic way and as a result of a complex ideological web that involved the author himself. Further, this study tried to consider indices as elements of poetical construction, putting into check its ability of representing reality and making us think about the reality itself as an element of construction of the art, as well as some ways through which the poetical language may use referentiality without disconsidering the “autonomous” aspect of the art. Finally, when questioning the tenuous relations between art and reality we seek to consider the sign as a poetical and ideological artefact.
