Decadência e resistência do moderno na paisagem cabralina

Abstract

The landscape is a founding element in Brazilian Literacy and got strength in the work of Brazilian modernist poets, in a time when they were looking forward to interpret
Brazil aiming cultural interdependency. On those progressive times, the landscape had been retaken from colonial works in order to modernize current literacy and Brazilian
nation. João Cabral de Melo Neto began his carreer in a time of canonization of Modernism. It did not acclaim the ‘new’ anymore or even the great projects of nation.
The landscape remained, however, in Cabral’s work, as a fecund object of real esthetic efficacy as a way approach a country surrounded by modernity without actually
achieving it.
