ECHOES OF MY SOUL RIDDLED WITH RACES

Abstract

The work has as object of study the poem Improvise of the Evil of America (February of 1928), of Mário de Andrade. In front of the poem we will approach the question of the construction of the brazilian identity. The poem presents the attempt of a fatigue search of the lyrical self with regard to the issue of the instinct of nationality, the brasility that is present in the mixture of peoples and ethnicities before migration, particularly in São Paulo, during a period of modern and industrial development in Brazil. In this work we will treat the poetic construction in a perspective of connections and contradictions that emerge the relations of diverse peoples, speeches and colors. The I-lyrical in the poem points out the complexity of the poetic making around the mixing and erasure not only of people arranged in the poem, but of the very language diverse in the aesthetic composition of the imagistic conduction of the historicity that emerges the social being. The poem will be analyzed according to the theoretical foundation of João Luiz Lafetá, Florestan Fernandes and György Lukács, who will elucidate questions regarding the narrative structure expanding the reference dimension aesthetic marks the human transfiguration in this critical and reflective power.
